Ahh Winback. The game was awesome on N64 and even better on PS2. The multiplayer was such a blast. I had such a fine time playing this. There was a sequel iirc. Don't think I ever played it though. If this came back I'd support it.
I don't know about the PSP remake, to be honest. It looked okay, but the music sounded like a shitty and boring rearrangement of the original overworld theme, and it just felt low-budget all-around. A real remake needs to bring Landstalker into 3D, with the mechanics translated over as well (including multiple camera options).
Yeahbut at least it has an article on Hardcore Gaming 101, and people talk about it's outlandishness every now and then. The one other crazy fin-de-seicle game that Data East made around that time never gets any attention, except from me apparently (and another indie game musician who I can't remember at the momentintroduced me to the game at the first ScrewAttack con).

You think that's obscure? Just wait until you play ZOOM's Sharp X68000 original!
Always gets looked over because of the Xbox game.
We got Drill Dozer, admittedly, though it's a bit tame compared to Pulseman. I hope that Ken Sugimori gets to direct another of his unique platformer games in the future, because Game Freak's gradually increasing in developer count and leadership stability.
Pulseman deserved more than just one game.
I'm scared to go back though, so many fond memories.
i played this game enthusiastically until the sequence where you had to escape through the ceiling of the elevator whilst being shot at. shit was so difficult/aggravating that i don't know if i ever got past it, or just quit once i had lucked my way through.Played the bejezus out of these games a few years ago:

Absolutely amazing soundtrack. One of the best, and most criminally underrated VG soundtracks I will ever remember. If only the gameplay was a notch better and the dungeons weren't bland as all hell and go on forever. Would have been an absolute rpg classic. But I still love it to death flaws and all.
And just look at this game, it was freakin' gorgeous!
Woah... never even heard of this one, but it sounds amazing. Must investigate!

Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat for PS2 is my most favorite of barely known games. Still haven't found anyone who's played it. I'm sure someone on here has, though.
