The old GTA games come to mind. I liked GTA 1 and GTA 2. Still play the second game sometimes. Don't know if many compare it to the later installments that most seem to love. But even revisiting reviews from back when the second game released it seemed to just rate so-so. To me the old top-down GTA games had something the later games lack, charm. Not enough to bump it to legendary status, but enough for me to revisit and have fun.
Donkey Konga is another one that come to mind. To me it was on par with the likes of Guitar Hero, and actually released before it. But it lacked the cool factor I guess.
