I really liked Ico and Giants: Citizen Kabuto, they seemed to be largely overlooked. Does anyone remember a game called Severence: Blade of Darkness?...that game was awesome.
Don't know if I said this already, but Giants: CK was a funny game with an interesting if not entirely successful play style. A pity they haven't made G:CK 2, cus I think they were onto something.

Actually, tell a lie, Armed and Dangerous was pretty much G:CK 2, although I missed the base building elements, heh, but the humour was still there.

Evil Genius- a kind of Dungeon Keeper Remake, but you play the kind of guy who's normally the villain in James Bond Movies, build your own secret Hideout and try to take over the World.
Ah, Evil Genius - a wonderful idea, with a reasonable execution.

I remember DIG. I never liked the whole "point and click" thing but that one was beautifully done. Oh, and "Little Big Adventure" love x2...
Do you mean The Dig, by Lucasarts? That was a fantastic game. They all were, like the poster above me says.
I believe I do indeed mean "The Dig"! Lucasarts was one of the great games companies before it sold out and the most talented developers left to start their own company and the remainder started doing endless Star Wars remakes...
So sad, but so true...
Indeed, the fall of LucasArts was a horrible shame, as Yahtzee implied once (in his Pyschonaunts review, I think). The clever, smart, fun games from them were great.

Operation Flashpoint by Codemasers.. That was a grand and epic game. Complete with the best editor ever made

Indeed, Flashpoint was a good game, although it had a fair few faults. Abit like Red Orchestra in that it treated realism above fun/gameplay, although no-where near as bad as Red Orchestra and actually fun to play.

I'm curious as to whether anyone else here has played Magical Starsign. (If you haven't, don't, unless you're a borderline suicidal desperately looking for one last thing to push you over the edge...)

Also, did anyone besides me ever even touch the GBC Pokemon TCG? I know that's horrible and sad and pathetic, but seeing as I've never met anyone else who played it, I still wonder.:p

I was sure I was the only person I knew who had or had played Wild Arms but one of my friends at uni saw it in my games collection and demanded to see the opening sequence. I love that opening sequence. Sergio Leone, very much so.

Devil Dice and the sequel Bombastic, which is much much better.

Musashi: Samurai Legend - no one knows what the hell I'm talking about. I still play it today! I'm waiting on a sequel, GODDAMMIT!

Spectral VS Generation - I LIKED IT. It was cheap and cheerful and was really only worth the eight quid I paid for it but it was eight quid, what do you expect? GTA5? No. Exactly. Definitely worth a quick punt.

Mr Domino (or NO ONE CAN STOP MR DOMINO!) - I loved this when it first came out... now I'm a little perplexed as to why it takes me six or seven goes to get past the first level again.

Granstream Saga - I coulda sat on a typewriter and written a better story but it was a charming little RPG, albeit in a slightly Yaroze kinda way (anyone remember the Yaroze?! Yaroze demos on the OPSM demo discs!!!! My God, that's taking me back...)

Bloody Roar - I don't know ANYONE that's heard of it. The first one absolutely rocked. The later ones not so much.

Also, I played Future Cop LAPD! I found it for £3.99 in Game's Pre-Owned section and I HAD TO HAVE IT. It's another hidden gem that everyone should play. I remember playing the demo level for months cos I loved it that much. I used to time myself on that one level alone and when I got the game about six years later, I totally outdid my time on that level cos I remember where everything was, where the enemies were and how to save all my ammo. How sad does that make me?

That's rhetorical, by the way. SHUSH.

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father. To this day, I still ask my wife in his goofy 'good old boy' voice, "Tell me about yourself".

Isn't that the game where one of the fighters changes into a rabbit?

Raid on Bungling Bay, an old Broderbund NES game. My grandparents gave it to me for Christmas. Years later IGN did a feature wherein they had developers comment on some of their earliest games, and the lead designer didn't even recognize it. It was so obscure, I'm pretty sure it showed up in Strongbad's disk case in one episode.

Obscurity aside, it was also one of the worst games I've ever owned. Uncle-rapingly bad.

Shining Force II-- Sword of Hajya.

And the very concept of the GAME COM-- I loved it, which foreshadows my immense love of the DS.

Oh how I loved this game. Unfortunately I know nothing about the voice, because I didn`t have the CD version (yes kids, back in ye olden days you had to buy the deluxe Compact Disc version and actually have a drive to play it on to hear the dialogue).


As for me - `Darklands`. An RPG by the legendary-yet-now-defunct Microprose Studios, taking place in medieval Germany, with all the folklore and Christian beliefs. Imagine that instead of casting spells you pray to actual saints for guidance or help. Or instead of fighting some nameless evil you fight Satan, the man himself. It was something different. The game is full of bugs, but it`s worth overlooking them. I think it`s become legally downloadable now, I recommend you try it, if you have the patience.
