ITT: Forgotten games that deserve to be remembered

one of the best collectathon games

...

Im only 1/4 nig faggot

Looks pretty good, getting a Stronghold vibe from the pics. Does it have more depth?

You know this shit just got a PS4 remaster? I only ever got to play the 1st and 3rd games, so this is almost like a new entry for me, havin' a blast!

Has anyone played this? I fucking love it. There's an open source version now.

Still have my copy from 1997. I shill Open-IG whenever possible.

Never played this game myself, I watched a friend play it after school. I mostly remember a strangely bleak backstory retelling in great detail how the ayys were exterminating humanity. It might have been only in the manual, but I never quite forgot it for this reason.

I tried emulating it but found it unplayable on keyboard, so I can't really vouch for the gameplay itself.

I came to post this

today you have proved me that Holla Forums still has hope

Strange Journey

...

I haven't played the 2nd one is it as good as the first?

I've seen Body Harvest posted on Holla Forums multiple times user. ParaLLEl actually works with it so it's playable now.

game is better than what I remembered, hope the 3rd one end up on the PS4

They fucked with the character models in the american release of CT2, they were cutesy like the first one.

I was a child last time I played them I don't know sheit.

But I do know that they added a bunch of moves, including grabbing ledges with your tongue, a parasol glider, and being able to swing on horizontal bars.
I got stuck at the toyland boss, but I liked it as much as the first game back then.

henhenhen

Sacrifice was really cool. I don't know why nobody ever tried to make something similar, I guess the closest were the RTS levels in Giants, another game that deserves more attention.

ITT faggots who don't use the catalog

8ch.net/v/res/10338249.html

What scent of paint were the US huffing when they chose their box art, though?

Any great, niche and or esoteric classic WRPGs?

Underrated and forgotten are not the same.

...

Is it good? I've stumbled upon the open source version about ten times now, but I still haven't tried it out.

...

Forgot my pic.

Third person shooter that involved special mind powers, had cool physics and mind control systems. If you used cheats to play as different characters they have different stats, restrictions, and abilities that match their character. You could stand on a wooden pallete or anything and surf on it while shooting dudes.

No, that game is really not very good.

Best Looney Toons game there is.

It's probably super obvious to spot now but that had me and my brother laughing so fucking much.

The actual game is really good and worth a go.

I like it. Don't know if you played the original but you manage colonies to get enough money to build fleets, upgrade your ships, etc. It's played in real time.

Anyone else here have a childhood?

It has a big total war style strategy map, the game has a bigger scale than stronghold.

Sacrifice a great

I liked Bugs Bunny Lost in Time. It's a good collectathon.

rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=9453

...

Gex is the shit user. Can you imagine the butthurt from SJWs if you tried to include someone from Playboy nowadays?

Agreed. Its a shame maybe a blessing that Squeenix basically gave up on the series, putting it up for grabs. I seriously hope someone takes up that mantle.

Are there any trustworthy devs with experience doing that type of thing left? I'd rather Gex stay dead than come out cinematic. Also the British VA was superior.

Anyone care to make a Tiberian Sun:Reborn thread?

You're killing me.

OK

The amount of detail they put in that one Monkey Soccer game was incredible. Every monkey you caught had like 10 stats each.

Only in Gex 2. I mean, I see what you mean, but I just feel like I need more. I mean, he's gotten fucking nothing for so long, I'd even take a remaster or some shit. Anime Channel was the fucking best.

...

I was going to post this game. Body Harvest is fucking amazing, and full of fun. I played through it several times, and only really stopped because my n64 controller broke.

Another game that deserves more is Gunvalkyrie. Nice and challenging gameplay, with good music, good graphics, and lots of style.

It can't be any worse than what they did to Spyro, I suppose. At the very least he's unlikely to show up in Skylanders.

So you are supporting my opinion that Dana Gould is obviously better? Because that's what I hear in this footage.

Yeah. Though it pains me to say it, if they kept the fun environments and platforming, I'd even be fine with him keeping his trap shut the whole time during gameplay. I mean, I know that's part of the charm, but honestly, I was always in love with the design and look of the levels considering how different they all are.

I don't know why, but I really liked this game. And she was also mai waifu btw.

My negro.
I un-ironically consider this to have the best mechanics of any kart racer. There are a few things it's missing, though. It's begging to be taken less seriously. Just imagine - moon base levels, factory levels, casino levels, skate park levels, fucking GRIND RAILS for karts…

I would have a lot of fun designing a karting game.

The variety is what really sells it to me. They could easily have gotten away with half as many settings and longer levels but instead you got it all.

