Games you like that nobody remembers

[Ragnorok64]

Ever have a game you like that you know nobody even remembers. There's pretty much no hope of a sequel or even a remake, but even so you like it just the same.

For my it's an old N64 game called Mischief Makers. That game was all kinds of fun. At the time I could only rent it and never got to beat it. Even later when I've tried to emulate it, I always run in into trouble, either it runs too dang slow, or in one case, in a level where you're supposed to run away from a boulder, an emulation glitch made the boulder not appear.

So what are some old game that you guy like that no one remembers.

[Agent Helix]

Outcast.

No one seems to remember that one. Voxels!

[Young Avenger]

Bomberman Hero. It's one best platformers I've played.

[jesse_custer]

Low G Man on NES. Incredible side-scrolling action game.

[Serik]

Outcast.

No one seems to remember that one. Voxels!

For a second I thought you said Outpost, a crappy space colony sim for Sierra. Oh well, one of these days I might find another fan of that perfectly imperfect game :smile:

[Bruce Wayne Jr.]

Astal, for the Sega Saturn.

Outcast.

Amazing voxely graphics and fantastic music, what's not to love? For a second I thought you said Outpost, a crappy space colony sim for Sierra. Oh well, one of these days I might find another fan of that perfectly imperfect game Yes Outpost was a crappy space colony sim, but I seem to remember it being at least slightly entertaining.

Wasn't there an Outpost 2 as well, or did I just imagine that?

[Kid Kamikaze10]

The Bushido Blade series and the Tobal series for Playstation.

It's a shame the creators of these two great series' completely forgot about them, because they were better than their more popular rivals at the time.

IMO

Tobal no.2 > Tekken 1-3, Any MK, Ehrgeiz, Rival Schools, etc.

and

Bushido Blade 1 & 2 >>>>>> Soul Blade/Edge.

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

Okage:The Shadow King

Saga Frontier

Tiny Toons All Stars

Azure Dreams

Rogue Trip

[Black Atom]

GRADIUS!

Tempo (32X)

Bangai-o (Dreamcast)

PN03 (GC)

[Tumbido]

I'd say Parasite Eve, however it seems just unforgotten enought to get a cellphone sequel.... which seems worse to me, really.

[Deep_Sleeper]

I would love to see a re-done Bushido Blade game. That was such a fun game.

Killer Instinct is also one that I thought was cool. The whole ridiculous amounts of combos were so fun. Especially with Cinder.

[Xero Kaiser]

Ranger-X
Beyond Oasis

[Voncaster]

Nightmare on Elm Street (NES)
Four player co-op platforming!!!

Wacky Races (Dreamcast)
Probably the only Mario Kart rip off that equals the original

[Donald M.]

The Sega CD gets a lot of s*** and rightfully so, but there were a few decent game for it.
One of them was Wild Woody (Tied with Dynamite Headdy for the title of most unintentionally inappropriate name for a Sega game.) which was a pretty decent platform about a magical pencil whose powers revolved around drawing helpful objects and erasing enemies and obstacles. Then there was Popful Mail, brought to the States by the late great Working Designs, it was an above-average (especially by Sega CD standards) action-rpg with a wacky, humorous storyline.

Speaking of action-rpgs with humorous storylines, Landstalker was another great game now forgotten.

On the Saturn there were a few good games, most notably for me Three Dirty Dwarves.

[Nosgoth Phantom]

Monster Party for the NES.

[boshobosho]

Maybe some of you remember this, but I'm the only one of my friends who does.
Deja Vu for the NES. But I'm a big Chandler fan.

[Agent Helix]

Maybe some of you remember this, but I'm the only one of my friends who does.
Deja Vu for the NES. But I'm a big Chandler fan.

I remember having to go like eight levels down in the sewers to properly dispose of the gun.

There was another game from the same developer, I think. It was a fantasy adventure. I think it was called Shadowgate, or something similar.

