Most UNDERRATED games... biatch.

[James]

Welcome to the other end of the spectrum. Wipe your feet and leave you simple-brained opinions about consoles at the front door. And yeah, this thread's been done in the past. But why bump a thread I might not be able to find?

Kingdom Hearts. People immediately see Disney stuff, and treat it like a SARS outbreak. This is one of the most fun games in the universe, with gameplay reminiscent of Secret of Mana, but with a ton of additions. Some nice side-quests and uber-bosses are in there too. Everyone must play it.

Harvest Moon. Farming sims. Seem boring, but they're highly addictive. There's so much to do, that you can play through over and over (if you have the patience) and advance the game however you want. Grow whatever crops, get whatever animals, whatever additions to your house, even whatever wife you may want. It's incredibly fun. Save the Homeland stands as the odd-one-out, simplifying the gameplay and giving you a shorter time frame. But it's still fun.

SOCOM. The headset alone makes this game incredibly fun. Talking to your fellow soldiers and receiving messages on your mission is really good. A very strong use of stealth, and varied landscapes and missions make this game worth at least renting (but you won't get a headset that way). Online has gone to shit, with so many people finding ways to use game-alterring devices. But if you can still find some honest players, online play is just as much, if not more, fun.

WWE Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth. I was never interested in wrestling until I checked out the shows after playing Smackdown 2. Now, I hate WWE TV because it sucks donkey balls, but that doesn't make the games any less fun. In other words, it's not all that much of a niche title, appealing only to wrestling fags (not unlike the Tony Hawk series).

Season mode is a little bland, and sometimes annoying. But there's nothing more fun than gathering FIVE friends (you'll need a second multi-tap), and duking it out in one of several gimmick matches, or straight-out wrestling matches. Lots of things are lacking, but the fun that can be had by talking shit to your friend as your wrestler wails on his with a chair outweighs them all. And the ENDLESS possibilities with Create-A-Wrestler is just the icing on the cake. Wanna have your crazy made-up midget wrestle The Tick? Done, and done.

[timrpgland]

Good call on Harvest Moon, STH sucked imo though. Can't wait for the new ones.

hmm underrated.... Off the top of my head Front Mission 3, Ogre Battle 64, Mischief Makers, and Tribes 2.

[Rongi]

Mischeif Makers, FFT ( I know dosens of people who have never heard of it ), and Threads Of Fate ( I don't know anyone else who has ever even heard of this game ).

[Kurodo]

Yeah, Mischief Makers. Barely anyone has heard of that game. It was fun. And Harvest Moon too. No one understands. :(

[Immortal Goat]

Animal Crossing. I know all it is is buying a house, paying it off, and living in a town, but DAMN IT, ITS FUN!

[soundtest]

Rez (DC/PS2), Alex Kidd in Miracle World (SMS), Wonderboy (arcade version), Phantasy Star series (Genesis - excluding PS3)and Sanitarium (PC).

[HickMan]

Terranigma, and Eternal Darkness.
TERRANIGMA :rock that game was great.

[Zomboid]

Illusion of Gaia, The Haunting, Ranger X, Blood, Zombies Ate my Neighbors. That's only a few but I'll remember more later.

I also agree about harvest moon.

[Generator86]

Einhander :(

[Rongi]

Nobody knows about Einhander for the very reason that it sucks.

[Cap'n Crunch]

Illusion of Gaia, The Haunting, Ranger X, Blood, Zombies Ate my Neighbors. That's only a few but I'll remember more later.

I also agree about harvest moon.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors was a great game. I never beat it becase I didn't like using passwords. That last boss was that huge skull, it was fucking badass.

Has anyone ever heard of Ultimate Stuntman on NES? The game is great.

[Rongi]

Another good game no one knows about is Kid Chameleon(sp?)

Me and my friend could never beat the last boss :(

[soundtest]

Gunstar Heroes :rock

[Rongi]

I LOVED THAT GAME SO MUCH :(

I wish I didn't get rid of my genisis. I hate myself :( :( :(

[MrAdventure]

I've never really heard of Gunstar Heroes as being underrated, it's mostly just forgotten about in that "everyone had an SNES then" way.

