The Best Video Games You've Never Heard Of

Definitely, they didn't sell enough to the point that Whoopee Camp had to go out of business, but they are both very awesome games, especially the first.

Here's ones I agree with on that site:

NES
Little Nemo Dream Master
Snake Rattle and Roll
Batman
Golgo 13
Mach Rider
Barker Bill's Trick Shooting
To the Earth

Genesis
Rocket Knight Adventures
Knuckles Chaotix
Bonanza Bros.
Disney's Aladdin
Disney's Lion King (somewhat, at least)
Quackshot: Starring Donald Duck
Ristar
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin (somewhat)
Ranger-X
Comix Zone
Gauntlet IV
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (funny thing is, I used to hate it)
Championship Pro-Am

SNES
Cool Spot (based on playing the Genesis port)
Axelay
Wario's Woods
Super Tennis

Saturn
Clockwork Knight

Playstation
Tomba! & Tomba! 2 (this site has good taste..)

GameCube
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
XIII


Which leads me to realize I haven't played a lot of games, though a bunch of games on that list I didn't agree with, such as Ironsword on the NES. And I have tons of poorly-known games that are actually good.

Golgo 13? Really? It's kind of amusing to walk around for a while in it but ... it's still not a "good" game.

[missingno]

I thought it was somewhat good, it's definitely not at the top of the list or anything.

Oh yeah! Little Nemo is a great game (and a great movie!) I still recall it coming out about the same time as SMB3, and I loved it. When are they going to put that on the VC..? They're probably not, but you never know..

Now, what about the game Tiny Toon Adventures on the NES? You started as Buster, and could switch between Dizzy, Plucky or Furball depending on who you picked as your partner at the beginning of each world. If I recall, Plucky could glide (and was the best swimmer), Dizzy could spin, and Furball could climb vertical walls.

That was a fun game, and I kick myself for not getting it.. I could have either saved money for it, or bought SMB2 from a kid that lived in our apartment complex. *sigh*

[Chupperson Weird]

It costs $3 at your local game shop.

[Toad]

Sadly, I don't have a local game shop anymore. They've gone out of business, and there was another one, but they moved, I've no idea where to.

Yeah, I think I've played that. Not anything to stand up and shout about, but not bad for a licensed NES game.

I'm pretty sure I saw Tiny Toon Adventures on that list, but I don't remember. I know I generally enjoyed the ones on the Sega Genesis, and want to play the one on NES. But yes, Little Nemo: The Dream Master is an absolutely awesome game.

Then of course there was Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When it's Dark Outside.

[Mega 2]

I can vouch for "Aladdin" for Genesis and "Wario's Woods" for Super N.E.S. being fun, but I think "Batman" for N.E.S. is just frustrating.  My buddy loved "Quackshot" but I never played it due to my belief that a video game based on a Disney cartoon couldn't possibly be good.  Obviously this was before I was talked into trying "Aladdin."

Has anyone played "Cybernator" or "Demon's Crest?"  Those are said to be great, overlooked games.

[missingno]

Batman is very difficult, but it's still a great game. That's a common element in NES games, challenge. Also, Quackshot is actually fairly good.

[Crazee]

hat's funny is I consider Sonic CD OVERrated. That's the thing with these types of disscussions. Not many people will have a certain game...but then  the ones that have it and love it become fanatic and make it sound better than it is. Then people who never played it go into it with high excpectations and feel dissapointed.I didn't play Sonic CD until the Gems collection, and I found the time travel gimmick annoying and distracting from beating beating the levels the way I'd like to. The music and atmosphere was great, but it doesn't hold up as well as the Genesis games to me.

 As far as games people don't appreciate or know that well...

Legend of the Mystical Ninja(SNES) , Sonic 3D Blast(Saturn version), Ristar(Genesis), Fighters Megamix(Saturn) and Parasite Eve(Playstation).

 I almost want to nominate the Saturn as a system people haven't heard of. lol Obviously people have, but I have to stop myself from just naming gems iff that system like Panzar Dragoon saga, Bug! 1 & 2, Fighting Vipers, etc

[missingno]

Is the Sonic 3D Blast on Saturn differed in any sense from the Genesis port? Also majorly agree with Ristar.
