Obscure/underrated or forgotten games you've played.

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.

It took them 2 other games to get it right 

[Chautauquan]

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.

That is exactly the game you're thinking of.


I know what I'm playing once I finish Bastion!

(Vagrant Story. I'll be playing Vagrant Story once I've finished Bastion. Another oft-forgotten gem.)

They fit an entire Final Fantasy game into a gameboy cartridge

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.  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.

It 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...

If you know this game, I love you. If not, it was a very good, but very underrated, and difficult game. I still haven't beat it.

[Rissian]

I'm not sure if this is obscure or underrated but this is one game I loved to play when I was younger as a kid.


Now when I last played it though I wonder how I even beat the first stage with how odd the controls are.

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.

[Rissian]

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.

[Princess_Luna]
