Not so much underrated games, but ones you have played (good or bad) that seem to have completely dropped off the gaming radar.

Mine was 'Sphinx and the Mummy' - glitchy and frustrating in places, but not bad enough to really hate...

Crusader: No Remorse. As a lad I couldn't get enough of it but now I mention the name to my friends and I get blank stares. The controls were awful but you could kill innocents with a variety of nasty weapons. Plus your weapons dealer had a weasel. Speaking of, I think I'm going to go play some...

How about Quarantine? The weird zombie influenced Taxi game of ages ago?

That was amazing...

Well, it was good. And I loved it. And that is all that is necessary.

Warhammer´s Dark Omen anyone...?

First realistic (well kind of) tactic simulation I´ve played and great fun.
Except that your mages' spells were chosen randomly before each battle. That sucked baaaaaadly.

PREY... theres about 20 servers and 0 players online.
And then on wiremod.com I played a little arcade game called tontie... And the top score was 0 - O_o

Future Cop: LAPD was awesome, as was Ranger X for the megadrive. Anyone play outwars on the PC? Arcade-action mech fighting. Great game.

I agree on Future Cop, especially that second mode where you had to get one of your tanks to the enemies base.

Psychonants (even with Yahtzee's review)

Darwinia, which, while not a bad game, is too short on its campaign.

I've played Prey, but for all of 10 minutes.

Am I the only one out there still playing Unrel Championship 2?

Anyone besides me played the old ass NES fantasy adventure game 'Arkista's Ring'?

One more vote for Prey.
I played through all of the campaign and then I went online and nobody on the servers.

Future Cop! You played it? Yeah... It was great... I picked up a copy in India a while back, loved it.

Oh, and Anachronox - game with an engine old even for its time, and very dated for now, but it had wit, charm, and humour (actually funny humour). I found it great!

PREY was fantastic - came out at the wrong time.

I remember playing Gender Wars.

Warzone 2100 - a brilliant concept that had me hooked. I probably woudnt still be playing games at all if it wasn't for this game. Ieven own both versions.

Its pretty good, though kept crashing on my old machine so didnt get far into it before giving up in frustration.

Ground Zero: Genesis of a new world. Anyone played it &, if so, did you also think it was the worst game you ever played?

GTA2 multiplayer. Yeah, GTA IV isnt the first GTA to have multiplayer (not including San Adreas' co-op crap). Anyone else give it a go?

Bet On Soldier. I liked the concept at least, anyone else?

Obtuse Game Man to the rescue!

Surely someone must've played Motor Toon Grand Prix, or did I just imagine it?

One of my all time favourite point-and-click adventure games is Neverhood, anyone else played it?, its really fun and its unique in the fact that Everything is made in clay and shot with Stop-Motion techniques. :)

Hogs of War - Worms 3D with pigs and voice-overs by Rick Mayal. The most amazing thing about the game was how it managed to get a Worms-style game to work in 3D, yet the Worms franchise still hasn't managed this itself.

"I have a Capitalist party in my head".

Psi-Ops. That game was amazing, and yet it completely died. Last time I heard about it was over 2 years ago when some nobody with a bad case of unwarranted self-importance tried suing Midway for copyright infringement.

I remember it well. Countries named Arstria and Saustralasia, stupid sound effects... a riot indeed.

Has anyone played Hostile Waters, Giants: Citizen Kabuto or Sacrifice? Tell me I'm not the only one who fell in love with these legendary pieces of gaming genius, all of which were so far ahead of their time that their ideas have only recently been incorporated into the gaming mainstream.

And of course the cursory shoutout to ADOM, just to see if there are any other roguelike fans floating about.

Oh, hell yeah. I always forget to mention these ones because I always assumed that people actually played them. Hostile Waters I'm not that big a fan of (even though Warren fucking Ellis wrote the script, but Giants and Sacrifice are works of pure, utter, demented genius. Love em to bits.

Anyone play MDK 2? I think it sank like a stone when it was released, despite it being one of the best third person action games ever made. Shame, that.

Freedom Fighters was a great game that's rarely talked about anywhere ever.

You should message me sometime. I like playing it online, but I can only do it like once a month at the most.

I liked it too. And Giants: Citizen Kabuto, even if it was a tad broken and the manual's backstory was confusing. - it was fun though, especially the great cut scenes and the cynical humour.

Hositile waters was good too, I loved the fictional backstory to that (Utopian future threatened by returning despots from 'the good ole days'). The gameplay reminded me of Battlezone, or Urban Assault (I only played a demo of that, heh)

Pax Galaxia? Something of a variant on Risk, but over-simplified.

The concept was interesting, although sadly the gameplay was poor, the environments bland, and the backstory was...meh. I regretted buying this, as it seemed nicer in my imagination.

Absolutely loved the Otogi games. Increadible graphics for it's time, haunting authentic Japanese music and enviroments so destructable you think that THQ let them use their GeoMod engine from Red Faction. Good times!

Crush. One of the most innovative games in a long while and it was on the PSP of all things.
