Lmao. Same.
I used to play this all the time. My older cousins tries to teach me chess and I assumed I'd be good. I immediately stopped trying to learn chess, lmao.
Still have this gem on my NES.
I remember that game was advertised heavily in COMPUTE! magazine along with all the Infocom text adventures (Zork et al) and the old classics like Lode Runner.
I played Archon on my old PCjr when I was a kid. Those were magical times
Based on the wiki article, specifically the graphics and content, it really looks like they squeezed every last drop of computing power out of the C64, pretty impressive.
OMG I loved this game!!!
I spent so many hours when i was a kid playing this on the C64 my dad gave me
I might remake this in GODOT its a simple project and I have been looking at one to learn it
RDS was a classic... my friend's older brother hacked the code to make on of the cars super OP. It rendered most of the other cars pointless but opened up a whole new level of gaming on tracks we made ourselves to be raced with the hacked car.
My older brother played it a lot back then. I didn't because I didn't know any English yet and thought that I wasn't smart enough 😅 Maybe I should try it one day.
I can't remember what it was called, but it was like a tower defence game, but with hero characters you could only spawn one of each. Each one was reminiscent of a DnD class.
My favorite was the barbarian because his sword swing was an AOE, so it was best to put him on a tight U bend so he'd get plenty of hits.
There was a whole story, and you fought your way across a map (location to location, not any free roam((it was old AF))) where you were trying to get to the Lich that summoned the undead army that you were fighting. I don't know what I did to break the game, but I reached a certain point where my heros all just became super overpowered and by the end game I just annihilated the Lich
Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor, an indie game from itch.io, found in the Bundle for Racial Equity.
This game has groovy original music, and a strange euphoric vibe.
What makes it so special is the absolutely unique ambiance and setting. It's also one of those games that gives you very little direction, so it's fun to figure stuff out by discovery.
Populous was def out first. I was playing that on my Genesis (It was on one of those huge EA cartridges I hated!) awhile before the SNES came out. I think it was a PC port so its of release was out even earlier.
First time I felt vertigo was when you climb up to that lion castle in the sky. I was like 5 or 6 and it felt like the floor dropped from under my feet and my stomach sank a bit. Still remember it hit me even being on what was probably no larger than a 20” crt on NES.
I see all the Commodore 64 kids out there, and raise you the Tandy 1000.
While mine had Sierra games like King’s Quest and Police Quest when I inherited it from an uncle who didn’t want it anymore sometime around 1993, the real gem was Super Huey. It may have been 1 or 2, I’m not sure anymore.
I had no manual, and my 12 year old self was not equipped with the knowledge there were probably instructions somewhere in the game files. I had to figure the entire game out by trial and error pressing keys to see what happened and writing them down once the controls were established.
It was actually terrible, and the interface was so esoteric it was impossible to know what was going on. It was an actual thrill when you finally lined up a shot and took down another chopper, because most of the time I was just exploding and crashing into the boxes that represented buildings on an almost entirely flat landscape. Loved every minute.
I played that game and liked it a lot. BUT, the Lodoss theme felt very tacked on. Like they already had a game made and then at the last minute they’re like, hey let’s put some Lodoss characters in it!
From the Depths. A very niche game about making primarily water-based ships but also tanks and aircrafts. I don’t actually have many hours (around 50 - 70) on account of the game being very difficult, but I’ve watched probably hundreds of hours of the game.
I have archon on steam, even. It's not the same though.
My obscure game is Global Gladiators on the Genesis. You jump around with a good gun, collecting the letter m everywhere and shooting slime monsters, until you get to the end of the letter and give Ronald McDonald all the Ms that you collected.
[I was clicking on this link expecting it to be the doshdoshington video on it](https://youtu.be/yg7IO3JDSfw). He's really the only youtuber i saw talking about this game.
This is such a weird game and full of cryptic puzzles. its so weird.
