I got this game midway through the PSone/N64 era. The game stock at a local SEARS had the newest titles, but a very small amount of SNES games remained in the corner at a very cheap price. One of those games was Secret of Evermore.

The internet still wasn't what it is now regarding game information and discussion, and all I knew about it was what I could read on magazines (which was very little). Still, I went for it, and really enjoyed it. I agree that the music is great, and the campy storyline is quite entertaining. It wasn't until some years later that I realized the world didn't share that opinion.

I still keep the original cart and the retail box.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
