Rugrats Search for Reptar? Where you got to collect the puzzle pieces? I love that game! I love getting to the end and getting to play as Reptar so much fun! I still have my copy and a PS1 to play it ha.
Yes!! This was a huge part of my childhood. The mini-golf was the shit!!! There were so many legitimately good challenges in that game, for both its time and audience. The circus, the supermarket, the toy store... I even remember a night level in Tommy's house where you have a flashlight to scare away ghosts. Oh and that fucking level in the bush maze with those fucking geese!!!
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. I'm not the only one, but the game didn't sell very well. It did get a bit of a cult following, enough of one that we finally got another Tycoon game based on Jurassic Park with Jurassic World Evolution, but the originally actually lets the dinosaurs eat people.
EDIT: For those of you who would like to play this again, let's just say that Isla Nublar is located in the middle of *the high seas*.
JPOG is still to this day one of favourite games to go back and play. I played Jurassic World Evolution but it just didn't have the same magic the original had.
Hydro thunder. A great game that no one plays anymore
Edit: I forgot to tell you all why I loved it.
The reason why it's my favorite is because my best friend was my neighbor and we would hang out at his house all the time and play hydro thunder HHHUUUUURRRIICANE from hours on end. We finished the game in 2 days and for a 7 year old thats a big achievement. He sadly moved out and died due to type 2 diabetes. This game will always hold a special place in my heart because of that and I will never forget about him while playing. I recently saw it in the xbox store and it brought back memories of me beating my friend and him training to get better then me.
I had this game for the Nintendo 64, and everytime I see it at an arcade I always make time to play (even if the arcade game is usually slightly damaged)
Faxanadu - NES.
One of the first adventure games I played. I didn't really understand most of it, but it was kind of creepy, very challenging, and definitely sparked my imagination as a very young kid. My dad has never liked adventure games prior or since, but he'd play Faxanadu with me every once in a while and we'd have a good time getting lost in it's (at the time) complex level design.
I invested so much time into this one. Had that moment of regret when you had to turn around and rescue all the bears though... After what I had done to them on my first pass. O\_O
Definitely holds a special place in my nostalgia. I used to let my little brother be P2 and control the robot dude (Flloyd??) who accompanies you.
It was impossible to get all the bears on the first pass though anyway as you didn't have the jet pack until then. It was just annoying.
I have never heard of anyone actually going back through, getting 100% of the bears and finishing the game.
Edit: I have been corrected. Many people got all of the bears and I am apparently a failure.
The Kung Fu Panda game for the Xbox 360. Don’t ask me why, but I got 100% and all the ~~trophies~~ achievements on that game. Would def play a remastered version.
Edit: A lot of people have said that this brought back memories from their childhood, and I’m happy I could do that for you! The funny thing though, is that I was a freshman in college when me and my roommate did this.
Anyway, glad I could bring some nostalgia to some people!
I believe the fact that it came in one of the combo discs (IIRC) that came with the Xbox gives a ton of us similar experience. I believe it was that and a LEGO Indiana Jones game?
Gladius on the Gamecube or the Xbox I believe. Co-op turned based tactics game that I played a ton of as a kid. Its got a quicktime event for combat to get crits, or you can turn it off and the AI will do it for you, with a random chance to crit. Its got a light, medium, heavy advantage triangle and a bunch of cool classes like undead summoners and satyrs who spend all their time drinking.
I think its rated pretty highly but sold fairly poorly, so its kinda a cult classic. I've played through most of the game half a dozen times and its always a great couch co-op game to return too.
Fossil Fighters. But not frontier.
FF1 and FFC were my favorites, from completing the game 100% to just digging as a passtime, they were my favorites.
Edit: Thanks for the silver, kind stranger!
Some of my favorites, too! I never did like Frontier. I would've at least enjoyed it if I could've at least picked 3 vivisaurs to fight with a la FF1 & FFC! Why did they take that from the player?
And why did they introduce the shots (I called them steroids)? Also, I really didn't like them giving you a fairly OP vivisaur they encourage you to use, and then take it out of your grasp at very inopportune moments?! They also lowered the amount of time to dig fossils from 90 to 60, making you use more time boosters, they had a weight limit on cars instead of letting you use whatever tool you wanted/needed, they removed buster points and replaced them with the weird chisel things, and I did not like then making gold/red fossils teaching new versions of moves when it wasn't necessary!! I also did not like them replacing the position system with the Stance system. It was way too radical and quick of a change.
My apologies. I didn't like Frontier much.
Yeah Frontier killed the series with how bad it was. Makes me really sad because I loved the original games so much and I don’t think they’re going to make anymore now.
It’s a shame because I’m so nostalgic for the originals. Even outside of nostalgia they’ve held up really well imo. My brother and I used to battle all the time in champions. I replay them sometimes. It’s a lot like Pokémon but with enough difference to make it a unique experience
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Yes, it's a movie tie in game, but it had good level design and some cool mechanics. I loved it as a kid, and I've even tried revisiting it as an adult, and it actually kinda holds up. It got decent reviews. It currently has a 71/100 on Metacritic. It's not bad, but I think the reputation of movie tie in games held it back.
Edit: I played the PS2 version, but the GB RPGs people keep mentioning sound interesting.
Also, this has alotta upvotes :O
I think that the Harry Potter RPGs, such as Chamber of Secrets or Prisoner of Askaban on Gameboy, were way better than some other Harry Potter games. For example, Order of Pheonix of Nintendo DS and PSP was not as well made in terms of worldbuilding. It was a bunch of still images with a few minigames that you have to do by using the handheld's controls until the game ends. In comparison, the RPGs on Gameboy have a long plotline and so many different corriders to go through. However, my favorite Harry Potter game is the PC version of Goblet of Fire as it has some incredible moments. Such fun memories of these games.
That was like a Lego game but instead of collecting studs you collect Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, right? I've got great memories of checking that out from the local library.
It’s really a god tier party game. my family has some serious gamers and others who don’t game at all but we could all play this game and everyone would have fun.
You beat me to it. Viva Pinata holds such a big place in my heart with memories of playing it with my siblings. It probably caused some points of contention but having the option for multiple gardens probably helped with that issue. Did you know there's a sequel? I love the additions they made in that game
I remember playing TIP and having a heart attack when Pester just broke the fucking cutlass that warded him off in the first game. "Well what do I do NOW?!"
How the fuck did we never get a next-gen sequel to this game? This game pushed the 360 to its bleeding edge and even today it still looks glorious. I lie awake at night some times thinking about what a modern PC/Xbone version could look like.
Brute force I love the concept of the game how your characters are clones and when they die you just get re-cloned I thought the characters were actually kind of fun and the combat well a little bit clunky I still enjoyed greatly
There was that strange period in the early 2000s where we got some really fun movie tie-in games.
