RAMPART. An Atari Games arcade game with strong strategy and puzzle elements. Very difficult in the arcade, and has like 12 home ports, including one as late as the PS3. A lot of Atari arcade games from that era aren't talked much about these days, but with Rampart it feels especially egregious.
I could mention lots of games here. I love lots of overlooked games. I even like Athena, of all things, and I am fully aware of its many flaws.
Sacrifice by Shiny.
I still think it is one of the absolutely best games I ever played. Totally unique gameplay, story and overall feel. The world really sucked me in for a long time.
I think didn't get the love it deserved at all. I would be so excited if it ever got remade or a sequel but it seems unlikely.
Is anyone familiar with American Conquest? That game was excellent! The soundtrack is still stuck in my head.
No one lives forever. Came out around 2000. Was a spy fps that has all the cheese of 60s and 70s bond movies. I remember it being lots of fun. Doubt it would hold up now, but was lots of fun.
It’s hardly ever mentioned in general gaming communities but I have to give a shout out to Squad. Probably my favorite multiplayer shooter ever. The best moments in that game make you feel like you’re in a movie, and the teamwork/communication is unparalleled.
Digital Devil Saga on PS2. It's a favorite, easily outshines other SMT games in narrative, character development, and plot twists.
Yet I bring it up at a wedding reception and I'm the weirdo. Pfft.
Shadow of Rome on the ps2. Still hope for some kind of remake by capcom
How about the flash games of Orisinal? They're a bunch of extremely chill tiny games. With the death of internet Flash they're much harder to play, but one can use Ruffle, which has browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome. (Homestar Runner can be viewed that way too.)