Silly user. Your ears are clearly broken.

fucking love jade cocoon, the 2nd game didn't hold up I feel

I dunno, not him but a game based around hoping through lvels based of TV show themes worked with Gould, albeit the sound bytes played a bit too often for my liking

Exactly. Hell, I even loved how in every level, they put him in costumes to fit the theme, some of them having powers. Shit was fucking amazing. I'd say the only problem I really had was with Gex 3 having extremely shitty boss fights.

My Nigger.
THALION: Dragonflight, Amberstar, Ambermoon, Lionheart
Blue Byte: Battle Isle, Incubation, Die Siedler 1
Max Design/Sunflowers: Anno 1602,1503

It might just be a cultural or even nostalgia thing. I've seen it played with Gould's VA and it just seems too brash for my tastes.

Also the powers didn't feel like marketing gimmicks as if often the case with platformers. Varied levels but each fitting in with the overall themes of the game instead of being a disconnected roller-coaster ride.

Agreed. It's one of the few sequels that manages to expand the core game without sacrificing anything in the process.

Outcast

french version had the hero dubbed by Bruce Willis french voice, which is very good and characteristic.

Really adds a lot to the game.

While looking for pic, I found out that game was re-released as "1.1", is it any good ? Better than original game with community fixes ?

I also discovered I apparently already own this new version gog, which I completely forgot even existed.

I played the crap out the sequel.
They're both excellent and unique.
I should download this right now.

I've never met anyone who's played it but me.

Holy shit OP, I've been trying to remember the name of this game for years. Thank you so much.

...

I keep forgetting to play this game. I've been wanting it since 1999.

Great game, really way, way ahead of its time. Pity the female character is a nigger sow though.

But anyway, the game is divided into several levels, and each level can be tackled in any order you like, but what's more completing one level has an effect on all the rest.

So, for example, if you fuck up the regime's weapon manufacturing their soldiers will then use weaker weapons.

And this on top of all the side quests that are to be had, and the fucking orgasmic music.

MY FUCKING NIGGA THAT SHIT IS TIGHT.

It has something I really want to see more of: shoot'm up style bosses with destructiblr limbs in a 3D game. The only thingd that sucked about the game was how long you had to go between saves and hoe fucking tiny the draw distance was. Rad as fuck game though

Very rarely do i see this posted considering it's definitely on top10 of best fps games/series ever made.

Monolith truly were one of the greats of the fps genre. NOLF1's source code was released and a great widescreen patch released which is nice for anyone who wants to give it a go. It does do weird things with silencers on guns but otherwise works fine.

this is a screenshot of an attempted rewritting of Outcast as a crysis mod.
Original Outcast terrain wont look like that at all, since they are simple height-maps, of course, but it was stunning for its time, if you had a CPU big enough to run it at a decent resolution.

Height-map rendering used the CPU, the GPU was only used to render the 3D models such as characters, items, and structures

well yep, not arguing that
Also it really was ahead of its time, I'd even say it's still ahead of current time because no open-world currently does that.

Ubisoft should take note, it would save us from having only one game reskinned at nauseam (ass-creed = farcry = the game with orcs = etc.)

...

While I still enjoy it 2 made a good few mistakes that hold it back from 10/10 territory. Infinitely respawning guards was a terrible idea designed to punish people who liked to remove every guard from the map. To me the gunplay also felt a lot poorer and not being able to choose your equipment before a mission was annoying (granted the De Lisle carbine was a tad OP). The first few levels are also rather limited. Certainly the game improved as it went on and I've warmed to it over time but not up to the same level of perfect as the first game imo.

my brother played the 2nd one. Got all the weapons and Maxed out everything

Thanks for posting this. It's been swimming through my mind but I could only remember the box art, not the name of the game or even how it really played. Anyone know of any good let's plays that detail how this game works?

That annoyed the crap out of me on the underwater base.

The Siberia level was great though not as neat as most nolf1 levels esp that one you are in that ship.

Space Station was good but I can't believe how fucking underrated Rocket was and still is. If there's faggots out there who thought they've played all the 3D collectathon/platfomers out there and haven't played this shit then you really do need to fucking do so. It emulates almost perfectly.

I rather liked the drunken slav pilot too. The only issue with Siberia is how fucking long it is.
Doesn't it make up almost half of the game or is my memory making it seem worse than it is?

Also great soundtrack.

...

the level is really long, because after you do the tasks during day time, you invade a base during night time as well

But you did not.
How much did your brother play? Maxing everything out takes forever.

Not to mention drive around for ages before even getting into the base. It's possible the rest of the game was just shorter, I suppose, but I distinctly remember that mission being a disproportionate amount of the overall playtime.

