A game no one seems to remember. O_O

[SkillZombie]

I've actually got quite a few. If you want to try em, pick them up as soon as you can.
1. Threads of Fate

One of my favorite RPGs of all time. The graphics, music and characters grasped my attention. Playing as both Rue (a warrior and shapeshifter) and Mint (a magician with a variety of spell types) really made me love RPGs in the first place. If you haven't played it, you will not be disappointed!

2. Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie

Possibly the epitome of 3D platforming at its best. The only 3D platformer that could come close IMO was Super Mario Bros. 64 and even then that's a close second. The controls were slick, the graphics were eye-popping for the time and the characters were really memorable. Play it if you haven't.

3. Ikaruga

A truly great arcade-style shooter. How anyone could miss it is a crying shame. Its almost up there with Gradius and Lifeforce. If your a fan of scrolling shooters, I guarantee you give it a shot.

4. Brave Fencer Musashi

Two words: Frickin' awesome. Combining various sword moves in addition to the ability to absorb the powers of your enemies really mixed up combat and kept everything fresh. The overall presentation is bound to make you wanna finish playing this game. Give it a go.

5. Wild 9

I was shocked to find that almost no one remembered this game. The first time I played it was on one of those old PS1 game demo discs that Pizza Hut gave away as a promotion. Needless to say, I went and bought the full version and I can say it was pretty good. Not the best game I played but definitely a memorable experience.

6. Xmen: Mutant Academy 2

Another game I bought because of its demo, it really is a very deep fighting game that really makes you want to actively seek out people to show it to. This is what Xmen vs. Street Fighter should have been like, with tighter controls and a better presentation.

7. Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey
http://laputanmachine.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/oddworld_abes_oddysee.jpg
People seem to remember Abe's Exodus more than this one. This game is more about trial and error rather than just jumping in. Each and every situation requires a bit of problem solving and thinking outside the box to get around that will really make you feel like accomplishing something. A good platformer in of itself.

8. SSX3

The game that made me almost forget about most other snowboarding games. With all the over-the-top moves as well as the many different venues, characters and customization sucked up hours of my time for that game and I can it was time well spent.

9. Soul Blade
http://www.romulation.net/files/screenshots/roms/PSX/24860/s13d9e79848827958b117ade48a627330.jpg
The game that actually started the Soul Calibur series.
So those are the four I could pick, mainly since there are so many I could choose from, but this list is getting way too long.

 

[GaijinAndrew]

Alien Logic: Skyrealms of Jorune... pretty old action/rpg-ish game.

 

[SwimmingRock]

Chaos Legion.

The only JRPG I ever loved.

Wow. Seriously, wow. I played this game and liked it, but had mostly forgotten about it until now. I have never heard this game come up in conversation before and almost all of my friends are gamers. Definitely underrated as it had a pretty cool mechanic with the Legions. The only odd bit was that beating it as the supposedly super-powerful main character allowed you to play as the random girl with guns and she was way better.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1&2
I haven't seen one person here mention it except me.

Also, War of the Monsters.

 

[Byr0m]

Dark Cloud - PS2

Haven't played the second but the first one was just one hell of a time sink, a long campaign with:

Spoiler

An 100 floor dungeon which took ages and was really hard but was fairly rewarding at the end of it and gave you the best weapon in the game for the main character

Loads of little easter eggs as well, some of which were useful to the game.

The only bad thing I remember about it was the music loops in various areas which started to grate on you when you were stuck on a specific dungeon.

 

[Byr0m]

Rise of Nations. Such an underated RTS. It might even be my allt ime favorite game. But no one else cares.

This as well, both RoN and RoN: RoL are excellent games, both different 'genres of RTS' but easy to get into, well balanced and has superb graphics for a game released in 2002/3 even today

 

[Keppler]

I've never met anybody else who's played/owns

Spoiler: Blast Corps

 

[Aidinthel]

Majesty and Majesty 2, though they were doomed to obscurity from the start.

 

[Ocelano]

Primal. I can't remember if it was any good, though.

Also, Power Stone, which was good. So much crazy fun!

I loved primal That was the game that got me started actually ordering games instead of just grabbing what I saw in town

Mine Is only a halfa and probably doesn't belong here as I have heard it mentioned many times on the escapist but the only people I have met who have even heard of it is the one who put me onto it and the guy that I kind of dragged in. It's Disgaea this game had a pathetically short australian release and it's sequels weren't out here for very long either I still dont have a copy of the original except for from psn I got thew second one from a second hand shop and the third one I purchased from an american store the upshot of which being that I can not use any DLC From PSN Only game updates.

 

[Cmichaels]

True crime, streets of LA I think most of heard of it, but I'm 15 and many of my friends haven't.

If that's the game where your the black cop, used to be my favorite game for a long long time.

 

[Ocelano]

Majesty and Majesty 2, though they were doomed to obscurity from the start.

Played the first own the second although get my but handed to me every time. Do love the curse of stupidity level
"Good Sir Drebin may we have another ride on the catapult ... Please"

 

[Weslebear]

Gotcha Force

Only people I have told about this game know about it.

To be honest I have literally no clue how I ended up with a copy 0_0 but it's gotta be one of if not the best game I've ever played just for the pure fun value! =D.

 

[Reveras]

Sacrifice - 3rd person game which Overlord blatantly ripped off only that Sacrifice had a unique gameplay style (u had to think what mobs u were summoning to aid u and u grew in power)

Rage of mages - seriously ? no one ? look it up embrions!

 

[Kafloobop]

I've only met like 3 other people that have played Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.

 

[MikailCaboose]

Populous: The Beginning. I had fun with it, even if the scaling was a little...erm...Old British/European style (I can't remember where it was all used but I know England used to do it).

 

[Keppler]

Sacrifice - 3rd person game which Overlord blatantly ripped off only that Sacrifice had a unique gameplay style (u had to think what mobs u were summoning to aid u and u grew in power)

I had Sacrifice. It was fun but always struck me as pretty glitchy.

Populous: The Beginning. I had fun with it, even if the scaling was a little...erm...Old British/European style (I can't remember where it was all used but I know England used to do it).

And I loved Populous: The Beginning. Summoning a volcano in the middle of another tribe's town was one of life's little joys.

 

[Reveras]

Oh and I remembered a few others: Aquanox, Metal Fatigue, NoX, Prehistoric 2, Cossacks series.

 

[GRocci]

Rage of mages - seriously ? no one ? look it up embrions!

someone else has heard/played sacrifice?! crazy, while the game definitely wasn't without it's faults, it really was totally different and unique, something that I loved about it. In addition to the sense of humor it had

 

[Noogai]

can you say Gundam Battle Assault?

I still have that =D One of the best fighting games ever
OT: Seventh Cross Evolution, a great game for the dreamcast in which you made the ultimate creature out of different body parts, traveled through an open world and killed increasingly tough enemies, an awesome RPG...

 

[Frog_Girl]

Athena for the NES, However I'm not sure anyone knew about it when it came out.