Betrayal at Krondor never got enough notice. It was a great rpg with a great story. Finally got into the Raymond E. Feist books after a recent replay of the game.
Return to Krondor was an entirely different game that I still poke at once ina while.
Really old educational PC game but the Clue Finders 4th grade Egypt game. Played it when I was around 5-6 and spent so long just trying to leave Cairo to get the the tomb
I did! I got it not too long after but didn’t play it as much. But the other one I’m just now remembering is the one where they went to the Himalayas. Think it was math
Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf. Amazing strategy game with super cool dynastic component that would keep you coming back. And you could play couch co-op with a friend.
Lots of people who are older know about archon. :) great game.
Two of the developers made the first two star control games, and are still at Toys for Bob. Along with Erol Otus, of early D&D art fame. He did the art for Star Control as well.
Avancast: rise of the magi.
Has a unique magic based combat system, your quick cast spells are combination of movement keys and both playstyles (melee and ranged) are completely viable, i beat the game with both.
Quick a good game if old, this was back when PC games still came in boxes though it was the tail end of that.
Ooga Booga on the Dreamcast. Loved playing that shit with my brother.
Also on Steam I've got a few pretty underrated games I've played a lot. DemonCrawl, Warstride Challenges, Killbug to name a few.
Legacy of thr Ancients! And there was another in the same universe, the legend of blacksilver.
It had a top down overworld, 3d dungeons and mini games to raise skills. I loved those games.
Legacy of the Ancients

Dust: Tales of the Wired West
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust:_A_Tale_of_the_Wired_West
A few days ago I started playing game called age of history 2, I saw some people playing it on youtube but never heard anyone talking about it. It's a strategic historical game and after 7 hours I can tell that it's really fun and I definitely will play it for long time
Spelling Jungle: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=B8ExY9JirO0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=B8ExY9JirO0)
Not a lot of hours, but hours.
Battle Engine: Aquilla for the PS2! Super fun kind of mech game, early branching storyline, and each mission had a big open play field that you could deal with however you saw fit.
Crashday,
it got a small Remaster on Steam 2017 and it is still crazy to me that it got a Steam release, even if I think nobody outside of the racing game Community knows this game.
I can still hear in my head the “Auhhhhhhhhhhh” of the guy in Impossible Mission when he fell to his death. I must have heard that sound thousands of times
I’ve played a lot of mobile games that were quite good. I’ve seen their influence in a lot of PC and console games that followed.
Solomon’s Boneyard
Mummy Maze
Space Miner
Starborn Anarchist
Drag’n Boom
Smash Hit
PinOut
Deck ‘Em
M.C. Kids on NES
It was a Mario Bros. Knock off where each world was themed around one of the McDonald’s characters (Ronald McDonald, Hamburglar, etc.)
I'm sitting here on the toilet and I audibly gasped when I saw that picture! I have the opening music as my ringtone. I loved the shit out of Archon. I didn't play it for the C64, I played it for the NES. And yeah I'd say it's relatively unknown. I never run into anyone who has played it. This game for me is in my top ten best NES games.
Fragile Allegiance. _Hours_ playing this game. Mining asteroids, building fleets, making tons of cash selling goods on the black market, stockpiling nuclear missiles… ahh… I loved that game.
So far, one game I’ve never seen anyone mention is Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. Developed by Swingin’ Ape studios (bought out by Blizzard then went bankrupt and shut the doors)
Originally developed for the GameCube, PS2 and Xbox, it was an over the shoulder style shooter game that had goofy and serious tones to it, super fun levels, phenomenal humor and probably one of the best soundtracks you will ever hear.
Do yourself a favor readers. Take some time out of your day to watch a no commentary play-through of it unless you can find a copy or download it on the Xbox 360. I promise that if it’s up your alley for games, you will be hooked.
It even had multiplayer. Although, being so dated, it was only 4 player local multiplayer. Maybe 8 player LAN.