I suppose ROGUElikes are very underrated as a whole, especially for being fucking free and very available. Go out and try some you pussies.

[Esuohlim]

Animal Crossing. I know all it is is buying a house, paying it off, and living in a town, but DAMN IT, ITS FUN!

Way to be good at being FUCKING WRONG.

What the hell is fun about the game? Once I finished all the mindless tasks of Tom Nook, there was nothing left to do. I walked around and talked to residents, but they weren't helpful. I knew I was missing something so I went to GameFAQs (or GameFAGs) and asked what I was doing wrong in the game and what there was left to do and the response I got was "find seashells, fish, and bugs and sell them for money". It was that moment that I knew the game was complete crap and I took it back to Blockbuster the next day.

My friend has been playing it since she got for Christmas, and she says it's as fun as ever.

I don't know if I'm out of my mind or the rest of the world is. :(

By the way, EarthBound is very underrated and one of the best RPGs EVAR.

[HickMan]

Crusaders of Centy and Beyond Oasis. Those games made the Genesis. Not Sonic. These games were the best for their time if you ask me. :)

[Ninjavenom]

Chameleon Twist
Goemon 64
FFT
Nosferatu
Bushido Blade
Ehrgeiz

All wicked fun. NO ONE LIKES CHAMELEON TWIST. WHY?? >: >: >: >: >: >: >:

[Rongi]

I lurv Chameleon Twist :o

I never did beat it :( :( :(

Oh yeah, and another awesome game no one knows about is Brave Fencer Musashi. I loved that game :(

[Esuohlim]

Oh yeah, and another awesome game no one knows about is Brave Fencer Musashi. I loved that game :(

I have the demo of that game on the disc that came with my Playstation.

It was fun, but I couldn't find the actual game anywhere. :(

[Rongi]

It was really really fun :(

But I sold it to buy some other gay game. I hate myself :( :( :(

[Zomboid]

Crusaders of Centai and Beyond Oasis. Those games made the Genesis. Not Sonic. These games were the best for their time if you ask me. :)
I think you meant Crusader of Centy (http://www.i-mockery.com/classicgames/detailed.asp?Type=console&ID=663)

[HickMan]

Anyway, it dosn't matter. That game was underrated. I would rather play Crusaders or Centy or Beyond Oasis any day of the week against any sonic game. >:

[Rongi]

Megaman Legends was kinda underrated :/.

I know a lot of people who didn't like it though :(. I loved it :(. The 2nd one wasn't too good though :(.

[Les Waste]

Here are the games I really love that I don't feel get the credit they deserve for not sucking:

Hunter: The Reckoning
Illusion of Gaia
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy Legends 1, 2, and 3
Final Fantasy Adventure
Actraiser
Eternal Darkness
Final Fantasy 9
Harvest Moon
WWF No Mercy
Commando for NES (not Bionic Commando that was gay >: )
Lufia I and II
Mario RPG
Rock n' Roll Racing
Arcana
Wanderers from Y's
Legend of Zelda: Majora's mask
Paper Mario (Fuck you. Yeah, it was easy and stupid, but it was fun >: )

And I wouldn't call Animal Crossing underrated. Even though I hated it, so many people love it so much that I don't think it can be called underrated.

[Rongi]

Grandia 1 and 2 where underrated yet fun RPGS. I never finished 2 though

[soundtest]

:eek Bionic Commando... gay???? :faint

http://www.sound-test.org/barf/gagaga.png

[Grazzt]

Planescape: Torment. Go and get it or I'll dig your eyes out with a spoon.

[timrpgland]

Paladin's Quest and Spike McFang

[Generator86]

I didn't think Mario RPG was underrated simply due to the fact that so many people on here have jerked off over it on other threads.

I forgot about Ergheiz and Bushido Blade. Both of those were fun, for what they were worth.

Too many people unfavourably compared UmJammer Lammy to Parappa the Rapper. UmJammer was by FAR the better of the two.

