I remember DIG. I never liked the whole "point and click" thing but that one was beautifully done. Oh, and "Little Big Adventure" love x2...

Do you mean The Dig, by Lucasarts? That was a fantastic game. They all were, like the poster above me says.

I believe I do indeed mean "The Dig"! Lucasarts was one of the great games companies before it sold out and the most talented developers left to start their own company and the remainder started doing endless Star Wars remakes...

I wonder if someone here has played worms blast. It is basically a bust-a-move game with a great 2 player versus mode (featuring loads of weapons), and a catchy soundtrack.

Many may have been put off since it really wasn't a "worms" game, but Ive still had so many great moments with it in the multiplayer. I hope it will come on xbox live arcade someday.

any one ever played soldiers heros of ww2

So sad, but so true...

Wavy Navy - a game on my Apple IIe. It was simple, it was awesome, it was green and black. I was young enough to still have a bed time and I remember being jealous of my father who would put us to bed, creep into the basement and then play some more!

Another game I love and was ecstatic to be able to download on the Wii (which makes me think others MUST have played it too, even though no one EVER knows what I am talking about!) is The Legend of Kage - such a silly game, repetitive, annoying music, but it has always entertained me!

Sexual Harassment Panda:
I really liked Ico and Giants: Citizen Kabuto, they seemed to be largely overlooked. Does anyone remember a game called Severence: Blade of Darkness?...that game was awesome.

Don't know if I said this already, but Giants: CK was a funny game with an interesting if not entirely successful play style. A pity they haven't made G:CK 2, cus I think they were onto something.

Evil Genius- a kind of Dungeon Keeper Remake, but you play the kind of guy who's normally the villain in James Bond Movies, build your own secret Hideout and try to take over the World.

Gun- A 3rd person shooter set in the Wild West, altough it is not as open-worlded as it claims ( It was described as "GTA in the Wild West") it's still fun especially the horseback shootouts.

Actually, tell a lie, Armed and Dangerous was pretty much G:CK 2, although I missed the base building elements, heh, but the humour was still there.

Ah, Evil Genius - a wonderful idea, with a reasonable execution.

Indeed, the fall of LucasArts was a horrible shame, as Yahtzee implied once (in his Pyschonaunts review, I think). The clever, smart, fun games from them were great.

Saltinecracker:
Baten Katos? any one?

Yup,played it, loved it, got annoyed when the prequel wasn't released in Europe...

BasicMojo07:
Anyone here ever hear of Lufia?

...no?

Yes, Rise of the Sinistrals was a great game.

HA! I love you!

Operation Flashpoint by Codemasers.. That was a grand and epic game. Complete with the best editor ever made

Indeed, Flashpoint was a good game, although it had a fair few faults. Abit like Red Orchestra in that it treated realism above fun/gameplay, although no-where near as bad as Red Orchestra and actually fun to play.

Red Dead Revolver?
Sonic R(racing)?

anyone?

I'm curious as to whether anyone else here has played Magical Starsign. (If you haven't, don't, unless you're a borderline suicidal desperately looking for one last thing to push you over the edge...)

Also, did anyone besides me ever even touch the GBC Pokemon TCG? I know that's horrible and sad and pathetic, but seeing as I've never met anyone else who played it, I still wonder.:P

I was sure I was the only person I knew who had or had played Wild Arms but one of my friends at uni saw it in my games collection and demanded to see the opening sequence. I love that opening sequence. Sergio Leone, very much so.

Devil Dice and the sequel Bombastic, which is much much better.

Musashi: Samurai Legend - no one knows what the hell I'm talking about. I still play it today! I'm waiting on a sequel, GODDAMMIT!

Spectral VS Generation - I LIKED IT. It was cheap and cheerful and was really only worth the eight quid I paid for it but it was eight quid, what do you expect? GTA5? No. Exactly. Definitely worth a quick punt.

Mr Domino (or NO ONE CAN STOP MR DOMINO!) - I loved this when it first came out... now I'm a little perplexed as to why it takes me six or seven goes to get past the first level again.

Granstream Saga - I coulda sat on a typewriter and written a better story but it was a charming little RPG, albeit in a slightly Yaroze kinda way (anyone remember the Yaroze?! Yaroze demos on the OPSM demo discs!!!! My God, that's taking me back...)

Bloody Roar - I don't know ANYONE that's heard of it. The first one absolutely rocked. The later ones not so much.

Also, I played Future Cop LAPD! I found it for £3.99 in Game's Pre-Owned section and I HAD TO HAVE IT. It's another hidden gem that everyone should play. I remember playing the demo level for months cos I loved it that much. I used to time myself on that one level alone and when I got the game about six years later, I totally outdid my time on that level cos I remember where everything was, where the enemies were and how to save all my ammo. How sad does that make me?

That's rhetorical, by the way. SHUSH.

Scrapland; it's a quirky sci-fi racer with amazingly sweet humour.

Limasol:
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.
http://warzone2100.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warzone_2100

i played it the only reason i didnt like it was because it took up to much space on my memory card.
any one heard of the dune rts for the pc i loved the cyborg lookin dudes

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father. To this day, I still ask my wife in his goofy 'good old boy' voice, "Tell me about yourself".

Isn't that the game where one of the fighters changes into a rabbit?

Raid on Bungling Bay, an old Broderbund NES game. My grandparents gave it to me for Christmas. Years later IGN did a feature wherein they had developers comment on some of their earliest games, and the lead designer didn't even recognize it. It was so obscure, I'm pretty sure it showed up in Strongbad's disk case in one episode.

Obscurity aside, it was also one of the worst games I've ever owned. Uncle-rapingly bad.

Shining Force II-- Sword of Hajya.

