It's the grudgematch of the century. Video Gamer X pits two RPG/Adventure games head-to-head in an ultimate face-off. It's RPG WWIII. In the left corner we have a game that has recaptured the Playstation from iminent doom, set new standard for RPG's and showed the world a Squaresoft epic adventure, (Drumroll...) Final Fantasy VII. And in the right corner we have a game that will set the standard for 3-D RPG's, hails from a long saga of great games, and who's hero is second-to-none in popularity, (Fanfare) Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. Who will be on top? Who will deliver the crushing blow? I'll let you be the judge. This section is just a whimsical look at two masterpieces that perhaps need no comparison because they do what their meant to do; bring enjoyment and fun to millions.
