wonder if this game is available on mac. this would be one game i would want to play... i searched but looks like the only way to play would be use Parallels/Crossovers.

I have to agree this game was so good, its a shame they don't make game that ooze personality and ambiance like this anymore.

I remember starting a second game and creating a character i literally spent 3 hours rolling the dice and counting totals for the best possible combination. I still have my copy

Only ever played the second one but WOOOW it was amazing. They just don't make RPGS as awesome as that anymore :(

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons
