Your favourite lesser-known games

I would have to say Lost Kingdoms 2(never played one but two was awesome)

And I doubt anyone has even heard of this game but I loved playing Glover on the N64. I thought it got kinda tiring considering the handling and it was pretty dificult in my opinion but still a fun game and some of the levels just looked beautiful. (mainly the Atlantis levels. Brilliant)

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

That is all.

Evil Genius.

Seriously, look into it. Most personality types on this forum will adore it

Legend of Dragoon - It's a somewhat corny JRPG but it had an original setting and world with a good story. Besides who doesn’t like turning into magical dragon warriors and kicking the shit out of your enemies with magic and swords?

Nexus The Jupiter Incident - This is a rather obscure space combat title that you can now get on steam. If anyone is a fan of Homeworld 2 or just huge fucking space battles in general. Very original setting and plot with some beautiful visuals (the voice acting may make you want to cut yourself at times) but all in all, very underappreciated.

Sins of a Solar Empire - Think Civilization 4 in Real-time + Star Wars = Why the hell have you not got this yet???!!!!! If you’re a fan of Real Time Strategy you must have this for your collection, utterly fantastic game with unparalleled complexity and depth for a RTS. You get to conquer entire solar systems with hundreds of ships at your command and rule the universe. It was kinda breezed over by the gaming community, not sure why, but now is the chance to redeem yourself!

Terranigma? No idea if it is lesser known or not, but if it is, it is my favorite lesser known game.

That is my favorite game of all time. It's not released in America, and never shows up on lists of the best SNES games. Even though I think it deserves a spot in the top 10s or 20s.
Being from Europe, I bought it from a store for about 5 Euros at the time. Not knowing how much it was going to be on eBay years later.

Driver. Almost no one knows what it is. An old computer game, but it will only work on old computers.

Sly Cooper.
Vib Ribbon.

Team buddies for PS1 and Power Stone for Dreamcast. Oh, and Pen Pen Racing, also dreamcast.

TEAM BUDDIES! I loved that game.

Multiplayer was sick. Game was a lot better with cheats though.

Wizardry 8. Best RPG ever made.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who ever talks of it.

It is a horrible game.

OT: Croc:Legend of the Gobbos.

Baw. Well I guess since it's pretty much without comparison, mechanic-wise, it's a game you either love or hate.

Also, Croc is/was freaking epic, and I'd say that you miss the "lesser known" category by a mile since it's pretty much considered a PS1 legend.

But you have to think about the fact that alot of people started gaming after that time.I started gaming when i got my ps1 when i was 4.Bum there are some people that don´t really have any recollection of the ps1 era.

Hearts of Iron 2 too, a fantastic grand strategy game by a small swedish developper, they also made Victoria, which dosen't have a learning curve, but a learning cliff, still awesome once you get it

 

[NeutralMunchHotel]

Lego Island/ Lego Island 2: Brickster's Revenge (yeah, thats right, I know it). Yeah I was about 5 when the first one came out and 8 when the second, but still. It was probably the first game that got me into gaming, and I played it so much and it has many many memories. Too bad neither are that great...

 

[hazakura]

BF:Bad company, One of my favorite games, I'm surprised that its not as popular as I would think.

 

[ohgodalex]

Lost Kingdoms
Django the Solar Boy.
I need both of these right now.

 

[the_unseen]

Tales of Symphonia.

 

[Kailias]

Disgaea series=best SRPGs pretty much ever... and IT SHOULD BE KNOWN BY ALL, DAMMIT.

Also Earthbound and Mother 3. I mean, Smash Bros. makes more people aware of them, but not very many have actually played those two spectacular games.

I saw Sly Cooper up in this thread; those games were awesome. Those and Jak and Daxter (but I guess it's more of a well-known game series).

You have named all the things I wanted to except for one.

Arc the Lad- Twilight of the Spirits. Not quite Disgaea gameply but a better story.

 

[Nerotharis]

I really like Freedom Fighters; the progression style, the squad combat and the story itself all were top notch. I hardly find someone that knows about it though and that makes me a little sad.

My favorite game of all time ^

 

[Gado911]

Halo 3 (just kiding)

But really Second Sight. It was a really fun game and not well known.

 

[Delock]

Legend of the Dragoon. It was a very fun game.

That happens to be one of my favorite games of all times as well. Every RPG I've ever played after that, I've tried hit a button while attacking to do more damage (I know it doesn't do anything but it makes me feel better)

EDIT

Oh, and Tales of Symphonia is a close second.
