Blades of Time. Like many games, I bought it because it featured a hot girl on the cover. The time travel aspect was unique and really fun. Wound up loving this game

Mercenary Force on Gameboy. Basically a side scrolling shooter but you chose different classes based on what you could afford. You chose 4 (or maybe it was 5) mercenaries and you could change their formation on the fly. Some guys only shot horizontally. Others shot at an diagonally. Some only vertically. Game was over when all of you team was dead. It was fun.

I can name dozens more.

Probably Killer 7, although I still don't understand what the stroy is even about.

I like it for the style and the crazyness. It's hard to describe with words.

Not quite obscure, but Thumper doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves. As a rhythm game it's just about as good as it gets, awesome music, awesome mechanics, awesome artstyle, everything about is amazing.

That game is amazing but stressful! The slightest stimulation from something outside the game, the gentlest noise possible, can cause me to have my beat balance thrown off haha. I still haven't beaten it cause of this. But that story!

I remember playing a game on N64 (I think?) And I just remember Mount Fuji (or something like that) being where this little town was set, and he was a fat, sword weilding dude that looked like Yajirobi from Dragon Ball. I cannot remember any other details and it has bothered my brain for years because I don't remember the game, but I enjoyed playing it immensly as a kid! If anyone knows what this is I will be happy!

Sacrifice. Rated as one of the best games of all time... But sadly seems forgotten to the marches of time.
Was a Hybrid RTS game.

Was visually impressive almost 20 years ago as well.

Eternal Ring.Its a title from From that was made when they were still niche.I have to admit that the game is mediocre at best, but I find it so good.I guess its a mixture of having a decent story, excellent music and nostalgia from when I was younger.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

My PC couldn't handle it at the time, but by the time I had a new PC I had lost all interest in the RTS genre.
