Blast from the Past Wild ARMs by Media.Vision Wild ARMs is an RPG for the original PlayStation by Japanese developer Media.Vision. I have a lot of nostalgia for this title, as it was one of the first games I every played on the PS1.

Wild ARMs follows the classic tale of a boy who is an outcast and cannot find his place in the world.

Sometimes it’s good to reflect back on our gaming roots, and other times we can sit and wonder “Why don’t they make games like that anymore?