[jesse_custer]

The Bushido Blade series and the Tobal series for Playstation.

Tobal No.1 was fantastic.

[adoggoesmeow]

Monsters in my pocket. (NES)

I also collected the little toy figures when I was a kid.

There was also The Uninvited. Shadowgate was my favorite of the three.

[Deep_Sleeper]

I can't remember if I got the title right, but Jedi Knights II. It was where you could play in first person mode or third person mode. You could do all kinds of cool stuff like force pull and push, force jump, you had access to all these weapons as well as the lightsabre.

Such an awesome game.

[1WEBHEAD]

Power Stone!

[Black Atom]

Maybe some of you remember this, but I'm the only one of my friends who does.
Deja Vu for the NES. But I'm a big Chandler fan.

I remember that and it was a pretty unique game.

Along those lines, Maniac Mansion.

Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight.

That game is awesome. I installed and played through it again not too long.

[StreetFighterRyu]

Home Alone 2 for SNES?

I don't know if anyone remembers it or knows it.

[Sanagi]

I remember that and it was a pretty unique game.

Along those lines, Maniac Mansion.
Especially the first release of the game, before Nintendo removed a scene where you microwave Ed's hamster and Ed kills you.

IIRC, that was the only way to die in the game aside from blowing up the house.

[jessecuster3]

I have always held an affinity towards Stronghold on the PC. You cannot beat building your own castles.

[JCAll]

Adventures of Lolo on the NES.

Quite possibly the greatest series of puzzle games ever made, and if I ever meet two people that have played it my head might explode.

[StreetFighterRyu]

Lemmings. I don't know if many people remember it, but it was great fun.

[Donald M.]

Lemmings. I don't know if many people remember it, but it was great fun.

I'd say a lot of people remember that one. Still, great game though. The first one anyway. The sequel introduced all these Lemmings tribes each with different abilities and it just made the whole thing too complicated.

Simplicity is best with puzzle games.

[jesse_custer]

Does anyone remember Silent Service or Deju Vu on the NES?

[divinebrown]

Adventures of Lolo on the NES.

Quite possibly the greatest series of puzzle games ever made, and if I ever meet two people that have played it my head might explode.

Sorry to go Scanners on you, but my college roommate and I played this together. And yes, it did require both of us to beat it.


My pick is WinBack for the N64. Awesome counter-terrorist game with a unique shooting style. And though none of my friends liked it, I thought the multiplayer was awesome. It actually required stealth and made me feel like a ninja.

[Thamuz]

Playstation's Nightmare Creature's and it's sequel.

NC:1 - Backstory -

The Player either play's as Ignatius Blackward or Nadia Franciscus, who are both hunting the deranged Adam Crowley down. Adam Crowley worship's "The Brotherhood of Hecate", and has released Demon's of all shape's and size's all over London. [this game take's place in the 19th century, London].

NC:2 - Backstory -

It's 1934, and Player's play as Herbert Wallace, a tortured and disturbed test subject Adam Crowley kept locked away for year's. After breaking free from your prison, and hunt down a new, more monstrous breed of Demon's, which appear from nowhere after a hospital explode's and crumble's. It's up to you to defeat the evil that stalked the dark street's of London all those year's ago...


Awesome game's.

[DF2506]

I remember Deja Vu (still have a copy for my old NES. cool game). Also remember Shadowgate and Uninvited. I liked Univented alot, but I could never find it in stores back in the day. Only ever got to rent it. If any of those three games came onto the Wii Virtual Console, I'd get them.

Other cool games you don't hear alot about:

Out of this World, Flashback, Earthbound, Nightshade, Rescue, and Earthworm Jim.

Also: there was a cool PS1 game called Blasto. Neat game.

As far as PC games go, I always liked Space Quest & Kings Quest!

[Deep_Sleeper]

Back in the day, I also liked Earthworm Jim and Vector.