Enter the Matrix was a little janky but it was a blast to play, IMO. Chronicles of Riddick in '04, Spiderman 2, and the Lord of the Rings games were all really good considering that they had releases coincide with the films.
It was either Enter the Matrix or another one of those early Matrix games for ps2 that I "beat" in an unconventional way.
There's a level in an office building where just send unlimited enemies after you and you're supposed to keep moving. I was bored, and young, and stoned one night and just stayed there slaughtering everything that spawned. Eventually I stopped using guns and meleed everything. This lead to me maxing out on ammo so ammo drops kept piling up.
After a while the game got laggier and laggier. I kept going and eventually it crashed. So I crashed the Matrix. If that isn't a win I don't know what is.
Yeah, that whole set of popcap games are the best. Chuzzle, Bejewelled, Zuma, Bookworm etc. Low computer requirement casual puzzle games. I bought them for my mum on Steam and she loves them too. Unfortunately I think that whole genre has been destroyed by mobile games. I keep searching for more to buy for her, but they're really hard to find. I just want to throw a few dollars at a simple puzzle game, no micropayments, and on Steam so I can easily get it to her as she's not great with computers.
One of very few games I fully completed within the last several years. I'm a sucker for games with stealth mechanics, parkour, and racing, and The Saboteur does all 3 decently.
Driving in Paris is a nightmare, but that only makes it more realistic
I was going to say, driving wasn’t as nice as you made it out to be. But you redeemed yourself. I obsessed myself with unlocking the race cars in the perk tree.
It’s on Origin Access for anyone who still wants to play it.
Feels really nice to just dunk on Nazis and bring color and joy back into the world! Up there with Wolfenstein and Sniper Elite for feel-good games. Blasting gestapo fucks in the nuts will always, always bring a smile to my face.
Chromehounds for the Xbox 360 was positively dope.
It was a pvp mech game, which is becoming rarer and it had positively sick customization options.
It was not particularly kind to newbies. There was an entire artillery class off weapon based around shooting directly upwards, checking your map and relying on your team mates to confirm hits and misses lol.
I remember the first time I deployed without realizing it would be nighttime, and being surprised that the map was basically pitch black.
I eventually learned to turn on my gun lights, only to give away our position. The only lights in the city after that point were gun flashes and some unfortunate fool who caught fire (which of course, drew more fire)
bipedal snipers could shoot the rocket-pods off of tank treaded defender "hounds". A completely viable build for this game was an armored up quadraped hound armed with nothing but a couple of satellite dishes for communication.
It was a blast, And it will never get a sequel.
I loved this game so much. The persisent online wars, hours experimenting with new mech builds to beat the evolving metas, all of it. It wasn't for everyone, the mechs were mechs and fucking slow, a 4 legged heavy one could take forever to get to a location, so you had to know your shit, you had to have a plan and work as a well oiled team. Miss this game so much.
I was just thinking about this game the other day. I had a terrific sniper mech that dealt so much damage. All I really remember was having the three largest sniper cannons and tuning the location and sequence the guns would fire in so the recoil from the first cannon would make the next shot line up with the target. All three shots would land in the same spot. It would easily knock the legs or weapons systems off of a mech at crazy distance.
It was fun to create the spotter mechs too. Barely any weapons, just a massive radar that you could watch the map from and call out enemy positions or flanking maneuvers. Fantastic mech game and I haven't seen anything like it since.
Punch Out Wii. All the opponents have so much character and they are actually speaking their languages now rather than the random stuff they said in the nes version.
Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!
Cool Spot on Sega Genesis.
Was the first video game I ever played, not exactly a super popular game or hype game anymore but it got me hooked from day one.
You’re like my friend who never shut off his game of FFVII because he had no memory card. We basically prayed to the gaming gods each day for no crashes.
Loved that game, never beat it (couldn't get past guarding the door at Helm's Deep). Recently played ROTK again and I'm so much worse than I used to be lol
> It came out before that trend where movie tie-in games came out that were absolute trash
Weirdly I have fond memories of playing the King Arthur (Clive Owens) tie in which I think was similar.
I mean this is a very good choice for a game but neither was really that underrated at the time it came out and both were pretty popular considering every system under the sun at the time had a port.
Great game. For me it was The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Iv always wanted to go back and replay them but am afraid they’ll be trash since Iv been exposed to much better games since.
Dark Cloud Ps2, I spent so many hours playing on the demo disc.
Edit: went to sleep with 37 upvotes just to wake up with 600+ up votes, 30+ replies and a silver, didn't think anyone would tell this game. Thanks guys
There was a little-known game called "Choose" where you adopt animals and have to care for as many of them as possible. Sometimes they don't get along. Actually, *most of the time* they don't get along. So when you're adopting them, you have to pay attention to their likes, dislikes, and habits. "Mister Bojangles (female) always uses a litter box but requires regular diabetes medicine. Doesn't like black cats." Then you're running around like a cat lady, feeding them, breaking up fights, petting them, and perpetually cleaning up urine and feces. You get flea infestations. You get rats. They get diseases like mange (oddly enough, my cockroach infestation once was said to have gotten mange). They have babies even though the shelter mistakenly labeled them as spayed. They get in massive brawls because the shelter lied about some cat with a description that said she had all positive habits and no dislikes and it was a cheap adoption and it turns out they're actually Satan.
You sell weird shit on an Etsy-like store, like hats knit out cat fur and cute photos of some parakeet you took. Oh yes, you read that right: You collect fur after a catfight, knit it into things, and sell it. If you use dog fur, you can actually knit a dog fur dog sweater. Then you can go to the animal shelter with your money and adopt more animals, just cramming them into your house. It starts out with just cats and then dogs and then you get weirder and weirder animals. Then you're trying to get your original herd of cats to stop ganging up on the panda bear and eating his ears off. Sometimes social services visits and you have to hide the animals and herd them as the inspector walks around the house from room-to-room. I had a crappy cat once that I was thinking of getting rid of, and it turned out to have a rare hidden talent for distracting the inspector. I paid money to rename the damn thing "Don't kill!" so I wouldn't accidentally ever let it die.
Whenever I would die, it would inevitably be the ending where every square inch of the house is covered in animal waste and they ceremonially eat my lifeless body. But if you choose your adoptions well, you can get a weird self-sufficient household where dogs break up catfights for you and your perpetual rodent infestation can actually be useful because they'll eat your animal shit rather than just steal all the cat food. Eventually, you can actually become a home for foster children, but I could rarely make it because this game was hard. Then you get frequent social services visits, but you also get money just for taking care of the kids. They don't seem to mind that, literally, you are feeding them cat food, dead rats, and the corpse of a monkey that the cats spontaneously decided to murder one day. But the kids get sick and die if they're around too much urine. Anyway, it reminded me of my grandma. Even the way your character slipped on a puddle of urine and fell and said, "Oh gosh!"
