Old little known games

[megaraccoon]

Anyone know any old small time games? like metal fatigue which although were good didn't get the publicity they deserved i bring this up cuz i just found terrapods for the zx spectrum and i had to search the net for over an hour to find any mention of it. so if you know of any such games please share.

80s & early 90s:

Rocky's Boots (basic wiring + gadgets)
Robot Odyssey (advanced wiring + city to explore)
Alley Cat (minigame collection)
Digger (you can get Digger HD on PSN, but I'm referring to the original)
Jetpack (early physics-based platformer)
Paganitzu (top-down puzzle-exploration)
ZZT (the Little Big Planet of it's day)
Robomaze 2 (difficult but fun platformer)
Hexxagon (fun board game with amusing animations)
Captain Comic (platformer / adventure game, would be called a Metroidvania nowadays)
Hugo's House of Horror (classic adventure game)
Ken's Labyrinth (early FPS/adventure game by Ken Silverman, the guy who went on to make the engine for Duke Nukem 3D)
VGA Miner (similar to a 2D Minecraft but a million times harder and more random)
Stunt Island (vehicle simulation + video recording and editing + vehicular missions = unique game)
Quarantine (Doom + Crazy Taxi)
Super Solvers Ancient Empires (a hardcore platform-puzzler disguised as "educational")

The Dragon's lair Nes game.

Of course, no one played that with good reason.
It was fucking awful.

The absolute worst game I've ever played. (and that includes superman 64)
