Early EGM had a huge chunk of their mags dedicated to previewing Japanese imports well ahead of their localization dates (if they even get localized at all). It was cool seeing that stuff and learning about Japan's gaming scene in a time when information resources were extremely limited, but I had zero chance of ever playing these as a kid. Thank god for the internet.

Obviously Jim wasn't much in hindsight, but he was a big deal at the time. Those graphics and animations weren't the norm for video games in 1994, in some ways he represented the pinnacle of 16-bit pixel art. Same reason why DKC was treated as a big deal, and why everybody scrambled to get their hands on CG rendering machines/software even if they weren't making 3D games.
