Let's toy around with "classics" feature every month. Feel free to discuss your thoughts and/or memories of the highlighted games that were released in the past during the same month of September.

First, I love looking back at game releases for the Nintendo twenty years ago, and the major NES release in September of 1987 was 3-D Battles of World Runner. Does anyone else remember that game? A quote lifted directly from the manual describes the premise best:

“The eight worlds of Solar System #517 are no longer answering communications. You are World Runner, a cybernetically-enhanced human being who can run miles at an incredible speed without tiring. The galactic council of sentient races has sent you to the first planet of #517 to find out what has happened.

“Right away you discover that all eight planets of the solar system have been invaded by the Serpent Beasts and their minions, ruled by the galactic criminal Drax. Your mission is now clear. Run through all eight worlds, destroying Drax’s minions along the way, until you meet Drax himself. Fortunately your unique ability has manifested itself into a world jumping power."

In September of 1997, the Sony Playstation system released Final Fantasy VII, a game that changed the face of role playing video games, in North America. There has already been much talk and information given on this game on this site. Feel free to click HERE to read a past article I have written about Final Fantasy VII.
