While I wish this was true, most of my friends wouldn't know what they are... then again I am only 16 so I was very young when it came out. Most of my friends wouldn't have had a system by then |
Spyro the Dragon was one of the greatest freaking games of all time. I remember spending hours on the flight levels to get 100% completion (so that I could unlock the extra level for 120% completion). One of my friends pick up a used copy of it a few months ago, and I wound up borrowing it for a couple weeks. It actually managed to live up to my memories of it, so that's saying something. It's just too bad that the first game was the only good game in the series (at least out of the first 3).

Actually, on a SNES emulator I have it has this game on it and I play it every now and then. |
I have an actual copy of that game for the SNES. It's a fun little game.

I have this game, too. I used to play it all the time when I was a kid. I don't have the sequel, Zoda's Revenge, but I've played through it.
I've actually played or at least heard of most, if not all, of the games in this thread. That's the problem with threads like these. Gamers know these games, but your average Joe might not. Lord, if games like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, and Parappa The Rappa that have sold millions upon millions of copies qualify as unheard of games, why not Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy 7?
I would have to nominate games, such as:
Pirate Ship HigeMaru - Capcom game only released in JAP arcades (re-released on compilation for JAP Saturn)
Hebereke's Popoitto - Dr. Mario clone with a lot of personality and great characters for JAP/PAL Saturn (I like the game so much I've got both copies)
Popful Mail - unique 2d Action/RPG for the Sega CD
Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle - awesome 2d tag fighting game for the Neo Geo arcade
and all of the games for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, but Bio Motor Unitron, SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash, and Neo Turf Masters, in particular.

Sin & Punishment for the PS1.
Also Noitu Love 1 & 2 for the PC.
The 1st is free but the 2nd is 20 bucks. A bit spendy but its a terrific game.

Oh yes, this was so much fun.
Also, Parodius, which was a Gradius parody made by Konami. Hilarious in every way that Darius Twin was but never meant to be.

It sounds stupid, but it was one of my favorite PS1 games, along with Ape Ecsape. Funny they both involve monkeys. |
I had this game as well. Fun game, but I never did beat it. I bet I could find it somewhere around my house though... |

I was just gonna post about that. I freakin LOVED Secrect Of Evermore, and nobody has ever heard of it. I got bored and gave Secret Of Evermore a play last week even. I got this one X-mas with Final Fantasy 6, Secret Of Mana, and Chrono Trigger. As a young aspiring RPG fan, best X-mas ever. |

Ugh. This has to be up there on the list of worst RPGs ever. Talk about a grind worse than Dragon Warrior.
Also, Secret of Evermore is crap, play Secret of Mana.

Wasn't there already a thread (maybe 2?) about this? *shrug* I only think this because I remember saying that Ogre Battle 64 is one of the best games on the N64, and nobody has heard of it.

Weird flipper car racing game - PS1: Yes this one was WEIRD. You were racing. I can't remember this one clearly, but it was great. It's a game about those flipper cars, which can drive no matter which side the turn. There was this one level where it was very long, and I usually called it the hyperspeed level. Maybe around 5 or 6 years since I saw this game. I have never heard from it again. |
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of rollcage:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollcage_(video_game)
Great game, BTW.
I would have to say Tomba! is one of my all time favorite games, and no one i know has heard of it. 
Edit: Damn it, the link takes you to the page for rollcages themselves, click "Roll cage (video game)" and it's there.  |

Ikaruga - Polarity switching, psychologicaly demanding, vertically scrolling space shooter from treasure. The most fun game to play at a high level ever, with expert play a beautiful 40 min dance of death.
Einhander - IMO this is squaresoft's best PS era game. A horizontally scrolling space shooter with an awesome powerup system that demands careful planning and execution.
Seiken Densetsu 3 - The sequel to the revered Secret of Mana. Never released in the US, but there is a fan translation ROM patch. Must play for multiple character classes and super fun gameplay.
Guitar Hero 2 - Is fucking awesome.
