Kick ass games no one knows about

[Comrade Rocket]

Have you ever play a game that kicked so much ass it hurt. But know one has heard of it. It makes me sad because I have played many games like this. One was RAD for the PS2. That game kicks ASS. It was about giant robots... and anything with giant robots rule.

[Rongi]

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[Mockery]

Shut up Rongi.

Anyway, yeah there's a few games I really like that not many people I know have played.

-Captain Quazar
-Loaded
-Subspace

That's just off the top of my head... I'm sure there's others...

[Rongi]

Shut up Rongi.

:( I'm sorry.

Uh, there's this one game I like for the PS1 that no one, or at least no one I know, knows about. It's called Threads Of Fate, cool game.

[Rongi]

Loaded

Is that the game with the clowns on the front and they all have guns :/?

[mew barios]

demon's crest is awesome :o

some people have even said it's better than sotn :O

i disagree :( but still. for how good it is, it's amazing how few people have even heard of it. :(

[MrAdventure]

Demon's Crest was pretty fun but not that fun.

I always found Light Crusader on the Genesis to be pretty damn fun, though I guess it felt like crap to a lot of people. I was mostly in it for the music.

I also thought Ranger X would've been more popular, though it was at the time it came out, it just didn't get the respect it deserved later on.

[Ninjavenom]

that Police LAPD psx game was always fun with my friends.

[kinot]

Age of Wonders was pretty underrated but I had a blast with that game. It is just about good as X-Com. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is pretty damn fun too.

[Anonymous]

One was RAD for the PS2. That game kicks ASS. It was about giant robots... and anything with giant robots rule.

For future reference, when talking about a game that people might not know about, you probably shouldn't use an abbreviation. It sounds like someone made a sequel to Totally Rad.

Anyway, I haven't found that many stores that have copies of Robot Alchemical Drive. It does sound interesting, though.

[ItalianStereotype]

i remember totally rad.....that was a great game, i think. it was a long time ago and i dont really recall all that much about it.

a good strategy game not many have played is europa universalis 2. i am also surprised by how many people dont play mechwarrior.

[Les Waste]

I thought Hunter: The Reckoning was one of the best games I've played in a long time, but most people I know haven't even heard of it. And of those who have played it, all of them hated it. :(

God, I fucking love that game :(

[Zero Signal]

RAD stands for "Robotic Alchemic Drive" I believe. I played the demo and it was decent. The controls definitely take getting used to.

[Zomboid]

The Haunting starring polterguy isn't very well known among even classic game groups, which is very surprising since it's such a good game. Ranger X is another really good one that not that many people have heard of. Zombies ate my neighbors is kinda well known, but I rarely meet anyone offline that's heard of it.

[Ihach]

bobo, hunter was a kickass game, you get four people in there and just go nuts. crazy music and zombies galore, chainsaws, and a priest with a fuckin cross sword! you cant beat that!

[Les Waste]

Slaughtering zombies in Hunter is so satisfying. It's like popping bubble wrap or something. I rented it and beat it multiple times, but I still might buy it.

[Captain Robo]

Shooting Power Troopers with the Super Missile in Metroid Prime is more satisfying, as they fly 20 feet away and get stuck on the ceiling.

And Rongi got bitchslapped. :love

[Tropical]

When metal gear solid first came out, nobody in my area played it :'(

[kinot]

When METAL GEAR came out on the MSX. Nobody played it

[Rongi]

When metal gear solid first came out, nobody in my area played it :'(

Why the hell not :/? Psycho Mantis fucking ruled :O

[Rongi]

And Rongi got bitchslapped.

:blah Actually I just told someone to shut up for no reason and Rog told me to stop. I don't really call that a "bitch slap".

Another great game no one's heard about is Dynamite Heady for the genisis. That game fucking owned :love.

[CrapOnAStick]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Sure it's a Greatest Hit, but if you ask the majority of gamers out there they won't know what the fuck you're talking about.

I also remember playing this game where you were a duck, but the thing was you were ELECTRIC and had to get to the end of the stage before you ran out of batteries. You had a lightning kick sort of attack too.

