A not so remembered game that means a lot to you.

Space Station: Silicon Valley for the N64 was an amazing game with a soundtrack I find myself whistling or humming without having played it for years, definitely an underrated game imho

 

LEGEND. OF. LEGAIA.

This is a gem too.

 

Does Lego Rock Raiders/Lego Alpha Team count?

Both PC titles of course.

 

Chrono Cross



I can't fathom why anyone prefers Chrono trigger over this direct sequel, but it's a much better game and story here. And best of all, no Akira Toriyama artwork! (I'm not a fan of his inbred-looking artstyle, where everybody looks like they're from the same genepool.)

This game doesn't get the praise it deserves. The story is fantastic, the music is mind-blowing my good, the fmv sequences are well-rendered for the time, and the characters are unforgettable. A 10/10 RPG for me.

 

Sereamis on the Atari 800 XL
A Text/Graphic Adventure from 1985

My first Experience with an Adventure/Text Parser and it should "influence" my "Game Taste".
Since that Time,Adventures (with Text Input/Point and Click) are my Favorite Type of Game.
I remember I looked on every System I had for Adventures (PlayStation/PSX was great too).

So this Game means a lot to me.
Thank you.

 

Gridder on the C64. The stupid chime before a round started is burnt into my mind, I guess in some special place. It was actually my dad's favourite game.

Then there was this vertical shooter, also in the C64, but to be honest that is a very blurry memory, it has been for a long time. I remember I loved this game, but it was lost and I never could find it again, I don't even remember the name, though I've been trying to remember for years. Some times I believe I compeletely made this game up.

 

The PokePark series on the Wii. The games aren't that great, but exploring a 3d world with Pokemon was always fun.

 

Mmm, for years I played a lot a plane game for MS DOS 2.0 but I can't remember what it was called. It was like Wings Of Fury but older.

Anyone here remembers Magic Carpet? Is a DOS game that was kinda fun but is definitely not a well remembered game.

War Wind? That game had a sequel that killed the franchise but the first one was fun.

 

Dangerous Dave in the haunted mansion, father would ocassionally turn on the win 98 machine to see if it still worked, he (and often me) would play mostly 3 games
-Doom
-Tetris
-the previosly mentioned DDITHM
Doom and Tetris obviously are well known and among the best games of all time, but DDITHM, despite being made by ID, never had too much atention, its not a masterpiece and it can sometimes be unforgiving, only pc speaker music and EGA graphics, but its a fairly solid platformer, wish it got remade or at the very least ported to modern platforms, upside is its fairly easy to emulate, here are some videos

 

CHRONO CROSS
Squire Enix, please port this to new systems! It’s the best game they’ve ever made and they treat it like it doesn’t exist!

 

Chack n' Pop

Crystalis on the NES.
I have played this game since it came out back in the 80's and always play it till the end whenever I run across it (usually every 2 or 3 years). I first played it on the original NES hardware and have played it on PC and almost every console that has a NES emulator.
It was recently added to the NES online app on the Switch and, of course, I played it till the end on there. I highly recommend everyone to check it out as it has aged well and is good fun.

 

IMHO Chrono Cross soundtrack is the best thing Yasunori Mitsuda ever did, and he did plenty good soundtracks.

That said, there was something with chrono cross that didn't work for me, I don't remember what exactly, perhaps it was gameplay or difficulty related. I would love a remake though.

Also, talking about PS1, I think Deception 3 is not well remembered and I enjoyed that game a lot. I also enjoyed Destrega quite a bit.

 

Battalion wars 2, just listen to this

 

Tenchu on PS... it was quite successful but nobody ever mentions it

 

Welp... I was born in '93, by then, my parents had an Atari, a chinese FAMILY COMPUTER with some cartridges, and the SNES.
I remember playing Enduro, I too remember playing Mario Brothers, but that was before kindergarten.
Then I remember getting home from kindergarten and mom would let me play the SNES or the Gameboy.
So to me, both the Atari and FAMILY COMPUTER didn't made a huge impact on me.
But the SNES is different because I played that since I can remember (some weeks ago I was discussing that with mom and older siblings, and we came to the conclusion that I have memories of me being 1 year old)
So go figure how long I've been playing SNES games.

I have some memories about Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, All-Stars, Kirby Super Star, Megaman X, Street Fighter, Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat (funny enough, everytime I remember those days playing Street Fighter, I can't help but add "Light my Fire" by The Doors, alongside Dhalsim's stage)

But I too have memories of me playing Rocky Rodent, Thunder Spirits, Smart Ball, Super Adventure Island, Mickey's Magical Quest, King of Dragons, Madden '95, SuperStar Soccer, and a bunch of chinese clones of japanese games.

Later in my life (probably 10 years ago) I learned that the NTSC SNES can't play out of region games.
But I remember trying many games in japanese, only to trade them/return the cartridge because "it was set in chinese" so I never knew how to play said games.

I probably missed a lot of games thanks to chinese rip-offs.

I don't know why, but Rocky Rodent and Smart Ball memories includes aromas, lighting, feelings... I still have very present those days, to the point where I can recreate some aromas in my mind (and unbelievable smell them once again as I go back in time in my memory)

I can even remember what happened the day before and after those memories...

Brawl Brothers SNES
