Eternal Eyes for PS1, Okage: Shadow King for PS2 and Orphen: Scion of Sorcery are great ones.

Field Commander (PSP)

Great handheld turn-based strategy. Definitely inspired by Advance Wars, but enhanced by 3D. Ground, Sea, and Air units can occupy the same space. Both live online competitive matches and "play by email" async play. This game was the total package.

 

[RiZ III]

So many good games in this thread. Man I miss the psx/n64/saturn days.

Edit: Listening to music from Napple Tale.. man good stuff.

[FullMetalx]

Dragon Ball Z sagas. Best DBZ game IMO.

 

[nyong]

Edit: Stupid iPad

Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday

 

[MasterOfPastures]

50 levels... old school length in an awesome spy-game.

 

[FullMetalx]

The best star wars game of all time. But people only remember kotor

 

[ConsumerSquare]

Metal Warriors

My cousin and I spent so many hours in head to head mode. Jet pack dude vs. mech was tense.

 

[Gsak]

Yoshi's Story

 

[TheSpoiler]

I like you. Are there many games that try to capture that feel like Acquire's Tenchu/Shinobido/Way of the Samurai games?

Samurai Western, but it was awful.

Ever played Rising Zan?

Risiiiiiing Zaaaaan, Samurai Gunmaaaan
Risiiiiiing Zaaaaan, Johnny noooooo moooooree!

 

[cj_iwakura]

There is no other game like Deception, plain and simple, and this was the start of the series at its best.

Though I suppose we're lucky the series made it to four games.


And Samurai Western was amazing.

Hexplore - PC (1998)
Excellent game with dodgy voxel graphics that I'm pretty sure no-one could possibly remember. Has a theme I still remember 14 years later - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4KjMqOqLlg

Sentinel Returns - PC,PS1 (1998)
Surreal and baffling game that I got really good at after a while.

Also had good theme - by John Carpenter of all people - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTntaBSRdeg

If you don't know what this game is about then maybe this will clear things up - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK9DKB5PvKE&feature=related&t=0m54s

No, I remember Hexplore too. Always reminded me of an evolved version of Gauntlet.

I also recall playing the original version of The Sentinel on an Amstrad back in the 1980's. It's still one of the tensest gaming experiences that I can remember, despite running at about 5 fps.

 

[Tomodachi]

I kinda liked this. I guess it became Dissidia or something:

Just watched most of the video. What in the fuck is this game?!

I think I remember seeing an advert for it in PSM. Brb, finishing up my articles just so I can play this game all day.

Oh, just you wait...

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Shadow Hearts Covenant was bizarre late in the game but a fantastic RPGS with a great battle system.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

Did anyone say Urban Chaos? Because Urban Chaos.

 

[Gsak]

Which reminds me:

Koudelka

 

[Spat_triate]

• 150 player servers
• Dynamic day & night cyle
• Intricate class interplay (e.g. you need a spotter for the mortar guy to fire accurately)
• Great underwater explosions
• Playable hovercrafts that carry APCs
• Huge maps
• etc.

I loved this game.

 

[Noaloha]

I loved me some

 

[SlipperyFishes]

I forgot about Simant. Classy.

 

[mysocksarepink]

Shadowrun... the FPS.

 

[toneroni]

Snowboard Kids was so good.

YES! Loved playing multiplayer

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Most of you mothafucka's have terrific taste.

 

[djtiesto]

This game, wonder if anyone has ever played it here:

 

[Sattori]

 

[Shahed]

Thought I'd enter the thread and post some of my own. Instead I see 4 pages worth of games I've pretty much never heard of bar a few exceptions.

I now feel depressed for calling myself a gamer...

 

[Meier]

Aerobiz and Aerobiz Supersonic. Two of my favorite games of my youth that I've been dying to play a new version of for nearly 20 years. Thank you Nimblebit and Pocket Planes for scratching that itch.

...and still expensive as all hell.

I somehow lost my copy over the years. Made me sad when I saw how much it ended up being worth.

 

[LevelNth]

The original vision for Warhawk on PS3, which I bought the damn system in anticipation for, before it was completely neutered and lost its SP mode and I lost all desire to play it.

 

[ScOULaris]

Motherfucking WeaponLord.

Complex gameplay systems that were ahead of their time, great characters and art style, custom fatality combos... All hamstrung by an unfortunate release date and the technical limitations of the SNES and Genesis.

I would absolutely KILL for hi-res 2D followup to this game.

 

[Tex117]

7th Saga.

Colony Wars.

Dragon's View.

All strangely compelling in their own way.

 

[GungHo]

This game had sequels, but they ran the shit into the ground. Too bad... it was a great idea at the time.

This This this... When Koei.. WHEN... instead of realseing a new game in the series i'm forced to port it my self to various consoles (via EMU)....

Also would like to nominate Uncharted Waters

(I need to check out Nimblbit and Pocket Panes it seems)

 

[Dennis]

Risen

Never forget. The finest exploration-RPG of the modern era. Rock hard and dangerous.

 

[BigTnaples]

I loved me some

I would kill for another SimAnt.

 

[Comet]

At least in Europe, its almost unknown.

I came to post this

[HyperCubed4]

Snowboard Kids was so good.

OH GOD, YES

 

[Rush2thestart]

 

[Ultimadrago]

Agreed.

 

[ultron87]

May have been mentioned before, but I feel like a game that doesn't get nearly enough credit is Battlezone (1998 edition):

It was an combination action and RTS game with a crazy conspiracy filled Cold War story where the United States and the Soviets are battling secretly on the Moon with hovertanks. I really enjoyed the gameplay and campaign in both it and in its sequel which brought in crazy alien things. My favorite part about the sequel was that the campaign ended with a choice where you could either destroy the aliens or join them and do a mini campaign on their side.