[snake]

Shadowman..........the first one for computers.

Going through that gritty underworld and blasting the dead until their souls laid bare was amazingly fun.

Besides, they had real serial killers in the game and a drunkard snake with an irish accent.


silent steel

[Rongi]

Shadow Man fucking sucked.

[Grazzt]

Just remembered one. Take No Prisoners for the PC. You run around a post-apocalyptic San Antonio (with the levels in no linear pattern, to boot) and blast mutants, crazed survivalists, cultists and the like. At first, the top-down perspective is a little unnerving, but you get used to it.

[MrAdventure]

BANGAI-O

PS - BANGAI-O, YUO HOMOS

[AChimp]

HUGO'S HOUSE OF HORRORS >:

http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Unfiled/Images/Hugo1.gif

[Zomboid]

Ah yes, the hugo series. I only had a shareware version of hugo 3 when I was a kid but played it a lot for some reason. Fun games.

[Generator86]

Jet Force Gemini kicked ass, but unfortunately it was often overlooked.

And since when is FF9 and Majora's Mask considered "underrated"? FF9 was hyped to all hell(deservedly) and Majora's Mask was the trump card for the N64 when the PS2 came out.

[Schimid]

There was this old game on the SNES called "E.V.O.: The Search For Eden."

Basically, you had a creature, and you could evolve it as you wished to give it fangs, a shell body, scales, whatever.

I used to think it sucked until I found out that there's actually a use for the Select button. :(

[CaptainBubba]

Paper Mario was without a doubt the single worst RPG I have ever played. I played it to the end of the game desperately hoping there was some party of it that might be as good as SMRPG, but all I got was kiddy paper bullshit.

Earthbound is the #1 underrated game of all time in my opinion. I just bought a new copy at Funco land 2 weeks ago because I broke my old one. I played through it again with just as much enjoyment as when I first played it, if not more. Its an enjoyable game with good characters and something lacking from most convetional RPGs: humor.

[timrpgland]

bah to Earthbound. A average RPG at best.

Paper Mario was a decent game. I enjoyed it. If you were expecting it to be a SMRPG2 then of course you would be let down.

[Zomboid]

bah to Earthbound. A average RPG at best.


There are people who get earthbound and there are people who don't. Tim, you just don't get it's awesomeness >:

[Rongi]

Battletoads and DoubleDragon >:

That game kicked so much ass and only a few people know about it :( >:

[timrpgland]

There are people who get earthbound and there are people who don't. Tim, you just don't get it's awesomeness

There isn't anything to get. It isn't anything special other than the fact that it's different and trys to be humorous. The game sucks otherwise and noone ever makes a valid point to credit its "greatness." It sure isn't up there with the best games or best rpgs.

[CrapOnAStick]

When FF9 hit the states it was kinda unknown suprisingly. I have my list:

Guilty Gear series
FFT
Ehrgeiz
Mystical Ninja Goemon
Mischeif Makers
Chameleon Twist
MOH:AA (plenty of people who DON'T play this >: )
Legend of Mana :rock

[Zomboid]

There are people who get earthbound and there are people who don't. Tim, you just don't get it's awesomeness

There isn't anything to get. It isn't anything special other than the fact that it's different and trys to be humorous. The game sucks otherwise and noone ever makes a valid point to credit its "greatness." It sure isn't up there with the best games or best rpgs.

It doesn't try to be funny, it is funny. It's quirky, it's colorful, it's fun. Most of all, it's different. It's not set in the middle ages (with magical flying machines and the like ;) ) and it's not like every single game before it. That's why I like it.

And yeah, it is up there with the best games or best rpgs for a lot of people.

[timrpgland]

:rolleyes

Earthbound = OVERRATED

:)

Like I said it does have being different going for it but that's about it. I just know I'd rather be playing something else.

[Rongi]

When FF9 hit the states it was kinda unknown suprisingly. I have my list

Yeah, thats exactly why everyone loves it :|

[timrpgland]

Flashback and OoTW are underrated.

