... the videogame, that is. I take a look at a little known PS1 title that has garnered somewhat of a cult following, and influences modern titles Child of Eden and Journey more than you may think.

I never liked sports games, but I've always made an exception for those involving Mario. Unfortunately, Mario Sports Mix is an exception to that exception. The game lacks the depth of a full sports title and the simple fun of mini-games.
