Underrated Games/Hidden Gems

[madrocsz]

As  my collection is nearing completion, at least for what I wanted to get for most of the older systems was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for  games that I may have overlooked or some that those feel are not given the attention they may have deserved. You know, since I can't just stop collecting

For example -

I always felt Blaster Master was one of the best games for the NES, I rented this from the video store as a kid and ended up renting it so many times they eventually gave it to me. Sure, the story is pretty retarded but the gameplay and music are awesome.

Alisia Dragoon on the Sega Genesis. One of the earlier Sega Genesis title, the game is a strong platformer in the vein of golden axe, and it is a damn shame it was over looked.

Silent Bomber for the PSone was a great action game. Think Bomberman Act Zero done right.

Gimmick! / Mr. Gimmick! or Ufouria for the NES. Sunsoft was the bomb back in the NES days!

If your into obscure-fun puzzle games,Tricky Kick and Boxy Boy on the TG-16 was pretty addicting. I sure I can think of a ton more, my brain isn't really working right now lol.

I loved little nemo, had that kirby feel turning into different things. I have been wanting to get a TG-16 as there were a few games I had in mind for it. Enslaved Odyssey I beat shortly after it came out and Amazon had it for dirt cheap. I agree very underrated game and crazy ending. Another current gen game I actually really enjoyed but hear nothing about was Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom

River City Ransom for the NES/ GBA has always been one of my favorites. Along with Star Tropics/Zoda's Revenge.

Now the Mana games I was always in love with. Final Fantasy Tactics was pretty sweet.

I'm sure I got a bunch of other but that's the ones off the top of my head.

If you like action platformers, try Shadow of the Ninja for NES.  I just picked up a copy last week and have already played it through twice.  Definitely a ton of fun, and not as frustratingly difficult as Ninja Gaiden.

I'm personally gonna check out Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom. I've always been curious about that game but after looking at some videos of it online, it looks right up my ally!

There is a game called Mischief Makers for the N64. It's a unique platformer with really good graphics and music. Sadly it's never had a virtual console release and often gets overlooked. Shake Shake!

While I can't say its too underrated, I loved Rock N Roll racing for the SNES, good soundtrack and great gameplay.