And the very concept of the GAME COM-- I loved it, which foreshadows my immense love of the DS.

Librarian Mike:
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father. To this day, I still ask my wife in his goofy 'good old boy' voice, "Tell me about yourself".

Oh how I loved this game. Unfortunately I know nothing about the voice, because I didn`t have the CD version (yes kids, back in ye olden days you had to buy the deluxe Compact Disc version and actually have a drive to play it on to hear the dialogue).

As for me - `Darklands`. An RPG by the legendary-yet-now-defunct Microprose Studios, taking place in medieval Germany, with all the folklore and Christian beliefs. Imagine that instead of casting spells you pray to actual saints for guidance or help. Or instead of fighting some nameless evil you fight Satan, the man himself. It was something different. The game is full of bugs, but it`s worth overlooking them. I think it`s become legally downloadable now, I recommend you try it, if you have the patience.

Bloody Roar - I don't know ANYONE that's heard of it. The first one absolutely rocked. The later ones not so much.

I loved it. Only because the Mole was INCREDIBLY overpowered. Three slashes and my brother was down.

Puzzle Fighter Turbo II (especially PRE-PSX/XBOX Live) was my favorite game of all time for a majority of my life.

Ren and Stimpy on the SNES (......I found this ridiculously hard as a 7 year old)
Around the World in 80 Days (a LucasArt Story Book game where the "magical interactive paint brushes" help the protagonist)

This FANTASTIC Japanese Ps1 game where its multiplayer (I think 8 people max if you had the extension for the controllers). The basic idea was to not die within the time limit while throwing Rocks/Triangular bombs at people in a variable amount of landscapes (there was a Maoi one where they bit you, one with a LASER robot in the middle and another where a Big Rock turned into a gigantic dinosaur...)

...I thought it was pretty awesome back in the day.

Also a PS1 Japanese running game where you were extremely tiny and ran around things like Toilet Bowls and the Desk of some guy. It was like Katamari minus the rolling.

I always wanted that game. But when I decided I did want to play it, suddenly the price of it went sky high(?)

Had the 2nd. Loved it. But the 3rd one stank. Cos' once you played DOA2 and Soul Calibur, just about every other fighter felt extremely limited and dated.

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father. To this day, I still ask my wife in his goofy 'good old boy' voice, "Tell me about yourself".

Lol, did she play the game with you? That would have been great.

Funnily enough I'm one of the few hard-core adventure gamers that didn't enjoy it quite as much as everyone else did. Fantastic game though, just didn't quite click with me.

Puzzle Fighter Turbo II (especially PRE-PSX/XBOX Live) was my favorite game of all time for a majority of my life.

Yeah, that game ruled 2-players. The gba version was really good too. I'm considering getting the Dreamcast version at a later date.

Sonic R(racing)?

Yep, I played that to death back in the day. Loved exploring the locations also. I even used to sing to the cheesy songs playing in the background.

Gladius? anyone? sorta like a turn-based gladiator game, except you could get yetis and minotaurs, and meshed loads of mythological creatures together. me and my friend played that together for ages. had a great rock-paper-scissors element. oh and forgot to mention, another Lucas Arts game.

That would be Alice. She was always my favourite (behind Long - shame about the personality but who WOULDN'T wanna turn into a Tiger given the chance?) Bakuryu was the mole, wasn't he? I coulda SWORN he was really old in the first game and yet suddenly turned into some sort of ninja-esque teenager. And since when was FOX a bloke?! I never, EVER knew that till about three months ago!!!

I still have Puzzle Fighter on the PSOne. I originally bought it when it came out, sold it for seventy quid and then bought it again for six quid in Game. I still had the save on my memory card... I loved the little intermissions. They made me howl originally!

Did anyone here ever play "Star Wars: Rebel Assault"?
I bought it when I was much younger and never ran into anyone who has ever played it.
I don't even know if it did all that well (which it probably didn't).

Mutant Penguins, has anyone played this game? Has anyone even HEARD of this game?

Shadow of Memories......................... anyone?

Freelancer. There was virtully no-one on the multiplayer till recently.

NES:
Rockin' Cats. A game where you play a cat in a sweet hat (not unlike that of Yahtzee), toting a gun that fires a fist, to rescue your surprisingly scantily-dressed girlfriend. Had some really clever level design and awesome graphics for the NES.

SNES:
Tiny Toons Wild 'n' Wacky Sports (or Wacky Sports Challenge in the US, I think). Awesome party game with great humor and even greater music.

PS1:
Destrega! My favorite fighting game EVER. It let you fire the most awesomely spectacular Dragonball-esque energy projectiles with a single button press. The environments were large and varied, the controls were about as intuitive as it gets, and the story mode actually had a story that played out as you beat opponent after opponent.
This is pretty much the only game I really miss.

Um Jammer Lammy, the lesser-known sequel to Parappa the Rapper. Great music, great humor, adorable characters.

PC:
Xtreme-G 2. I got it for free with my video card. Everyone bashes it, but to this day I haven't found a game that could provide the same awesome sense of speed.

Megarace 2. The racing itself sucked ass, but the visuals still floor me, and the between-race cutscenes are freaking HILARIOUS.

B4D 9R4MM3R:
7th Legion - Good game spoilt by insane AI difficulty
Descent 1 ][ and 3 - All good games but severely unknown to the gaming community at large. I doubt most people know what a 360DOFFPS is these days...
Little Big Adventure 1&2 - Great games with some great music

I still play Descent 1 & 2. They released some files not too long ago that converts the game into an OpenGL game that allows you to play it on XP and Vista. It runs quite well too. From what I've heard there are still people who play online with Descent 3, though I haven't got that one.
