Aside from that, are there any Myst fans on here? I'm sure everyone and their dog has played the original, but it seems rare to come across people who actually had enough faith that it would improve to buy the sequels. |

Hell yes. One of the most odd/dark games for circa 1993, but addictive. Had a rather open world, considering it was about the same release as Doom 2, Heretic & other pure linear gigs. Much more recent - but I have not for the life of me been able to convince a group of fellow gamers to fire up a copy of Stalker. |

Gradius V - one of the last of a dying breed of gaming. Myst: Revelation - would be great to see a Nintendo Wii version released. Nick Bounty - best freeware game ever |

God I love psi-ops picked it up for 10 a couple years ago. Anyone heard of Chaos Legion it is surprisingly good hack and slash with a somewhat intricate story.(read the manual our the story is screwed up beyond belief). |

Played a lot of one. Didn't complete it though. As you get to a point and it says "Now go back and finish this level on a time limit etc to unlock more story." No. I bored now. Fun at the beginning though. Anyone play "Overboard!"? That was a fun game, got a bit hard though. |

That game rocked. I liked all the comedy names like "Herr Kutt" on the German team and stuff like that. The upgrade system wasn't bad either. |

It was a great game and had one of the best guns in a semi-FPS, the Tesla cannon! Fire off a ball of lightening and go racing after it as it rips apart anything it comes in contact with, cars, zombies, pedestrians, whatever. I also wonder if anyone remembers playing the PC game Dreamweb. It caused a lot of controversy at the time due to the sex scene and over the top violence. Despite all the hoo-har it was actually a decent game. |

I played a demo of it for Dreamcast. I liked the part where I controlled some dog man with four arms that could carry a gun in each hand. Fun times. I feel compelled to list all of my Turbo Grafx and Sega Master System games, seeing as how no one I know even owns either of them, but I'll just go with a few games from each.

No, it just got ripped on for being linear, not emphasizing enough on the evil character bit, killing off James Bond, and such. |

You can't exactly fault a game for not re-iterating why Doctor No is an evil bastard, and they never actually killed James Bond. Linearity was a bit much though, but it didn't destroy the game. |

Muckraker  Posts: 329 Joined: 6 Mar 2008 | I never played The Neverhood, but I always wanted to after seeing an ad for it in PC Gamer. Although I did play Skullmonkeys, a sidescrolling platformer in the same setting, on the PS1. Great game, very funny. And I also have played a demo of Drakan, it seemed pretty sweet. That was the one with the chick that could ride a dragon, right? An obscure game of mine is Vampire: The Masquerade: Redemption. It's the same setting as V:TM: Bloodlines (which I've seen quite a few people on here mention), except you start in medieval times and then jump to the present later. It was pretty good, although that's before I was a "serious" gamer and wouldn't have known better. |

dude i played that game. it rocked. a serious sense of humor and a bunch of fun ways to play. althoguh the doctor levels kinda sucked sometimes. but hell yeah playing as a janitor with a super suit or a mechanical chain smoking dog was chill. awesome game! also ive played hydro thunder. thatss one of the best arcade games out there. i love the racing and im pretty good at it tooo. it was really a great game. anyone ever play lego island? that game was terrific. a lot of fun and a better free roaming game than san andreas. thats right, i said it. what you gonna do about it. heres a couple more i want to know about. anyone played seaman? that was fun. you got yelled at by leonard nemoy in a fish body. also shenmue? or 2? those were great, and im currently working through 2. also anyone ever played gizmos and gadgets? it was one of those kids games that had you fnd peices of cars and things by solving puzzles and you had to use those peices to engineers faster vehicles to win races. that was an awesome game. |

Muckraker Posts: 322 Joined: 11 Jan 2008 | Yeah, I played MDK2 but I didn't think it was all that. The music rocked, and it was fun to a point, but I do remember getting irated with it after a while. I do remember the art direction being fantastic though. Way before Psychonauts. I'm trying to play through Shenmue once again, before playing the second, but just can't get into it again. Shenmue feels like one of those experiences where, once you've played it round the first time, never again. Or maybe that's just me. I had Hydro Thunder on the PSX, and that ruled. I've been meaning to get the DC version for a while. I just wish it were 4 players. Still; 2's better than 1. I wish someone here would say they'd played Under Defeat. |

Paperboy  Posts: 45 Joined: 25 Jan 2008 | I would have to go with... Mount & Blade. The community, while not small, is quite obscure. At least in my opinion... And I feel as though I am the only one who has EVER played it... You can ride around, attack pirates, attack villages, attack castles, attack cities... You can attack pretty much anyone... And the noises the weapons make when they bite into the flesh of those evil Nord bastards, wonderful! Oh, and when you kill all the soldiers in a fortress/city, you can ask your king to give it to you! YAY! The whole point of the game is to kill everyone... I think... It's still in it's beta, and you can only get up to level 6 without paying... And, in M&B, level 6 ain't gonna get you any where... But, at higher levels, it rocks! Also, Sacrifice... Awesome game... |

Freedom Force and Freedom Force: Rise of the Third Reich. Absolutely loved them, loved creating my own weird superheroes and having them knock out a T-rex. Or Italian Nazi opera singers.
The games had a lovely tounge-in-cheek style to them, and the narrator's voice always cracked me up. All 'ail absurd alliterations!
However, Third Reich kinda ruined it a bit by having the second half of the game be a cheap knockoff of the X-men's Phoenix storyline, and thus take itself WAY, WAAAY too seriously all of a sudden.
Aside that, I wonder sometimes if I'm alone on earth in absolutely loving Tyrian, a stunning old DOS shoot-em-up with a STORYLINE. (Yes, you heard me right) I mean, c'mon! You can fly around in a carrot launching beams a third of the screen wide, and STILL have a surprisingly intricate and interesting story!
And the music...Jeez, the music was amazing. By far the best soundtrack I ever heard in a shoot-em-up.
