Famicom Wars had existed in Japan since 1988, but the West had never gotten a taste of it until this gem from Intelligent Systems. It launched in the United States on September 10, 2001 — the attacks the very next day delayed its arrival in Europe and stalled its Japanese debut for years. A cruel irony for a game that turned warfare into bright-colored tactics, superpowered COs, and perfect couch-session strategy.