On a non-NOLF note picrelated is fucking fun.

Maybe not half but 1/3rd atleast though Siberia also seemed to have the most to read from opening those file cabinets around compared to other levels where there wasnt much to open or just contained generic junk.

I allways loved reading those recipes on how to make Russian cabbage soup and giving more insight into how H.A.R.M operates.

Maybe the biggest issue on Nolf1 vs 2 for me is that 2 sort of feels like Austin Powers while the first game was James Bond.

apparently he got the secret ending with the giant face and the main dude looking at the sky so I assumed he got and maxed out everything.
sorry for misinformation

I suspect it isn't that Siberia was long as much as the rest of the game was too short. It certainly has enough detail to back up its length.

Wasn't that the recipe hidden in the safe?

That's a good way to put it actually. 2's more blatant humour didn't entertain me quite as much as the first game's generally more subtle humour. Still funny just not hilarious.

Holy crap.
That ending is tough as nails to get.
Once you finish the game you get three super difficult gauntlets that reset you and restricts you as well.
I won't lie, I only got that ending because I had a cracked PSP with cheats and got myself a ton of HP in these gauntlets.

No idea, i dont even remember if it had 'Vodka' as one of the ingredients.

astro boy games on GBC
FAKK 2 heavy metal
zoombinis
ghouls and goblins
oddworld stranglers wrath
conker's bad furday kinda forgotten

I have a physical copy of rocket actually… I still haven't played it though.

Your FUCKED!

collecting all the shit in this was quite a pain but it was fun nonetheless

MY NIGGA
Did you know that whoever has the rights now released it on Steam? I wouldn't buy it again and give Valve money, but at least more people now get a chance to play it. I still have my original CDs, shit's great.

I'll try playing or hunting down an EU Iso

I really miss fun third person shooters, not that boring over the shoulder/hide and shoot shit we get nowadays. Stuff like the mdk games or Citizen Kabuto

That game was kinda mediocre wasn't it? I remember getting hype and then being disappointed when it came out.

SJ is not forgotten, I see it every time someone makes a SMT thread

God I love Descent, but with how shit everything is these days, maybe it's best it stays buried deep.

For the different VA? Good luck user.

Is that second picture Project Eden? I've never understood why they had combat but kept the enemies you killed dead when you respawned. Makes it a pointless timewaste in an otherwise solid game. The Ball (another puzzle game) had the exact same issue.

lol, pc gaming.

...

This game was a god damn diamond in the rough if there ever was one. Trot mobile combat was actually fucking fun even if the controls were unusual depending on how you play and you could be so many things.

The game gave you solid choices, you could woo a lot of girls and actually bang them. You could take over an abandoned mansion and force squatting orphans and a nun to pay you rent or get them adopted.

At some point a mutherfucker kidnaps your friends and you can down right say you don't give a shit, he offers you a cut of the profits after rigging a fighting competition if you compete and you can basically grab him by the balls and take 70% or have him thrown in jail.

You can join the BBEG For an entirely different game. Hell all your choices matter and have different responses.

This game had depth.
This game had its faults too but god damn it was amazing for a little nip ps2 title.

It has an amusing light-hearted story that draws you in and hits you hard when you don't expect it.

n-not to mention it has some nice outfit choices and mixnmatch if you're into that.

I liked both these games a lot

Rocket felt like it had some level design issues, though

And Space Station Silicon Valley had that thing where one of the gold trophies couldn't be collected due to collision issues. I didn't understand games when I was that young so I thought I was doing something wrong and it wasn't only until years later I realized the devs are the ones who fucked up

Fun fact, Silicon Valley was made by DMA design, the fuckers who turned into Rockstar and make GTA

Which I guess makes some sense since the game was basically GTA with robot animals instead of cars

God I miss oldschool 3d when realism was impossible so people just did crazy shit

Third pic is Project Eden, second is MDK2

Not to mention you can get it to run fantastically on PSX2 if you try!
I forgot to include this part, just make sure to read up on it because there's a couple things you need to do however I recommend playing it with an xbox controller as it feels a thousand times better with a controller.

Btw., someone recently reverse engineered Albion and it now natively runs on Windows, Linux and Pandora. The port also supports 4x the original resolution for the 3D areas.

I really want to go play this now but I don't have my DS3 working on this computer.

I've been meaning to play that at some point since I tried it on one of those PS2 demo discs years ago, but I've been too lazy

me too, with almost every game.

I'll never get to play most of the gems I had back then.

Every time I play this game I feel like I'm having a fucked up fever dream.

