Great forgotten games.

What are some games that you've played that were completely awesome, but no one else seems to know about?

The game that I choose is Shatterhand. This game was very much like Mega Man, but he was so awesom he just punced the baddies to death. This game is long overdue for a sequal.

Shatterhand!

Rad Racer, racing game from NES

M.U.L.E., fun game with up to 4 players from Atari Home Computers, NES, and C64 (only up to 2 players)

Archon 1-2, battle chesslike game from NES, C64, Atari Home Computers, PC

Rad Racer was pretty badass.

Speed Devils for the DC is pretty awesome, but I have yet to meet a person who even knows about it. The R-type series (2d shooter) for some reason is not well known by anyone I've ever met. Zombies Ate My Nieghbors too.

I've always loved the R-type series, lots of fun.

And Zombies Ate My neigbors was great too. I loled when I saw it at Blockbuster for the 1st time for the Snes

One of my favorite arcade games that took a LONG time to go to any console was Black Tiger.

Another might be Super Pinball: Behind the Mask on SNES. For the time, it was incredibly detailed 3D pinball. It was a few years before something as good as it hit even the PC.

Speaking of which, Hyper 3D Pinball is one of my favorite older PC pinball games.

To sum up:
Arcade - Black Tiger
SNES - Super Pinball: Behind the Mask
PC - Hyper 3d Pinball

(snes)pocky and rocky 1&2

they made a new one for the gba. but uh

game is dope, any one else played it

(genesis)and the mutant league games. i hate sport games but i got hooked on these

word emagen1086

I liked Mario Picross a lot. However, it sold so poorly in the U.S. that its sequel never reached our shores. :(

Luckily, we now have Picross DS, but I'd still like to play Mario Picross 2.

I really enjoyed the Monkey Island series. It's a shame that they started screwing with the animation. I really liked the first 2 in the series, but 3 and 4 were just such huge shifts for me.

How did he become younger in 3 and 4? that was just odd.

I like Mystery Quest a lot for the NES. On the NES there was Pro Wrestling and Advanced D&D: Heroes of the Lance, also great games.

Shatterhand is great like you said, and both Rad Racer games are classic.

On the SNES there is a game called Incantation and it's a great 2-D platformer that I've never even heard another person mention before. I don't even remember where it came from but it's a great game.

I really liked Jumping Flash and Jumping Flash 2 for the original PS, they should get a little more love on best of the Playstation lists.

I've been playing Mischief Makers for the N64 lately. Road Avenger for the Sega Cd is awesome. I always try to mention Chu Chu Rocket, for the Dreamcast, because it is so amazing single and multiplayer. I will openly admit to loving Sega a little too much, but at least I know what I like.

i was just about to put this!

Twisted Metal: Black

Blood Omen 2

Gun Nac and Section Z for the NES.

Not the greatest games around but some of my favourites as a kid.

Secret of Evermore is one of my favorite games for the SNES

Secret of Evermore is one of my favorite games for the SNES

exactly! I love the game. The alchemy system was great and the cheesy dialogue was classic.

Sunset Riders for super nintendo. (brilliant game)

Battletoads & Double Dragon for snes (not sure how many ppl played that one)

Oh, man I could go on and on...maybe...

Anyway, earthobund I think is great. Monster Party for the NES, and Clay Fighter, the two N64 versions.

Sunset Riders for super nintendo. (brilliant game)

Battletoads & Double Dragon for snes (not sure how many ppl played that one)

WWJD

Sunset Riders was a great game. LOL the shotgun dude and the other one with pistols.

Tales of the Abyss.Carbine_Wasted

Great game, one of the best of the tales series...

But for me, one of the best games that went unnoticed is Dragon Force for the Saturn (Guardian Heroes comes in my mind also)

.

I liked the Super Scope 6 on the SNES, it didn't get a lot of games, but it was fun to have this huge gun on your shoulders!Chrystsown

Me too! I still break mine out every once in a while. It's surprising how much fun it actually is.

I'll mention PLOK and Sim Ant for SNES. Both are fantastic.

I agree. In a really old issue they mention that a guy who wrote for Nintendo Power in the early 90's also wrote most of the dialogue for Evermore. At the time I remember thinking "An American writing RPGs? Pretty neat.".

Here's a few for you...

Project:Overkill (PS1...classic and underrated)

E-SWAT, Shadow Dancer, Cyberball (Genesis)

Jackal, P.O.W., R.C. Pro Am (NES)

TMNT Tournament Fighters (SNES)

Crystalis for the NES, way better than Zelda. They did a remake for the GBC, but they changed the music completely which was extremely saddening, as it had some of my favorite music of any game to date.

Popeye on Atari 5200!

Dark Crystal for Sega CD. Not much people have sega cd, but that game kick some much ass

NamelessPlayer

Same here. The story was good, but the dialogue screwed it up. Bring it back on the Virtual Console, damnit! And as of now, I nominate Faria. Imagine Zelda II, only no side scrolling parts. Still battles, though.

warrior kings

Mystical Ninja for the N64 was probably one of my favorite Zelda clones out there. It had great dungeons, but what separated it from the rest was it's sense of humor.

Lunar Legends for the GBA was a pretty good RPG, but unfortunately got lost in the shuffle.

Warlocked was a very good strategy game for the GBC. Yep, a strategy game for the GBC. The fact that it worked was surprising.
