Hmm....some forgotten gems. Let me see what I can come up with.
-Wizards and Warriors for the NES was a lot of fun and had some creative weapons and equipment. It was frustrating but still a great game.
-Rise of the Kasai for the PS2 was less acclaimed than Mark of the Kri but I enjoyed it a bit more. Maybe because of the female character. Who's to say?
-On the PS1, there was the epic Brave Fencer Musashi that was so charming, I think I'll check the PSN and see if it's downloadable for the Vita. I had sold my N64 and needed a Zelda replacement. Musashi looked like a Zelda game but turned out to be a magical experience on its own.
-Available on the eShop was one of my favorite "Metroid-Vania" games for the SNES called Demon's Crest. Playing as a demon doesn't seem as appealing in this day and age but at a time when devs were willing to take more risks, this game really stood out for me.
-Finally, I'll name the N64 game Blast Corps. Your job is to clear the way for a missle that's...you know what? Your job is to blow shit up. That was the premise and, at the time, the explosions were spectacular. A symbol of the "Old Rare" and their ability to think outside of the box.
