There's a game for the original Gameboy called Gargoyle's Quest.  It starred one of the bosses from Ghost's N Goblins but this game was better than any game from that series.  It was like Castlevania with RPG elements.   I'll post the youtube review when I get home (if I don't forget.)  You wouldn't believe the Gameboy could pull this one off-vit was so ahead of its competition.

There was an even better sequel for the Snes called Demon's Crest.  It was right there with Super Metroid as far as music, atmosphere, and exploration.  The best example of the "Metroid-Vania" style that I could find outside of the two big guns in this genre.  Look at the youtube videos for these games and hope that they become Virtual Arcade titles someday!

Remember to post that review!

Aerobiz and Aerobiz: Supersonic.

Interesting this gets brought up.  I acquired both the Genesis (MD) version of Aerobiz and also Master of Monsters on the Genesis off someone in college.  Aerobiz is a hardcore business sim, and demanding on players.

that's goes witht he territory in Koei's sims

anyway

Sengoku 3, a neo geo beat'em up released in 2001, has some of the best fighting mechanics ever in a beat'em up

Iron Soldier 1 2, the atari jaguar may have had mostly bad games (probably about 30 of the 50 or so games) but the 2 Iron Soldier games stand out as 2 excellent mech games. The only thing I can see people not liking is the very high difficulty, but they play exceedingly well, have good music, and easily the best visuals on the Jaguar (this might not sound like much, but Iron Soldiers have pretty active worlds with enemies that look like something instead of nothing) I can't quite understand why atari thought Cybermorph was the game to push over Iron Soldier

Solaris- massive open world space adventure game, late atari 2600 game is probably the pinacle of technical and visual achievement on the 2600 plus it play great as well

Frankenstein's monster 2600- probably the first game with a bad ending , fairly uninteresting pitfall like game, until you lose

Little Sampson Excellent NES platformer, why tiato was so bad at distributing their games is beyond me

 

Thunder Castle- intellivision, play as a knight, bust up dragons, wizards, and demon all by touching mice, great music 2



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Space Station Silicon Valley - N64

P.N.03 - GCN

These two come to mind.

Terranigama ~ One of the best RPGs out there that nobody has ever played.


Seconded, IMO one of the greatest RPGs ever made


It really is a great game, it's just below FFVI and Chrono Trigger for me on my list of best SNES RPGs.

I never got to play Rayearth, but the other two are some damned fine experiences.  I actually bought a Saturn just for Dragon Force.  Considering I played it through at least twice with each leader, I'd say the investment was worth it!  Too bad my Saturn's memory is broken, so it deletes all the saves as soon as I turn off the system. :-/


Just change the round Lithium battery at the  right-back-bottom of the console, then it will work again, those batteries last about 3-4 years



Disruptor for PS 1 I believe it was Naughty Dogs' first game and one of the better FPSs on PS