While it's well known in Holla Forums and /vr/, this game is probably the best in the NES's library but normalfags don't care because they're too busy playing Super Mario Bros 3 on a HDTV.

I'd say it's superior to MLF.

Whoops, I did indeed mean the third pic.

Enemy Nations deserves far more credit than it got.

Based user for pointing this game out. Reminds me a lot of Deadlock.

Christ I barely visit full Holla Forums anymore because of posturing dickheads like you. It had an extremely limited release and it was release well after the hey day of the NES. Stop talking like you know anything.

...

It shows up all the damn time on forgotten games threads, chart threads, and recommendation threads (for good reason). /vr/ fucking loves this game. It's well known on Holla Forums unless you're some faggot who only visits generals and Pokemon threads.

Replayed it. It was crap.

Dreams to Reality was a pc\ps1 platformer that mixed combat and free flight, the levels in particular were straight out of some fantasy french comic.

The sneaking mechanic alone was better executed than most other stealth games, back when everyone was ripping off MGS.

Often times, kids games have fresher and more advanced gameplay than mature, gritty ones. Because fantasy, nonsensical settings are naturally more open to experimentation. And because there's plenty of good devs, who are trapped in these low end projects but still won't give up in making it shine like their dream game.

1NSANE

Ignition

I'm not sure why this game is so overlooked.

Oh shit negro, I had no idea that Psi-Ops ever came to PC. Gonna have to find a way to get that shit running, it was hilarious.

What the fuck?

Holy shit project Eden. My nigga right hur. A recomendation to anyone looking for a gritty jetsons cool puzzle game with light shooting. For maximum comfy play in first person.

Actually the original devs are working on a spiritual successor and some people from Interplay are working on another one. There's an Early Access title out with Descent's name out right now, but its MP only last I checked.

C-Can I get a link to this? I need to play this.

My negroid

Still the best of its kind.

I just tried replaying this game after a couple years. It really deserves to stay forgotten. I wanted to kill myself after playing for an hour. better option was to uninstall the game

>tfw you can never return to this time

Is that a traditional JRPG or a tactical/strategy one? Also, how's the localization quality? Figure it should be asked given it's got NISA on the front and isn't one of the games I see brought up much.

For some reason I seem to remember something along the lines of irem or their current incarnation claiming they were thinking of SC2, but it turned out to be an April fools joke or something.

turn off the RTS missions, for the love of god.

my gigaton nigger

I've never played that game, but I think its cool that it had vid related in it. Maybe I'll check it out one of these days.

Actually thats the sequel. That was fucking stupid of me.

Loved this game. Solid fighter, with a lot of depth on just when to go full beast mode.

Sadly for some reason they went beyond full animu with weird non-animal beast modes rather than something like a shark or a bull.

Great game though.

My nig.
Played it on my cousin's N64 as a kid, and spent years trying to remember the name.

And my finger hit the reply before I put on the image, good job past me… retard.

...

...

Great TCG but reliance on counters made it unwieldy for IRL play and the art was pretty shite. It could have shined much brighter if it came out during current year instead, maybe as a digital only TCG.

Truly the best years of my life.

HOLY SHIT, I CAME HERE WANTING TO POST THIS GAME, BUT COMPLETELY FORGOT THE NAME, THANKS MY ETERNAL NIGGER

I head they were making a fan reboot with cryengine, any news on that?

...

How was I not made aware of such things.

...

Oh god, this is as close as we're probably ever getting to a Lego Racer Sequel A really good one at least.

The customization for both Kart and Vinyl figure thing was spot on, the driving/drifting physics were glorious, there wasn't too much bullshit from the AI. Seriously one of the best Kart games And it got killed in favor of sucking Sackboys burlap dick.

Origin has it for free right now if anyone cares

Considering that nearly the entire GENERA has been forgotten The only gasps of breath being Gas Guzzlers Extreme and Carmageddon: Max Damage which is really nothing compared to what was coming out in the late 90's/early '00

Anyways

Shit forgot to finish my thoughts on Crush hour.

Considering the Genera has been forgotten by an large, I think we could maybe skip over the rather mediocre entry for some actually fun stuff.

Quest 64 sucked.

my absolute nigger

Mein Neger.

While I suppose they're somewhat known by anons, the series never got all that popular out here (or in Japan either, for that matter) due to being one of the more niche JRPG series out there (namely the mix of darker atmosphere and being increasingly bizarre as the series went on). And considering the series has been dead for almost a decade now, it's not like there's been much to keep them in the mind of people aside from a few people playing them here and there and posting about them. Hasn't even been any PSN rereleases either.

