Great videogames you're pretty sure no one's ever heard of

I forgot about Power Stones...fun game.

Redneck Rampage - PC

Tom Clancy's SSN - PC, submarine simulator. Had a great story that was told via "news broadcasts" with live action actors...and some recognizable ones too.

 

I'm amazed two other people on this board have played it. Time to find an emulator.

 

For all streets of rage fans here, there's a new game in the series, called streets of rage remake that came out for computer, and its totally badass. It combines parts of all three games and adds new levels, with a lot of other new additions. And best of all its free.

NO FREAKIN WAY!!! I'm downloading this as soon as I get home. You sir, have made my day.

 

Does anyone here play Eve Online? I've been playing this on and off and it grew on me. They just did a graphic update and it looks great.

That pisses me off. I thought I owned all the Final Fantasy games. Now my collection will never be complete due to this. Never knew there were unofficial FF games.

 

I loved this game, but preferred "Flashback: The Quest for Identity" on SEGA Genesis. They were very similar.

 

Thinking this was probably somewhat well-known as well, but here is one game I forgot to mention earlier:

E.V.O. Search for Eden

Forgot one for the NES - Conquest of the Crystal Palace.

Ahh, the days of going to the video store with my mom on a Friday night, renting an NES game, and getting a Whataburger...

 

I think I'm thinking of the same game here, and I remember being frustrated with the game when I couldn't get the plane out of the hangar.

 

I'll go old school on you. How about "Ali Baba?" I remember loving this game back in 1985. Even went back and played it again a few years ago.

 

I started playing it a couple months ago with some friends. It was a gorgeous game BEFORE the updated graphics. The last MMO I seriously played was City of Heroes/Villains, so I'm still going through culture shock. (Super customizable superheroes to spaceships.) Pretty awesome game though.

 

Don't know if others would consider it 'unknown', but Zone of the Enders 2 on the PS2 was freakin' amazing. Awesome action game, looked great; just very original.

You're piloting big mech-type weapons, and it had a cool onboard 'computer' that would give you advice. You could even treat it badly and it would be less helpful.

Futuristic, great weapons and big flyin robots. What else could you ask for?

 

Cool are you in a Corp?

Proto Culture Lyrics by Del The Funky Homosapien
Chorus: Let me tell you about the Proto Culture
If you don't know the culture, here's the whole structure
We've had enough of the lackluster-trust us
We get the kind of games you can't rent at Blockbuster
KU: Game related, raise it bit by bit
Yo D, link up the cable we'll go hit for hit
Phantasma plasma particle beam means I have ya
on the run-the rendered effects hot like magnas

Del: I play games by Capcom with a power glove strapped on O
n any platform, I don't spend my dough on Phat Farm
Video games, I got many to play
Before my life expires; fufill my desires

KU: Mastering your hardest boss
Shattering all stars across
Ain't hard to cross the finish line
Floatin' on Daytona
Wex, Gex or Kloana, we get ‘em all at cost
RPG, Platform we transform like Macross

Del: Rival schools, Batsu
Purchase you ought to
It came with one free CD, it's like I bought two
I hope they make part II for Dreamcast
‘Cause games I've seen in mags, you won't believe they have!

KU: Getting callouses turning over asteroids
Graviton bombs destroyed
Getting moms annoyed
Now I'm hacking Nightmare Creatures
Their features splattered across the screen
It gets more clean each year

Del: I remember my homie Ed Coats had the most
A Colecovision-every week I'd visit
Playing Donkey Kong Jr., Venture, Rock and Rope
Games I thought was dope
While my moms was watching soaps

KU: I'm on the next level
I got a double barrel shotgun in the Doomworld
Waiting on the next devil
Armor's low-check the arsenal
Rupture the main conductor playin Disruptor

Del: I remember Ninja Gaiden
Finished finally
With Ramone wouldn't answer the phone
This was before getting blown
I own the first Nintendo Power
With the maps of Zelda Help me conquer in an hour

Chorus: Let me tell you about the Proto Culture
If you don't know the culture, here's the whole structure
We've had enough of the lackluster-trust us
We get the kind of games you can't rent at Blockbuster
(2X)

Del: Hey KU you know my SEGA collection is massive
Got all the past hits and classics
Herzog Zwei now Panzer Zwei
Originality that made me a fan today

KU: It's Pandemonium-it's like Toys R Us
Flippin the next Saturn game brings out the boys in us
It's poisonous
Taking out the boys in blue in Grand Theft Auto,
Snatch a Rolls Royce to use

Del: Yeah, I'll admit Playstation improved
Come visit Feudal Japan with me and Tenchu
Bushido Blade 2 with sword play so accurate
Mega Man Legends but I had to buy a map for it.

KU: I fence Hyo to get a Neo-Geo
For Samurai 64 in full rendered splendor
Rival counter and enter my sword in his innards
My joint was being Leonardo wuppin' on Splinter

Del: I gotta get Xenogears-that's the type of game that relieves my fears
Get it from overseas to here
I gotta get Psychic Force
Authentic arcade that I can endorse
They got me liking imports

KU: I'll need to be at the next E3,
What's the next CD I need to see
Me and D signing checks
Let's float overseas, mingle with game companies
Giving tips to Capcom and Sega-you can't front on these

Del: To anyone who knew me better
Know I chose Saturn first Cause it's 2-D heaven
Bernie Stolar dropped the ball with the RAM cartridge
X-men Vs. Streetfighter could've expanded the market

KU: Marvel Vs. Capcom-beyond fathom
Tell the truth, Playstation ain't ready to have ‘em
Come on I'll bring the onslaught
Alpha and Omega
Khaos Unique brought to you by SEGA.

Chorus: Let me tell you about the Proto culture
If you don't know the culture, here's the whole structure
We've had enough of the lackluster-trust us
We get the kind of games you can't rent at Blockbuster
(2X)

 

Here's one: Phantom Dust for the original XBox. Fairly good Japanese-style RPG...I think it was only released in Japan. I may be wrong about that, though, but I never met anyone who had played it.

Yep, the corp with my friends, Snow Raven Explorer corp. My avatar is Su Wu. Kick me an email in-game.