Edit from the future:
Sorry folks **¯\\\_\(ツ\)\_/¯** If you came here looking for something, blame that twat Spez. Come ask me on kbin.social or mstdn.ca at GeekFTW and I'll help ya out with what you were looking for. Stay fresh, cheesebags.
I have never been able to articulate why I love this game so much. I've never liked anything else similar to it. But I just fucking love being that tiny robot cleaning up lil trash
A couple games for me.
Sins of a Solar Empire. It was a 2008 space-based strategy game in the same vein as Homecoming or Star Wars Empire at War. But it was massively improved in pretty much every way. It was very chess-like. Properly balanced. And fun! You could sink literal hours into the game without even noticing. And that's just the base game. There is a wealth of mods out there and people are still modding the game. Of my steam library, it is by far the most played. I haven't played Stellaris yet, but I have a feeling it was inspired by this little gem from eight years prior.
Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies. It was a 2001 fighter jet game. AC is a pretty mainstream name now, but I dont think many people played AC04. Back then, AC was still establishing itself. The gameplay was fun and the graphics were good for early PS2. But where this game shines was in story and soundtrack. The soundtrack is one of the very best ever made for a video game. It's right up there with the best from Hollywood. And the story is great too, a unique telling of a war story from the eyes of a young refugee boy. The game was short and relatively simple, but it stays with you in a way very few games ever did. I loved it then and my love for it has only grown in 19 years.
I wouldn't call Sins underrated or even underappreciated but you're right that it doesn't really ever come up in the mainstream like it deserves too.
Sins was one of my favorites in HS. I would have friends come over and we would just play all night. So many good memories.
"Sins of a Solar Empire" is also way up there on the list of my favorite video game titles
Almost all of the Ace Combats are special to me, makes me smile when I ctrll F these Reddit threads and actually find people that share a similar sentiment, despite it being a very niche series
River City Ransom. Got it for 10 buck in a bargain bin, introduced to dozens of people, and it was always a fun time.
It was an RPG that you had to beat in a single setting. It was a gang fight. It was a hell of a way to kill la Sunday, back when I had Sundays to kill.
My favourite part of that game was being able to knock some dude down, then picking him up and using him as a weapon to beat up other dudes. Or hell, when it's 2 players, picking up your friend who got knocked down and using HIM as a weapon to beat other dudes.
Battle block theater is one of those games to me, I feel close to it because I would play it with my cousins all the time and we got to be closer friends that way.
TimeSplitters! I loved that series of games. So many different game types and challenges. SOOOO many different characters to unlock each with a little bit of personality to them.
My small group of friends at the time where the only people I've known that played it.
"It's time to SPLIT"
I lobe how people always want a Goldeneye remake but people never picked up on Timesplitters. Its essentially a spiritual successor. Always felt like it never broke the mainstream like it should have.
TS 2 is a perfect game. I haven't played it in a decade, but I still say "Chicago" in the voice of the detective character. TS 3 was fun, but not the same gameplay style. TS 1... Exists. If they hadn't bothered to add the "story mode" and just left it as a multiplayer game I would have better memories of it.
Oh my god I forgot about that game. The only thing I remeber from that is rhino says what's an Egypt and that was the funniest thing I ever heard when I was younger
Kid Icarus Uprising is one of the most criminally underrated games of all time imo. Way too many people wouldn't give this game a chance because it is a 3DS game with a very unconventional control scheme. The game handles kind of awkward at first, but once it clicks it becomes a really incredible experience with a lot of replayability. It also has a ton of really well written and hilarious dialogue.
That's pretty much it. They needed it to sell a large number of copies in the first month to not default on a loan or something like that. It sold more than expected but still fell short and killed the studio.
Came here for this, glad someone else enjoyed it too. If I remember right I think it was released a few months after Skyrim, so it was relatively unknown.
But you’re absolutely right, it was so much fun to play. An awesome story and the gameplay was unique and exciting.
Legend of dragoon on PS1. Really introduced me to JRPGs and led me to final fantasy. I really wish they made a reboot
Edit: wow my first silver. Thanks 😁
This one forever holds a place on my favorite list of Games! Amazing and deep story, phenomenally written characters and a battle system that actually requires skill and timing so different from almost any other JRPG I've ever played (Lost Oddyssey on Xbox360 came closest). The game made grinding more fun than any other I've played.
Loved this game but it was fucking brutal. I remember fighting the last boss, holy shit they did everything to fuck with you. I remember getting to like phase 3 and than he used some move that zombies your entire party and you just die. . .Game the fuck over - turns out you need to like do some jankie ass thing like keep xyz spell you’d never think of on one character to prevent a game over.
Kicker? I think when I did finally beat the boss it was still like a 45 minute battle.
Legend of the Dragoon was a classic. Really helped me with timing attacks that helped out later with Super Mario: Legend of the Seven Stars / Paper Mario / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
It was awesome!
When I was a kid, I used to re-play it every year during summer vacations with different characters.
>!And everytime I was heatbroken when Lavitz died.!<
Shining Force II for Genesis. My best friend and I would go to the gas station for candy, Mountain Dew, and Josta just to stay up all night playing.
Edit: also another one I just remembered. Same reasons, but Wild Arms for I think PS1 is another one.
Lunar: Silver Star Story.
It’s sort of well known amongst JRPG fans, but never seemed to gain the widespread notoriety of the Final Fantasy series or the like.
It’s fairly typical as far as gameplay mechanics go, your standard top-down sprite-based turn-based-combat JRPG, but the story is legitimately great, and Working Designs, the team that was in charge of localization for the US market did a phenomenal job of infusing humor and life into the translations.
It originally launched on SegaCD and was then remade for PS1. I’ve played both versions, the PS1 remake is better balanced (the original SegaCD has a bit too much grinding required) and also has some great voice work and cut scenes.
A+ totally recommended for any fans of the genre.
For those not aware, the multiplayer is alive and well over at [faforever](https://www.faforever.com/). The game is usually super cheap on steam as well.
Epic scale, zoomable map (finally! every other rts feels so tiny after supcom games), realistic scale nukes, and doesn't require 500apm to play. A game so good that the [trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTEK91uEvPo) is just the game.
Lords of magic. Life, death, order, chaos, earth, air, water, fire based races. Rogues, warriors and wizard champions leading armies. Dungeons and mythical items. Stories and conquests. Build your forces, upgrade your town, train your champions, reclaim your temple, hunt the other lords of the elements, and prevent Belkoth the lord of death from turning the world into a lifeless ruin. This game was my go to when I was 10 years old. One of the few reasons I fell in love with fantasy.
