PS1 - Toy Story Racer
It's pretty damn impressive. Came late in the PS1's lifecycle when they knew all the tricks and it shows. There's very little texture warping and it's not far behind PS2 & Dreamcast games visually. It seldom gets the praise it deserves because of the Gameboy version which gets all the glory.
Great racer too.



SNES - Metal Marines.

Megadrive - Starflight
This was a port of a computer game (PC and micros). This version vastly improves the game in every respect. It should be put on a pedestal and admired. Look at some video of the megadrive version, then look at any of the other versions... The taste you in your mouth? It is vomit.

Master System - Aztec Adventure

NES - Gunsmoke

PS2 - Aggressive Inline
I've got an idea for a movie.

Dreamcast - Super Runabout

Xbox - Kung Fu Chaos
Game is probably considered too racisist to get a re-release nowdays. It was a fun romp for its day.

GameCube - Mario Sunshine
GC had no games, only good ones were Nintendo's own so there's not much to chose from, and people shit on Sunshine anyway.

C64 - Park Patrol.
As a child I thought it was an arcade port.

yes but the battle system is not my liking, it's like you guessing what enemy will do, kind of "vandal heart" If my memory serves me right.
the game also kind of dated, but has similar vein. but in two, it became some kind of early sandbox after "first chapter" and the combat is manageable than first.

I just tried the first game last night. I'm not really enjoying the battle system.

ps1 warhawk
ps3 WARHAWK

Was gonna go with Warhawk for my PS1 game, but almost every early adopter bought that one alongside Twisted Metal and Wipeout. Such a great game, though.

Fun thread.

Atari 2600 - I agree with OP. Solaris is underrated.

NES - Little Samson - Taito BTFO'd most competitors, including Capcom's Mega Man games, with this game. And barely anyone noticed, it seems.

Genesis/Megadrive - Herzog Zwei - Some say it's the progenitor of RTS games (I disagree). To me, it's just fun.

SNES - Metal Marines - Best strategy game on the system, imho. Really fun multiplayer, too.

PS1 - In The Hunt - Best Shmup on the system, with visuals easily rivalling those of Metal Slug.

Dreamcast - Re-Volt - Fantastic port of the game. And Re-Volt is heavily underrated in general, imho.

PS2 - Lord of the Rings: The Third Age - Final Fantasy X but good.

Xbox - MechAssault 1 and 2 - Not sure if they are "unsung" but I'll name them regardless.

GameCube - Kirby Air Ride - Debatable if it's really "unsung" as well. But fuck it. This is Sakurai's best game on the system.

Xbox 360 - Warhammer 40k: Space Marine - This was underrated for the longest time (maybe still is). I really liked how playing aggressively heals your character. A welcome breath of fresh air after Gears of War established hiding behind cover all the time.

PS3 - Tokyo Jungle - I usually really dislike Roguelikes. But this is one of the very few I really liked.


PS4 and XBO are not interesting enough to discuss.

Loved Re-volt and In the Hunt. Wish In the Hunt played just slightly faster, but I get that wasn't the point.

Never played Metal Marines. Will look it up.

ah yes, that revolt reminds me to good old days in PC

Looney Tunes B-Ball (SNES)
Simple yet ridiculously fun 2 player game that oozes charm and feels great to play. I don't know why this title was so slept on but it's one of my absolute favorite SNES titles.

And In the Hunt is made by the team (or at least some of the people) who were responsible for the Metal Slug games. Yeah, I get that sometimes you want it to go faster, though. Re-Volt is genuinely the best Mario Kart clone ever, imho. I would even rank it above some of the Mario Kart games...
Metal Marines is, in its essence, deceptively simple. It's a phase-based strategy game. But it's quite fast-paced for a game like that, feels almost "arcadey" in a way (in the SNES version at least). I remember seeing the game the first time as a kid over at my friend's house (he got his brother's old SNES). And instantly falling in love with it.

This game is awesome, is like a Looney Tunes NBA Jam pre Space jam. Awesome graphics and Gameplay
And if i remember correctly it is hard AF.
