Lesser known but awesome games

[interspark]

the is a Banjo Kazooie game.... ON THE GAME BOY ADVANCE!!!!!!!!! i just saw it in GameStation today and was like WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!??!??!? ive played the first level and it's pretty damn good. I'm glad Gruntilda still speaks in couplets (unlike in Banjo Tooie, *grumblegrumblegrumble*)

Tombi (or Tomba depending on where you live), an amazing ps1 game. Please, somebody tell me they have played it. Please?

aha! a banjo kazzoie lover if there ever was one! (sorry, never heard of your game) have you ever played BK on the GBA?

Call of Duty 4 was one of the biggest games of all time when it was released on Xbox 360, PS3, DS, and PC.
But is that all it was released on?
I'm talking about Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Reflex edition. On Wii. Still my favorite Wii game (Besides Super Mario Galaxy 2)It has tons of people still playing it online, and it's just awesome.

Croc: Legend Of The Gobbos on PS1.

Tombi (or Tomba depending on where you live), an amazing ps1 game. Please, somebody tell me they have played it. Please?

I have. I never beaten it though...

Same, I only rented it. Awesome though. I need to beat it and find the sequel.

Legend of Dragoon wasn't as popular as FF7 but it was much better

I picked that game up from a pawn shop a few months ago. Havent played it though.

Like others have said, I'm not quite sure if this is obscure enough for this thread, but I pick Elite Beat Agents.

It's a DS rhythm game, I can't figure out how to explain the way you play it. It's actually one of the more difficult rhythm games I've ever played, with some of the last songs on the hardest difficulty being borderline preposterous. It's really fun, though, and the storyline of each song is guaranteed to crack you up.

Spoiler: Just watch this. And imagine that there's a stylus tapping all the notes.

Bladestorm. I love it and still play it often. It's so long as well.

Something like a hundred days (or is it years?) of game time, isn't it?

I liked that game, or atleast the demo, heard from a friend that it gets boring fast though.

Savage 1/2 I don't often hear about, great games imo. As is Natural Selection.

Impossible Creatures
It's an RTS where you make the units in your army by mixing two animals together. So if you need a tank unit you combine a rhino and a lobster, or a stealth unit could be Rat/Hornet. We had an insane amount of fun with this game in lan parties, because everyone's armies were different, every time. Single player was... okay, most of the fun was in the multiplayer.

Summon Night Sword Craft Story 1-2. very few know about it well but they were fantastic

Played couple of times. Really good game indeed, I just wish I could play it some more, never got very far on it.

While we're on the topic, I played Tombi/Tomba 2 as a kid and actually completed it 100%. Really awesome game and just as overlooked as the first one

Rune Factory. Take harvest moon and add in monsters, combat, and Fantasy elements. Its made by the same people who made the original Harvest moon and is just as awesome as it sounds.

Omega Boost, Front Mission 3, Hexen and MDK 1 and 2.

Right, do any of you know of King's Bounty? This was some of the most fun I've had playing a turn based strategy. It's just a fun romp through a mystical land. I loved it so much I even got the Armoured Princess sequel.

Second place to pretty much any space sim. Not all of them were good, but they're so rare nowadays that they're worth their weight in gold.

Landstalker for the Sega Genesis. I have only talked to one other person who has played it. Really, really good Zelda-style action-RPG with a 2.5D isometric view. The box art makes it look pretty generic, which couldn't have helped it commercially.

Speaking of Zelda, both Crystalis and Startropics are two Zelda-style NES games that hardly anyone mentions, and yet I liked them both better than the two NES Zelda games. Crystalis (which had an inferior Gameboy remake) did the whole post-apocalyptic setting before it became too cliche, and Startropics (which has a sequel that I never played) has one of the most unique settings that I have ever seen in a game.

Umjammer Lammy (a Parappa the Rapper spin-off) is another one I enjoyed a lot. Also, Ape Escape. Both for the PS1.

Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy

It just has so many good mechanic ideas, and it's very good considering it's on the xbox original.

Fuck me, I totally forgot about that!

It was surprisingly good actually.

Shadows of Darkness for the PS2 was a great time traveling game that had you solving the mystery of your own death and did it damn well.

One of the best NES games ever was Maniac Mansion.

I'm going to have to say the legacy of kain series. they used to be very populer, but now they are all but forgoten.

Mischief Makers on the N64 was pretty awesome and it was something different as well. You couldn't tell by looking at the box but this game got really intense and some of the boss fights were the most fun I've ever had.

Spectre (no, I didn't spell it wrong), it's a pretty old computer game with a very simplistic design but it had amazing atmosphere. It's kinda like Battle Tanks but it has a lot of interesting things in it like fighting from under the stage and killer walls that chase you.

There are many I just can't remember too well now.