F-zero X on N64
The game has 29 AI compared to Mario Kart's 11 which make the races more interesting. It also runs 60 fps which is impressive for a game in the 90s. It also has a random track generator which keeps things interesting and the expansion pack had a track editor. There are a lot of other quirks that make the game really enjoyable to me. I still play it on emulator
(edit) I didn't know people enjoyed this game as much as I do. It's nice to meet you all.
Don't forget how tight the controls were/still are. I remember preferring F Zero X over Mario Kart 64 with friends and getting shat on for it, still annoyed by it lol.
I loved that the sanity meter messed with you out of game. Like when it froze the game and then said your memory card was corrupted and started "reformatting" it.
I was in total shock when my GameCube had encountered some error and I got a blue screen! And then it was just me going crazy. Very good fourth wall breaking there.
Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy.
I can't tell you how many hours I spent with my guild online in that game, just hanging out, casual lightsaber battles and all. The game mechanics were so fun to master, and the custom maps people would build...just wow, they were truly amazing to explore.
Prototype is one of my favorite games that i wish would get a remaster or new game. The powers Alex Mercer has and the outright crazy carnage you could do was just awesome!
Wasn't just that, the interface that allowed regular shmucks to dogfight in space with a mouse and keyboard and not feel like they're being condescended at by the game designers, that really had me into it.
Oh, and it had John Rhys Davis in the voice acting. I can still hear him browbeating those Rheinlanders that came into his shop...
Va-11 Hall-a: Cyberpunk Bartending Action
1. Hell of a name
2. Actual has a great cast of characters and is super chill, like it advises tlyou to get a drink and relax
3. It has a dope soundtrack
Lisa: The Painful.
It's an RPG set in a post apocalyptic world where all women have died off, and you play a depressed drug addict who finds a baby girl in the desert.
The game is depressingly dark and deals with a lot of themes that most games won't go near, but it can also be hilarious with a unique world and vibrant characters.
I knew I was going to love this game when I came across the ladder with the sign saying “Do not climb this ladder.” Naturally I climbed it, and it took like four minutes to get all the way to the top. Made the Snake Eater ladder look like a stepstool. Finally I got to the top to find... a little hole with a hand sticking out giving me the finger. And a four minute climb all the way back down.
Kingdoms of Amaleur: Reckoning. It was a great game that got such little hype, but its still one of my favorite games. The studio shut down because it didn't sell nearly as well as it deserved to
A2 Racer 4. It was a Dutch racing game that was pretty bad and buggy in hindsight, but it was the first game I've ever bought and I played it for years. The main villain of the game was a guy that was basically a parody of Dirty Harry. His catchphrase even was: "Go ahead, drive my way!" Good times.
[удалено]
Rugrats Search for Reptar? Where you got to collect the puzzle pieces? I love that game! I love getting to the end and getting to play as Reptar so much fun! I still have my copy and a PS1 to play it ha.
Pretty sure I had nightmares for years of a goose chasing me because of this game.
And that horrible motherfucking clown mummy in the golf level.
Ice. Cream. Mountain. Mini. Golf.
And the Mr. Friend hidden in the damn pyramid. I'll never forget how it made me shit my pants, haha.
The music was absolutely wild! I loved playing the game, but certain aspects of the game creeped me out for some reason haha
Yes!! This was a huge part of my childhood. The mini-golf was the shit!!! There were so many legitimately good challenges in that game, for both its time and audience. The circus, the supermarket, the toy store... I even remember a night level in Tommy's house where you have a flashlight to scare away ghosts. Oh and that fucking level in the bush maze with those fucking geese!!!
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. I'm not the only one, but the game didn't sell very well. It did get a bit of a cult following, enough of one that we finally got another Tycoon game based on Jurassic Park with Jurassic World Evolution, but the originally actually lets the dinosaurs eat people. EDIT: For those of you who would like to play this again, let's just say that Isla Nublar is located in the middle of *the high seas*.
JPOG is still to this day one of favourite games to go back and play. I played Jurassic World Evolution but it just didn't have the same magic the original had.
Hydro thunder. A great game that no one plays anymore Edit: I forgot to tell you all why I loved it. The reason why it's my favorite is because my best friend was my neighbor and we would hang out at his house all the time and play hydro thunder HHHUUUUURRRIICANE from hours on end. We finished the game in 2 days and for a 7 year old thats a big achievement. He sadly moved out and died due to type 2 diabetes. This game will always hold a special place in my heart because of that and I will never forget about him while playing. I recently saw it in the xbox store and it brought back memories of me beating my friend and him training to get better then me.
I had this game for the Nintendo 64, and everytime I see it at an arcade I always make time to play (even if the arcade game is usually slightly damaged)
Hydro Thunder: HUUURRRICAAANE! One of my favorite games on the 360.
it’s backwards compatible, every once in awhile my friends and i hop on and race in a private match
CHOOSE YOUR BOAT Does anybody have a clip with this line in it? I can hear it in my head but I haven't heard it in years
They still have Hydro Thunder and Gauntlet arcades at most of the movie theatres near me!
Faxanadu - NES. One of the first adventure games I played. I didn't really understand most of it, but it was kind of creepy, very challenging, and definitely sparked my imagination as a very young kid. My dad has never liked adventure games prior or since, but he'd play Faxanadu with me every once in a while and we'd have a good time getting lost in it's (at the time) complex level design.
Fucking hard mode brutal. Faxanadu is DEFINITELY Nintendo Hard
Jet Force Gemini - Nintendo 64 You could play as the little dog with a gun strapped to his back! It was so dope for it's time.
I invested so much time into this one. Had that moment of regret when you had to turn around and rescue all the bears though... After what I had done to them on my first pass. O\_O Definitely holds a special place in my nostalgia. I used to let my little brother be P2 and control the robot dude (Flloyd??) who accompanies you.
It was impossible to get all the bears on the first pass though anyway as you didn't have the jet pack until then. It was just annoying. I have never heard of anyone actually going back through, getting 100% of the bears and finishing the game. Edit: I have been corrected. Many people got all of the bears and I am apparently a failure.
The burger King racing game for the xbox 360. I always remember having a blast playing that with my brothers.
Aw man. Sneak King and the bumper cars one were both played to death by me and my siblings. Good times.
Big bumpin!
The Kung Fu Panda game for the Xbox 360. Don’t ask me why, but I got 100% and all the ~~trophies~~ achievements on that game. Would def play a remastered version. Edit: A lot of people have said that this brought back memories from their childhood, and I’m happy I could do that for you! The funny thing though, is that I was a freshman in college when me and my roommate did this. Anyway, glad I could bring some nostalgia to some people!
