I didn't play it, but I like sharing the story.
I really wanted Doom on SNES as a kid. I remember Saturday coming and checking the mail while my mom was asleep. Nintendo Power had come, so I opened it up to a pretty big spread on Doom. I was never really shocked by violence before, or grossed out or anything, but something told me that I shouldn't have the game and that it was too grown up for me (I was a weird 6 year old).
When my mom woke up, she asked if I still wanted to go to Toys R Us to get Doom, and I showed her the pictures in the magazine. She said I could get a different game if I wanted. So we went to Toys R Us, and I wound up getting Illusion of Gaia because it came with a shirt and it looked a bit like A Link to the Past.
Illusion of Gaia is in my Top 3 SNES games and Top 10 of all time, and all because I though Doom was too violent for me. It got me interested in exploring the world and traveling. Angkor Wat is on my bucket list for travel destinations because of this game.
