AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Rakugaki Showtime
Um Jammer Lammy
D&D Shadow Over Mystara

and uh...

I dunno. Play those games. They're necessary...

If you liked that movie then you need to go find a razor and be emo with it

Well, the Guilty Gear series seems little-known enough...and a game called Warlocked for the Game Boy Color. The single greatest handheld game that I played between ages one and ten. Now if I can find a ROM for it.....

Since disasterpiece02 mentioned Guilty Gear, I'd like to mention pretty much every single good fighting game that isn't promoted Nintendo (since those are overrated to hell, and I still think they're good, just rated so high you'd think that if the sky is the limit, then they must be on fucking Neptune) including the following series:

-Street Fighter (including the Alpha and EX, but not The Movie: The Game)
-The King of Fighters
-Fatal Fury
-Guilty Gear
-Marvel vs. Capcom (TATSUNOKO VS. CAPCOM HYPE!!!! [if you need to ask, wiki, lazy person])
-Vampire Saviour
-Samurai Showdown (arguable)
-Tekken
-Virtua Fighter

and a special mention to the fighting games that I specify are not good:

-Any anime based fighting game up to date (Naruto, DBZ, ect.) except maybe Jump Stars, since I've never played any of them.
-Bloody Roar
-Dead or Alive (arguable, I know, shut up)
-Soul Calibur (since it's pretty inevitable that somebody will post and say "yuo forgot SC dud". It's not too bad, it's just not good enough.)

If you're interested at all in fighting games, I suggest you download ggpo (which can be downloaded at ggpo.net; www.ggpo.net doesn't work).
It also has D & D: Shadows over Mysteria.


I didn't post this earlier because everybody in one of the other forums I browse know of them. So ergo, they should be known. But apparently, people here post stuff like Okami??

I own both Mordor games. They were cool efforts at making a D&D-style dungeon crawler that simply got overlooked in the shareware era of computer gaming. The deeper dungeons got ridiculously unforgiving as you would run into beasts that would drain stats like a vacuum cleaner.

Anyway, here are some gems I have played and I know of nobody that played them:

Phantom Fighter (NES) is a side-scrolling beat-em-up where you go to ancient Chinese towns and fight zombies called Kyonshi. It had great graphics and animation, new moves to learn, and an iconic soundtrack that was all twangy.

Formula One: Built to Win (NES) takes Rad Racer to complex proportions. You go through four parts of your career starting as a Mini Cooper rally racer and going as far as the Formula Ones. You could upgrade your vehicle and even risk your spendings at the Casino.

Kickle Cubicle (NES), from the creators of Metal Storm and Kid Nikki, features an Eskimo that must save a Southern Pole kingdom from food monsters. It is a very deep puzzler where you manipulate ice blocks to bridge your way to the bound hostages.

Warlock (Mega Drive/Genesis) is an action-packed platformer where you fight zombies and other apparitions with the use of dark magic and lightning.

Viewpoint (Neo Geo) is an isometric-view shoot-em-up with a kickass soundtrack and colorful graphics.

Twinbee (Arcade) was a shooter ahead of its time when Konami first released it. You could attack targets both in the air and on ground. Powerups come about in iconic Rainbow Bells that you shoot and they change colors to represent different powers.

Blast Corps (N64) is an often-overlooked Rareware game where you get to knock down scores of buildings with industrial vehicles and even some monstrous mecha. It's not as obscure as the other ones but it is too daisies good for its lack of popularity.

Body Harvest (N64) includes a stereotype time traveling storyline that is forgiven by the scale of alien combat. With a myriad of vehicles and guns to choose from, you get to steamroll through battlefields to stop the alien bugs from harvesting human flesh.

Betrayal at Krondor (DOS) is a unique RPG in the universe of Raymond E. Feist's Midkemia, who also contributed to the writing of the game. The game is heavily story-driven and involves cerebral but exciting swordplay fights with some magic and crossbows thrown in. Many characters from the Riftwar Saga reprise their roles in the game. The author liked this story so much that it became cannon as part of the Riftwar Legacy and spawned a new trilogy of fantasy novels.

That's my current list sofar.

All of the games that Nifflas (Knytt, Knytt Stories) and Cactus (Psychosomnium, Mondo Hospital) make are super good.

And free.

So more people should play them.

The Neverhood - A Game made of pure awesomeness... and clay.

Beyond Good & Evil - I have a fun time playing it.

Quite a few people know about that game

More people need to know about and play ICO. It's the first game the team that made Shadow of the Colossus created. It's so good.

Also, the Baten Kaitos series (two games). They're RPG games for the Gamecube and really overlooked. Sure, the voice acting in the first game sucks and they have their shortcomings, but I really liked them both. The first game had an amazing twist and a lot of the dialogue in the second Baten Kaitos game is awesome.

Mischief Makers-HHEEEEELLLPPP MEEEE MAARRIIIINNNUUUHHHHH
Incredible Crisis- GWEEEEEEYYYY
Ouendan/EBA Games-OOUUUUUEEEEEENDDAAAAAHN
Rhythm Tengoku-CHURN RIGHT
I also like Okage: Shadow King. Still have it.

Darius twin on snes. It was nuts for me when I was a kid.

That game was awesome.

You can't go wrong with pocket-sized fighting alien robots - and it only cost me £10 ($5)!

Marina from Mischief Makers is playable in rakugaki showtime...

There was a legal game I played back in the day called "In the First" that was an interactive movie that tried to simulate prosecuting a trial. It was actually kinda neat. You had to depose witnesses before hand and choose from a set of questions and be careful what you said. If you made them too angry, they might clam up and not want to talk anymore, or if you were too smooth-talking, they might make up evidence (which the defense always jumped on faster than Klavier Gavin). The goal was to convict this artist guy of murder in the first degree.

It had its shortcomings, mainly the shortcomings that all interactive movies had. To fit on two CD-ROMS the movies were compressed horribly and were pixelated to high heaven. The actors were all second-rate and over or under-acted. If you didn't ask just the right sequence of questions at both the trial and the depositions, you could end up not being able to get a 1st degree conviction (although there were multiple endings possible with 2nd degree, manslaughter, and not guilty verdicts possible...and if you were really bad, the defense would file a motion for dismissal and the judge would tell you what a crappy pants you were).

I liked it because it actually attempted to follow the legal code. The defense would pose real objections to your questions like hearsay, argumentative or speculation. I'm a huge Law and Order fan (original only) so I ate that right up.

Certainly my favorites would be Skies of Arcadia: Legends (cause there is more stuff, & I always like more stuff), Syphon Filter (never owned it but I played it at my cousins a lot, also don't know how popular it is), SSX games no one I've met knows about them, Sparkster, & Vigilante 8.

Those seem to be the only ones I can think of at the moment. D:
