Title: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: riakage on 16 December 2007, 08:04:23 Man I remember playing these games all the time, but no one ever heard of them.
Dragon Quest Monsters 2:Tara's and Cobi's Adventures(two seperate games) for GBC Mischief Makers for N64 Conkers Bad Fur Day for N64 Doubutsu no Mori for N64 Glover for N64 Gex: Enter the Gecko for Playstation Rayman for Playstation Wario Land(1,2, and 3) for GBC Shining Force (can't rember which system, I had it on a collectors edition PC disc) Dokapon Monster Hunter for GBA Every single one of those games are not widely known, but these games are some of the funnest games I have ever played. I think the most popular ones on there are the Wario Land games and Doubutsu no Mori(known in America as Animal Crossing) Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 16 December 2007, 08:07:26 I have Shining Force on a GBA.. alternative. I don't know if it's the same as the one you mentioned. I remember most of those games you said, but not all of them were good and I didn't play all of them.
Conker was dope though. The original, not Xbox. But it is widely known, and Dragon Quest Monsters 2, and Wario Land are as well. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: riakage on 16 December 2007, 08:22:18 I have Shining Force on a GBA.. alternative. I don't know if it's the same as the one you mentioned. I remember most of those games you said, but not all of them were good and I didn't play all of them. Yes, the Shining Force on the GBA is pretty much the same thing, but with more features. I know the Wario Land is widely known, but I think that is mostly because of Wario Land 4, and the Conker on the 64 was awesome, screw that Xbox crap they called a game. Posted on: 16 December 2007, 08:10:59 I do have one more game to add to this list that next to no one has ever heard of. Jazz Jackrabbit Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Panda on 16 December 2007, 08:32:13 I used to play Dragon Quest Monsters (the original one) on gameboy all the time. I played the gameboy version of Conker as well.
Rayman (the original one) was always one of my favourite games, and so was Jazz Jackrabbit; which was probably the first game I ever played online. Here's an awesome series that very few people played: Commander Keen. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Orange Devil on 16 December 2007, 08:39:05 I'm pretty sure that I remember almost all of those games and never forgot about them.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 16 December 2007, 08:43:03 Who hasn't played Commander Keen?
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Panda on 16 December 2007, 09:56:58 Most people I know, actually.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Kamon on 16 December 2007, 14:14:24 Mischief Makers isn't that unknown. Generally if a person knows of Gunstar Heroes, they'll know of Mischief Makers.
Gex and Gex 3D are fairly well known too. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: KPL on 16 December 2007, 14:17:23 So is Rayman. I've played through Wario Land as well.
Wario Land is a great platformer. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Kamon on 16 December 2007, 14:23:45 I remember Shining Force on the MegaDrive/Genesis.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 16 December 2007, 18:17:14 Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 December 2007, 18:35:31 Dragon Quest Monsters, FTW!
All Dragon Quest games in general are awesome though. The games I played were: Dragon Quest Monsters (1 and 2, actually, and now Joker for DS), Mischief Makers (love it), Conkers Bad Fur Day (never played the XBox one but it sucks apparently), Doubutsu no Mori (exact same thing as the GCN one...), Glover (have it, don't remember ANYTHING about it), Gex: Enter the Gecko (have it, remember it sucking), and Wario Land (I've only played and beat the second and first... I've never tried the third yet. D:). So yeah, I played most games on your list. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 16 December 2007, 18:42:58 I think I rented Gex, because I have the distinct impression of it sucking hard.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Jakey on 16 December 2007, 19:46:29 Yes, yes, I remember that too. It was confusing as balls.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: riakage on 17 December 2007, 02:06:52 The only reason Gex sucked was because of its retarded camera. Mishcief Makers is VERY unknown, especially to today's average gamers. I have never played Commander Keen but I heard it was from the rival company of Jazz Jackrabbit. The Original Rayman isn't known as well as today's piece o' crap rayman games. Gex is also very unknown because it had little popularity when it came out and it had but 3 or 4 games.
Posted on: 17 December 2007, 02:02:34 I used to play Dragon Quest Monsters (the original one) on gameboy all the time. I played the gameboy version of Conker as well. Lol, the gameboy version of Conker is absolutely NOTHING compared to the N64 version. And I will put it like this. In the gameboy version, you had to run around talking to the cute and furry woodland creatures, shooting enemies with your slingshot and collecting stuff and things like that. Then our little Conker grew up and made it to the N64, where he slapped the hell out of people with his frying pan, getting drunk and pissing on people at the clubs, and even going so far as to joinging the army and robbing a bank(matrix style of course) Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 17 December 2007, 02:22:22 Don't forget fighting a monster made of #####.
I don't know man, I'm not very hardcore game-wise and I remembered all those games you mentioned safe a couple, and I can remember seeing them all in the same homebrew backwater place. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: riakage on 17 December 2007, 02:32:01 Yeah, they didn't make the monster any better by having him SING about #####.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mournson on 25 December 2007, 09:14:22 Anyone heard of Beyond Oasis, or Legend of Oasis. great games, Beyond was for Genesis and Legend was for Saturn. abe knows them. but by some thor name that I forgot.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Abominator on 25 December 2007, 11:19:14 Story of Thor and Legend of Thor.
Great fun. I think the first one is Virtual Console'd now. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mournson on 26 December 2007, 05:32:12 as in that forbidden fruit of recreation on the pc that we're not supposed to speak of, yes, yes it is.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: dzx9 on 26 December 2007, 05:34:00 Dog's Life!
T'was an awesome game! Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 26 December 2007, 08:03:05 as in that forbidden fruit of recreation on the pc that we're not supposed to speak of, yes, yes it is. Virtual Console is what lets you get old Sega, N64, SNES, NES and other games on your Wii. Not THAT. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Abominator on 26 December 2007, 13:56:05 Dog's Life! Wasnt that some piss-poor THQ licensed platformer for the SNES? Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 26 December 2007, 22:28:23 Definitely has the name of one.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: KPL on 26 December 2007, 22:29:29 Dynamite Headdy ring a bell to anyone? Lovely game it is, because it makes no sense at all.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Abominator on 26 December 2007, 23:31:32 It was good, but not as good as people said it was back in the day.
How about Transformers for the ZX Spectrum? I loved it. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mournson on 28 December 2007, 04:48:47 Dynamite Headdy ring a bell to anyone? Lovely game it is, because it makes no sense at all. I loved it, though it brings back memories of a game I could never, and will never beat. I just don't have the head for it Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: preventerWIND on 28 December 2007, 05:53:26 EVO - Search for Eden
##### yeah. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 28 December 2007, 06:12:45 Ecco The Dolphin.
Haaah. I had so much fun not know what the ##### to do. Echo location? Why even have that? Like, there's NO other dolphins around Ecco, you mook. They all got sucked into a vortex or some thing! Or whatever. I don't really remember the game well other than it didn't tell me what was going on slash what to do and it would've been extremely boring (well it was) if I couldn't jump out of the water. ... I was like 10 or so... Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: dzx9 on 30 December 2007, 18:23:53 Dog's Life! Nope. (http://ps2.ign.com/objects/616/616202.html) Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Dopefish on 30 December 2007, 19:31:29 Who hasn't played Commander Keen? Anyone who doesn't remember Windows 3.x, MS-DOS or the still useful today Norton Commander? *cough* I've played all the Keens! 1-6 including Dreams and the horrible GBC game. Commander Keen is a childhood memory for a lot of people...I first played Keen 4 when I was 5 years old, it was just as fun now as it was then. The 1990s and the very late 80s were such a great time for PC games(and NES games too), its when they really started getting good. And let us not forget that the Commnader Keen series started the Dopefish phenomenon! ::) I have tons of classic DOS games....Jazz Jackrabbit(The orginal 9 episodes) Epic Pinball, Zone Raiders, Tyrian, Radix: Beyond the void, Lemmings, Dune, and Descent 1 and 2.... Windows games are cool...But DOS games rock. I didn't much care for the DOS Megaman games though. They were icky! Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Abominator on 30 December 2007, 21:54:19 Dog's Life! Here (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/image/588320.html)'s what I was thinking of. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Xero on 30 December 2007, 21:54:42 Commander Keen. I remember that.
