Deathrow on Xbox (1) was great. Kind of like how I imagined Speedball should have been translated to 3D. I never see it mentioned anywhere in any context.

Dino Crisis 1 and 2.
Hell almost anything from capcom that they try to bury as dead.

nethack is my favorite dark souls clone
Cliffhanger ending makes the lack of a sequel worse. Great game though.
LOVED this game. Definitely deserved better praise than it got.

Colony Wars
Ultima VII (whenever someone asks what's the greatest RPG of all time, the answer is not Chrono Trigger, Fallout, Zelda, goddamn Diablo (!), Elder Scrolls or some other bullcrap, it's Ultima freakin' VII)*
Star Trek: A Final Unity
Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri
Bio Forge
BTW these are games I adore immensely too

which is I think the first 3d adventure game but it's brilliant because it's novel
in its simplicity

I still play the original about once a week. Still better than source version.
Rival Schools
Project Justice
Capcom Y U NO GIVE US SEQUEL?
What an underrated game. And the soundtrack ROCKS.
I freaking loved that game! But I thought it was called Rival Schools.

Yeah, Brave Fencer Musashi was great, and indeed better than FF8

I played a lot of bargain bin PC games when I was a kid:
And this really cool F-Zero esque old ass game that I can't remember the name of.

and to go a little more old school:
It may be because I was pretty young when I played it, but The Bouncer was the definition of fun when it came out for me and my friends. I had to of beaten that game 30+ times, and I still don't think I saw all of the different endings! No idea wtf happened to it though
ah hell yeah. my first ps2 game. bought the console used.
because of quoting i don´t know if it was posted yet :

Freedom Fighters
Unreal Championship
Shadowrun(360) - seriously this game should have gotten a sequel that sold at $40 and received some post launch DLC maps. I don't care if it "wasn't Shadowrun," it was a sick game.
Dark Cloud
F-Zero
TimeSplitters

Its awesome that there is someone else out there who loved those games as much as I did. I honestly feel like I'm 5 years old again the second I hear that theme from the 1st game. Thanks for the nostalgia

I'm absolutely down with Crimson Skies - I can't believe that it didn't get a sequel for the 360! And Revenge of Shinobi is one of my favorite games ever - I still play it frequently.
These are two other of my all-time Genesis favorites that have sadly been lost to the mists of indifference:
Fast and furious proto-RTS with Fog of War:
And a thousand ways to die in a cartridge - unforgiving, brutal and damned hard... but oh so cool:
And this one is sadly overshadowed by it's console and contemporary brethren, though it's arguably a better game than most of them, and one of the very best on the GameBoy:

The game was just a ton of fun to play and goes down as one of my favorite Genesis games. The game controls perfectly and the feel of gravity is just right. Sub-Terrania would be a perfect fit for one of the downloadable platforms.

The Suffering is one of my favorite survival horror games, despite being more shooty than horrory.
God did I love this game; wish they brought something similar back for this gen.

Yeah, there are still people playing this, but compared to bigger MMOs like WoW, this game was pretty much forgotten about.
The funny thing, is it did what every other MMO forgets. It was actually a MMO. NO instances, no battlegrounds, no zones. Completely HUGE seamless world filled with tons of memorable locations, towns, and mobs. Your character could be built in ANYWAY you wanted. You could allocate every point of XP earned into any part of your character. You could run faster, jump higher, etc. You could scale any mountain, you could find completely random dungeons out in the middle of nowhere. You could wear any kind of armor/items you wanted.
And the very very best part. There were NO quests. Town criers would tell you rumors of things, and it was up to the community to find them. Everything was always new and fresh, and exploration had a sense of accomplishment and wonder.
The MMOs of today are complete garbage in comparison. Instanced zoned bullshit where people with the most time benefit far too much, and all players are forced in the same routine over and over again. They're boring.
Its such a shame developers care more about making a game accessible and easy rather than truly fun.

Very good call - and I'm ashamed to say that I had forgotten.
As for my contribution, I'd definitely go with Core Design's Corporation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_(video_game)
A stealth based FPS that predated Wolfenstein 3D by two years and incorporated Deus Ex style cyberpunk RPG elements a decade before Warren Spector's game hit the shelves. Should have been held up as one of gaming's great milestones, but nowadays it's all but forgotten.

Well, some ideas (and ENGINE!) were implemented in Lords of Shadow and their developers (Now called MercurySteam) still want to make a sequel.. someday.Blade, The Edge of Darkness.
It's very similar to Dark Souls, and fantastic.

PS1 version is, DC sequel was project justice to go along with the plot of the newer game.
