Legends of Equestria - Forum

I don't know what to start with at the moment so I'll just let you do it.

Army Men: Sarge's war.
I'm not sure if this game was underrated but it by far forgotten.

Castle of the winds  ovO

Moon Crystal
I'm not sure how obscure or forgotten this game is but it was a fun game on the famicom.

(I don't think it was ever released outside Japan, other then translation hacks.)

Iji. It's a freeware metroidvania that's pretty great all-around. It's short - takes under 3 hours to beat - but has a ton of hidden secrets and other replay value.

Digimon World 2 and 3, they were fun pokemon like games

So many.
Some insanely old ones from when I was lil'
Freddi Fish, Putt Putt, and Spy Fox

Then when I grew up a wee bit
Black & White, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, Mall Tycoon

Then a little later
Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, Civ City Rome, Sim City 2000

Then later
Starcraft 1, Warcraft 3, Sims 1, Call of Duty: Finest Hour

And then I started playing the more popular games.

Then theres a couple I'm not sure: Shadow the Hedgehog, Pikmin, and Flight Simulator X.

This game was awesome back on the PS1! I still have my copy in my CD rack right here, and it was also Phil Hartman's last voice acting project before his death. :(



Then this game, awesome multiplayer and awesome singleplayer. I have fond memories playing this game with my dad, I never beat it though.

because people prefer talking about Grand Theft Auto instead...        :/

I'd actually like to see a remake of this game.

Cruis'n World (N64)
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (PC)
Top Gear Rally 1 & 2 & Top Gear Overdrive (N64)
Re-Volt (N64/PS1/PC/DC/Xbox LIVE as a never released beta)
James Pond 2 Robocod (SNES/AMIGA)

And most of the games mentioned in previous posts.

So many grunts so little time....

Also timesplitters is the greatest FPS to have ever existed.  :3

I'm not sure how underrated this one is either but it was one I had fun playing even though I never got around to beating it I can't remember why but I eventually got bored of it.

I feel bad for seeing that every game posted here has been played by me, a lot of them I consider the best classics and games of their genres. Now I feel I play too much videogames.  :c

Too add something to the thread, these little two gems which the world seems to have forever forgotten:
Ground Control 1


Such awesomeness for strategy gameplay... Friendly fire, improve aiming and defense by taking ground advantage, different defense values for vehicles depending from where the attack comes from, different kind of damage which could be lethal for some units, but innefective for others,... Strategical awesomeness, and not the grinding and brainless use of strategy on Starcraft or Age of Empires.


Ground Control 2

As its predecessor, wonderful graphics and an amazing ost. It had some flaws Ground Control 1 never had, but it added other interesting things as getting infrantry inside buildings to make ambushes from there (yeah, you could even see the sniper hiding behind the window), moving shield generators and turrets who could be controlled if you get a unit there.

And, of course, both of those games had such good graphics that they could be easily one of the best fps in their age. This is not suprising until you realise that there are hundreds of those units moving in the battlefield and that is not a fps game, it is a strategy game.




Sacrifice


A strategy game... which is like a third person action game! Yes, you are a mage who command his units while figth and cast spells on the battlefield. And even, when casting, you can see him saying the magical words for every spell. It was an original game in every aspect, even the units weren't normal.



MDK

Action, action, bullets, action, people getting killed, action, black humor, action, amazing graphics, action... Did I say action?

Being a big fan of war games and such, I think these two games are underrated:

Pokemon is the most underrated game known to mankind.I know everyone mostly loves it , but our love is not enough to measure its greatness  >:O.

Savage was an awesome game and I miss it  DD:

Humans vs beasts (savages)


the game was all online and had the humans (starting with bows and then later guns) fighting against the savages who used nature and magic. One person on each team was elected to be the leaders; who would control resources mined by players, build a base, research tech, and send out attack orders. The game went on until one side destroyed the keep, or den of the opposing side.

I believe this game is seen as underrated is because it was released around the same time as Chrono Cross. Seeing as how both games were made by Squaresoft, people gravitated to Chrono Cross because it was advertised more, than Threads of Fate; Chrono Cross being a sequel to the popular game Chrono Trigger.

Luckily, when I was younger, I didn't know  thing about advertising and I picked this game up. It's one of my favorite games on the PS1.  :3

No :l Pokemon is OVERrated. When they do a remake of a game they did the previous year and people that bought the first one still buy it.
BUT! There is a few games on OC of Pokemon that are underrated like pokemon Indigo and Pokemon trading card game online. That only a few people play even tough they're both awesome.

Hotwheels Crash!

Star Wars Episode 1: Racer was my first video game I ever played. Still suck at it, of course.  :l

And, obligatory, is Earthbound. Definitely not underrated, but of all of my friends I have ever asked exactly one had heard of it before I mentioned it.

Yes, I wouldn't say Earthboud, or any of the Mother games, are underrated, because they have a huge cult following. But, I would most certainly call them under-appreciated from those who don't know about the games.

Why do I never shut up about Mother games...?

My underated games.

I used to have this game, I liked it a lot but after awhile dungeon crawling got boring and I hated the freaking poison status effect.  :c

I can't remember but couldn't you also die of thirst? I'm not sure, one of these days I need to get the game again though.