I remember DOPEFISH as well. Also the ball enemy, the slug, the little thing that turns into a huge mouth, and various other stuff. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 30 December 2007, 22:38:18 Dog's Life! Both sound bad. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Dopefish on 30 December 2007, 23:32:48 I played a demo of the Dog's Life game....It was slightly amusing but I wouldn't buy it.
Commander Keen. I remember that. Yep thats Keen 4, which is still free to download across the internet....You will need DOSbox to run it properly on XP though. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 31 December 2007, 02:50:27 Dopefish used to bother me when I was first playing. There was something oddly creepy in their dopishness maybe.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Dopefish on 31 December 2007, 18:25:10 That level was actually quite annoying....
Ever been to the Dopefish home page (http://www.dopefish.com/fishinfo.html)? Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Jakey on 31 December 2007, 18:42:11 Who's played Earthworm GODDAMN Jim?! I know someone has. It's too awesome of a game not to have played it. I just remembered it.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: ChaosVortex on 31 December 2007, 18:43:58 Saw the SNES box in a video game rental years back. Never played it.
I also remember the TV show. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Jakey on 31 December 2007, 18:44:55 It could have changed your liiiiiiiife! Now you will never know.
Unless you look it up on Youtube. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Snare on 31 December 2007, 18:46:53 OH I PLAYED IT I PLAYED IT
There was this one level where you played as this little tiny worm thing and you ate stuff. OH OH OH And there was this mini game (level?) Where you had to rescue puppies with a trampoline, and if you dropped one that little dog guy got all huge and killed you. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Xero on 31 December 2007, 19:32:15 Earthworm Jim.
Peter Puppy Psycrow Professor Monkey for the Head Bob the Killer Goldfish Evil the Cat. Need I go on? TV show was classic. Because it was done by Warner Brothers back during the Animaniacs/Freakazoid era when it was pure win. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Dopefish on 31 December 2007, 20:59:37 Speaking of worm-based games...
Anyone here ever play Liero (http://www.freewaregaming.com/aa/liero.html)? Talk about w00tyness, that game is awesome to play in 2 player mode! Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Xero on 31 December 2007, 21:02:42 Is this stuff legal?
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Dopefish on 31 December 2007, 23:09:47 Yeah, Liero has been freeware since its release in 2000.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Jakey on 1 January 2008, 03:38:37 HOLY MADRE DE DIOS!!!
I FERAKGING LOOOOOOOVE LIERO, I've been looking for that game for sooooooooo long but I couldn't remember the name!! a089udfa90s8duA[FKA['DSOFKA'DFOK'ASOKA0SD0SS Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Slugkid on 1 January 2008, 15:38:50 Liero is like worms... I like worms better.
Also, Earthworm jim... I played most of them. The last one I finished, having finished all the others before it, the ending was that [spoiler] EVERYBODY WAS A COW![/spoiler] Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Dopefish on 1 January 2008, 15:46:08 I bought the Worms "forts" game for PS2 awhile back....it was alright but it was far to buggy for its own good. ???
I FERAKGING LOOOOOOOVE LIERO, I've been looking for that game for sooooooooo long but I couldn't remember the name!! Total real-time Wormy destruction! ;D As for Earthworm Jim I've never actually played it, I've heard its somewhat similar to Jazz Jackrabbit.... Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Kamon on 1 January 2008, 15:51:21 In my opinion, Worms peaked with Armageddon. The ones after that just plain sucked.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Johncarllos on 1 January 2008, 16:17:03 Worms World Party was fun. Online play kicked ass.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: White Shadow on 1 January 2008, 17:26:26 Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 1 January 2008, 20:41:45 I got bored of Earthworm Jim. Fast.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Jakey on 1 January 2008, 20:45:36 I thought the music on the SNES and Genesis ones were outta sight.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 1 January 2008, 21:07:38 Definitely.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Abominator on 2 January 2008, 00:10:21 In my opinion, Worms peaked with Armageddon. The ones after that just plain sucked. I concur. 3D Worms is smellin... Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Johncarllos on 2 January 2008, 03:54:43 Worms is NOT a 3D game and doesn't work as such.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 2 January 2008, 04:21:27 Looked pretty crap, yeah.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Kamon on 2 January 2008, 10:03:13 Looked like crap, felt like crap, played like crap.
