Elemental Gimmick Gear or E.G.G.
It's a 2D Zelda like game. Except the boss fights are fully rendered in 3D. It's easily one of the best games no one has ever heard of. It deserves a port on Steam.

Etrain Odyssey IV is pretty close to that. |
To Wizardry 1-5, yes. Wizardry 8 (and the Dark Savant trilogy in general)? Not even close
Etrian Odyssey is basically a spiritual successor to Wyzardry's Lylgamyn Series, aka Wizardry 1-5 plus all the Japan-only succesors the series got. But the dark savant trilogy which followed after the Lylgamyn series never cought on nearly as well in Japan as their predecessors did, hence why all the changes and improvements in these versions are missing in Etrian Odyssey

I'm just surprised someone else actually remembers Magic Carpet. Tis a shame what happened to Bullfrog Productions and their IPs after being acquired by EA. I enjoy Heroes of Might & Magic a lot but only played 2 and 5 on PC and Clash of Heroes on the DS. |
I played Magic carpet togehter with a friend, ne on the keyboard and the other one with the joystick, since we didn't manage to ht the right keys on the keyboard in the heat of battle when we played single, so we teamed up.
Yeah, and not just Bullfrog. Origin Systems (Wing Commander, Ultima), Westwood (Command & Conquer, Lands of Lore), Maxis (Sim series) all got put trough the grinder after their aquisition. No wonder Molyneux and Garriot left their companies in disgust after earing what EA planned for them. Just wish Molyneux would have continued making great games instead of just imagining and promising them, Godus anyone?
I played through Might & Magic 1-8, Heroes of Might & Magic 1-5 and Might & Magic X. Ubisoft turned the complex Science Fanasy game series into a pretty standard and bland high fantasy setting.
Other game series I'm missing very much these days: Panzer general and Battle Isle. But Turn-based Wargames are pretty much dead for about 20 years now.

Well one I feel people should stop shitting on or whining about is Zelda II; that was a superb game and most who played it at the time recognize it as such, but people have retroactively come to dislike it because it's the most difficult of the bunch and doesn't match the style of the other Zelda games (which was not at all a standardized thing when Zelda II came out).
Zelda II features just about the smoothest controls and best combat and hitboxes of any 8bit game I've ever played.
Rescue on Fractulus is 30 years old now. Classic game from the Atari 8bit and C64 era. Surprisingly playable despite being an early game with fractal generated graphics and a 3D world you fly through all with a humble 8bit processor.
Wing commander 3 on the 3do was the first time I'd played a game with such high production values. It literally felt like you were part of a movie. I still find the movie segments watchable today and the gameplay good enough to enjoy.
Just for sheer playability Tempest 2000 on the Jaguar.
God I love this game. One of my fave son Saturn. 3D Mech shooter and my god the soundtrack is amazing.

Still my favorite Zelda. Yes, I find it better than OoT and BotW. And took me until the GBA rerelease to finally beat the game
