Allow me:
IJI
Tyrian
Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2
MDK
Sacrifice
Messiah
Populous 3 The Begging
Psychonauts
Thunder Force IV
Bastion
The Binding Of Isaac
Legacy Of Kain (i think that series just survived because it was relesed with lots of marketing and there was plenty of Vampire movies in the 90's that many fangirl needed to make Yaio off, so LoK came handy)
Heroes 3 Of Might And Magic (and it would be on this list if it wasnt for the "Wake of The Gods" Mod that show me that people not only play but also improved the game with so munch innovation that is jawbreaking)
And of course, Requiem: The Avenging Angel. This fucking game is so bugged up his has that not even Charlie Brooker from Screenwipe gave a fair review of it (because he didnt fucking play it, otherwise he would have gone in "the Mean British Mode" that we all love)
Nobody bloody remember this games and it seems that no one ever played them back then either. You did think that these games made in the so called "Golden Age of Gaming" would have more influence (Like the amazing voice acting, body language and the dual world puzzle solving in a 3D platformer that was the first that didnt suck in Legacy Of Kain)

hogs of war for the ps1 is a game i played recently and scaler for the ps2 not sure if that game is that well known though
I loved the Megaman Battle Network series and occasionally play Network Transmission, The moment I saw a 2D sidescroller set in the MMBN universe, I just had to have it and even now, 8 or so years after, I still enjoy playing it from time to time.Belated said:
And thanks for the Evil Zone mention, forgot about that game! Or rather, I had been looking for that name for a few weeks.
Although not playing at the moment, I popped it in my PS2 the week before christmas just to relive some childhood memories and bask in some good ol' fashioned nostalgia.Shanicus said:
An amazing game and one I, for some reason or another, end up playing during the winter months. I spent my childhood playing that game and trying to unlock all the cool digimon, really a fun game.ExplosionProofTaco said:
As for the game I'm currently playing, don't ask me why, Diver's Dream on my PSX.
EDF: Insect Armageddon, wickedly insane fun bug/bot/monster shooter, but so far as I know, my brother and I are the only two to have bought it
DEFCON for PC. It's quite unique and enjoyable. Killing Floor is reasonably popular, so not so much that.
FEAR 3 for PC. Trying to test out the Co-op and multiplayer for my review and ain't getting squat.

Tyrian, anyone heard of that?
It's a wonderful shoot-em-up flying game from the DOS era. Now with OpenTyrian it can be played on an HD monitor without you being able to count the individual pixels, and after 15 years it's still as addictive as all hell.
Anyone wanting to play it can download OpenTyrian here: http://code.google.com/p/opentyrian/

Tyrian is the best Vertical Shooter in the world next to Thunder Force IV except better. Its to Vertical Shooters what Painkiller is to First Person Shooters, its FUN..............and yet no one seemed to notice, no one seemed to reach to the title of "Best Vertical Shooter of All Times"Erik Vroon said:
In fact most of the games on my list seems the kind of game that will lead the next generation of games to always try to surpass it but people just forgot just for a few minutes later ***** about that they dont have money for the next games that are about to be released. How about looking the fuck back?? the best games have been already made, there is no hurry.
Recently I've been playing Heros of Might and Magic 2. I doubt anyone is playing this gem anymore. In truth, I'm really bad at it, but it's just so much fun and I like the tactical side of it.
a friend of mine still plays it but then again he is a idiot.DeadSp8s said:
OT
any COD before MW2 from what I gathered from people COD fans are quick to move to the newer game resulting in the old games,s server getting abandoned,save for the few people who want to keep playing or don,t want to buy the new COD.
I'd LIKE to say Xenoblade Chronicles, but come April, every dang JRPG fan worth his oversided sword and pointy hair will be playing it, so it won't really count as a game that nobody else is playing.
Right now?
EUROPEANS.
Y U NO PLAY XENOBLADE!?

LSD on the PSX.
Michigan: Report from Hell on PS2 (well, maybe they're playing it in Japan)
Killer7 on GCN.
Terranigma on SNES (Again, maybe in Japan, or possibly Europe)
Penumbra: Overture on PC.
Oh, and for the record I own a copy of Blue Stinger, that game is delightfully cheesy and plays like an extreme Resident Evil. I loved the horror games on the Dreamcast, which reminds me of another one for this list you should probably check out:
Illbleed on DC.

I'm playing that game... I just find it pretty boring, to be honest. Too much in common with NSMBW - right down to getting "bubblefied" when you die. It's a beautiful game (visually at least. I'm not fond of the audio), and a solid platformer, but that's all it is - a solid platformer. It really doesn't bring much new to the table, which is a shame. NSMBW brought in a solid (if frustrating) multiplayer aspect, Donkey Kong Country Returns had amazing level design with dynamic environments, Kirby's Return to Dreamland took the copy ability to the next level... it's not that Rayman Origins is a BAD game, because it's not at all, it's just after those three titles I'm kinda platformed out, and Origins doesn't do enough to get me excited again. You could put that more down to bad timing that anything else though.Snotnarok said:

What am I playing at the moment? Skyrim... No one has ever heard of Skyrim...

Fine, Sacred: Underworld isn't bad (though not overly obscure either I guess). It's a 2d isometric-y hack and slash much like Diablo 2. I will be blasphemous and say I prefer Sacred.
No one I know seems to have ever played the Shadow Hearts series. It's too bad. It was an awesome franchise that will sadly probably never see another installment.
