I am so curious about what determines the metrics for MobyGames' most researched. Forever Worlds is a forgotten and poorly received first person adventure from the mid 00s. Was there actually a spike in interest or some bug?

So it's probably not this then if the option doesn't even show up, but this is what it looks like on my screen. But I had to turn the option on. It's really only worth it if you're very aggressive about managing this stuff as you add it to your library.

man Konami really fucked up by never making a Castlevania that looked like this. No wonder the series never found any success

That 2nd game, Pirate Attack, has a really nice story from the designer from two years ago

Sorry Wikipedia, but the guitar is literally the least fascinating part of the cover art on George Harrison’s album Cloud Nine