I didn't think FFIX was all that great anyway. It was a good game though.

[Zomboid]

Tim, most people don't like earthbound, so it can't be overrated. There are hardcore fans and people who just like it, but there aren't big groups hailing it the greatest rpg of all time or anything.

[timrpgland]

And yeah, it is up there with the best games or best rpgs for a lot of people.

I call it overrated cause you guys are saying it is underrated and I have heard alot of praise for it on the boards in the past. We get it. You like it, I don't. It's a average game. :)

[Zomboid]

IF GAMES WERE RELIGIOUS CHARACTERS IT WOULD BE GOD >:

[timrpgland]

:)

[Toadie]

I think that most of the old "Point and Click" Adventure games are fairly underratted. When people think back to old games they always mention NES games or SNES or Gensis stuff. No one ever seems to say "Remeber the King's Quest games, they were great". Also as far as the Adventure games go, Torin's Passage was one of my favorites and not many have played it.

[Casman16]

Any Goemon game. The first one for the N64 was better than Zelda, IMO.

[the_dudefather]

maniac mansion, the original point and click, with multible endings, multible playable characters and mot importantly, fun!

i agree with harvest moon, especialy mary, my virual wife (help me)

eternal darkness, better than any new resident evil (and some of the old ones)

and in short: mafia, body harvest, dungeon keeper 2 and blood

[Toadie]

Actually, I don't fell that Eternal Darkness was underrated. It was a great game, it did get rave reviews, and it wasn't the next Resident Evil. In fact, it's not even really fair to compare ED to RE, as they are two entirely differant types of games. RE is scary, susspensful, and...well...scary. ED is more of a intriuging game and a great story, very UNlike Resident Evil, which has no compelling story to speak off. (Don't get me wrong thou, RE is still a great game...just it's nothing like ED, IMHO)

[James]

RE's story, during the games, may seem pretty thin. But when laid all out together, it's a very nice ongoing B-movie plot that's rather interesting.

[Zomboid]

The re games have a great backstory. The notes and things you can find to piece everything together just makes it more interesting.

[the_dudefather]

i love the characters and story surrunding the resident evil games, but some of the games are not as good.

[The Retro Kat]

Willy Beamish.

[James]

I saw the original live-action intro to RE the other day.

As good as the story is for the series, it would have been the BEST EVER if they kept the live actors.

And the girl who played Rebecca looks like this porn chick I've seen.

[Dimnos]

Obligatory bump because I want to hear what people have to say 5 years later.

[Fathom Zero]

I like Goemon. :|

[Guitar Woman]

EVO

[Ant10708]

Eternal Darkness

[Guitar Woman]

I didn't like Eternal Darkness. :\

[Phoenix Gamma]

Mischeif Makers

Fucking beat me to it :(

I guess I'll mention my other favorite N64 game with an MM, Majora's Mask. Probably my favorite 3D Zelda. Fuck your Ocarina of Time.

007: Everything or Nothing never gets talked about, either. It's easily the best singleplayer Bond game ever made, with an original story by one of the Bond writers, and awesome acting by Pierce Brosnan and William Defoe (Heidi Klum, Shannon Elizabeth, and Maya all lend their voice and appearance too). The gameplay takes everything great about Bond (sneaking, hand to hand, gadgets, vehicles, and "oh shit" moments) instead of just having a floating hand holding a gun. Co-Op was fun too, but multiplayer was really lame.

[HappyHamster]

Anyone remember that game BaseWars? Been years since I played that, but it was fun back then.

[Neen]

EVO

I would agree if it wasn't so easy to cheat the whole damn game.

'Evolve a useless horn to regain all your HP, devolve it to regain HP, rinse & repeat until boss is dead.'

Space Station Silicon Valley is fucking awesome.

[Zomboid]

:rolleyes

Like I said it does have being different going for it but that's about it. I just know I'd rather be playing something else.
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS, TIM? :D

[WhiteRat]

It was mentioned 5 years ago but Maniac Mansion for NES. I still find myself playing that game every few months or so.

