huh - A Black Falcon - 26th October 2005

VE3D posted download links. I see the first one... 'Realms of the Haunting Demo'. I think, 'what the heck? Isn't that game ... (*thinks*) about eight years old? Why a demo now?' *checks link* ... 1997... (math! 2005 - 1997...)
And I've never played it. :D I just remember reading about it in PC Gamer. Which meant sometime between 1996 and 2001... and I picked the right year.
I just thought it was interesting... game release minutiae is hard to forget! :)

Realms of the Haunting was a pretty cool game back in the day.

I ignored it back then because it looked like an FPS... it was only later that I learned that it actually was part adventure game, but oh well...

It's a little of both. It's actually the first first person adventure. :D (Sorry Retro...)
Metroid Prime still wins the title of first GOOD FPA. Yeah, I wasn't really a fan...

Realms of the Haunting is an adventure game with first person elements, while Metroid Prime is a first person shooter with adventure elements.
