Hello! I've been a fan of the Legends games since the early 2000's after getting a second-hand Playstation and borrowing a friends copies. They've stuck with me ever since and obviously I've never found anything that manages to hit that amazing balance of fun storytelling, mysterious atmosphere, and intuitive gameplay.
I've also poked around Legends Station and these forums on and off since around 2007? It's hard to say for sure, but I'd always been too nervous as a young person on the internet to make an account or anything like that. I stepped away from this fandom in a big way after 2011, for reasons I'm sure don't need any explanation.
The music especially has been a permanent fixture in my mind and convinced me to look back at these games I once loved. Turns out I still do, Capcom aside, and it did not take very much to rekindle my passion for the games that did get released. I'm pleased Legends Station and these forums are still around, especially now. It's great to have a place to share in Legends discussion and artwork.

Welcome to MMLS finally. Better late than never indeed...you may have been lurking as far back as the tail end of fAB's regime! Those games do hold up well, don't they? I think Legends 1 in particular makes the most out of what you can get out of one Playstation disc.

Ahaha, it's awesome to have you! Legends is the kind of thing that brings people together, no matter how much time has passed. It's always wonderful to have new... old... hm, just right blood in the Station .

Definitely! I think so much of its staying power is in the art direction. They're so bold and readable, even literally today. Legends is absolutely pushing early CD tech to its limit even after cutting some of the more ambitious concept art ideas from the final project.

The art direction is one of the primary reasons why it stuck in my head for so long. It feels so... accessible haha. Dangit, you make me want to boot it up again, though my PSX has long since bitten the dust. I've still got Dash 1 and 2 on the PSP, so I might go with that = v =
