Phantom 2040 for Genesis/SNES.
A great action platformer based on its namesake cartoon. No one ever seems to talk about it and itnever shows up in any 'best of' lists, despite being better IMO than some of the games that usually appear in those lists.

It's a wrestling game and it's not WWE, so people automatically forget about it, but Showdown: Legends of Wrestling is still my favorite wrestling game in the last decade. The roster itself is over 70 of the greatest wrestlers of the last four decades and the graphics are better than Smackdown vs. Raw and it's an Xbox game.
It has flaws to be sure, but it's fun and you can do matchups you'd never be able to do in THQ's games.
I say no one has heard of it because it was made by Acclaim (one of the last they put out) and as I said isn't WWE, so everyone looked past it but where else could you do a tag match with Sting and Bruno Sammartino vs. Hulk Hogan and Andy Kaufman?

Atelier Iris series' and the Mana Khemia series. Both came out for the PS2 around 2002-2006, both made by GUST and NIS America. Classic turn based JRPG with a great plot and characters, and a focus on item creation. It's good fun, once you get used to Synthesizing
If you mean Medievil as in where you play the dead knight on psone, then yes, that was absolutely brilliant.Infernai said:
Amazing game! Though I wouldn't call it a survival horror as it's instrumental for you to DIE to make real progress.Shade184 said:The Path, by Tale Of Tales, a small indie studio. It's a take on the older translations of Little Red Riding Hood, stories that were much darker than the current versions. A "survival horror" that focuses less on "horror" and and more on deep, dark, disturbing themes. It uses a lot of grapical and aural themes that are quite unknown in most modern games, giving it a truly creepy feel.
Which path will you take? The path of needles, or the path of pins?
OT: He took mine, so Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse. My video game zen.
Glover, I highly doubt anyone's even played this game besides a few people in my internet travels I've only met two people besides me that have heard of it, and only 3 people in reality that have heard of/played it.
Deathrow for the original Xbox. It released before Xbox Live really took off, so it only featured local multiplayer but damn was it fun. I still play it from time to time.
I'd love to see a sequel to it.

That game is fucking amazing.Woodscare said:
I mention it all the time when a best obscure game topic comes up in this forum. Its so criminally underrated and unheard of, it's insane.
One of my favourite JRPG's alongside, Final fantasy 8, Chrono trigger, and Star Ocean the second story.
Oh, I played it. I regret it too. I played until I had to collect the very last key card and quit. I regret that. I can't play it anymore, everytime I try it gives me a stomache ache and I feel depressed.Sassafrass said:
OT:Fugitive hunter. While the controls are absolute shite, aiming is impossible, it is still the only game that allows you to kickbox with Osama bin Laden.
Sure I had a demo disc with Glover on it at one point. I can't for the life of me remember what it was about though, beyond that you were a glove that walked around. I think.Mr.PlanetEater said:
