10 Video Games You Didn't Realise Are Over 20 Years Old

Maybe not the best Final Fantasy, it's a pretty close three horse race between VI, VII or IX, but certainly the most remembered and iconic game in the long running, non-sequential series. Final Fantasy VII was released in January 1997, that's right not only can Final Fantasy buy cigarettes but it's been able to for a few years now.

With a timeless, albeit convoluted, story about industrialisation and environmentalism, the game is celebrated for its gameplay, memorable boss battles, addictive side quests and amazing antagonist.

It's interesting to look back at VII and realise that Final Fantasy's first 3-D game was considered a visual revolution, it was a darker more polygon time remember. VII's gameplay still holds up 20 years after its birth and moments of the story can still bring up strong emotions of joy, sorrow and anger amongst its many fans (especially those who spent all that time levelling up Aerith) (spoilers).

Its popularity is just as strong today as when it was initially released, with a remake presumably around the corner finally answering the demands of the fanbase who have wanted one since the Popeye armed figures became out-of-date.