Really need to get around to Threads of Fate and TLS sometime. Shame Lost Odyssey got stuck on a system people don't exactly look for JRPGs on.

Underrated post. Didn't we have multiple Dragon Pass threads early after the first exodus?

Thread:
Nox - The MP was baller as fuck.
Outcast - Way, WAY before its time in many ways.

I remember trying to play this but even the first dungeon kicked my ass. Those raptor-like monsters were hard as fuck.

archive.is/Y6oav

epic rpg, redditbro xD

Albion, ha, I never got past the second level.

Pic related one of my all time favourite platformers, but I don't know of anyone else who owned it.

There was a game i remember playing as a kid on the Original Playstation, and i can't for the life of me remember it's name.
It was a first person shooter where you played a robotic rabbit and you shot people with fireworks.
I believe it had a sequel.

I always loved these two games and a lot of Midway's games in general like: Psi-ops, Area 51, Ready 2 Rumble and the Rampage series. I don't hear much discussion for these two, however, so I'm mentioning them.
It's a shame they made a ton of shitty MK games for the 6th console generation and got bought by warner bros who will never touch any of their old IPs besides MK because they're too busy pumping out lego and DC games.

Honorable mention to Tactics Ogre because it gets mentioned once in a while in JRPG threads

Never been to reddit. I really don't get why that site got so popular anyhow.

And the humor was more on the morbid end of things, outlandishness, and seeing just what an asshole Yuri can be when he wants to be, than outright toilet humor.

Jumping Flash, maybe?

...

No Mans Sky

Seriously give it a month and this game will be completely forgotten, I guaran-fucking-tee it.

Hype fags everytime.

user……………………………………………………

It deserves to be remembered, but for the wrong reasons.

As a shining example of how hype and advertising can sell an empty, do nothing piece of shit game. With people just eating it up like pigs to a trough.

The whole series is unfortunately forgotten. No one talks about anything besides The Cartel and how bad it is like most of them even played it

THIS IS THE GAME FROM MY MEMORIES THAT I COULD NEVER REMEMBER
Fuck

Thats the one, thanks bro!

Ok These two are my serious pics.

Doshin the Giant, loved it, it's super rare now but it's a great game.
Even better than that though, which I played with my little brother and my mother, was Pikmin. We loved it through and through, we must have collectively played hundreds of hours.
Man I loved the gamecube.

...

It had really clunky gameplay and was laggy as fuck when it came out, but it had a very cool concept, bretty gud storyline and is one of the few games that a remake could make better instead of worse.

Sorry about the tiny pic, only one I could find

Still wonder why NA never saw a release of Doshin.

Also, while on the topic of the Gamecube, both Lost Kingdoms games don't get remembered that much, even with From Soft's increasing popularity (though the same could probably be said of most of their non King's Field or Souls stuff anyhow, like Echo Night or Otogi).

Undead Knights

I just remembered…

FUCKING METAL FATIGUE, DUDES

Yet another game that was way before its time and had more/better features than the majority of the genre today.

Looks pretty fun,

I also loved the Rogue Squadron games 1 and 2.
2 even let you get out of the ship and play as one of the heros from star wars, the graphics were amazing for the time, even if the gameplay was clunky. It also had two player couch co-op, what's not to love?

One of the main reasons I never beat it as a kid was because the background music was just too god damn eery for me.

...

...

Blunderborn.

...

Deserves to be remembered for the con it is

That looks pretty fun, reminds me of Armored Core the earlier ones.

Now imagine that with a better HUD, better aiming, animations that are more than 3 sprites and even more mech suit customization.

mah nigga
first fps with regenerating health/shields

A problem in early game is, that you characters miss a lot. Your hit chance is determined by your combat skills (close combat and distanced combat).
Those raptor like enemies usually don't do too much damage, so you should be fine as long as you have enough potions. You can use as much potions as you want between turns.
Just make sure that you fins all the potions and weapons hidden in chests.
There also is a pistol on the space station which does a lot of damage and raises you distanced combat hit chance to almost 100%. You just have to figure out, how to get it past the security guards.

I literally can't believe someone else played Terracon. Can you tell me how it ends user? I never finished it because I was shit at taking care of my disks and scratched it to hell.

To be fair I was like 10 when I played it.

undertale

We need more WW1 games

mega.nz/#F!g8dzAA6S!09dsOJbXGoyTfU9g1NRNvw

A lot of good shit posted.

It should be available on any major torrent site user. Or are you asking for the widescreen patch? It should be on NOLF's page on WSGF or PCgamingwiki.