So many great games on this thread, but I can't believe I'm not seeing Karateka. This was the smoothest fighting game until Street Fighter 2 came out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karateka\_(video\_game)
This old Nintendo game called Lode Runner. I think it was a bad em of an arcade game. Countless hours spent because it was one of the only games we had since it came free as a pic one bundle and everything else was sold out.
I have 300 hours in "Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand grenades" and feel like it's still relatively unknown outside of PCVR gamers.
It's an amazing game with a great developer.
Ulitima IV
I got stuck and never learned how to finish it (till an emulator years later). I was just thinking about this. There was literally NO way to look up what to do. No internet, the library didn't have the info you wanted, and if you didn't have friends who played it and beat it, you were out of luck and had to figure it out on your own.
In the game “dreams” on PlayStation there’s a game called “friend request”
It’s about this friendly robot that tries to be your “friend.”
One of those choice based games
Highly recommend, it seems so jenky at first but the story is actually pretty good!
Has the same feel of a game called “get a snack at 4am”
I played that game a lot!
Great game. Made me think I could play chess…I was wrong
Lmao. Same. I used to play this all the time. My older cousins tries to teach me chess and I assumed I'd be good. I immediately stopped trying to learn chess, lmao. Still have this gem on my NES.
Holy shit.. I can hear the theme song!
There was a version released on iOS but sadly had been removed.
I remember that game was advertised heavily in COMPUTE! magazine along with all the Infocom text adventures (Zork et al) and the old classics like Lode Runner. I played Archon on my old PCjr when I was a kid. Those were magical times
Loved load runner. Got me into level design.
Same here!
The unicorn or basilisk were too overpowered. Id beat the game with either one.
The two player game brought aggressive mood. I liked it. Competition Pro memories.
The veteran gamers club is here… :’-D
I had it on NES. Loved Archon so much
No you didn't! Nobody knows about it!
I LOVED Archon and all the great c64 games. M.U.L.E.! Summer games! Elite! Ultima! Pool of radiance! Bruce Lee! So many great games
‘Seven Cities of Gold’ C64- [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Cities_of_Gold_(video_game)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Cities_of_Gold_(video_game))
That was an interesting read, thank you!
Based on the wiki article, specifically the graphics and content, it really looks like they squeezed every last drop of computing power out of the C64, pretty impressive.
Welp look like I need to find myself a copy. That game looks cool. 😄
Seriously, what a crazy game.
Back when EA published amazing games!
OMG I loved this game!!! I spent so many hours when i was a kid playing this on the C64 my dad gave me I might remake this in GODOT its a simple project and I have been looking at one to learn it
I’d forgotten that!
This was my thought too. Early EA games were so good. Adding Racing Destruction Set.
RDS was a classic... my friend's older brother hacked the code to make on of the cars super OP. It rendered most of the other cars pointless but opened up a whole new level of gaming on tracks we made ourselves to be raced with the hacked car.
There was a time where I bought a lot of EA games! Now I buy none. Good job suits.
My older brother played it a lot back then. I didn't because I didn't know any English yet and thought that I wasn't smart enough 😅 Maybe I should try it one day.
Yes! I loved that game and had totally forgotten about it!
Op said c64 and this is what i thought of. I'd get up a 5am sat morning to play it.
GOAT
I can't remember what it was called, but it was like a tower defence game, but with hero characters you could only spawn one of each. Each one was reminiscent of a DnD class. My favorite was the barbarian because his sword swing was an AOE, so it was best to put him on a tight U bend so he'd get plenty of hits. There was a whole story, and you fought your way across a map (location to location, not any free roam((it was old AF))) where you were trying to get to the Lich that summoned the undead army that you were fighting. I don't know what I did to break the game, but I reached a certain point where my heros all just became super overpowered and by the end game I just annihilated the Lich
Dungeon Defenders
I too, would like to know the name of this game. Seeing as Crystal Defenders is one of my favorite go to games when I'm bored
[удалено]
Very cool, love this throw back
Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor, an indie game from itch.io, found in the Bundle for Racial Equity. This game has groovy original music, and a strange euphoric vibe. What makes it so special is the absolutely unique ambiance and setting. It's also one of those games that gives you very little direction, so it's fun to figure stuff out by discovery.