I suddenly remembered this game.
(http://www.wallpaperpimper.com/wallpaper/Games/Okage_Shadow_King/Okage-Shadow-King-1-1024x768.jpg)

It was a long time ago, but I remember it being clever in its dialogue and quite funny.

I still play that. O:

I rented it once ages ago, so I only remember bits and pieces from what I played.
Sadly, I can't recall ever seeing another copy of the game outside that one Blockbuster.  :c

(http://www.konsolinet.fi/tuotekuvat/overboard_psone.jpg)
This game was hard and had great music  :3
[/youtube]

I forget what it's called, but I think 64 Nights, or something like that, It was for the PS1 and was extremely hard, and Spyro the Dragon for the PS1.

I've never met anyone else who's ever heard of - never mind played - this:


I thought this series was under-appreciated:


This was great fun, but again, no-one I've ever met had heard of it:


And lastly, this game was always good if I had friends over:


EDIT: Fixed the image in the second spoiler

I DO have a copy of Azure Dreams and, actually, at least here in Spain, was a very famous game.

I remember seeing Azure Dreams in the store, maybe around the same time, shorty after Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy Tactics?  If its the game I THINK it is, I think you have to start over every time to exit and re-enter the tower?

I loved LOVED Tecmo's Deception for the PS1 (Anyone ever heard of that, played it?!?)  It was awesome, and I enjoyed TrapT (the forth? Deception game) for the PS2, never played the second one.

Rule of Rose for the PS2 was another obscure game I enjoyed.

There was a Monster Rancher Card Game for the PS1 that I rented and spent a week playing the hell out of until I almost burned up the PS

My wife and I played Pokemon Snap when that came out, (I'm putting that as "forgotten") I think a new Pokemon Snap would be awesome now for the WiiU.

Darkstarlkers and Bloody Roar are two underrated fighting games that I like as well.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Digimonworld3boxart.jpg)
It took them 2 other games to get it right  :D

Not under-rated, from what I can tell, but certainly forgotten:
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter.  Absolute classic, made me fall in love with the A-Wing.  Still the best Star Wars dogfighting game out there, I think.
Also, LEGO Island.  I can remember shoving countless pizzas into the Brickster's craw in an effort to save the island, while luring the cops to his trail with donuts.
Finally, I cant forget "Chutes and Buckets", which was a really, really old game.  You basically had a little bucket with which you caught math equations, and hopefully you had the right number when the equation landed, or your bucket filled up.  If it was completely full, the equation would spill out and you lost.  Absolutely ancient, but I remember thinking that the orange equations floating down my monochromatic screen were almost magical.

incredible toon machine?

That is exactly the game you're thinking of.

They fit an entire Final Fantasy game into a gameboy cartridge  :3

Technically, the Legend games aren't actually Final Fantasy; they just slapped the FF name onto it when localizing it for non-Japan countries to improve marketing.  X3 Still a cool game though, or so I hear.

Cool fact= the final fantasy serie was suposed to be the last game Nintendo was going to do because they where running out of ideas. So they called it Final since it was going to be the last game made by Nintendo and fantasy because they wanted to make there last game huge and awesome as if it was a fantasy you where in. ((Which they did))
I saw it in a "did you know" video.

Final Fantasy was made by Square, who was going out of business, Final Fantasy was supposedly going to be their last game.

Quote from: Awesome narrator from 1998It is said that history becomes legend, as its events recede into the mists of time, and that memories become dimmer in the slumber of peace. Thus the noble peoples of Urak languished in a thousand years of peaceful splendor, growing forgetful of the dark time their land once knew, heedless, of the ancient enemy who yet labored in silence. And so Golgoth, the terrible god of death, beheld that the world was ripe for an era of terror, and blood. He summoned Balkoth, the most evil of his sorcerers, and bestowed upon him a mighty artifact of power, in that the necromancer might better serve his master, in heralding the coming days of darkness. The wings of Balkoth's wretched steed beat the air like thunder, the land shook beneath the rumor of his mustering host, the air was filled with cries of his victims. Who can say what new perils may yet befall, as they struggle to defeat the ancient evil, to reunite the land, and to become...

Lords of Magic

Loved the music in that game and it would've defiantly been a great opposition to mario if the creators had done more to show Croc off to the public.

Yeah all they would need to do is fix the odd controls and work a little more on it. But it's long lost by now.

Believe or not, this game was actually pretty amazing. This game definitely needs more attention.

Illusion of Gaia. Didn't realize how little-known it was until years after I played it. Fantastic action-RPG-type thing for SNES.

*sigh* the SNES was befor my time :c the first game add i remember was i think for the PS2... or was it the DS light? no i think the PS2 was before... idk.... as :I the DS light was the first thing for games i had (other then a old computer from 2003 or so) them i got a wii
but i have always wanted to play a SNES or a NES... one day :c

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Genesis, It may have been the first sonic game with Tails in it, but not many people know of it.

 Cave story,most definitely cave story...Well it USED to be unknown :c
until nintendo brought it to wii and dsi, and then to the 3ds but it is still my favorite by a landmark with it's multiple endings and side scrolling shooting awesomeness.
