I'm a big fan of Hidden Gems - but it only covers some American consoles, and only the US releases, withsome notable Japanese exceptions.
Only the American sports games!!!
What's Missing?
What console games games were exclusive to your region, or language, and absolutely rocked?
What bit of obscure piece of homebrew, for some 8 bit machine, really sucks you in?
What ZXspectrum, AtariST, Tandy Color game would you tell the world about?
Let me make some noteable mentions...
On the British "Acorn BBC", now available thanks to a recent wiimpathy port of beebem, you find
- Elite - 3D trade/shooter - world's first open universe and pc iterations still being made
- Thrust - addidictive, responsive gameplay
Fans of the ZX spectrum will know Manic Minor - but it is a seminal take on the platformer format filled with wit and humour. Ahem
The Commodore64 port of the arcade game, "Commando" stole half my childhood.
The wii port of achtung wii curve is arguable the best multiplayer homebrew ever made.
There is a really cool bit of wii homebrew, Asprin - a simple game and the collision detection is off, but i just love it.
That is originally homebrew for the TI calculator, but the wii doesn't have an emulator for that.
What is good out there in emulatorland?
