Towards the end of last year, I wrote about rediscovering the 33-year-old console RPG I spent a year renting from Blockbuster Video after it (optimistically) promised 300 hours of game time. Indeed, Sword of Vermillion – the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis role-player from 1992 – had eluded me for years simply because I could not remember its name. I'd poured dozens of hours into a game that felt years ahead of its competitors, and yet it was the passage of time that'd allowed it to escape from my memory for more than three decades.
I return today with a similarly personal revelation – but instead of rediscovering a game whose title I'd completely forgotten, I'm here to extol the virtues of a game I once loved but had simply forgotten existed: The Legend of Dragoon.