[Helm]

CAPTAIN BLOOD

[MrAdventure]

Maybe we should just merge the RogueLike thread into this one. >:

[Ninjavenom]

Awesome icon, Rongi. No one really played that Pink Panther snes game, or Balloon Fight on NES much around here. Also, if my computer didn't want to be gay, i could probably tell you about how the MSX game was. Yay for roms. :P

[Helm]

Heh, true MrAdventure. Nobody knows what ADOM is when I mention it. But I'm trying to rectify this grevious injustice by addicting all my computer-having friends to the genre.


Also, nobody remembers the old C64 game BARBARIAN/DEATH SWORD, so I decided to remake it with full internet support for bouts/tournaments.

OLD:

http://www.sylpher.com/helm/doomsword3.gif

NEW:

http://www.sylpher.com/helm/doomsword2.gif

It's decapitation time all over again!



Oh, if you had a c64 or played games on a friends and you haven't played Barbarian, you fucking suck.

[Girrvusensu]

It was like earthworm jim mixed in a vat of BADASS and gore.

[kinot]

The MSX version of Metal Gear was better than the NES version because:

- You actually get to FIGHT Metal Gear (Unlike the NES one, you get blew up a giant monitor/television screen to prevent the Metal Gear from being built)
- The original music was there
- The NES had a screwed up intro. (On NES) You see a plane dropping off about 3-4 paratroopers and during the game you know NOTHING about the other soldiers that has been dropped from the plane. The MSX one starts off with Snake climbing up a fence after just taking a little swim.[/list]

[timrpgland]

Hmmm, off the top of my head....

From people Iv'e talked to.

Seiken Densetsu 3
Paladin's Quest
Front Mission series
Spike McFang
Sorcerer's Kingdom
Mischief Makers

Sadly even Rock n Roll Racing and Conker's Bad Fur Day. :(

[CastroMotorOil]

World Cup Soccer on the NES, only soccer game that allows you to basically kill the opposition through repeated checking.

[Les Waste]

Rock n' Roll Racing is one of my favorite racing games :(

I know a lof of people who don't even know there is a Star Fox game for N64, but I love Star Fox 64.

[timrpgland]

Definately, Rock n Roll Racing kicks ass.

Star Fox 64 is awesome. Also had great use of the rumble pack. They couldv'e made multiplayer better (but I was suprised/glad they had it at all). Fighting on foot was fun though.

[GnrySgtHartman]

I thought superman on N64 was pretty bad-ass Oh and I also thought chameleon twist and glover had good taste too. Also I thought Daikatana was awesome.

[Rongi]

Awesome icon, Rongi.

Thanks :). Iori is one of my favorite SNK characters :o

[timrpgland]

Marco is better :(

[Bennett]

Buck Rogers for Sega Genesis was an old fave of mine

[Thetawaves]

Hmmm, off the top of my head....

From people Iv'e talked to.

Seiken Densetsu 3
Paladin's Quest
Front Mission series
Spike McFang
Sorcerer's Kingdom
Mischief Makers

Sadly even Rock n Roll Racing and Conker's Bad Fur Day. :(

I :love Mischief Makers. I had to buy that game twice, because I sold it once :/ I had a Rom for Seiken Densetsu 3, but it stopped working one day >: And I played Conker's BFD at a friend's once, and I have to say, it was pretty funny. Other than that, not too many people like ANY Fighter or RPG by me, cept Rongi. Then again, my town is pretty lame. :(

[timrpgland]

Yeah, Mischief Makers is highly underrated. "Shake" "Shake" :)

SD3 is awesome. One of Square's finest, if not the finest. Too bad it never made it over here. The translation is pretty good though.

Conker is awesome. One of RARE's best games. Aside from being funny, it's fun to play.

[Thetawaves]

Yeah, I forgot to add Mystical Ninja Goemon for Nintendo :love
Damn, that game was fucked up

[timrpgland]

Mystical Ninja for the SNES was badass.

[Rongi]

Mischief Makers was fucking awesome :love. I wish I still had that game :(.

[Mockery]

Rock & Roll Racing is a lot of fun, and you'll be happy to know they're re-releasing it on the Gameboy Advance. :)

[whoreable]

that game reminded me of galaxy 5000 on the nes, that was a pretty cool game too.