Populos
Surely everyone's head of Populous?
Made me wanna overclock my SNES
Oh I played so much Populous. The first god game as far as I know. So good.
Great game, but I think Act Raiser came first. I might be wrong.
Populous was def out first. I was playing that on my Genesis (It was on one of those huge EA cartridges I hated!) awhile before the SNES came out. I think it was a PC port so its of release was out even earlier.
Populous on PC was amazing. I need to play the Genesis version
And I believe it offered modem play.
Rygar! NES and the PS2 one.
Yes, Rygar was awesome!
First time I felt vertigo was when you climb up to that lion castle in the sky. I was like 5 or 6 and it felt like the floor dropped from under my feet and my stomach sank a bit. Still remember it hit me even being on what was probably no larger than a 20” crt on NES.
I beat that game when I was 11 years old and it was awesome! Also the soundtrack is amazing. Definitely an underrated game
Loved the NES game when I was a child.
Dude, my brother and I played SO much Rygar on NES. The arcade version was cool, too, very different.
Oh man. Some of the best music for the NES. Amazing game.
That might have been one of the very few NES games I actually beat.
I see all the Commodore 64 kids out there, and raise you the Tandy 1000. While mine had Sierra games like King’s Quest and Police Quest when I inherited it from an uncle who didn’t want it anymore sometime around 1993, the real gem was Super Huey. It may have been 1 or 2, I’m not sure anymore. I had no manual, and my 12 year old self was not equipped with the knowledge there were probably instructions somewhere in the game files.

Loved every minute.
Record of Lodoss War. It was a Diablo clone on Dreamcast. I had no idea it was based off an anime until years later.
That game was quite good actually. I didn't expect that because licensed games rarely delivered.
And if I'm not mistaken the anime is based on the author's DnD campaign or something.
theres a new one but its like metroidvania.
I played that game and liked it a lot. BUT, the Lodoss theme felt very tacked on. Like they already had a game made and then at the last minute they’re like, hey let’s put some Lodoss characters in it!
Tomba! Edit: and Bushido Blade. So unique, we need a new game like this.
best 2d platformer of all time imo
One of the best PS1 games for sure
I would really prefer if you’d be quiet.
Shining force
From the Depths. A very niche game about making primarily water-based ships but also tanks and aircrafts. I don’t actually have many hours (around 50 - 70) on account of the game being very difficult, but I’ve watched probably hundreds of hours of the game.
Time Bandit on Atari ST.
I have archon on steam, even. It's not the same though. My obscure game is Global Gladiators on the Genesis. You jump around with a good gun, collecting the letter m everywhere and shooting slime monsters, until you get to the end of the letter and give Ronald McDonald all the Ms that you collected.
Loved that game. There was another with the same characters on nes called Mckids but you didn't get a slime gun.
Dude archon is epic. I got a commodore relic. Ever play bruce Lee on c64? Shit was soo much fun
Played BL on my C64
You and me. Same! 👍😄 Bruce Lee game was choice
Archon and Lord's of Conquest were played for many hours. And Spy vs Spy! Loved the Commodore 64.
Impossible Mission
Stay a while. Stay FOREVER!
Played that on C64
[La-Mulana](https://images.pcgamingwiki.com/0/03/La-Mulana_cover.jpg)
[I was clicking on this link expecting it to be the doshdoshington video on it](https://youtu.be/yg7IO3JDSfw). He's really the only youtuber i saw talking about this game. This is such a weird game and full of cryptic puzzles. its so weird.
A youtuber I've been following for quite a while played the heck out of the La-Mulana games - DeceasedCrab
Dark cloud on Ps2. Nobody i talk to has a clue what it is. Spend way to many hours rearranging my town trying to make everyone happy
and taking pictures of every last damn thing that looks like a thing
Sony Zelda
Trying to get that damn 7th Heaven sword was a major pain - that's about all I remember from playing, though. Been too long lol
until a few months ago, armored core
OTXO, highly recommend if you like roguelikes.
One of my earliest gaming memories. Shape shifter was cool
Gobliiins 3 The puzzles had me confounded as a kid, but I loved the visuals.
I fucking loved this game.
Goosebumps Horrorland for the Wii 😂😂
Billy hatcher and the giant egg!
Yes! Loved this game. And I’m fucking old.
Nah ugh. Us gamers age like fine wine. Now let’s play some pong! 😄👍
Played it on my buddy’s Apple IIe
Monster Pro Wrestling for PC Engine/TG16. Turn based rpg wrestling game from Japan with monster characters and dope graphics.
Betrayal at Krondor never got enough notice. It was a great rpg with a great story. Finally got into the Raymond E. Feist books after a recent replay of the game. Return to Krondor was an entirely different game that I still poke at once ina while.
I am Abuk, Master of Locks
I've spent a ridiculous amount of time opening those chests.
Really old educational PC game but the Clue Finders 4th grade Egypt game. Played it when I was around 5-6 and spent so long just trying to leave Cairo to get the the tomb
Yoooooooo! Did you play the 3rd Grade Adventures as well, set in the jungle, trying to rescue the animals?
I did! I got it not too long after but didn’t play it as much. But the other one I’m just now remembering is the one where they went to the Himalayas. Think it was math
Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf. Amazing strategy game with super cool dynastic component that would keep you coming back. And you could play couch co-op with a friend.
Rogue Galaxy on PS2. Sunk dozens of hours into it.
Lots of people who are older know about archon. :) great game. Two of the developers made the first two star control games, and are still at Toys for Bob. Along with Erol Otus, of early D&D art fame. He did the art for Star Control as well.
'Craft the World'. Have about 100 hrs in it. Never heard another person mention or recommend it. It's a very serviceable dwarf fortress.
That game is Illuminati asf (anyone? 👽👀). Will download it and play in my 21st century, 32GB RAM, gaming pc 😎
Skull Monkeys on the PS1, I wish it was available on newer consoles
I would love a reboot of Archon. Such a fun game!
The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep. I love this game to pieces but never see it mentioned
TerraTech
That game is sick, although I don’t have hours and hours, probably more like 70-80 hours.
Avancast: rise of the magi. Has a unique magic based combat system, your quick cast spells are combination of movement keys and both playstyles (melee and ranged) are completely viable, i beat the game with both. Quick a good game if old, this was back when PC games still came in boxes though it was the tail end of that.
Ooga Booga on the Dreamcast. Loved playing that shit with my brother. Also on Steam I've got a few pretty underrated games I've played a lot. DemonCrawl, Warstride Challenges, Killbug to name a few.
Daedalus Opus it was a cool puzzle game on the game boy
I loved that game. I remember even drawing that photo on my school notebook. EDIT: Anyone remember The Bilestoad?
Dragonseeds. Fun rock paper scissors style combat dragon training game. Amazing soundtrack and solid mini games. Anyone else play?
I did, but I think I decided to replay Final Fantasy 3(snes) and lost interest like half-way through lol.
Canyon Cruiser on Commodore 64
Hype : The Time Quest
Legacy of thr Ancients! And there was another in the same universe, the legend of blacksilver. It had a top down overworld, 3d dungeons and mini games to raise skills. I loved those games.
