I got to play the original on a WonderSwan. I was like 13 at the time. This guy that lived next to me, was a major import freak. He had all flavors of WS so he let me borrow one and Riviera to try one out to see if i was impressed enough to import one. Although the WSC looked cooler, It just wasn't impressive enough compared to the GBA... Although I extremely liked Riviera (i knew kana and a few Kanji at the time so I could make out some of the item names...) and was hoping it would get ported to the GBA. A couple years pass. It released and I don't know it. I receive Nintendo Power and the one that had the TP trailer on it also had a Riviera trailer on it. I flip, try to get it, can't... so i have to settle used... oh well... Riviera is still an awesome title... Long, unrelated story, but yeah, I got to play the original...