Yep, Worms 3D was crap all round. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mournson on 2 January 2008, 10:12:45 Who hasn't played Commander Keen?I didn't much care for the DOS Megaman games though. They were icky! dude I loved them, I have the very first original megaman game for dos, if you were to run it on a modern day computer it's unplayable cause everything goes to fast. all the animations and crap move as fast as the processer allows. I wish I could build a random peice of crap to play it. any of you guys played Parasite Eve? it was well know, but rarely thought about. I loved it, untill I got stuck, then my PS1 burned out and I was gameless for like 4 years, no joke. I need to find my memory card now that I have a PS2. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Voulnet on 3 January 2008, 16:52:02 Parasite Eve was kinda okay, but all the monsters were stupid.
The design of the monsters in that game was by far the worst I've seen, so much fail it was too funny. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: ASR on 4 January 2008, 01:12:21 Back when Roller Coaster Tycoon was popular... oh god. I used to play that to no end with all my friends. Nowadays I can't stand it, but back then... hoo boy. It was win.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 4 January 2008, 01:14:59 I always wanted to try that.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 4 January 2008, 01:22:45 The only cool roller coasters are the one you drive 'this car' on and have big sharks around the corner.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: ChaosVortex on 4 January 2008, 01:23:06 I'd play Roller Coaster Tycoon right now if I had it on me. It's still fun.
Although, not on my list of purchasable games. There are others with higher priority. But... Zoo Tycoon. What the #####? Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 4 January 2008, 01:25:59 The only cool roller coasters are the one you drive 'this car' on and have big sharks around the corner. Jurassic Shark? Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: ASR on 4 January 2008, 01:38:02 RCT was a novel game, and kept me occupied for a good year or so on and off. I lost interest because it is pretty time-consuming, and I had better things to do with my life. When it first came out, I was the prime age for playing it non-stop, not that I can remember how old I was without checking when the game came out.
Building roller coasters to nowhere and subsequently launching tourits to their deaths was just as much a part of the game as the actual theme park simulation was. I'm trying really hard to remember the cheats - back then, it was a big thing when someone found out a cheat for Roller Coaster Tycoon or Starcraft... those were both popular back then, and the internet was still new to me and my group of friends. My group of friends and I. Whatever. Shut up, Sano. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: NovaMan XP on 4 January 2008, 01:46:18 Building roller coasters to nowhere and subsequently launching tourits to their deaths was just as much a part of the game as the actual theme park simulation was. That was basically all I really remember doing in that game. "LOL ROCKET RIDE FLIES AWAY AND EXPLODES" And then you drown the amusement park mascot by picking him up and dropping him in the water... Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: ASR on 4 January 2008, 01:57:43 Or box about 100 tourists into a secluded area and watch them drift towards the bad emotes like "hungry" or "angry" until eventually the game just makes them disappear without adding to your park death count.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Mikero on 4 January 2008, 01:59:56 So essentially it's The Sims with roller coasters. Interesting.
Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: ASR on 4 January 2008, 02:02:43 Not just roller coasters, but every theme park attraction. From the information booth to the restrooms to the restaraunts to the ferris wheels to, of course, the roller coasters.
Looking back, it really is a deep game. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: ChaosVortex on 4 January 2008, 02:11:33 I remember the game well. I loved it. Crashing coasters, earning money, everything. I didn't care about the little goal I was supposed to go for, I just wanted to built my own park.
And yeah, I heard from the game or a manual (something) that when angry tourists propose a problem. When they get ticked off because the park sucks, money issues, or whatever, they break your equipment and generally can make other people mad as well. Solution? Drown them. I'm like Santa, except if you've been naughty, I kill you. ^_^ Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Johncarllos on 4 January 2008, 02:12:50 Santa Claws from Futurama.

Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: Johncarllos on 4 January 2008, 02:31:10 Great show.
Zim's was great too, freaking communist North pole. Title: Re: Some games you may not remember( or ever heard of) Post by: ASR on 4 January 2008, 02:32:13 Where do people get the communism idea from? Never happened.

Star Wars: X-Wing and its follow up, TIE Fighter - simply put, two of the best games of all time. |