Also the Bust-A-Move series, mainly BAM 2 for Saturn. Game will suck me in for hours.

[pac-man]

Pitball.

[WhiteRat]

Also forgot the Mutant League series and General Chaos for the Genesis.

EA really needs to make an update to the Mutant League games. They could be done in the style of NFL Blitz and I would still be happy.

[pac-man]

Agreed. I remember hearing something about an update to the mutant league games a few years ago, but nothing came of it :(

[Fathom Zero]

Mutant League, fo' sho'.

[pac-man]

I don't know if Mutant League games are underrated per se... everybody seems to have fond memories of it and wants new ones.

[There's A Bat]

The Firemen for the SNES.. Great game.

[Neen]

Blackthorne.

[There's A Bat]

Blackthorne.

The best thing about Blackthorne was being able to shoot behind you. It doesn't really impress me now, but 7 year old me was amazed. Such a badass feature. Of course I killed all the shackled prisoner guys this way.

[OxBlood]

Hmm...Burntime?

[Jeff The Ninja]

Rally X. Every single Namco Museum has this game, yet i have never seen anyone play it. Its a fucking blast.

Ninja Five-O. Its Shinobi mixed with Bionic Commando with a whole lot of awesome.

The Playstation Spiderman Games. Far better than the movie games.

Mortal Kombat Anthologies: Sub-Zero. The playstation version is good. N64, not so much.

Fire Pro Wrestling Returns. Worth the 20 bux for the edit modes alone. Plus you can do the Doomsday Device. Which is sweet.

[WhiteRat]

I don't know if Mutant League games are underrated per se... everybody seems to have fond memories of it and wants new ones.

In my experience most people I know have never heard of the series.

[pac-man]

I know a handful people who remember both games, but it seems to me that Mutant League Football is fairly well known. Harder to find is someone who remembers the animated series.

master of magic is way underrated, even if it was retardedly buggy when it came out. patched version is incredibly addictive and fun and i really, really wish it would get a (good) sequel but it ain't fucking happening

[HappyHamster]

Alundra.
Ive never heard too many people talk about it. Or Project Wonder J, but that game is iffy. The whole Gaia series was nice too (Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma (thats been said though).

[darkvare]

i love how some "underrated" games appear in every underrated thread

If you liked the mutant league you should look into the Blood Bowl video game. There is the old one and they are coming out with a new one in '09

[Guitar Woman]

Guilty Gear :(

[HappyHamster]

How is Guilty Gear underrated? Whenever I hear anyone criticize a fighting game, they (whoever it is) compares it to either Guilty Gear or Street Fighter. I thought Last Blade would be more underrated than Guilty Gear...

[Dimnos]

DoA is the best fighting game. Hands down

[Guitar Woman]

Fighting games are shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Guilty Gear and Smash Bros are the only ones that are even remotely good.

[Guitar Woman]

Oh, and Shaq Fu.

[Dimnos]

Oh, and Shaq Fu.


:lol:lol:lol

[HappyHamster]

What about Dinosaurs for Hire?

[OxBlood]

Shadowrun for the SNES. I know there was one on the Mega Drive, but I never played that until this year so I don´t know enough about it.

The only decent SR-Games...no wait...the ONLY SR-Videogames. This new one didn´t count. Do something with the goddamn license already! It would be so great to play a new Shadowrun game...so much potential.

[Dimnos]

Hell yea! Both Shadowrun games kicked ass! They do need to make a new one aside from that crap fest that recently came out. As much as they are all into character customization these days, they could have a field day with Shadowrun.

[Fathom Zero]

I enjoyed the new Shadowrun. I couldn't care less about how accurate it was in terms of the universe, but as a game, it was excellent. The only things keeping it from being truly great in my mind are the lack of variety in gametypes and goddamn horrible connection issues.

[Ant10708]

Gex: Enter the Gecko

[Guitar Woman]

Gex: Enter the Gecko

FUCK YEAH

[Neen]

Gex was the worse thing to happen since Bubsy. I hope he's rotting in video game hell.

