Looking for Great Old School Games... Any Suggestions?

I'm particularly looking for some of the more rare or more unheard of type of old school games mostly in the RPG, RTS, Point & click adventure game and the Platforming genres.

Mostly looking for these types of games for the Nes, Snes, Sega Gen, Psone, PC and the original DS, as well as for the Gameboy advanced.

If anybody knows of any games that you think would be worth mentioning and are more on the rare and unheard of side within these genres and for these platforms please respond to this forum?

It would be much appreciated.

"RRG"?

SNES- Magic Sword, Hagane, Demon's Crest.

GB- While not unknown, play TLoz Link's Awakening, if possible DX edition.

Genesis- I'm not really sure of the how popular they are, but I believe Shining Force 1 & 2 are the absolute best games on the system.

PS1- Parasite Eve is just plain awesome.

RPG: Mother 1 & 2[SNES]; Final Fantasy Tactics [PSONE]; Phantasy Star (SEGA Master System)

Platformer: Kid Icarus of Myths and Monster (Game Boy),

Sports: Megaman Soccer[SNES] not a good game but definetely a rare one

Saga Frontier 2 on PSOne and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on GBA are lots of fun, same with Golden Axe Warrior on Sega Master System.

Sorry about that, I thought I typed RPG there.

these are still "known" point and click adventures, but Snatcher is pretty amazing. It was by Kojima before he moved on to Metal Gear Solid (they actually reference Metal Gear in the game). It's on Sega CD and PC.

there's also The Neverhood by Doug Tennapel (creator of Earthworm Jim, Skullmonkeys, etc..) in which a spiritual successor "Armikrog." will be releasing this year. It's a claymation point and click adventure on PC.

Mario Luigi Superstar Saga for the Gameboy advance. My favorite Mario game ever, combining platforming with RPG elements. Lots of fun

ps2- Blood Omen 2

Soul Reaver 2

Predator: Concrete Jungle

Reservoir Dogs "yea its actually a VERY underrated shooter based on the old classic movie"

Blood Rayne 1 and 2

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

ps1- Legacy of Kain "HIGHLY rare tho so good luck finding it"

Soul Reaver

Castlevania: Symphony of The Night

Fighting Force 2 "another VERY underrated game, was way ahead of its time"

any RE game tho i prefer the 2nd.

point and click- I Have No Mouth Yet I Must Scream "yea thats really the name of it and be warned its extremely graphic and morbid"