Vermont Marijuana Dispensaries (http://vermont.dispensaries.org/)

[MrAdventure]

Ooo yeah, Blizzard re-releasing Rock 'n' Roll Racing, Blackthorne, and Lost Vikings... I have to wonder how much they're planning on charging for them though.

I HAVE TO REMENTION SNAKE RATTLE AND ROLL ALSO. :)

[StRsCrEaM1090]

Blaster master, crystalis, astyanax, and the teenage mutant ninja turtles game for the nes all owned. allso super mario rpg, and kirby's super star for the snes kicked much ass. oh and lets not forget the donkey kong trilogy for snes either.

[MrAdventure]

Everything but Astyanax and Crystalis were overwhelmingly popular in your list. >:

[StRsCrEaM1090]

for my area they weren't, i honestly though no one ever played blaster master

[Ninjavenom]

Astyanax was awesome.

[mew barios]

astyanax had some EXCELLENT O..O! dialogue.

[Zomboid]

Mystical ninja starring goemon ruled. I didn't ever beat it though :(

[timrpgland]

Rock & Roll Racing is a lot of fun, and you'll be happy to know they're re-releasing it on the Gameboy Advance

Cool. If it's the same, I doubt I'll get it. It's so good as it is on the SNES.

Lost Vikings was badass. I love the ending. :) Olaf was a monster in Rock n' Roll Racing

[Mockery]

Yeah I really want that game for the SNES, but can't seem to find it anywhere (Except eBay, and I'm not payin 20 bux for it)

[FS]

World Cup on NES :rock I suppose it's not that fun to play when your country sucks as bad at soccer as the US does (HA HA HA), but over here it's popular enough to make me love the game. It was really satisfying to beat and kick the fuck out of your opponents >:

I wish Tecmo had made more sports games. I mean, dodgeball isn't really a sport :(

Me and my brother were also the only people in the universe to enjoy Stonekeep (SHUT UP HELM SHUT UP :tear).

[CrapOnAStick]

Mystical ninja starring goemon ruled. I didn't ever beat it though :(

The last boss is really easy. I still loved fighting as a fuckin' robot. I even remember its name:

[center:76fd190631]:loveIMPACT!:love[/center:76fd190631]

[Systemz]

Firepower 2000 for SNES. It was 2p simultaneous Gradius-style, but one guy was a jeep and the other a chopper - they both had advantages and disadvantages, but the craziest thing was how incredibly insane the powerups were - instead o fjust collecting the obligatory floating powerup to crank up your machine gun or whatever, you had like 10 different weapons you could cycle through with L and R - shit like flamethrowers and lasers and this wierd boomerang thingy that would hit one thing, fry it, and multiply by 3 to the point where you could fill the screen with these insane boomerangs that would wipe shit out crazy fast. It was harder than beat hell, but it was so much fun since 2p simultaneous games for the SNES were mysteriously few and far between.

Also, while a lot of folks do play it, my vote is for Max Payne as probably the single coolest videogame ever made that didn't blow up into some massive CS insanity - if they had built in multiplayer, that game could have stopped the world from turning.

[thenoor15]

Not many people i know have played Lufia 2. That game kicked ass, it was so damn fun. It was in the shadows of all the Final fantasies on SNES, so its kinda sad that not many people got to experience it. they're making a sequel to it on GBA though, hopefully it wont suck, but i would rather they just put Lufia 2 on GBA. That would be awesome. I love the GBA, but it needs 2 more face buttons.

[Systemz]

I was in PoliSci and I thought of another - Chrono Trigger. I seriously think it beat down on Earthbound like a jimmy hack, but it seems to have been lost in the shuffle.

[JesusFishSticks]

Rock & Roll Racing is a lot of fun, and you'll be happy to know they're re-releasing it on the Gameboy Advance. :)
Sweet jesus! I 'm gonna have to buy some batteries for that thing.

Grim Fandango is just about the best computer game I've played, yet noone I know has even heard about it, so I give it out for peoples birthdays and shit.

But a real big one that gets no credit is SAMBA DE AMIGO
http://sega.gamerweb.com/news/0400/tgs/sda07.JPG
god I love that game....
I have not scored at parties so many times because of that damn game, but I've still had a good time.