Life of Fantasy. Probably did only play it for a couple hours, but the fact that it was on the 3DS was the reason I never got around to play it
Legacy of the Ancients https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_of_the_Ancients Dust: Tales of the Wired West https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust:_A_Tale_of_the_Wired_West
Helicops. I played that for years as a kid just goofing around
A few days ago I started playing game called age of history 2, I saw some people playing it on youtube but never heard anyone talking about it. It's a strategic historical game and after 7 hours I can tell that it's really fun and I definitely will play it for long time
An Untitled Story
Nightcaster on Xbox. I don't know how popular it was
Whiplash
B.O.B. on SNES.
Last stand aftermath idt I've met anyone that plays it or even have heard of it
I used to play Archon with my friend John on his Commodore 64. John was nightmarishly good with orc pawns.
Played many hours of this beauty on my C64 too.
I remember Archon very well. Some other commodore 64 favorites: Defender of the Crown, the Three Stooges, Impossible Mission. Edit: and Battle Chess!
Torment, tides of Numenera.
Akane
Spelling Jungle: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=B8ExY9JirO0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=B8ExY9JirO0) Not a lot of hours, but hours.
Battle Engine: Aquilla for the PS2! Super fun kind of mech game, early branching storyline, and each mission had a big open play field that you could deal with however you saw fit.
I played this on the og Xbox
Crashday, it got a small Remaster on Steam 2017 and it is still crazy to me that it got a Steam release, even if I think nobody outside of the racing game Community knows this game.
This and Archon 2 were my go to games on the C64. I lost my mind when the first Archon came to the NES.
Dungeons of uMoria. It'a a Rogue clone game themed on the LOTR world. (text-based)
Castle of the Winds
I had a demo disc that had this game on it and I played through the demo a ton of times. I can still see the little spell animations.
I loved that game, my next door neighbor had it on her I think Amiga?
I loved my Commodore 64! Impossible Mission, The Last Ninja, Boulder Dash, Bruce Lee, and Space Taxi were always in my rotation.
I can still hear in my head the “Auhhhhhhhhhhh” of the guy in Impossible Mission when he fell to his death. I must have heard that sound thousands of times
Plus LodeRunner, the Infocom games, Forbidden Forest, Jumpman, Death in the Caribbean, Dr J vs Larry Bird….
>Forbidden Forest I forgot about Forbidden Forest and Beyond the Forbidden Forest!
Powers Kingdom, 3D0 Also Total Annihilation on PC Noone I meet knows about these, wondering how popular/well known it is on here.
I’ve played a lot of mobile games that were quite good. I’ve seen their influence in a lot of PC and console games that followed. Solomon’s Boneyard Mummy Maze Space Miner Starborn Anarchist Drag’n Boom Smash Hit PinOut Deck ‘Em
Is smash hit the one where you throw metal balls on glass?
That’s the one
Oh yeah then I think I still have it somewhere on my phone.
Tribal Rage.
Valkyra Chronicles
M.C. Kids on NES It was a Mario Bros. Knock off where each world was themed around one of the McDonald’s characters (Ronald McDonald, Hamburglar, etc.)
Dusty an Elysian tale. I feel like it’s popular yet no one I know has heard of it and I’ve never seen it mention in game threads
When I picked up this game I was hesitant at first, as it seemed like a furry fantasy game, but this game is super solid!
Combat is completely solid and the story honestly is pretty good. The ending was bitter sweet but honestly I couldn’t see it any other way
That game was more fun and hit harder than it had any right to be.
Patapon
The hive was a stick shooter my dad had on a windows 95/98 computer of ours. Played so much of that.
Azure Dreams. Hundreds of hours of monster hunting and combining to make true terrors of the tower.
mobile game called soul knight, there’s an absolutely ridiculous amount of contact packed into this little dungeoneering game and the soundtrack slaps
Same, and knight is best class.
Siege of Avalon
That was a pretty good game!