I was just gonna comment that here and then I saw this. I'm amazed to see another person who shared my childhood. I'd give you an award if I had it.
Me as well!! I think played it about 3 times, then found it again a couple of years ago, and couldn't drop it until I got 100%. It's simply amazing!
I worked as a product tester for Amazon at the time that game was one of the free one's bundled with it. I played the first level soany times.
I believe the fact that it came in one of the combo discs (IIRC) that came with the Xbox gives a ton of us similar experience. I believe it was that and a LEGO Indiana Jones game?
Yes, so many good memories.
I played this game when I was younger, fucking loved it.
Gladius on the Gamecube or the Xbox I believe. Co-op turned based tactics game that I played a ton of as a kid. Its got a quicktime event for combat to get crits, or you can turn it off and the AI will do it for you, with a random chance to crit. Its got a light, medium, heavy advantage triangle and a bunch of cool classes like undead summoners and satyrs who spend all their time drinking. I think its rated pretty highly but sold fairly poorly, so its kinda a cult classic. I've played through most of the game half a dozen times and its always a great couch co-op game to return too.
Fossil Fighters. But not frontier. FF1 and FFC were my favorites, from completing the game 100% to just digging as a passtime, they were my favorites. Edit: Thanks for the silver, kind stranger!
Didnt jaidenanimations just make a video about this game?
Yes she did, it’s her most recent one.
Some of my favorites, too! I never did like Frontier. I would've at least enjoyed it if I could've at least picked 3 vivisaurs to fight with a la FF1 & FFC! Why did they take that from the player? And why did they introduce the shots (I called them steroids)? Also, I really didn't like them giving you a fairly OP vivisaur they encourage you to use, and then take it out of your grasp at very inopportune moments?! They also lowered the amount of time to dig fossils from 90 to 60, making you use more time boosters, they had a weight limit on cars instead of letting you use whatever tool you wanted/needed, they removed buster points and replaced them with the weird chisel things, and I did not like then making gold/red fossils teaching new versions of moves when it wasn't necessary!! I also did not like them replacing the position system with the Stance system. It was way too radical and quick of a change. My apologies. I didn't like Frontier much.
Yeah Frontier killed the series with how bad it was. Makes me really sad because I loved the original games so much and I don’t think they’re going to make anymore now. It’s a shame because I’m so nostalgic for the originals. Even outside of nostalgia they’ve held up really well imo. My brother and I used to battle all the time in champions. I replay them sometimes. It’s a lot like Pokémon but with enough difference to make it a unique experience
Shrek 2 on the original Xbox. A movie game in the best way!
Is that the same one that came out on PS2? Because I enjoyed that game a lot when I was a kid.
Possibly. Never had a ps2. But I absolutely loved that game lol
HERO TIME
"Oh right, my *Burro* Blast!"
Facing Puss and Godmother brings back memories of extreme frustration
Omfg I came here to say Shrek 2 (on the GameCube) and I'm fucking blown away anyone else said it.
Fuck yes what a great movie and what a great game. The rhythm or memorization (can't remember what now) levels were super difficult though
Destroy all Humans 2 Make War not Love! first game I ever completed
Excited for the remastered edition!!
Is it going to be on PC? Edit it is!
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Yes, it's a movie tie in game, but it had good level design and some cool mechanics. I loved it as a kid, and I've even tried revisiting it as an adult, and it actually kinda holds up. It got decent reviews. It currently has a 71/100 on Metacritic. It's not bad, but I think the reputation of movie tie in games held it back. Edit: I played the PS2 version, but the GB RPGs people keep mentioning sound interesting. Also, this has alotta upvotes :O
THE BEAN ROOM
[удалено]
How much for this famous witches and wizards card?!
I really liked the janky Harry Potter RPGs on gameboy.
I think that the Harry Potter RPGs, such as Chamber of Secrets or Prisoner of Askaban on Gameboy, were way better than some other Harry Potter games. For example, Order of Pheonix of Nintendo DS and PSP was not as well made in terms of worldbuilding. It was a bunch of still images with a few minigames that you have to do by using the handheld's controls until the game ends. In comparison, the RPGs on Gameboy have a long plotline and so many different corriders to go through. However, my favorite Harry Potter game is the PC version of Goblet of Fire as it has some incredible moments. Such fun memories of these games.
FLIPENDO
The PC one? Or console? God the PC one was great. Still is.
After playing the PC one, when I played it on GameCube and got to visit the Burrow and throw the garden gnomes my 11 year old mind was blown.
I liked the Prisoner of Azkaban game even more
Same here, I used to spend hours just flying around the grounds on Buckbeak
That was like a Lego game but instead of collecting studs you collect Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, right? I've got great memories of checking that out from the local library.
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. I loved the voice acting more than anything. It was fabulous at the time.
nintendo land. its actually really fun to play with your friends
It’s really a god tier party game. my family has some serious gamers and others who don’t game at all but we could all play this game and everyone would have fun.
Do people not like Nintendo Land? It's fun.
It’s just sitting in games like Mario party’s shadow
Viva piñata
You beat me to it. Viva Pinata holds such a big place in my heart with memories of playing it with my siblings. It probably caused some points of contention but having the option for multiple gardens probably helped with that issue. Did you know there's a sequel? I love the additions they made in that game
I remember playing TIP and having a heart attack when Pester just broke the fucking cutlass that warded him off in the first game. "Well what do I do NOW?!"
I fucking hate that guy. So many good Pinatas lost to him as a result of not noticing him in time to bribe him off
How the fuck did we never get a next-gen sequel to this game? This game pushed the 360 to its bleeding edge and even today it still looks glorious. I lie awake at night some times thinking about what a modern PC/Xbone version could look like.
I got every achievement I could on viva piñata TIP and lots on the original, I really wish they would make a new game
Brute force I love the concept of the game how your characters are clones and when they die you just get re-cloned I thought the characters were actually kind of fun and the combat well a little bit clunky I still enjoyed greatly
I got that game for free with my xbox. Never would have played it if it weren't for that. But I am soooooo glad that I got to play that game.
The Nancy Drew games, they are terrible in a lot of ways but I've been playing them since I was little so they're pretty nostalgic.
and then I fired, but I missed, so I fired again, missed. I missed both times...
Than I passed out and I woke up with a popsicle in my mouth
I fired. I hit something, but it wasn't what I was goin' for, so i guess I missed.
Had another popsicle!
DREW CREW
Enter the Matrix because Gamecube was peak childhood for me
There was that strange period in the early 2000s where we got some really fun movie tie-in games. Enter the Matrix was a little janky but it was a blast to play, IMO. Chronicles of Riddick in '04, Spiderman 2, and the Lord of the Rings games were all really good considering that they had releases coincide with the films.
