I wish to commend the inclusion of Valkyrie Profile, and Rez though. Valkyrie Profile because it's one of the finest RPGs I have played, and Rez, simply because of the article on GameGirl Advance. Anything that cool should be on the list.
But yes, I wish to add Eternal Darkness, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, PTO 2, and... some others I can't think of right now.

HAHAHA! oh, sorry...
Mischief Makers, Gunstar Heroes, and basically almost every game that Treasure makes have been sleeper hits that have only a small cult following...like me

valkyrie profile is one of the best rpgs the playstation has to offer- the battle system alone makes the game worth owning and the story is very good- not the norm of other rpgs
and eternal darkness definately stands out as well- that game is very well done and the story is well crafted- it is a shame not too many ever owned that game- it is one of the best the gamecube has to offer
and bill is right- most of treasures games are very very good- ikaruga and raidient silvergun are very good games, along with gunstar heros and mischief makers

Look here for a site paying honor to those forgotten games. Especially the Hall of Belated Fame is worth a look.

I'd like to add my name to the Eternal Darkness vote as well. Once I got into it I was hooked!

SCORE! you have some class after all mr honda basically i could rattle off an arm load of amiga games that most people have never heard of, i should probably stick to games on the nes and beyond. ill have to go with bill on Mischief Makers (love the avatar) its truely an awsome game, 2d games are awsome, and this is awsome for a 2d game.

I cant stand all the hate this game gets, its really really good
Oh, and Eternal Darkness of course. And i think Super Monkey Ball should be alot more popular than it is.

I might have to check out Valkyrie Profile.
Hehe, it is pretty hard to find (with a reasonable price tag).

I spent many hours on these games growing up, and recommend them to anyone if they can still find them.
For the uninitiated, Unirally was a two-player racing game where you took on a CPU or other player on a course with unicycles (there were no characters, just unicycles come to life), to win (duh). The fun part was the tricks you needed to pull off to gain speed. Always pushing the limits was necessary to win, and it was frustrating to crash and have to catch up, but the rewards of pulling off some insane tricks was very satisfying. It was 2D, and the two-player races were right up there with Mario Kart for sheer fun for the time.

Shadowrun... I'm not sure, but I think there's a pen & paper RPG of the same name...
Thats true, and the game is based on that universe.
I would be remissed if i didnt add Eternal Darkness. I havent finished it, but it has been great all the way through. Also, Ultima Exodus on the NES was my first RPG, and its great.

Wonder whatever happened with Thief III? Wasn't Eidos publishing it?
Post by: Termin8Anakin on October 18, 2003, 05:02:06 AM
Or should it be consoles that should be popular and aren't?
