Those haunting strums and the unearthly cry of the night, tugging your heart back to Tristram to stay, just for a while.

This game called NOX eluded me for 20 years! Back in the days after just buying a Voodoo card and feeling invincible, this game came out requiring 2MB of VRAM, while my poor S3 card only had 1MB, and the Voodoo couldn’t do anything to help. This game got stuck in my mind ever since🫠

I'm sure you remember well how your fave game ended! That epic conclusion to the multiple hours-long quest, or the long and demanding campaign you barely managed to beat. But what about games that were great, and had f-you kind of endings?