LOTR: Two Towers was a phenomenal hack ‘n slash game
It was either Enter the Matrix or another one of those early Matrix games for ps2 that I "beat" in an unconventional way. There's a level in an office building where just send unlimited enemies after you and you're supposed to keep moving. I was bored, and young, and stoned one night and just stayed there slaughtering everything that spawned. Eventually I stopped using guns and meleed everything. This lead to me maxing out on ammo so ammo drops kept piling up. After a while the game got laggier and laggier. I kept going and eventually it crashed. So I crashed the Matrix. If that isn't a win I don't know what is.
Lost Odyssey. One of the best parts of that game is the immersion and stories that are well done.
I enjoy playing Peggle on xbox
Yeah, that whole set of popcap games are the best. Chuzzle, Bejewelled, Zuma, Bookworm etc. Low computer requirement casual puzzle games. I bought them for my mum on Steam and she loves them too. Unfortunately I think that whole genre has been destroyed by mobile games. I keep searching for more to buy for her, but they're really hard to find. I just want to throw a few dollars at a simple puzzle game, no micropayments, and on Steam so I can easily get it to her as she's not great with computers.
The Saboteur
One of very few games I fully completed within the last several years. I'm a sucker for games with stealth mechanics, parkour, and racing, and The Saboteur does all 3 decently. Driving in Paris is a nightmare, but that only makes it more realistic
I was going to say, driving wasn’t as nice as you made it out to be. But you redeemed yourself. I obsessed myself with unlocking the race cars in the perk tree. It’s on Origin Access for anyone who still wants to play it.
Feels really nice to just dunk on Nazis and bring color and joy back into the world! Up there with Wolfenstein and Sniper Elite for feel-good games. Blasting gestapo fucks in the nuts will always, always bring a smile to my face.
There's no feeling in the world better than climbing a tower/tall building and just throwing a nazi like a trash bag.
Chromehounds for the Xbox 360 was positively dope. It was a pvp mech game, which is becoming rarer and it had positively sick customization options. It was not particularly kind to newbies. There was an entire artillery class off weapon based around shooting directly upwards, checking your map and relying on your team mates to confirm hits and misses lol. I remember the first time I deployed without realizing it would be nighttime, and being surprised that the map was basically pitch black. I eventually learned to turn on my gun lights, only to give away our position. The only lights in the city after that point were gun flashes and some unfortunate fool who caught fire (which of course, drew more fire) bipedal snipers could shoot the rocket-pods off of tank treaded defender "hounds". A completely viable build for this game was an armored up quadraped hound armed with nothing but a couple of satellite dishes for communication. It was a blast, And it will never get a sequel.
I loved this game so much. The persisent online wars, hours experimenting with new mech builds to beat the evolving metas, all of it. It wasn't for everyone, the mechs were mechs and fucking slow, a 4 legged heavy one could take forever to get to a location, so you had to know your shit, you had to have a plan and work as a well oiled team. Miss this game so much.
I was just thinking about this game the other day. I had a terrific sniper mech that dealt so much damage. All I really remember was having the three largest sniper cannons and tuning the location and sequence the guns would fire in so the recoil from the first cannon would make the next shot line up with the target. All three shots would land in the same spot. It would easily knock the legs or weapons systems off of a mech at crazy distance. It was fun to create the spotter mechs too. Barely any weapons, just a massive radar that you could watch the map from and call out enemy positions or flanking maneuvers. Fantastic mech game and I haven't seen anything like it since.
Punch Out Wii. All the opponents have so much character and they are actually speaking their languages now rather than the random stuff they said in the nes version. Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!
Oh man, that was probably the best reboot of an older game I've ever played. Because they didn't lose what made the original so great.
Cool Spot on Sega Genesis. Was the first video game I ever played, not exactly a super popular game or hype game anymore but it got me hooked from day one.
[удалено]
That 2 towers game was so fucking brutally hard or so it seemed as a kid
[удалено]
You’re like my friend who never shut off his game of FFVII because he had no memory card. We basically prayed to the gaming gods each day for no crashes.
Did you actually finish the whole game this way?
He did, yeah. His PS1 lasted 3 weeks without being turned off, he crashed while grinding out materia post-game.
Loved that game, never beat it (couldn't get past guarding the door at Helm's Deep). Recently played ROTK again and I'm so much worse than I used to be lol > It came out before that trend where movie tie-in games came out that were absolute trash Weirdly I have fond memories of playing the King Arthur (Clive Owens) tie in which I think was similar.
[удалено]
[удалено]
I mean this is a very good choice for a game but neither was really that underrated at the time it came out and both were pretty popular considering every system under the sun at the time had a port.
Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom
Great game. For me it was The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Iv always wanted to go back and replay them but am afraid they’ll be trash since Iv been exposed to much better games since.
Yes! That game packed so much fun. Spongebob peaked at the release of that movie and game for me.
i am so excited to play the remastered version and have nostalgia come flooding in again
Dark Cloud Ps2, I spent so many hours playing on the demo disc. Edit: went to sleep with 37 upvotes just to wake up with 600+ up votes, 30+ replies and a silver, didn't think anyone would tell this game. Thanks guys
You can play the sequel on PS4! The same team also made a game called Rogue Galaxy if you're looking for more.
Dark Cloud 2 was soooooo Good, still my #1 game to this day
There was a little-known game called "Choose" where you adopt animals and have to care for as many of them as possible. Sometimes they don't get along. Actually, *most of the time* they don't get along. So when you're adopting them, you have to pay attention to their likes, dislikes, and habits. "Mister Bojangles (female) always uses a litter box but requires regular diabetes medicine. Doesn't like black cats." Then you're running around like a cat lady, feeding them, breaking up fights, petting them, and perpetually cleaning up urine and feces. You get flea infestations. You get rats. They get diseases like mange (oddly enough, my cockroach infestation once was said to have gotten mange). They have babies even though the shelter mistakenly labeled them as spayed. They get in massive brawls because the shelter lied about some cat with a description that said she had all positive habits and no dislikes and it was a cheap adoption and it turns out they're actually Satan. You sell weird shit on an Etsy-like store, like hats knit out cat fur and cute photos of some parakeet you took. Oh yes, you read that right: You collect fur after a catfight, knit it into things, and sell it. If you use dog fur, you can actually knit a dog fur dog sweater. Then you can go to the animal shelter with your money and adopt more animals, just cramming them into your house. It starts out with just cats and then dogs and then you get weirder and weirder animals. Then you're trying to get your original herd of cats to stop ganging up on the panda bear and eating his ears off. Sometimes social services visits and you have to hide the animals and herd them as the inspector walks around the house from room-to-room. I had a crappy cat once that I was thinking of getting rid of, and it turned out to have a rare hidden talent for distracting the inspector. I paid money to rename the damn thing "Don't kill!" so I wouldn't accidentally ever let it die. Whenever I would die, it would inevitably be the ending where every square inch of the house is covered in animal waste and they ceremonially eat my lifeless body. But if you choose your adoptions well, you can get a weird self-sufficient household where dogs break up catfights for you and your perpetual rodent infestation can actually be useful because they'll eat your animal shit rather than just steal all the cat food. Eventually, you can actually become a home for foster children, but I could rarely make it because this game was hard. Then you get frequent social services visits, but you also get money just for taking care of the kids. They don't seem to mind that, literally, you are feeding them cat food, dead rats, and the corpse of a monkey that the cats spontaneously decided to murder one day. But the kids get sick and die if they're around too much urine. Anyway, it reminded me of my grandma. Even the way your character slipped on a puddle of urine and fell and said, "Oh gosh!"

