So. Everyone knows the Halos, the Marios, and the Sanics of the world, but there are tons of great titles that for reasons here and there might go under the radar of most gamers.
These are just picked from my collection. No real ranking with the order. It's all just random.
[b]#1[/b] [u][b]Phantasy Star Online Episode I&II[/b][/u]
[i]This game to date is possibly one of the best RPGs games I've ever played. I've sunk years into this game. It's on every platform I believe, but at the time this was one of the first console MMO games of it's day. It possibly might be the only online accessible game for the GameCube. Fun fact, it's still possible to connect to private servers to play this. Neat.
Anyway, must people for whatever reason never played this game. It was made by the Sega team and they did a great job. Sadly, this was the best in the series. If you are into RPGs with space guns and swords then check this game out. It's lovely.[/i]
[b]#2[/b] [b][u]Dragon Quest VIII[/u][/b]
[i]Okay. So. Dragon Quest is huge in Japan. Like. Really really huge. So huge that the government supposedly forced the release date to be changed out of fear that that nobody would show up to work.
Now, this game was the first in the series to be released in North America. Most North Americans typically are unaware of JRPGs and I suspect most people have never played this game. If not, do it now. It's a solid game. Pokémon was originally based off of the play-style of dragon quest if that gives you an idea of how the combat works.[/i]
[b]#3[/b] [b][u]MechAssault[/u][/b]
[i]Microsoft published this game actually interestingly enough. To sum up this game; It's really -blam!-ing fun. All I'm going to say is play it if you like blowing shit up.[/i]
[b]#4[/b] [u][b]Batman on NES[/b][/u]
[i]So... The NES. I'm just going to assume that most of b.net is too young to have played the NES as a kid. Now. All the first party titles are known and they're all great. This one is a great 3rd party game and that's actually pretty rare. Most NES games are shit. Like. Unplayable garbage. Not this one.[/i]
[b]#5[/b] [b][u]Reactor[/u][/b]
[i]It's a 2600 game and it's rather creative. I'm not going to give it away but if you own a 2600 pick it up.[/i]
[b]#6[/b] [b][u]Ecco the Dolphin (The Tides of Time)[/u][/b]
[i]So. Again. Old and most people probably haven't played it, but the real reason I picked this was because somebody very special here has a dolphin fetish. *wink wink*[/i]
[b]#7[/b] [b][u]Doom 64[/u][/b]
[i]DOOM. Yep. It's Doom. But this one is different. It's a totally different game. It's dark as shit and really gives a feeling of terror. Best of all is the button mapping. Yep. A 64 game has more features for controls than most modern games.[/i]
So. Post games that are great and yet semi or totally unknown!!!

The only Trackmania game I've never played was the DS one. I will recommend every single Trackmania game to anyone looking for a racer. Heck, I remember the day I brought Nations in to play during lunch (or after my AP computer science class). By the next week just about everyone in that class was playing it, and before I knew it t seemed as if every computer lab had the game, and boy oh boy were those LAN matches crazy.

Atomic Bomberman (1996, PC), kept me entertained as a kid. Lots of screaming though, but the music was awesome.

And if you haven't heard of it, it's a game about using a giant robot that is almost fully customizable to blow everything to hell. So yeah. And also, Robotech: Invasion. Pretty good FPS on the original Xbox and PS2. The game is based on the New Generation Robotech series.

