Don't worry friend I loved all the Timesplitters so much I would kill for a HD port of Timesplitters Future Perfect with full multiplayer.
Games that should not have been forgotten.

This series. Don't get your hopes up folks, that 3 in the title was made by fans. The REAL DK3 is canned because FUCK YOU EA!
Paraworld. I still have the disc but I can't get it to work in Windows 7.
It was an RTS game set in a world where there is no electricity, instead you had dinosaurs. and a lot of the characters are based on real life scientists, for example there was an building specialiced hero named Nikolaj Taslow. I really wish there would be a sequel but now the studio that made it is gone.

I don't know if it's been forgotten, maybe by the people who never played it but GIEF MORE:
Gotta agree tough, I want more of that because it was awesome.
One of the first (at least for me) games that allowed more than two player split screen, quite fun aswell from what I can recall.Trololo Punk said:On the original Xbox. I owned a game called Brute Force.
Maybe It was just me at the time. But that game was so good and different. Played well on split screen as well.
Strange, when I installed Pharaoh not that long ago it worked fine, on Windows 7...Blunderboy said:Mother.
Fucking.
Pharaoh!
I recently got this from GoG after suddenly remembering it existed. I'm having issues getting it to work on Windows 7 but I'll keep at it.

Strange. Mine seems to freeze within a few moments of loading a level. Did you get it from GoG?White_Lama said:Strange, when I installed Pharaoh not that long ago it worked fine, on Windows 7...Blunderboy said:Mother.

Afraid not, bought it from some sort of UK based ebay company, 'cause I'm a Swede, don't know if that have something to do with it tough.Blunderboy said:Strange.

That's strange. I'll have to have a poke about tonight. I'm sure I'll get it to work in the end.White_Lama said:Afraid not, bought it from some sort of UK based ebay company, 'cause I'm a Swede, don't know if that have something to do with it tough.Blunderboy said:Strange.

Holy crap someone else remembers Ty, I actually just played the second game again a few days ago.Sean Hollyman said:
OT: The Star Wars Battlefront series shouldn't have been forgotten, both of the games were tons of fun and still hold up today. Why can't Lucas arts just listen to their fans?
Star Fox.
The Wii U is just around the corner and there hasn't been a decent sequel for 7 bloody years. The Wii should have had a Star Fox of it's own instead of getting VC remakes.

I wholeheartedly agree. I freaking loved Sanitarium.Khazoth said:
One of my favorite parts was how everything was always just a little bit off. Even when things were normal, something was wrong.
Oh, and the protagonist gets points for being one of the most bizzare looking main characters ever:
My personal vote:
Blood.
Oh dear God, that game is probably one of my favorite games of all time.
The Build engine wasn't perfect, but it had a lot of fun, quirky shooters on it, like Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, and finally, Blood.
You played as an undead psychotic gunslinger named Caleb who seeks revenge against the dark god that killed him. The art style was very grim, and the weapons were all extremely creative, ranging from flare pistols to voodoo dolls to napalm cannons.
Oh, and it was the first game by Monolith, the creators of F.E.A.R. and Condemned.
Blood II was a mess, though. However, I still hope that Monolith will get around to making a 3rd installment.
Looking on GOG.com every day as I do, I highly doubt that a lot of these have been forgotten, and that's awesome.
Blood, Pharaoh (plus Caesar III and what's the Greek one? Zeus?), available on GOG
I remember playing Future Cop: LAPD as a demo on Mac, never did quite understand it at the time...a demo of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was probably the first PC (another mac demo) game I ever played, along with a lot of Ambrosia software stuff, and later Escape Velocity: Nova (god that was awesome.)
Going off on a tangent, whatever happened to Rockstar's 'Ride to Hell'? Got cancelled or what?
I would also list the Conflict series, but I assume that pretty much died after 'Denied Ops' because it was widely panned, and rightly so.

Ceasar/Pharaoh were good games indeed.
I'll mention Capitalism and its sequel. It's so rare to see good economic sims, but they really nailed it in those 2 games.

There was a game after Pharaoh, which was Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom, based in ancient China and just as addictive as previous installments. Definitely worth a play.

<spoiler=Klonoa>http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fvECXbc4KhY/TXtRVtc4izI/AAAAAAAAAPo/d5cYUu85JrE/s1600/Klonoa.jpgSuch a good game, though it was mostly a cult hit outside Japan.
It got a sequel and a few spinoffs but it needs a revive.
And the Wii remake did not help the cause.
I Loved the sequel as well but just not as much, so no offence to anyone who thinks it's better.
