Anachronox (Ah-Nak-Crow-Nox created from anachronism and noxious) is a 2001 third-person role-playing video game produced by Tom Hall and the Dallas Ion Storm games studio. It offers gameplay in the style of older role-playing video games, such as Chrono Trigger and the Final Fantasy series. The game was built with a heavily modified version of the Quake II engine, rewritten chiefly to allow a wider color palette, emotive animations and facial expressions, and better lighting, particle, and camera effects.
The game features a science fiction story influenced by cyberpunk, film noir, and quirky humor.The story begins as down-and-out private investigator Sylvester "Sly Boots" Bucelli looks for work in the slums of Anachronox, an alien planet near the hub of the galaxy's space-lanes. He travels to other planets and, amassing an unlikely group of friends, unravels a mystery that threatens the existence of the universe.

Anachronox is one of my , if not most favorite game I've ever played, it's a turn style rpg combat game like Final Fantasy, set to an entirely different tone from the usual games on the 2000's, surely if you're into gaming you should of know Ion Storm, Tom Hall ... Commander Keen? A classic! This game is a lost gem lost within the 90's era of FPS games. For only 6 dollars, how could not at least try it out? If you're unable to do so, I'll be giving out copies next month!
inb4 "What does this have to do with SCG" , where do you think I got the nickname "Rowdy" from? :P
