Guardian's Crusade and Misadventures of Tron Bonne, both for PS1. Tron Bonne was about a chick who has to pay off her uncle's gambling debts so she decides to go into the smuggling business, or some other similar backstory.
Guardian's Crusade, well...that was by far one of my favourite playstation games. You play a knight who meets a little pink baby monster while out adventuring, and you take it upon yourself to return him to his mom. Sound childish? Yeah, maybe a little. But on the course of your journey, you have a run-in with cannibals, save a town from being taken over by a corrupt mayor, and help to take down a cult that's taking over the world. Not quite as childish as it may seem. Also, the baby monster was frigging cute!

Both N64 Goemon games and a weird little platformer called Chameleon Twist, along with its sequel.
I would have said Henry Hatswort or Ogre Battle 64, but I have successfully convinced friends to play both of those.
I've never met another fan of Shadow Hearts: Covenant in real life, although I have occasionally seen it mentioned online, and while I've know plenty of people who started playing Xenosaga, I don't know anyone else who actually finished all three of them.

<color=purple> Well, two of my all-time favorite video games have yet to ensnare any person I know IRL.
<color=purple> The first, Mischief Makers for the 64 was such a wonderful game for me. It took place in a super-odd world and kept giving me interesting bits of gameplay till the end. It was a solid platform/puzzle game with some difficulty to it all wrapped up in a surreal setting. To me as a young child it was almost mesmerizing. And later in life I picked up the game again. Filled with nostalgia and pure fun, I finally completed the game, which I couldn't when I was very young. Such satisfaction. Yet nobody even knows what game I'm talking about. What a shame....
The second game is for Playstation. Tai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger. Maybe its not as good as I remember cause I havent had the chance to replay this one. But I still revere it in the back of my head. I remember many hours of thoroughly enjoying the life of that tiger. I just wanted to go all Jackie Chan Adventures on some less than friendly animals.
I felt so strongly about these games that I resurrected this account that I haven't logged onto in quite a while.
Maybe that's some indication of whether or not you(whomever reads this) should actually take action to find and play these games.

So. Funny story. I wrote a 15-page paper on critical theory using Mabinogi as an example. This month. Lol. I started playing in Open Beta and continued for a year and a half or so.Cpu46 said:

Sub Culture.
It was a space trading game except it was a tiny undersea culture. Graphics were great at the time and decent humor.
Game barely sold though, and I've spent the the past few years trying to find digital copies. I have no idea what the hell's taking GoG so long.

I remember the demo I got in a PC Gamer disk being the first PC game I'd ever played. Ended up buying it on the cheap a few months later, I loved the atmosphere, although the story makes no sense in hindsight.madster11 said:
Tachyon: The Fringe, a space sim from 2000. So far, I've only ever met one person whose even heard of it, not one who has actually played it. A shame, it was a good game. Now all Novalogic do is make more expansions to Delta Force.

Ah yes, the Saga Saturn remake. A unforgiving dungeon crawler where the name of the game is repetition. The point of that game is that you have lost your memory and you must find it. So nothing is told to you at all from the first playthrough and you must replay the game to find out more each time, getting longer each time to complete.
A spoiler free guide can be a lot of help as its trial and error gameplay is a bit much to take.
Back to the topic. I love the Team17 game Superfrog on the Amiga. I cute platform game where you must rescue the princess after the witch has kidnapped her and you where turned into a frog in the possess. With the power of love and Lucozade you have to battle your way through forrests, spooky castles and other horrors to reach the witch's base on the moon. I wish I could spoil the ending for you but I won't. Sadly I have never found anyone else who had played this little jem.
That game was awesome! Never finished it, I remember it being CRAZY long (although that might just be in the same way a little kid remembers the slide being CRAZY high). But it was awesome!Woodsey said:
OT: Knights and Merchants, the first RTS I ever really enjoyed due to it's amazing unit system. You'd line your warriors up into ranks and files and could construct genuine battle-lines to fight the enemy. It gave real meaning to things like flanking, protecting your backline of archers etc.
The economic system I also found great, somewhat reminiscent of the Settlers but with the vastly superior (in my opinion) combat system mentioned above.
Another Century's Episode R is the only game that comes to mind but to be fair it was only released in japan and most of my friends don't import.