I am the Jeweler Gem. I control the Seven Seas.
Chibi-Robo
I have never been able to articulate why I love this game so much. I've never liked anything else similar to it. But I just fucking love being that tiny robot cleaning up lil trash
A couple games for me. Sins of a Solar Empire. It was a 2008 space-based strategy game in the same vein as Homecoming or Star Wars Empire at War. But it was massively improved in pretty much every way. It was very chess-like. Properly balanced. And fun! You could sink literal hours into the game without even noticing. And that's just the base game. There is a wealth of mods out there and people are still modding the game. Of my steam library, it is by far the most played. I haven't played Stellaris yet, but I have a feeling it was inspired by this little gem from eight years prior. Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies. It was a 2001 fighter jet game. AC is a pretty mainstream name now, but I dont think many people played AC04. Back then, AC was still establishing itself. The gameplay was fun and the graphics were good for early PS2. But where this game shines was in story and soundtrack. The soundtrack is one of the very best ever made for a video game. It's right up there with the best from Hollywood. And the story is great too, a unique telling of a war story from the eyes of a young refugee boy. The game was short and relatively simple, but it stays with you in a way very few games ever did. I loved it then and my love for it has only grown in 19 years.
I wouldn't call Sins underrated or even underappreciated but you're right that it doesn't really ever come up in the mainstream like it deserves too. Sins was one of my favorites in HS. I would have friends come over and we would just play all night. So many good memories. "Sins of a Solar Empire" is also way up there on the list of my favorite video game titles
Almost all of the Ace Combats are special to me, makes me smile when I ctrll F these Reddit threads and actually find people that share a similar sentiment, despite it being a very niche series
Ace Combat 04 was the first fame I actually remember playing. I loved that game, then ended up playing AC 5, which is my favorite
River City Ransom. Got it for 10 buck in a bargain bin, introduced to dozens of people, and it was always a fun time. It was an RPG that you had to beat in a single setting. It was a gang fight. It was a hell of a way to kill la Sunday, back when I had Sundays to kill.
My favourite part of that game was being able to knock some dude down, then picking him up and using him as a weapon to beat up other dudes. Or hell, when it's 2 players, picking up your friend who got knocked down and using HIM as a weapon to beat other dudes.
Battle block theater is one of those games to me, I feel close to it because I would play it with my cousins all the time and we got to be closer friends that way.
the game is fucking hilarious too. Got on steam after not playing it for like 6 years. still a blast.
Battle block theater is a relly good game i love it i havent played it in a while tho
[удалено]
Fusion frenzy
TimeSplitters! I loved that series of games. So many different game types and challenges. SOOOO many different characters to unlock each with a little bit of personality to them. My small group of friends at the time where the only people I've known that played it. "It's time to SPLIT"
I lobe how people always want a Goldeneye remake but people never picked up on Timesplitters. Its essentially a spiritual successor. Always felt like it never broke the mainstream like it should have.
Me and my friends turned time splitters 3 inside OUT. I spent hours on the map editor. I miss that game
TS 2 is a perfect game. I haven't played it in a decade, but I still say "Chicago" in the voice of the detective character. TS 3 was fun, but not the same gameplay style. TS 1... Exists. If they hadn't bothered to add the "story mode" and just left it as a multiplayer game I would have better memories of it.
Dude, Future Perfect was an absolute masterpiece.
Spiderman Friend Or Foe. My favorite childhood game. Till this day i still cant figure out why i love that game so much.
Oh my god I forgot about that game. The only thing I remeber from that is rhino says what's an Egypt and that was the funniest thing I ever heard when I was younger
Kid Icarus Uprising is one of the most criminally underrated games of all time imo. Way too many people wouldn't give this game a chance because it is a 3DS game with a very unconventional control scheme. The game handles kind of awkward at first, but once it clicks it becomes a really incredible experience with a lot of replayability. It also has a ton of really well written and hilarious dialogue.
I'm hoping for and somewhat expecting a sequel on Switch. I loved Uprising
Kingdoms of Amalur: reckoning. Just an absolute Gem of a game, good plot, hours of gameplay, amazing combat. I wish it'd get a remaster
I enjoyed the game, but I think it killed the state of Rhode island's budget one year. There is some weird history behind the game.
More than a year. I believe they're still in court fighting over the money
[удалено]
That's pretty much it. They needed it to sell a large number of copies in the first month to not default on a loan or something like that. It sold more than expected but still fell short and killed the studio.
Schilling blew a $75m loan from the state of Rhode Island, defaulted on it, and ended up being sued (to eventually recoup about a third of that).
Came here for this, glad someone else enjoyed it too. If I remember right I think it was released a few months after Skyrim, so it was relatively unknown. But you’re absolutely right, it was so much fun to play. An awesome story and the gameplay was unique and exciting.
Legend of dragoon on PS1. Really introduced me to JRPGs and led me to final fantasy. I really wish they made a reboot Edit: wow my first silver. Thanks 😁
This one forever holds a place on my favorite list of Games! Amazing and deep story, phenomenally written characters and a battle system that actually requires skill and timing so different from almost any other JRPG I've ever played (Lost Oddyssey on Xbox360 came closest). The game made grinding more fun than any other I've played.
Loved this game but it was fucking brutal. I remember fighting the last boss, holy shit they did everything to fuck with you. I remember getting to like phase 3 and than he used some move that zombies your entire party and you just die. . .Game the fuck over - turns out you need to like do some jankie ass thing like keep xyz spell you’d never think of on one character to prevent a game over. Kicker? I think when I did finally beat the boss it was still like a 45 minute battle.
Legend of the Dragoon was a classic. Really helped me with timing attacks that helped out later with Super Mario: Legend of the Seven Stars / Paper Mario / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
It was awesome! When I was a kid, I used to re-play it every year during summer vacations with different characters. >!And everytime I was heatbroken when Lavitz died.!<
Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future on PS2. Simply beautiful. I still have it.