MediEvil
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (including Mysteries of the Sith)
Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth
Rune

So many african-american homies kickin' it here. Rune also let you sever an enemy's arm and beat them to death with it. You could also decapitate someone and throw their head at people.

wsgf.org/dr/operative-no-one-lives-forever/en

>HoMM2 gets overshadowed by 3 understandable

Have you tested this? does it work with a controller?

I think in this case the nostalgia is overpowering. Loved this as a kid, but when I recently saw a vid of this again, it looked pretty meh.

Gunslinger shows up in conversation now and then but I'd agree the first two are almost unmentioned outside of Holla Forums. Bound in Blood should have been a coop shooter though.

I think I last tested it on Windows 7, IIRC it installed and ran fine without modification but I don't think it had any official gamepad support. I primarily played the Xbox version myself, which had a co-op mode that's missing in the PC version. It might be easiest to emulate the PS2 version if you want controller support.

There's a widescreen fix for the PC version according to this:
pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Psi-Ops:_The_Mindgate_Conspiracy

pick one normalfag

underrated post

also extremely obscure game coming through :^)

Yeah probably better off just running a PS2 emu

KUNG FU CHAOS

id hit that

...

Dragon Pass should be remembered just because of how different it is from any game before or since.

I think a lot of 4x games could learn from it

...

I have a distinct memory from when I was 7 or 8, I got to rent Chameleon Twist 2 one night, and on that same night I got to eat my favorite frozen pizza for dinner.

Really comfy memory.

being young eating snacks and playing video games are the best memories

Was kinda asking for both. Never got to try it or its sequel.

Both the original and the sequel are pretty great. I prefer the second one over the first, but its still super fun once you get in the zone. I have .zips of both with the DXRebirth mods added in. I can probably put them up somewhere if someone wants them since Interplay didn't pay no one and the game currently isn't on sale anywhere.

Search the torrent sites. If it isn't on the big ones I can't help you since that's where I got them but maybe another user knows where to find it. Sadly the widescreen patch for NOLF 2 doesn't work with a cracked .exe but the first game is fine. Try them, both games are good with the first being an all time classic.

I'll look into it. I hope so. Really want to play this with all the good things I've heard about it.

Actually I'd say it was increasingly becoming light hearted instead. Except the doll house.

For those of you who are interested. A

Whoops let me try that again. For those of you who are interested. A while back I made a 6th Gen console hidden gems thread on Holla Forums where I autistically posted hidden gems from the Dreamcast. Ps2, OG Xbox, and Gamecube. Here's an archive of that thread

archive.is/Bgzse

RIP

Isn't that the game that pretty much killed Westwood?

CoJ1 and Bound in Blood were pretty good, but Gunslinger got the most attention.

This thread's for forgotten games, not horribly raped franchises.

Is that the game that feels like pokemon but with faeries? Is it good?

Oh god so that's what it was called I remember it all now

comfy as fuck games right here

It's pretty good but the combat is more like an FPS.

Here's a forgotten gem.
This had some golden moments that had me laughing so fucking hard as a kid, that I turned blue in the face from lack of oxygen.

...

It never got a proper sequel, instead it was shafted into mediocrity and forgotten.
It hurts every time I think about it.

hey i remember this one, they had claymated cutscenes like skullmonkeys right?

I liked the expansions even if their stories were shit. Really cool segments, like in the subway.

Sorry, meant that overall the series is darker than normal for JRPGs (it certainly did get lighter after Koudelka and Shadow Hearts), with the weirdness factor increasing every game. Could have worded it better.

isn't it strange how ninja theory was involved in this and went on to make dontes wild ride

no justice in this world

...

MOTHER
FUCKING
GOBLIN
COMMANDER
I love you user

...

yeah it was all claymation, and it was just fantastic
not sure if I even have the disc any more
I remember it being rather challenging years ago, maybe I can find it again and relive the magic

It killed them because no-one really wanted a C&C FPS, at least not right way. It would be like making a Cooking Mama ARPG - there's no audience for it to launch with, and EA takes its launch sales very seriously.

I dunno, from what I've seen this game has been getting pretty remembered lately.

I KNOW WE CAN MAKE IT TOGETHER

this, the sequel, and the sequel to that
however 2 isn't as good, but i still think 2 is worth a play for the story music visuals cutscenes and different feel to the game even if you just rush through it

Albion is fucking awesome.

Welp, guess I know what I'm playing this weekend.

I've still got the first and third game on my backlog (mainly due to finding the third game cheaply for $12 or so; fuck places wanting anywhere from $45-75 for it here), but I've been holding off until i find out hat to do about Episode II (and until I play Xenogears first). I mean, most of what I've heard about Episode II is how off it feels in comparison to the other two, and I'm not sure if I want to experience it for myself or not, if only to know what I'm talking about firsthand later down the line, and while I've heard Episode III has a synopsis or something, I'm not sure how indepth it goes or if I'm going to be left really confused if i do avoid Episode II.

