Forgotten games that no one talks about anymore.

Well there you go... proof that Bing is trash! (or that my description of the game is ass lol).

But nah it was an oldie that came out during the early 2000s if I recall correctly.

yeah bing can't find it 😭
too niche most likely for the ai to recognise, all it gives me is subreddit links for finding games.

Maybe this is actually a good place to ask but does anyone remember a PC game from yesteryear in which you'd take on aspects/traits from enemies you kill? It was a third person shooter with platforming and RPG mechanics if I call correctly. A similar visual style to something like Sacrifice (I think) where your main character looks like/is an alien himself. Evolve something? It's been bugging me for ages.
Evolva?

A better Diablo.

Fucking masterpiece.

Pretty good FFVII clone.

Drakan_-_Order_of_the_Flame_Coverart.png


Awesome and underrated.

Dark Souls ancestors. One of the best games in history.


I could go on for pages, but I'm kind hearted and I'll spare you guys.

Crazy to think how well Oni turned out considering Bungie had to rush it in the end and cut features to get it out before the Microsoft acquisition went through :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Two solid sports games that I liked but can't seem to find anyone who has actually played them.

Trade games are a genre of games that seems to have been relegated to a few random indie releases once in a while. Where you have a small city and build it up by trading and producing goods. Patrician III is the best one of the bunch, and while it had its glory days back in the day, it's a franchise and sub-genre I miss. That said, trade games are pretty big on mobile. But who gives a shit about mobile.

Aggressive Inline was pretty good (y) Was really overlooked in the whole extreme sports genre though like you say

Nobody talks about Parasite Eve 1 and 2 anymore. The passage of Time and the crapshow that was 3rd birthday ruined the franchise.
If no remake of the first two games is in order, then I would take a dual pack remastering of the first two games as a minimum.

I remember playing Heretic 2 as a kid. Complete departure from the other games in the series



Wonder why they don't sell it on GOG or anywhere else.

So, they turned the 1st person shooter (like Doom) into a 3rd person action game? Looks kind of ass. Prefer the first's style of gameplay.

Skyroads is a DOS game I stumbled on as a kid via abandonware sites. It's so much fun and some of the music was really great. I wish GOG would give it the DOS-BOX treatment.








I actually mention it quite a bit on Gaf but Tyrian is a shmup masterpiece. It's more like baby's first shmup because it's so forgiving but man, the music, gameplay, upgrade system, graphics, etc. It's really is a masterpiece and is free on GOG, it was one of the first games on that platform, so cool.

There's so many retro arcade games which have been forgotten about that deserve a sequel.

Altered beast
Golden axe

Those two as 3D action adventure games would be fantastic.

Rise of the Triad is a classic.

They got a server running for the original Hellgate London.

I got a fight stick a short time ago to play some Wing Commander 3.
You can get the games on gog or eXoDOS. eXoDOS has better sound support for the early games.

Still my favorite Rare game ever (and imo the best Kart Racer ever), hoping Microsoft/Nintendo can work out a deal to get this playable on Switch (and Xbox if possible but seems unlikely with Diddy Kong being in it)
This just made me think what if they put tracks from Diddy Kong Racing in MK8 DLC , they could do that right?