[JesusFishSticks]

I was in PoliSci and I thought of another - Chrono Trigger. I seriously think it beat down on Earthbound like a jimmy hack, but it seems to have been lost in the shuffle.

man, I dunno what you're talking about. Well, actualy I do, but you shouldn't be talking like that. Those are my two favorite snes games, and making them fight each other will make me cry. They are both incredibly bad ass, but each for their different reasons. I have yet to play a better serious rpg than crono trigger, and I doubt that I ever will. Earthbound, however, has brought ore joy to me than anythign ever before and since.

[Systemz]

Actually, I have to agree. Chrono is the superior of the FF series - hell, even the new ones. Earthbound was an assload of fun, too, but I think I am forever tainted by a certain friend who went as Ness to a costume party and nobody knew who he was supposed to be and he got laughed at all night. I was Batman - I took the safe route. I even put batsymbols on my car (a 1990 Tercel - represent the grey triangle of death)

[Girrvusensu]

Waku waku7, crazy fun shit.

[timrpgland]

Chrono Trigger is EXTREMELY popular. Doesn't really belong in this thread. It's a great game of course.

[Systemz]

Chrono was really popular - but maybe I just got out of RPGs so I lost contact. When I played it on emulator I nearly creamed my jeans - it brought it all back.

[D3k]

Kurushi (http://www.absolute-playstation.com/api_review/rkarus.htm) on the PSX. A puzzle game where you had to mark squares then detonate them when a block rolled over it. The idea was to clear all the blocks before the fell off the edge of the platform or before you got crushed. Every block missed caused a row of the platform to fall away and every detonated black block also caused a row to fall. Hard as hell in the final stage, especially since the game wouldn't let you continue on the Final stage; you had to repeat the 8th.

[Helm]

Stonekeep

That game fucking sucked. And I even payed for it. Good god. Play some Eye Of The Beholder or Ultima Underworld to see the difference.

[Zomboid]

Earthbound is the greatest fucking rpg of all time, along with ff3/ff6. I love both and they're different.

[CrapOnAStick]

http://www.vgmuseum.com/pics5/Socket%20-%20Time%20Dominator%20(GS).gif

This is what I was talking about. It's called Socket. Now I want a Sega Genesis :(

I can't get the FF6 battle music out of my head :/

Edit: What's wrong with the image thing?

[Lynchie]

How about the arcade games, Alien Vs. Predator was a great game, much better than the SNES version.

[Spectre X]

have you guys ever heard of a game called Sanitarium? it's about this guy who lost his memory, and gets teleported out of the Sanitarium he was in by some statue, just before it blew up, and he lands in this weird town with mutant children, and he has to stop this giant plant from changing the kids into plants too. then you end up in another sanitarium, and that's the farthest i've ever gotten. if you guys haven't heard of it, it belongs in this thread. great game, really creepy, and difficult. great graphics too. fortunately, you couldn't die. well, as far as I know.

[Kunio]

Incredible Crisis. No one played in on my zone. Or Bishi Bashi.

[Zomboid]

I was looking for that for a while and eventually just gave up. It looked pretty good though. I like fucked up games like that.

[timrpgland]

Yeah, Alien vs Predator the arcade game is pretty good.

Flashback and Out of this World are great games too.

[Lynchie]

Sanitarium is one fucked up game, the first place you visit is being run by some huge plant thing, and all of the children are deformed. Plus, they killed all of their parents and put them in the school and then boarded it up. You also played a game of hide and seek against some kids, and one of them is dead, so you have to dig her up. It's one fucked game. Strange ending too. Has anyone played any games in the Fallout series? Those games are great. Supposedly the Punisher arcade game was great.

[timrpgland]

Punisher is a good game. Now that I think about it, better than Alien vs Predator.

[Zbu Manowar]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors for the SNES. Now that rocked on so many levels....wish it had become a bigger hit.

[Lynchie]

EarthBound for the SNES was just a great game, I don't know why, but it just was. Chrono Trigger is the best RPG of all time though, although I've never played it. Did anyone ever play Bad Milk for the PC though, it looked like one messed up game.

[Zomboid]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors for the SNES. Now that rocked on so many levels....wish it had become a bigger hit.
Damn right. I'd post my animation of zeke turning into the blue monster but I can't find the link :(

Out of this world is a really unique game. I never beat it though :(

[Anonymous]

Punisher is a good game. Now that I think about it, better than Alien vs Predator.