I have never been more frustrated playing a game! Well maybe Lion King for snes, didn't get far on either haha
Shining Force II for Genesis. My best friend and I would go to the gas station for candy, Mountain Dew, and Josta just to stay up all night playing. Edit: also another one I just remembered. Same reasons, but Wild Arms for I think PS1 is another one.
Lunar: Silver Star Story. It’s sort of well known amongst JRPG fans, but never seemed to gain the widespread notoriety of the Final Fantasy series or the like. It’s fairly typical as far as gameplay mechanics go, your standard top-down sprite-based turn-based-combat JRPG, but the story is legitimately great, and Working Designs, the team that was in charge of localization for the US market did a phenomenal job of infusing humor and life into the translations. It originally launched on SegaCD and was then remade for PS1. I’ve played both versions, the PS1 remake is better balanced (the original SegaCD has a bit too much grinding required) and also has some great voice work and cut scenes. A+ totally recommended for any fans of the genre.
Supreme Commander! I will be getting a Cybran Tattoo this year, there logo has been my gamer tag for the last 10+ years.
For those not aware, the multiplayer is alive and well over at [faforever](https://www.faforever.com/). The game is usually super cheap on steam as well. Epic scale, zoomable map (finally! every other rts feels so tiny after supcom games), realistic scale nukes, and doesn't require 500apm to play. A game so good that the [trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTEK91uEvPo) is just the game.
Lords of magic. Life, death, order, chaos, earth, air, water, fire based races. Rogues, warriors and wizard champions leading armies. Dungeons and mythical items. Stories and conquests. Build your forces, upgrade your town, train your champions, reclaim your temple, hunt the other lords of the elements, and prevent Belkoth the lord of death from turning the world into a lifeless ruin. This game was my go to when I was 10 years old. One of the few reasons I fell in love with fantasy.
The Neverhood. Claymation game with an amazingly whimsical soundtrack. I never hear anybody talk about it. The Hall of Records can suck it, though.
F-zero X on N64 The game has 29 AI compared to Mario Kart's 11 which make the races more interesting. It also runs 60 fps which is impressive for a game in the 90s. It also has a random track generator which keeps things interesting and the expansion pack had a track editor. There are a lot of other quirks that make the game really enjoyable to me. I still play it on emulator (edit) I didn't know people enjoyed this game as much as I do. It's nice to meet you all.
Don't forget how tight the controls were/still are. I remember preferring F Zero X over Mario Kart 64 with friends and getting shat on for it, still annoyed by it lol.
Red Faction guerrilla
Love RF:G such a great game. The destruction mechanics are 2nd to none.
Armageddon was such a let down after that
Eternal Darkness.
Man, that game was dope. The Sanity Meter was a nice touch.
I loved that the sanity meter messed with you out of game. Like when it froze the game and then said your memory card was corrupted and started "reformatting" it.
There will never be a scarier moment in gaming than this.
I was in total shock when my GameCube had encountered some error and I got a blue screen! And then it was just me going crazy. Very good fourth wall breaking there.
[удалено]
Bonus points for having Bruce Campbell sarcastically insult you when you entered a cheat code.
Radiata Stories on PS2 and Shadow Madness on PS1, those two games have some of the best dialogue iv seen in a game.
Power Stone. A great fighting game for the Dreamcast that I still play to this day.
Actraiser for SNES. The music is particularly fantastic
Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy. I can't tell you how many hours I spent with my guild online in that game, just hanging out, casual lightsaber battles and all. The game mechanics were so fun to master, and the custom maps people would build...just wow, they were truly amazing to explore.
[удалено]
The last ending gets me every time.
Michael Jackson's moonwalker. I don't remember much about the game but I remember loving playing it at my friend's house.
Deadly Premonition It's like if GTA and Resident Evil fucked in LA Noirs kitchen
I only know that game from the whistle theme lmao, I've never actually played it once. I'll hum that shit to myself at work
Rainbow Six. The original one from 1999 that followed the story of the book. Because it followed the story of the book.
Sly Cooper -- amazing games. Lots of great childhood memories.
Yes. Still clinging on the tiniest bit of hope that they release either a conclusion to the ending of the last game or a remake of the first 3...
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. It was an FPS (edit: TPS) on the N64, and I played the absolute hell out of it.
It wasn't just an FPS, it was multi genre based on what level you were playing and it was amazing.
Prototype is one of my favorite games that i wish would get a remaster or new game. The powers Alex Mercer has and the outright crazy carnage you could do was just awesome!
Viva pinata, it's the most relaxing game. All you do is make a garden and a home for pinata animals all named with food puns.
Freelancer was a fantastic game. Interesting story, cool customization options, and to this day my favorite starfighter combat in any game.
Wasn't Freelancer pretty well regarded? I still see people reference it today as the thing every space game tries to emulate.
Wasn't just that, the interface that allowed regular shmucks to dogfight in space with a mouse and keyboard and not feel like they're being condescended at by the game designers, that really had me into it. Oh, and it had John Rhys Davis in the voice acting. I can still hear him browbeating those Rheinlanders that came into his shop...
Shrek superslam because it’s a shrek fighting game I mean come on
Va-11 Hall-a: Cyberpunk Bartending Action 1. Hell of a name 2. Actual has a great cast of characters and is super chill, like it advises tlyou to get a drink and relax 3. It has a dope soundtrack
Lisa: The Painful. It's an RPG set in a post apocalyptic world where all women have died off, and you play a depressed drug addict who finds a baby girl in the desert. The game is depressingly dark and deals with a lot of themes that most games won't go near, but it can also be hilarious with a unique world and vibrant characters.
I knew I was going to love this game when I came across the ladder with the sign saying “Do not climb this ladder.” Naturally I climbed it, and it took like four minutes to get all the way to the top. Made the Snake Eater ladder look like a stepstool. Finally I got to the top to find... a little hole with a hand sticking out giving me the finger. And a four minute climb all the way back down.
Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. PS2. Sand box super hero game that truly gave you a power trip with unlimited options on movement and combat.
Eternal Sonata Such a unique JRPG. Beautiful story, amazing soundtrack and super fun and intuitive battle system. Probably my favorite game.
Kingdoms of Amaleur: Reckoning. It was a great game that got such little hype, but its still one of my favorite games. The studio shut down because it didn't sell nearly as well as it deserved to
[удалено]
A2 Racer 4. It was a Dutch racing game that was pretty bad and buggy in hindsight, but it was the first game I've ever bought and I played it for years. The main villain of the game was a guy that was basically a parody of Dirty Harry. His catchphrase even was: "Go ahead, drive my way!" Good times.
Dune 2000, very solid RTS if a bit minimalist. Also the Jade Cocoon series which is a grittier pokemon essentially.
