The cover alone (U.S version) is what enticed me to buy it at Media Play. The $20 price point for a game that's 12-15 hours long was huge factor as well. You never saw something like that back then, and is even rarer nowadays. Here we have a Duke Nukem clone that's better than the Duke himself. Eventually Sam went through several redesigns and became his own character, but that was good enough for me.
