Why am I excited for Glover?

I haven’t played Glover since I rented it for the Nintendo 64 more than 20 years ago. So it doesn’t make sense that I’m suddenly excited to play it again just because developer Piko Interactive is releasing it on Steam. And yet here I am on the game’s store page ready to add it to my library.

Glover was a 1998 3D platformer from developer Hasbro Interactive. And because they were so new, 3D platformers stood out on that system. But the game was never great. Even at the time, it garnered — at best — mixed reviews from critics. This is probably why I’ve never gone back to it even using emulation.
