    As the title implies, you can download and play Final Fantasy VIII on any system that runs Steam, for $11.99 (but you could just wait for a sale lol)

    From what Gamespot says

    • Magic Booster: When Magic Booster is used, the player’s inventory of the following spells is increased by 100: Cure, Cura, Curaga, Fire, Fira, Blizzard, Blizzara, Thunder, Thundara, Sleep, Blind, Silence, Berserk, Bio, Esuna, Aero, Confuse, Break, Zombie
    • This feature can be used from the launcher.
    • Chocobo World: The full game released as a separate application for previous versions. It is possible to play “Chocobo World” directly from the launcher after booting up FFVIII and by fulfilling certain specific conditions in the main game you will also be able to synch data between the two games.
    • Steam Achievements: 45 total
    But be warned, I've heard that this version of the game uses the same disliked audio files as the original PC port, rather than the original Playstation release's music. Just look up the difference, to see if that's gonna be an issue for you or not.
