This game was so rare back in the day that finding it made me so happy. I spent many nights staying up late during snowstorms and I just felt cozy playing this. There's so much depth to this game that I feel it's one of the best games ever made.
This game holds a place in my heart. I had a lot of fun sitting in the basement playing this on SNES. It was an amazing game for its time and one I would love to see preserved. The varying units with there strengths and weaknesses requiring that you adjust units for different terrain, damage types, travel speed and other factors gave a great set of layers to a game that you didn't often see in the SNES days. With the popularity of the later games in the franchise, see Tactics Ogre: Reborn, I think this game would find an audience with both the nostalgia and new player alike.

Chaos League
Chaos LeagueChaos League is a fantasy-based sports management game developed by Cyanide Studios and published by Digital Jesters. It was released in Europe on 8 August 2004 and later in North America on 8 March 2005. The game is a spin on American football, the violence of the Medieval football with no rules and rugby-style of sports yet set in a fantasy world with teams being made up of fantasy races such as dwarves, elves, orcs and undead, along with the use of magic and other fictional elements during a "match". The tone of the game is satirical with comedic color commentary and adverts for fictional in-game universe products. An official expansion was later released in 2005 bundled with the original, titled Chaos League: Sudden Death that added new features and gameplay tweaks. While not a direct video game adaption, Chaos League bears resemblance to Games Workshop's Blood Bowl tabletop board game, which is also about fantasy sports. Cyanide Studios would later develop the video game version of Blood Bowl in 2009, which itself utilizes certain features from Chaos League.

New to this game is the ability for Link to transform into a Wolf when entering the Twilight. As a wolf, Link can use his senses to solve puzzles and get past obstacles, he can also dig holes to find hearts and rupees.