Got smell soldiers on me hampack demo disc, it's fun

Reddit is literally an image catalog. When you click the thread it opens and you can write a comment, people up vote or downvote the comment based on relevance to the topic apparently but mostly it's just people liking and disliking.
I use it for niche games so niche to not have their own forum but need a community hub.
The big subreddits are cancer, but if you're looking for other Internet nerds that have opinions similar to here about something specific then obscure subreddits are basically the same as here.

While I'd certainly like to have more people to discuss some of the series I've been playing (hence why I've taken to trying to make some stuff to try to get more people here into them), but not enough to ever go there myself. I suppose some of them might be less cancerous than other ones, but still.

Got completely overshadowed by Tribes
shame too, the game was fun as hell, had a kickass soundtrack, and the universe was very fleshed out via the "newsflashes" and net reports you could read
game did get pretty dark later on

Quest 64 is seriously garbage if you go back and check it out now.

Nostalgia goggles are powerful, because for a solid ten years I thought that game was absolutely amazing.

I played Land of Illusion and Castle of Illusion. Weird that they just kept building on them, huh?

NetStorm.

That's because Giants was much more memorable. Aside from some wacky weapons armed & dangerous is just a shooter with a funny story, Giants has jetpacks, gyrocopter, basebuilding, sea reapers and kabuto (different factions with with different playstyles). Armed & Dangerous has what, the shark gun? I honestly can't remember much good about A&D gameplay, it's a blur of samey missions in brown and gray environments, as if you stretched the first mission of Giants before you get the jetpack into a whole game, just with a duller color pallet. It's an ok game but disappointing successor to Giants.

I really miss Dynamix.

Well land was the master system version that i never played, then I recall there was fantasia (which wasn't as good) castle of illusion (which got a decent remake, too) and mickey mania (which I thought was the pinnacle). Mega drive had some really good platforming.

True enough. I grew up with A&D on PC but only tried A&D when I was like 14. Damn shame Planet Moon died and the spiritual remake of Giants (First Wonder?) died as well.

I think they're still doing something with First Wonder? Maybe? Haven't looked into it in a while. And yeah it's a shame that one kickstarter that looked somewhat good was completely ignored.

...

I read something about people getting refunds, it -sounded- like they were dying, but then an user said that they were just downscaling. :/

Wait, no, it's dead.

Oh God no. They were already doing mobile games. Theyre going to keep doing mobile games.

Rocket had tons of interesting physics based puzzles in 3D space and it did so half a decade before Half Life 2 was even a thing.

My nigger right here.

In the 10 years I've been on Holla Forums I've never once seen a thread or post about this game that wasn't made by me.

I'd swear I've heard before on the rare occasion the game's been brought up that the PS1 original was better, or something like that. I don't think any but the PSP one were brought west unfortunately, but maybe I'm not remembering right. You're correct though, I never see it (or it's series) get brought up much.

How is it anyhow?

RIP Irem.

I'm plying this game for the first time. Its pretty fun.

*playing

DUDE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GAME FOR AGES
HOLY FUCK NIGGER

Barely anyone plays it on fightcade or talks about it even though the mechanics are fun/not used often and the spritework was SF3 tier before SF3 released.

Better buy Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 4 Plus: Summer Memories when it comes out if you ever want to see Steambot Chronicles 2 come back from the grave.

don't play episode II until you've played episode I
after playing both you can play episode III

I never really touched the TCG. The game itself was clearly rushed out the door, probably because the monster collectan game bubble was about to pop (Pokemon was losing its status as a pop culture phenomenon at the time), which explains the game's bugginess.

As for the TCG, given that CCGs are in a bubble now, a digital-only thing could work. Had the franchise still been in competent hands.

...

It's a pity that there weren't more games with a runic magic system on the DS. I think I remember only Lost Magic and one other I can't recall the name of.

Forgotten? I still play it on my PC

Disciples 2

?
Brain damage, what a terrible thing

That's probably one of the best things it had going for it. The entire game revolved around platforming and Rocket felt very weighty and heavy, often relying on his beam to get to shit.

The biggest problem with the game is the camera though. If they fixed that and then got the draw distance up for objects it would be just about perfect.

thoughts?

I fucking LOVED that one. It's the only reason I got suckered into backing Kaiju Combat. I was told it was going to be JUST LIKE WAR OF THE MONSTERS

I wish we would get an HD release of the games

Forgotten game from a mostly forgotten console

every thread till doshin :^(

SMALL FUCKING SOLDIERS
I gotta watch it again

pls tell me more user!