No way. There was so much more stuff to get in AvP (weapons, food, powerups, etc). Plus, the special weapon added a nice dynamic to the game, not to mention all the different special moves.

[Helm]

OOTW unknown? Golly, it must have been a while. It was all the rage, over a number of platforms a few years back (not that I think about it, more like a lot of years back). I love it, I've finished it, too. Flashback is equally good, in my oppinion. And in Paul Cuisset's oppinion to :P

[MrAdventure]

OotW and Flashback were great, though most of my fun with them was on the masochistic "let's see if this kills me" level of gameplay.

[timrpgland]

Nah, I liked Punisher better. Both got boring but seemed like I had more fun playing Punisher.

Anyway, Captain Commando rules em all.

OOTW and Flashback are pretty well known but you never know. I prolly liked Flashback better, overall.

Hmm wierd, it doesn't show this post as the last post in this thread... and it didn't count on my total. Strange.

[timrpgland]

*bump*

"Mission X" and "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: The Treasure of Tarmin" for Intellivision.

droppin the old school

[Cybernetico]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors for the SNES. Now that rocked on so many levels....wish it had become a bigger hit.

I loved that game too, but it was so annoying. The sound effects and all. It was so 80's :)

Another hit (if no one posted it yet, I don't feel like looking) was Capcom's Saturday Night Slam Masters, easily in my top 3 snes games, next to MMX and Super Metroid

[pissed off salesman]

I really enjoyed the texas chainsaw massacre for atari 2600 it was probably the first and only adults only atari game. Also donkey kong country 2's music kicked ass. I really enjoyed the opening theme, and the k. rool boss fight music

[Cap'n Crunch]

Did any one ever play the game Whacked!? It's a fairly easy game but it has a whole bunch of harder difficulties like Halo. It's only on X-Box buy it supports the live thing. There are a whole bunch of funny commercials and characters. I suggest you go check it out. :)

[Comrade Rocket]

I just remembered this really twisted game i played a long time ago. It was called Bad Mojo. It was about a scientist who came up with a way to kill all the cockroches in the world but before he can use it he becomes a cockroach himself. It was just down right gross at some points, but fun as hell.

Another game was Galapagos (think thats how its spelled). There was this little arachnid robot that you didn't control, but you controled the enviroment around it. One of the first games to use AI (i think)

Both of these are on PC

[Skulhedface]

Xenogears for PSone. It might be popular NOW (I can't find a damn copy ANYWHERE, and I'm not paying $50 on eBay for it) but back when I first had it, it seemed like NO one else liked it in Houston OR in New Orleans. Hmm.

Arcade games? The Simpsons, for one (I only say that because it was HARD to find around here) and the King Of Fighters series. Mmmm, Mai Shiranui :love

The little Freddy Krueger guy was pretty cool too.

As far as Zombies Ate My Neighbors, there WAS a sequel to it (and it DID have Zeke and Julie in it)

It's called Ghoul Patrol.

And why the hell can I not find the ROM for the original Splatterhouse?!?

[Zomboid]

Ghoul Patrol sucked ass, and I played a game with a freddy krueger type once. It also had a guy with a giant sword. I can't remember what the fuck it's called now though. I do remember beating the shit outta my friend with freddy though :)

[Skulhedface]

Samurai Shodown?

[Zomboid]

Samurai Shodown?

Doubtful. If the old gif from mock's sig is from samurai showdown, it's definitely not that. It was like tekken, only with cool characters.

[Jixby PhiIIips]

when your gay, your gay. and im gay. and EVERYONE knows about that

[Tree]

Crystalis (sp?) for NES. It was an adventure/RPG, similar in gameplay to Zelda. Awesome game except I could never find the pyramid in the end with the last boss.

[timrpgland]

Crystalis was very good. Popular around my area though. Everyone has played it.

[Skulhedface]

Getting back to the other post..

Was the "Freddy Krueger" guy you were talking about green-skinned? If so, it IS Samurai Shodown.

[MrAdventure]

READ HIS POST AGAIN. 3-D NOT 2-D.