[b]NES:[/b] [i]Crystalis[/i] It did Zelda better than Zelda when it came out. Zelda didn't catch up with it for dungeon innovation until A Link to the Past on SNES. The soundtrack was also very advanced for NES. Extra points for it being a post-apocalyptic fantasy game. [b]Genesis:[/b] [i]The Lost Vikings & The Lost Vikings 2 (or Norse By Norsewest)[/i] I've yet to see another co-op puzzle game as fun, challenging and infuriating as these were. They were funny, quirky and.. well, it's a game about vikings that get abducted by aliens. It kinda sets the expectation bar right from the start. They start time-traveling in the sequel. Shenanigans ensue. [i]B.O.B.[/i] Played somewhat similar to Metroid, Vectorman and Earthworm Jim before it, a weird game with a robot protagonist. I was really little when I played it so I remember little about the plot, but I loved it. [i]ToeJam & Earl: Panic on Funkatron[/i] While the first game never really captured me, I fell in love with the second one. My dad and I spent many hours playing this when I was younger. If you haven't played it, look it up. Surrealist sidescroller where you play as a pair of aliens kicking Earthlings off your planet by throwing jars at them, trapping them in them like some kind of screwed up Pokemon and throwing them in a ship at the end of level to be shot back to Earth. [b]GameBoy Advance & DS[/b] I only have two here, but if another iteration of either of these comes out for 3DS, I'm buying a system for it. [i]Golden Sun//The Lost Age//Dark Dawn[/i] This game was the pinnacle, in my opinion, of how well you can make Final Fantasy-style game on a handheld. Surprisingly rich lore and intricate soundtrack for a GBA game, well balanced power system, a very unique tying together of a class and summoning mechanic and fairly lovable characters. The DS version was the weaker of the three, but it still remains better than a good few efforts in the same genre. DS version upgraded from pseudo 3D to full-rendered 3D (and suffered for it, in my personal opinion), as well as upgrading the soundtrack quality using the higher powered system. [i] Advance Wars Series[/i] This game was what my friends played to settle arguments. 1v1, no Sturm. Turn-based strategy on a grid, where you capture cities, factories and other buildings for funds and production capability. Different commanders had different passive and active abilities (the active abilities in the form of Super Powers that lasted for you turn and the enemy's next turn) that you could choose. First example I saw of a game like this with good unit balance and a full map editor. The first two took a rather cartoonish approach to war, where a lot of the commanders were kids and no one seemed to mind after battles that hundreds of people had just died. Tone darkened in the first DS iteration, but still remained colorful and jaunty. The third one takes place in a different world than the original three, in a world where meteors bombarded the planet and wiped out nearly everyone. Obviously much darker tone. I cannot tell you how many hours of my life I've expended on these four games, but I [i]can [/i]tell you I had over 700 hours logged on my Advance Wars 2 cartridge before it died and I had to replace it. Addictive as hell.

Edytowany przez użytkownika ClusiveC: 10/7/2015 1:37:49 AMThumbs up for MechAssault. That and MechWarrior used to be my games back in the day. Might I nominate Men Of War Assault Squad 2? Arguably the best RTT to ever be developed, literally. No fanboyism or anything in that. World War 2. The game's multiplayer is the main attraction. Battles are played out in a team vs team scenario, with up to 16 players in any one match. There are several factions to choose from, including Japan, WW2 Russia, Germany, USA, United Kingdom, etc. Each faction has it's own unique unit sets that actually have differences that go beyond cosmetic. There are no bases. Instead, players rely on reinforcement deployments that they choose from during the course of a game. This simple idea forces players to focus entirely on fighting and winning battles. [i]Very[/i] tactical battles. Each and every single individual soldier under your command has his own health, inventory, ammunition, skillset, stance, etc. These individual soldiers can be grouped into squads on the fly by simple mouse dragging and clicking. This allows for a level of detailed tactical gameplay not seen in almost any other RTS/T that you can think of. With a cover system that blows almost any other RTS game out the water (and the ability to directly control any unit you have, all the way down to the specific soldier), MOWAS 2, on the raw gameplay level, allows for advanced maneuvering, tactics, and skill to win battle for you. A good player can set up technical moves with infantry alone to put up a good fight against an average player using the very wide arsenal of units. [i]The reason why this game is relatively unknown is because of it's learning curve. Needless to say, this much detail of micromanagement and tactics makes the game very hard for newer players, and it (from my experience) takes about 150-220 games for a player to get at an adept level(I know this because you can see how many games everyones played). ,Another reason for it being unknown is Company of Heroes, which dominates the mainstream WW2 RTS/T genre.[/i]
