Just something weird that didn't get mainstream success or real consumer appeal but you have a strong attachment to.

Seaman would be mine, this game would actually be a perfect application for the Kinect... Hmmmm

I have way too many of those: Alien Soldier, Battle Mania Daiginjou, Gley Lancer, Galactic Attack, Rodea, Crusader of Centy, Pulseman, Ranger X, Guardian Heroes, Steel Empire, etc. Heck, if we're talking true mainstream recognition, I could probably even count games like MUSHA, NiGHTS, Herzog Zwei, Ristar, Virtual On, Rocket Knight, all of the Panzer Dragoon, Thunder Force, and Raiden games, anything from Cave, etc.

Right now it's Gang Beasts and Mount Your Friends.

Both are super fun 4 player local play.

I suppose mine would be Tactics Ogre: The Knights of Lodis for GBA. I sunk so many hours into that game.

@dynamitecop: that game was ahead of its time, pretty much like the dreamcast was.

I loved the avgn episode on it.