[Skulhedface]

alright, alright, but remember:

Samurai Shodown had (at last recollection) at least 3 sequels. Wasn't one of those 3-D? And since when does SNK drop some characters to add new ones? They'd have had all the other characters in it and THEN new ones.

Neither of us is right or wrong. Yet.

[MrAdventure]

STFU SAMURAI SHOWDOWN 1,2,3,4 ALL 2-D

I wasn't trying to prove you wrong you fucking cunt, I was trying to pull your head out of your ass.

[Skulhedface]

I gotta love how Mr. Adventure and Chojin turn every pleasant thread into "STFU NEWBIE"

Looks like someone needs some Xanax. Or just a mild surgical procedure. A good proctologist can take care of that stick for you.

[MrAdventure]

LOL UR BART SIMPSON GIF ROX :D

Super Dodge Ball for NES. Nobody can seem to remember that game at all around here, but I'd rent that game at least once every week or two back when I was a kid. I'm not sure if it's considered an obscure game or not.

Yeah, no one around here remembers it. Except for the flash animation we had for the intro page a while back. And the rom hack review based off of it. And the review on the classic games page.

[Generator86]

I meant in the city I live in, not this site.

[James]

HEY HAVE YOU GUYS EVER HEARD OF MARIO BROTHERS THAT GAME IS NEVER HEARD OF BY PEOPLE AND IT IS GOOD.

Seriously, you guys are naming WAY too many well-known games.

And Mystical Ninja starring Goemon was really kickass. As good as, if not better than, Ocarina of Time.

Moving on, a lot of people overlook Harvest Moon. If any of you know what it is, and don't like it, stop. The game is better than you would ever think. I know some people are turned off by "farming sim," but it's one of the best series I've ever played.

Also, I don't think Clock Tower gets enough credit. The 3rd one's finally coming out soon. It's a survival horror game, where you're being chased by Scissorman. Unlike Resident Evil, though, you aren't all badass and shooting monsters. It's like a horror movie, where you have to run and hide, and occasionally try to take him down long enough to get away. I rented the original once, found my friend decapitated, ran from Scissorman, went the wrong way, and got killed. Didn't play it again because I was scared. :(

Oh, and you guys need to tell a little bit about the games (like I did). I might be tempted to go try out some of these games if I knew what they were.

[timrpgland]

I love Harvest Moon. Own Harvest Moon (SNES), Harvest Moon 64 (N64), one of the GB ones, and Harvest Moon: STH (PS2).

My favorite is the 64 version.

I didn't like the PS2 version. I'm just waiting for Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life for GC and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town (?) for GBA.

[James]

The PS2 one was simpler than the other ones, which would make it a great choice for those who wanna try it out.

[Anonymous]

Clock tower and my overactive imagination were responsible for my only panic attack

[Zomboid]

I've played the harvest moon for snes a lot, and I used to rent the 64 one a lot. I once played for like 6 hours straight without realizing it. Very addictive game. I heard the ps2 one blows ass.

Tim: Is there really gonna be one for gcn? If so, what's the release date? I might have to get a gcn just for that.

[timrpgland]

The GC one comes Fall 2003 Iv'e heard.

It looks like it's going to be awesome. Keeping away from what made the PS2 one bad.

[James]

I liked the PS2 one. It was more quest oriented with 9 different endings. It's definitely worth checking out. I was disappointed in its shortness though.

[Milkman Dan]

I always loved E.V.O. for the snes. I mean whats cooler than evolving wierd dinosaurs.

Also I love dodge ball. I still have a copy and can beat the shit out of anyone.

[Sketch33]

No idea if anyone considers these "popular" or not, but I really enjoyed 'Fatal Frame' (back before anything was said about porting it to the XBox) and 'ICO' on the PS2, and a likely little known game called 'Walker' on the Amiga. In that you were a walker style mech. You would move left and right with the arrow keys and aim your head with the mouse. The object was to blow away all of the small soldiers, tanks and helicopters that would attack you. Once you cleared the area you walk off to the next where there would be more to fight. It was quite repetitive, but the soldiers exploded in a very satifying way, and at the time there was nothing else like it.

[Lynchie]

what about Shogo for the PC? Did anyone play that? 1st person mech game.