So you could say Lack of Love lacked some love.

call it by it's real name user

This was the shit. I got it before a memory card, along with Shrek's Treasure hunt so the first two levels are burned into my memory. There was a Buzz Lightyear of Star command game that was pretty good too. Shrek's Treasure Hunt needs to be forgotten

I think I heard a while back someone on the team was trying to convince Namco to do so (given Namco holds the rights), but their petition didn't get enough interest. Still, I have to wonder, are publishers allowed to do whatever with existing games they hold the rights to, or would Namco have to come to some agreement with Nintendo in regards to an HD collection of the Xenosaga games, given that Monolith Soft was the developer and are now part of Nintendo.

I think the issues for .hack these days are the pricing of each subseries out here meaning the average person (IE: the one that only buys games and either doesn't know about or is against piracy and emulation; not a big issue amongst anons, I imagine, but still) can't justify dropping the money to play them, and Namco apparently not being all that keen to acknowledge its existence these days (though they still have to occasionally since there's characters from them in the PxZ games). Tales for example is pretty keen of having shoutouts and cameos to other Namco IPs (like Klonoa, Xenosaga, Legend of Valkyrie, etc), but the ones that have a reference to the .hack games are either ones that were left overseas anyhow (such as NDX having an entire costume and mystic arte based on Azure Kite for Dio), or was DLC that never made it west either (Asbel has a Haseo outfit available to the Japanese release of Tales of Graces f). Pair of reasonably priced HD Collections never, PSN rereleases never.

one of the first PC games I played

Lode Runner 2 was also a great game.

It was actually pretty ahead of it's time, one of the few Terminator games that doesn't suck.

This was Todd Howard's first game on Bethesda

I approve.

...

Westwood survived this one, what killed them was the original C&C 3 being cancelled in favour of an fucking MMO because that was the height of WoW hysteria which was also cancelled when it became clear it it won't work, than some beancounter came saw that westwood haven't produced a game in years and axed it.

I had enemy nations but my computer could hardly run it.

It took almost an hour to load up the game.

maxresdefault happens to be one of my favorite games

I remember shooting the moon in this game and it would say ow.

For some reason my pc back then were seriously under spec, i don't know how but i still manage to finish this game with something like 10 fps. Fuck you pentium.

I haven't read the whole thread, but I just wanted to congratulate you on your great taste. For Hamtaro, I mean. One of the best GBC games. Ham Ham Hearbreak is good, too, but I still prefer Ham Hams Unite.

still waiting on a PC port with netplay, sega

...

By the devs. I couldn't play disciples 3 for more than half an hour, it was so fucking bad.

None of these count. You remember them so they're not forgotten.

Glad you have some decent taste in hamster games, my hammo

This was like $5 the other day. Was it even a remaster?

The stalin subway was a good shooter with a catchy soundtrack.

Mafia 1 is way better the the sequel. Much better story and actually has you traversing through most of the city by the end of the game.

Toca 3 racing is a racing sim that has many vehicles to drive. Race cars, f1, tractor trailer's, buggy's, ect. you can also tune your vehicle in many ways.

El Matador: It was Max Payne in South America before Max Payne 3. It runs on the Max Payne 2 engine and it has bullet time. It's a fun TPS game with a simple story.

Probably because the AI in Project Eden could kill themselves. There were area's with endless pits and dangerous terrain to navigate.

Hidden and dangerous 2 was a good tactical game. Tough as hell and unforgiving.

Some of the levels in giants allowed you to take shortcuts that you were not meant to take. The one early level, I just ran along the outside of the island and climbed over the mountains to the exit. Skipping a huge area.

NOLF 1 was a great shooter and had some decent stealth. The ps2 version had some good music, but broke the levels up top be smaller and didn't let you chose your weapons which prevented you from getting all the intel.

Tried to play it again, but for some reason, the Siberia base levels would visual glitch up and guards would be psychic.

The first game is my favorite. Visualy the best and had a great story. Best part was reading the bible while blasting thugs with a revolver.

Also, don't play Stalin subway on hard unless you really want a challenge. You will die a lot on hard. Normal provides a good balance of difficulty without having to be paranoid and hiding.

I've tried on numerous occasions to get my copy of Mafia 1 working so I can play it, but the installation never completes. Shame because it's a game I've been wanting to play for years now.

My niggler

I backed descent underground out of sheer nostalgia induced stupidity overcoming my seething disdain for all multiplayer-only shooters.

Never heard of overload until now, mite b cool.
