Too much fun to be had. Decent single player and amazing mp.
Anyone that remembers this game is there anything out there like it now? I'm not a fan of straight out races against 9 other cars or the clock. This was different.

 

[gibut]

Man Flashback on Nintendo was so very good. Never forget how much fun i had playing through that game.

 

[Gsak]

Some Urban Reign love:

There be some MAD COMBOS in this game son.

How does someone with a Drakengard avatar not say Drakengard?
Drakengard is my answer btw. Nier gets all the underground love, while poor Drakengard gets left out in the cold.
My answers are:
Lock's Quest

Barely ever gets mentioned, maybe because outwardly it seems childish. But inside there's a lovely, heartfelt story, great sprite graphics, kickass soundtrack. Seriously. No foolin. And the game itself is an excellent take on the tire tower defense genre. I love Lock's Quest and the fact 5th probably won't ever make a second one pains me.

Soul Bubbles

<3 it.

The Cliffhanger- Edward Randy

Insane 2D setpiece craziness, never released outside Japan, never ported to any home console

 

[Gsak]

Evil Zone One of the first anime style fighting games on the PS1.

Cardinal Syn Great soundtrack and kinda hard.

Tenchu & Tenchu 2: The original and its epic sequel.

 

[Brick]

Everyone dance like it's 1994!

Holy crap, that music takes me back. So good!

 

[Gsak]

Holy crap, that music takes me back. So good!

Ahh... Nostalgia. And anger: Why don't they make music like that anymore dammit?

 

[RoadHazard]

Little Big Adventure 1 & 2

Not necessarily entirely forgotten, but outside of a small group of devoted fans nobody's really talking about them anymore. And that's sad, because they're some of the best and most special PC action adventure games ever made!

[ii Stryker]

Will forever hold a place in my memories.

came to post this

also The Suffering franchise and the Legacy of Cain games

 

[SDBurton]

Project Justice
Capcom Y U NO GIVE US SEQUEL?

Came in the thread to post this. So damn fun. Now if only more people were familiar with it we wouldn't be stuck with one of the worst characters from it when it comes to crossovers.

 

[Arcteryx]

MP was SOOOOOOO much fun

 

[Ciastek3214]

 

[atomic moth]

We need more games with Samuel L Jackson's voice

 

[Tunavi]

Megaman Battle Network

 

[Gsak]

MP was SOOOOOOO much fun

I think there is still a dedicated MP community.

 

[Absoludacrous]

Always gets looked over because of the Xbox game.

 

[Azure J]

Since there can never be enough mentions, Mischief Makers, Commander Keen, & Breath of Fire are some good ones from this thread. Also:

<-- If you know where this character in my avatar is from, we're cool peoples.

Spoiler

Startropics.

 

[Friggz]

Cannon Spike was a game that I always enjoyed playing. In fact most dreamcast games can be included in this thread. BangiO is another one.

 

[kinn]

Dark Savior and Landstalker are two games that never get talked up enough on GAF (and I still don't know how everyone forgets about Landstalker, given its VC release and relative profile in the Mega Drive library). Glad you brought them up.

Artdink made a lot of games that people just pass by no matter what. And yet a lot of them are incredibly interesting from multiple perspectives.

This.

Such a shame that the PSP remake got canned...

 

[AusQB]

So many amazing games in this thread, I wanted to quote half the posts. It's depressing to think almost none of them will ever get a sequel, reboot or spiritual successor.

 

[robin2]

Requiem: Avenging Angel

 

[Zabuza]

Gladius

 

[Grzi]

And I'll add...

Came to post this, I love this game so much.

Some other stuff:

A great original platforming game that looked amazing when it came out.

A really good 3rd person shooter that never gets mentioned anywhere.

One of the best fighting games ever.

It kind of got lost among the more famous PS2 3rd person action/adventure games but it doesn't deserve it, especially with crap like God of War getting all that praise.

A game that most people avoided but it gained a small cult following over time. It deserved more than that though, it's a truly exceptional game, one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. Probably my favorite battle system ever.

 

[GoldandBlue]

The sprite work in this game was beautiful.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Man, I fucking loved Freedom Fighters. I swear they announced a sequel back then.

 

[AuthenticM]

 

[Beergut]

Crystal Caliburn

 

[KawabataSan]

Chaos Overlords (1996, Pc/Mac, StickMan Games/New World Computing). Directed by John Keoni Morris.

 

[Anoregon]

I still tend to play for a month or two every year. I actually had a decent 3 month or so stretch recently around the big February patch that added dual-wield and revamped melee skills. It's too bad there's no modernish spiritual successor, as AC2 was an EQ-esque attempted cashgrab abomination.

a new gargoyles quest with this gen hardware or next would be amazing but capcom is to lame to do anything with it

 

[To Far Away Times]

My shake shake quota has yet to be reached.

Shake Shake!!

 

[Gsak]

Crystal Caliburn

Huh. This reminded me of Pinball Action:

 

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

Starring Nathan Drake's father and making a valid argument for Xbox Live long before Halo 2....there was...

God yes.

My contribution

Meh sequel and fucked up last level but it was still amazing.

Funny dialog and great weapon variety. (Shark Gun!)

 

[FormallyFamicom]

Stunt Island was truly ahead of its time.

Good call. I really wish something like this existed today.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Some Urban Reign love:

There be some MAD COMBOS in this game son.

This

this

this

 

[Speevy]

It blows me away that they still haven't released this game on PSN or XBLA.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

The world, characters and overall gameplay systems really deserved to have become a larger IP.

yesssssssss

loved this game , so good. The soundtrack was great as well

my pick

great game... overshadowed by goldeneye 64

 

[John Rabbit]

quoted for size.

granted, one would have to know this game even exists in order to forget it, but it's a really one of my favorite games from this generation. great combat, solid art design, massive open world areas, fun mechanics, etc. feels like a proto-arkham asylum but with norse mythology/vikings instead of batman.

 

[Harlock]

 

[Seanspeed]

Descent series

Somebody really needs to make a game like this again.

 

[kittens]

Just ordered Soul Bubbles thanks to this thread.

 

[Gsak]

Two Mega Drive/Genesis games:

Alien Soldier

Treasure. Need I say more?

Castlevania: Bloodlines

The forgotten, underrated CV game. Also it was Michiru Yamane's first CV soundtrack.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Back before they went stupid with Harvest Moon, Natsume published a couple awesome NES action games. Sadly I forgot their names. *sniff*

Also Ninja Five O!!!!!

 

[Downhome]

I was going to mention The Mark of Kri with the below selections, but it seems others jumped on it before I could get to it. That sorta makes me happy though.

I would love to see the following two games get a solid remake or followup...

As time moves forward, I find less and less people mentioning Crystalis, one of my favorite games of all time. So much so that I always much prefered it over The Legend of Zelda, and I LOVE Zelda games...

And I haven't seen this game mentioned in a while. Also a personal favorite of mine, with an outstanding soundtrack - Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse...

 

[CitizenCope]

Crazy to see all these "Only on Xbox" games. WTH happened?

 

[To Far Away Times]

Alien Soldier

This game is so good.

 

[Captain_Spanky]

I'll never forget this

 

[Gsak]

Nightmare Creatures

A 3D, dark and gothic brawler/hack n' slash with an awesome soundtrack. It had a sequel that was "meh".
