oops!
[glow=blue,9,999]THE NUMBER 1[/glow] The Sweetest Game Land of Illusion
Controversial maybe, but for entirely personal reasons. Playing this game with a bit of weed is like stepping into another world. One of the most atmospheric, feel-good, transcendent games ever made and never mentioned. I've picked it, if anything, because it may not be the best in terms graphics, sounds, innovation etc but it's so immersive and sweet and free from cynicism - and it's one of those forgotten games that never go for much (if anything) on ebay. Nothing anyone can say to me will ever remove the gorgeous memories of playing this game on holiday/with best friends/or just on lovely rainy days as a kidd. It just makes me go "aaahh" inside.

Hmmmm, Land of Illusion. I was expecting SpellCaster. Oh well, just me. Perhaps I should give this game more of a look, I really haven't tried it yet.

Anyone reading this wishing to check it out should look to ebay and see how many complete copies of it in the UK alone end at under £3, or don't receive a single bid. I've seen one without instructions go for 40p on a 7-day listing. There are eight available now with no bids - one at 99p under the very elusive listing of simply: [glow=green,2,222]'mickey mouse'.[/glow] It could easily end for that price if someone crafty has a shot at it. And I would just love it if someone here picked it as game of the week.

Must play, but can't until beat first game!!!!! You have brought up another point. Is there a reason why sellers list something like this so stupidly? Mickey Mouse for World of Illusion? What? That's freaking retarded.

Also you've got the edge on ebay if you're illiterate, because then you have access to such rare gems as 'Altred Beast' or 'Govellium' <true story>!

Hhahaahaha! Yeah, I've seen that a bunch. I remember something fairly hard to find listed so pathetically. What was it? Hmmm, can't remember. I used to buy My Little Pony toys for my girlfriend, and simply looking for My Litte Pony would bring up a surprising number of hits.

I think World of illusion was the megadrive's answer to Land (never released on md?) and starred Mickey, Pluto, Donald Duck, et al. Talk about overkill. I wonder if there were any pay disputes between the cast - I hear Donald dispised Mickey for getting top billing. Later on they both lived together after Mickey was confined to a wheelchair...