[HappyHamster]

Gex was the worse thing to happen since Bubsy. I hope he's rotting in video game hell.

Hey, piss off!
Oh wait ... I actually loved Bubsy more...

[OxBlood]

I enjoyed the new Shadowrun. I couldn't care less about how accurate it was in terms of the universe, but as a game, it was excellent. The only things keeping it from being truly great in my mind are the lack of variety in gametypes and goddamn horrible connection issues.

True, the game was actually pretty good, the problem is, that it was a waste of the Shadowrun-Licence. They could have called it "Futureblast" or whatever, woudn´t have made a difference.

[Nick]

I enjoyed Shadowrun for the SNES.

[pac-man]

The first Gex was the best one.

[OxBlood]

I enjoyed Shadowrun for the SNES.

Glad to hear it, not so many people over here who like it even though we SEEM to be into Cyberpunk quite a bit. Don´t know why I think that, but I somehow know it´s true *shrugs*

Anyway. I want a new, big, glorious Shadowrun Game with an epic storyline, clever design and excellent character-systems. Also, it should be 60 hours long.

[Dimnos]

Also, it should be 70+ hours long.
:)

[JediScum]

Underrated? How about "Wolverine's Revenge" on PS2? Somewhat challenging if yer into the mutant/X-men/WeaponX brouhaha. PLUS it has Mark Hamill doing the voice of Logan!

And if you find it used for, like 3 dollars, you cannot go wrong!

[HappyHamster]

Yume Nikki, even though its not a game you can buy at a store (as far as I know at least..)
It wasn't to involving, but had enough to grab your attention for a while. The areas you explore look extremely nice with all things considered, they felt just like a dream (which is the point, right?). Even though there isn't a whole lot of action or really anything to talk to, the game was still full of interesting characters (Motoko, the five armed girl, or that mute pianist).
It also made you think a little, as the game gave you no real hints.
Only complaint was how big some of the other areas were, that got annoying.
And the ending isn't deep.
(and theres nothing scary about fucking Uboa, goddammit)

[Grislygus]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC4UNL3oDBA

You actually like that

[Grislygus]

So it's basically a freeware version of that one shitty Playstation game where you wandered around dreams and bumped into things

[Sam]

wtf is this shit

[pac-man]

That game looks terrible.

[Grislygus]

So apparently, at one point the game requires you to stab a chick and flip a light switch five billion times, leave the room, come back in, and repeat over and over until something happens. That's a great thinking puzzle right there

Oh, and once you finish working your ass off, wandering around and doing random, nonsensical shit the main character jumps off a building and dies.

That was a spoiler!

[Sam]

STUPID

[HappyHamster]

I never said it was some awesome game where you go off on some quest to collect the five orbs or to find out that youre part of a dying breed of an ancient race or anything like that... its just a simple little game that isnt exactly like every other game out there.
It isnt an FPS thats played exactly like every other FPS with one or two little bells and whistles... its not a generic RPG made by Square-Enix... its not some other game from some other bastard company... its just a simple little thing.

And yes, I did like it...even if triggering certain events took to much time.

[Grislygus]

magical quests for five orbs, huh :lol

[Supafly345]

It looks like schizophrenia the video game. You don't take a shit in fruit salad just to be new and interesting, and you don't make videogame cancer for the same reasons.

[Fathom Zero]

That video game looks like it could appeal to my masochistic tendancies. I like it.

[Chojin]

f-zero gx. i don't know anyone who has ever even played it, but it's deliciously hard and complicated. also runs in progressive scan and widescreen and looks gorgeous on a big tv.

burnout 3. never heard of it before but it's crazy fun to play with friends, taking turns at the tour mode.

Gun Valkyrie

[Zhukov]

Oh shit, scratch that last one: Jet Force Gemini.

[Fathom Zero]

EVERYONE loved Jet Force Gemini.

[stevetothepast]

ya jet force gemini is about as under appreciated as goldeneye

[Guitar Woman]

Jet Force Gemini is under-appreciated for a good reason

it sucks

[stevetothepast]

I think it sucks as well, but everyone I used to know with an N64 had a hard on for that game for some reason.