[Zomboid]

what about Shogo for the PC? Did anyone play that? 1st person mech game.
Yeah, bought it for like 3$ Canadian at a store me and my friends hung out at. A bunch of em didn't work so they were all cheap. I got a working one though. It's not bad, but blood is better >:

[Lynchie]

Yeah, the Blood games were fun, especially blowing peoples heads off. The Fallouts were great, great games. I can't think of many more though. X-Com's were fun, but I could never get them to work.

[Spectre X]

did anyone ever hear of Evolva? it's a game where you control a team of 4 genetically altered supersoldiers called "Genohunters". it's really cool, casue when they kill stuff, they can absorb it's genetic material, and alter their bodies to include new weapons and stuff. it rocks, and you have to fight this fucking big planetary parasite. I love that game.

[Lynchie]

What system was it for, I definitely want to find that game.

[Spectre X]

it's for the PC.

[ArrowX]

lol If you payed $3 canadian for shogo you were fucked I got mine fer .99cents canadian. That game rocked ass.

Sudden Strike is possibly the leas poplar game in my town.
Battle Engine aquila was insane.

Then there was this anime-ish navy game where you highlight all youre ships and fire all weapons at something. Then theres this big ass plethora of lazers from youre ships. and it looks amazingly cool.

I played Mad Maestro at GameStop once. It was fun for a little while but it mostly just makes me wish I were conducting for real. It's like playing a virtual musical instrument.

I didn't feel like reading all this so forgive me if I say something someone else did.
Qix, Agressive Inline, Mario Paint, Ninja Turtles: Tourniment Fighters, Blade Runner, Time Killers, Smash TV, This arcade game where you drive a futuristic tank and fight on different planets in like a tourinment held by some evil alien that kills the losers or something, and my all time favorite unknown game, Grandia 2. I don't know if anyone has played it, but if you haven't hook up your Dreamcast and buy it. Or buy it on PS2, for more $ but pretty much the same graphics. It will suck you in and never let you quit. My god it's like a novel unfolding right before your eyes. So well written. Just go buy it.

Holy shit this thread is old.

Kick ass games no one knows about

all those games you listed except for the one with no name are very well known.

and yes, i made this thread when i first started posting here. And felt like bumping it because it was a good thread that actually got me into a few games that i would have never played.

[Dr. V]

well no one I know knows about them, I can't vouch for you guys.

[MikeSoAwesome]

The Guardian Legend(1988) should top that list. Back in the day it pushed the limits of the NES I'm waiting for another game that over kills the use of sprites like that game did.http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/guardianlegend/image/gs.gif

Also wasn't there a Blaster Master sequel on SNES I remember the plot vaugely, Jason's car was struck be lightning and explodes and you must rebuild it and hunt monsters that have escaped.

Awesomeness is an ability many find difficult to grasp, if you find what I say difficult to grasp(comprehend) you have not yet reached my level of awesomeness

The Legacy of the Wizard was always one of my favorite games. Hard as fuck, but fun. :(

[eggyolk]

well no one in my town has heard of mario paint, but it was quite the kickass game.

Yoshi's safari also kicked ass. one of i think 6 games that used the super scope.

[ArrowX]

Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram

[deAdeNdz]

Shut up Rongi.

Anyway, yeah there's a few games I really like that not many people I know have played.

-Captain Quazar
-Loaded
-Subspace

That's just off the top of my head... I'm sure there's others...



CAPTAIN QUAZAR - 3DO STYLEE!

[ProfessorCool]

Hahahahahaha, shutup rongi, heheh

[Dynamic Dustin M.]

Uninvited for the NES was pretty good and not too many people heard about it. I also played this game called "Space Blaster Alpha" or some shit like that in an arcade. It was a stand up game with two joystick like controllers and you were in this First-Person X-Wing type thing blowing the hell out of all of these ships and planets and stuff. Pretty fun and hard as hell.

[thebiggameover]

super puzzle fighter 2 tubro and gem fighters. i really hope capcom ports that gem fighters remix to gba. that would be badass...

[Seven Force]

Dynamite Headdy.

[ernasty10050]

[Father §p@z]

Moments of Greed. Also, not too many people I know have ever heard of Descent, and we all know how much ass that game kicks. FUSION CANNON :rock