Nightmare Creatures was great. I had no idea they'd made a sequel.

I remember playing the hell out of this for awhile.

[Aubergine~!]

Azure Dreams

Rogue Trip

Q.F.T.

Also, Wild 9 was a brilliant game.

[Serik]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9a/Constructor-pc.jpg/256px-Constructor-pc.jpg

Constructor for the PC. Basically a pre-tycoon era business sim where you develop a neighborhood while dealing with all sorts of seedy characters.

[Matt K]

Alundra- Best Zelda style game even better than Zelda

Sky Oddyssy- Great PS2 flight game

[JCAll]

Sorry to go Scanners on you, but my college roommate and I played this together. And yes, it did require both of us to beat it.

...
*SPLAT*

Actually, that didn't hurt near as much as tearing my hair out over some of the actual game.

[Jack Zodiac]

Out of this World, Flashback

Those are, to this day, two of my all-time favorite games, and the only two reasons I keep my Genesis around.

Also, one of the best games ever? "A Boy and His Blob." They need to remake that for the Wii.

[Wesley Dodds]

Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight.

That game is awesome. I installed and played through it again not too long.

I loved that game too. If I didn't have Vista 64-bit I'd have it on my laptop... It was a lot better if you played with the settings though -- cutting limbs off stormtroopers. I had a spawn Mara Jade command mapped to a key -- someone took the skin and voice samples from another Star Wars game.

[jesse_custer]

We should all be ashamed that we forgot:

3-D Worldrunner

[Dreadstar]

A PC game from the early days of PCs, 25 years ago.

Rogue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_(computer_game))

[Dreadstar]

I was going to add Temple of Apshai, but that one I'm pretty sure people remember.

Well, at least anyone who was around back then, anyway.

[Agent Helix]

This was back when you played games on giant basalt tablets, right?

[Dreadstar]

Are you kidding, the graphics of a basalt tablet were far superior.

[adoggoesmeow]

Also, one of the best games ever? "A Boy and His Blob." They need to remake that for the Wii.

Is that the one were you had to give the glob of poop jelly beans?

[IronStarks]

The Wargames game that came out for the PS1 when i was about 12

[Young Avenger]

ActRaiser. Great action/sim game. I would love to see a new game in this series

[comicstar100]

Virtual On for the Sega Saturn, I loved that game. Also Die Hard Arcade is another favorite of mine that nobody seems to know.

[Jared]

General Chaos on the Genesis. A quasi RTS, where you can direct a squad of five, or directly control two commadoes that you switch between. Not very deep, but loads of fun.

Dragonforce for the Sega Saturn. Most people who played it remember it, but most people never heard of it.

The Guardian Legend for NES was pretty wild.

[Jeremi]

Trap Runner on PS1 it seems like I’m the only one who’d played it. Oh and how could I forget Koudelka on PS1. Has anyone else played either of these?

[kimsonsolutions]

buzzy on megadrive

i spent hours on this game

[Ragnorok64]

Trap Runner on PS1 it seems like I’m the only one who’d played it...

I rented it once back in the day, it was released as Trap Gunner here. Was kinda fun, in the old NES Spy vs Spy way.

Even though the game play was a tad repetitive I enjoyed it. I thought the characters were awesome at the time as well.

[kimsonsolutions]

oh i just remember this one : fear effect (http://uk.gamespot.com/ps/adventure/feareffect/index.html?q=Fear+Effect)

this game was AMAZING and i think i still have it somewhere home :biggrin:

[GozertheGozarian]

The gold box series of AD&D games by SSI.

[socool8520]

I liked ActRaiser for the NES. It was the perfect blend of side-scroll adventure and then semi-Sims. None of my friends seemed to have ever played it though. they did make another one but it was only the 2-D action which sucked

[Neticule]

My favorite game of all time is tribes 2, most people have no clue what it is :P I musta played that for 5,000 hours lol
