Spent hours playing this on Sega TV with my cousins, definitely more fun than blades of steel. Games would usually end when you murdered the whole team and you won by default. Very satisfying.




Got this at Costco for $14 on pc when i was like 12. Never heard about it but played it for hours and hours. Never beat it though. Pity.




Tongue of the Fatman was the first "Street Fighter" style game that I played that had something different to offer. After every match, you could buy weapons to use in the fight. More money means you could buy more destructive weapons. It was incredibly cheap, with some weapons killing you instantly, and others would make you fall asleep for 30 seconds or so, which is more than enough time for the other guy to kill you.




Played this for a long time, for many years. Think I beat it, but what does it matter? Basic sidescroll but was cool back in the day.




Ninja Rabbit: You were a Ninja Rabbit. You killed bad guys with a stick. A+




3D action with jaw dropping graphics. Never beat it.



Blatant ripoff of mario cart. But for PC!




Probably more popular than some of the titles, but definetly very good. only had the demo but i played a lot of it.

I remember MDK... never played it though.

Anyone remember Syndicate?

Just an FYI, MDK for the PC is abandonware now I believe, which means that its free! Try HERE and do a search. Lots of other free/legal abandonware here as well. Have fun!

Very fun game!!! Didnt play it too much, reminds me so much of Shadowrun (on SNES or Genesis)!

Other hidden gems: (NES) Startropics - Well this one was kind of popular but a great litle rpg, challenging and quite lengthy!

I know there are a whole bunch more, but i cant think of any right now!

Connerman: Rez is OUT TODAY on 360!!! I'm gonna go write a post on it!

Ok top of my list here for a game that was so overlooked but was so incredible for its time, that I'm still today shocked it was merely a puff in time.

Sinistar: Unleashed on the PC

The game, now nearly 9 years old, look amazing even today. It was way ahead of its time and had that old school, arcade shooter feel to it.

Vandal Hearts for PS1...one of the best (if not THE best) turn based strategy RPG of all time. I frackin love this game. Great story...nice effects..lots of blood...full 3D camera control...awesome maps and tons of different character classes to experiment with. A must play for strategy fans.

I hardly ever beat RPG's, I can count the number I have on one hand, and guess what, one of them fingers represents this game. Incredibly awesome, Konami struck gold when they released this piece of platinum software back in the 90's. Tons and tons of fun.

Vandal Hearts 2 was a little different, though, as the enemies moved at the SAME time as you did, unlike this one where you took turns.

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN yeah, phantasy star on the megadrive was wicked. "shining in the darkness" was a "3d" dungeon scrolling RPG which was awesome as well, i loved the storyline.

A great game here as well. I didnt own it, but a friend of mine did and I can admit that this went very much under the rader. I wanna say they made a sequel, but I'm not entirely sure.

Originally posted by Gen3r4l1ty yea, still have 2 -4 for gen as well. All classics in my mind.

I hear the cartridge of the 4th can go for upwards of $200 on eBay. Honestly, though, I never really got into it, I'm not really an RPG gamer, and I got these as gifts from a friend who happened to sell his Genesis (and he didnt know the value these games had mwuhahaha). That being said, I DID get into Phantasy Star Online for Dreamcast, not as much as a lot of people, but enough that I knew what I was talkin about.

I'm lovin the tastes you have, I forgot about nearly all of those games. Cant say I've played all of them, but Mutant Hockey League and MDK are some favs that the rest of the world seemed to forget about.

I am FORCING my roomie with his huge as all hell HDTV to buy this for his 360, I cant even fathom how good it will look. Oh, and his stereo, the one that causes noise complaints from neighbors 4 doors down...imagine the sound on that. Wow.

Ill have to check this out, never heard of it. Sounds interesting to say the least.

You might be thinking of Shining Force, for which they made a sequel. It was the same style as shining in the darkness (characters and story) but it was a more traditional 3rd person RPG rather than a 1st person. Both of the Shining Forces were also excellent.

Hmmm...I very much know of Shining Force 1 + 2, the second was one of the few games I had for the Genesis back when in the grade school days, so I'm pretty sure that's not what I'm thinking of, I always thought they made a Shining in the Darkness 2 or something of that sort, maybe it only came out in Japan or maybe I dont even know what I'm talking about.

But it IS very easy to confuse the two, how many games have Shining as a predominant word in the title...

I also want to say that Shining Force 3 for Saturn is one of the hardest games to find. And when you find it, you are likely paying very high triple-digit dollars.