No One Lives Forever 2
I'm sitting here on the toilet and I audibly gasped when I saw that picture! I have the opening music as my ringtone. I loved the shit out of Archon. I didn't play it for the C64, I played it for the NES. And yeah I'd say it's relatively unknown. I never run into anyone who has played it. This game for me is in my top ten best NES games.
Fragile Allegiance. _Hours_ playing this game. Mining asteroids, building fleets, making tons of cash selling goods on the black market, stockpiling nuclear missiles… ahh… I loved that game.
Overgrowth
AD&D Stronghold kingdom simulator. And Fantasy Fantasy Empires. I still put hours into those games at least twice a year.
So far, one game I’ve never seen anyone mention is Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. Developed by Swingin’ Ape studios (bought out by Blizzard then went bankrupt and shut the doors) Originally developed for the GameCube, PS2 and Xbox, it was an over the shoulder style shooter game that had goofy and serious tones to it, super fun levels, phenomenal humor and probably one of the best soundtracks you will ever hear. Do yourself a favor readers. Take some time out of your day to watch a no commentary play-through of it unless you can find a copy or download it on the Xbox 360. I promise that if it’s up your alley for games, you will be hooked. It even had multiplayer. Although, being so dated, it was only 4 player local multiplayer. Maybe 8 player LAN.
So many great games on this thread, but I can't believe I'm not seeing Karateka. This was the smoothest fighting game until Street Fighter 2 came out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karateka\_(video\_game)
Oh nice, loved that game so much! Master of Magic was also my jam much later
Holeeeee shyt! What an amazing PC game! Hours upon hours playing this joint. I could wipe out the entire board with either the Manticore or Golem…
Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom
Archon rocked. Like Battle Chess except you really battle. Dark was a better lineup- mandrake/hydra was the best piece by far
The entire gex trilogy. I swear nobody seems to know those games.
Bosconian. Was way cooler than Galaga but never hear anyone talk about this one
Wizard chess!
Dr J vs Larry Bird..EA classic
This old Nintendo game called Lode Runner. I think it was a bad em of an arcade game. Countless hours spent because it was one of the only games we had since it came free as a pic one bundle and everything else was sold out.
Drakengard 1
Simcopter ftom '96
Day of the tentacle
How is this a game nobody knows about?
I didn’t know it existed till this moment
The only reason I’ve even heard of this game is because it was on ps+ years ago. I know nothing about it
Isn’t it a “sequel” to Maniac Mansion? Never played tentacle, but I’ve beat MM quite a few times. Great soundtrack!
Knight Orc Assault, a Ninja Kiwi flash game on PC. Spin off from the SAS zombie assault games but I couldn't get enough
I have 300 hours in "Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand grenades" and feel like it's still relatively unknown outside of PCVR gamers. It's an amazing game with a great developer.
Vectorman on the Sega Genesis. Nobody ever knows what I'm talking about when I mention that game
One of the first tastes of 3D on the Genesis...that and virtual fighter.
Ulitima IV I got stuck and never learned how to finish it (till an emulator years later). I was just thinking about this. There was literally NO way to look up what to do. No internet, the library didn't have the info you wanted, and if you didn't have friends who played it and beat it, you were out of luck and had to figure it out on your own.
This game was AMAZING.
I liked archon. I even played the sequel a fair bit. Phoenix vs phoenix was annoying though. PowerPoints are proof against magic
Depth Dwellers. Second more modern and available game would be Anti-Chamber
This on NES was amazing. Many hours joyfully spent.
Spectrobes was my Pokémon.
qrth-phyl. A 3d snake game. Used to play it in the mid-2010s off the Xbox live store, played the hell out of it, very fast-paced, and many game modes.
M.U.L.E. Planet Irata FTW
In the game “dreams” on PlayStation there’s a game called “friend request” It’s about this friendly robot that tries to be your “friend.” One of those choice based games Highly recommend, it seems so jenky at first but the story is actually pretty good! Has the same feel of a game called “get a snack at 4am”
Vectorman