[Fathom Zero]

I loved it. I loved the exploration and the cool co-op feature that my friend and I discovered by accident.

[Zhukov]

Eh, well I thought it was underrated. I hadn't heard of it before I bought it, and never heard of it again after that. But I was the only one in my village with a N64, so...


Plus, I loved it. There was so much to do; racing, flying, cutting off and collecting peoples heads, and yeah, awesome co-op.

[Babs]

Gun Nac, Shatterhand, and Crystalis for NES. I remember seeing these games just not getting the attention they should have during their time. Crystalis in my opinion is one of the best RPG's I have ever played, making Zelda seem a little less inferior (no offense to the green tunic wearing bitch ass protagonist).

[King Hadas]

Parasite Eve 2 - Parasite Eve is under appreciated because of lame writing, frustratingly swampy movement through low-quality pre-rendered backgrounds and the meshing of the two genres is uneven, less SquareRPG and more Survival horror please. Parasite Eve 2 is under appreciated because it's attached to Parasite Eve. You can just skip the first one if you'd like but the second one is not to be missed. It's easily one of the best games on the PSX.

[Dimnos]

Crystalis in my opinion is one of the best RPG's I have ever played, making Zelda seem a little less inferior (no offense to the green tunic wearing bitch ass protagonist).

Wow I actually agree with Pancakes on something. I dont know about EVER played but it was freaking awesome and probably the best RPG on the NES.

[OxBlood]

I'm digging it.

This magic moment :love

Soldier Of Fortune 3 (or SOF: Payback).

Terrible acting, awful plot, over the top gore, suicidal AI, racism and embarassing puns. It's like playing some cheesy action flick from the 80's. Not a great game, but I secretly enjoyed it all the way through.

It requires a couple of small mods to improve the single player (iron sights, a few new guns and some gore tweaking), but I strongly recommend it, if camp humor is your thing.

[Chojin]

they made a third SOF game?

[Guitar Woman]

Ok, Doom 3 is more fun than I first thought

[Zhukov]

Yeah, I heard a lot of people bagging out Doom 3 for being too dark and boring, but I honestly found the darkness rather scary, in a not that scary because it's a damn game sort of way.

[Guitar Woman]

I hate not being able to see anything, but it really doesn't hinder you that much.

I'm really in it to blow shit up. There is a lot of that.

I always thought the first Blitzkrieg games were the most underrated RTS's ever. My fave was BK Stalingrad

[Zhukov]

I only ever played the first, it was fantastic though. Man, there are a lot of games getting mentioned that I wish I still knew where they were.

[Wiffles]

The first was OK. But I found the engine quite not up there yet. The best engine IMO was BK Stalingrad, your units have longer vision range, and the infantry can actually stand up against tanks and not get mowed down. They actually last quite a great deal since they use the terrain for their advantage. And enemy counter artillery barrages arent as accurate which means being caught in an artillery strike wont fully decimate your units ^.^

Then again, your artillery isnt that accurate either so you cant win battles with artillery like in the previous games, which means you have to engage the enemy. Which is cool because you have to strategize ^^

Shadowman and Illbleed for the dreamcast, two scary ass games, one american and the other japanese. If any of you can get your hands on either, I'd highly recommend it.

[Guitar Woman]

Illbleed :lol

I thought people only played that for how silly it was?

[Zhukov]

Hey Wiffles, did you ever play the Sudden Strike series? It was similar, but I think I liked it better.

[Wiffles]

Yeah I played Sudden strike, it was great, but wasnt that tactically involving IMO. Still I thought that was more fun compared to BK. I must admit the later iterations of BK ie stalingrad got very drawn out and tedious. But I like the tactical aspect of it
Plus I never saw another RTS that portrayed urban warfare so well ^^

[stevetothepast]

magic sword for snes. It's a great game that is always overlooked, so you can find it cheap on ebay.

Illbleed :lol

It literally is the strangest game I've ever played but I loved every second of it.
