Know a game that almost no one has played? It has to be great. It also has to be one that when mentioned, almost never gets recognized. My game: Policenauts. It is the spiritual successor to Snatcher. It is way more original than snatcher (I do love me some Blade Runner). It gets referenced repeatedly in Metal Gear Solid. It has a killer soundtrack. Fantastic art. And most importantly, for my money, it is Hideo Kojima's best work. Sadly, most gamers seem to not know about it. What are some games that you know are gems that no one knows about. |

Nice! Policenauts is fantastic, I dont think many North American gamers care about it simply cause it wasnt released here, but with the English patch that was released awhile back, I too agree more people should play it. Mines a fairly new game...Killer 7, a Suda51 game that is great. It's kind of an FPS mixed with an on-rails shooter, add in Suda's touch and you've got a game unlike anything you've ever seen before. I think when people mention Grasshopper or Suda51, No More Heroes is usually what comes up first. I really like Killer 7 a lot more though. Another overshadowed game is Alien Hominid, at least during it's release. It's a Metal Slug rip-off in the way it plays, but its got really neat levels and tons of challenge. I know there is an HD re-release but I still dont hear many people talk a whole lot about the game. |

The King's Field series on PS1 & PS2. Well designed action-RPGs played from the first-person view that has a high emphasis on exploration and figuring things out on your own. The fact that it dropped you into this world without telling you nearly any direction to go on, and the slow-plodding gameplay turns off a lot of gamers. But the labyrinth-like dungeons, secrets galore, magic system, and large amounts of loot and armor and weapons to discover kept me hooked. It's like one of my favorite game series of all-time. |

Dark Wizard on Sega CD. I know, it being on Sega CD is reason enough to roll your eyes and it's why so many people never heard of it. It's a tactical RPG most closely like Master of Monsters on the Genesis, where the grid is hexagonal and your leader summons monsters to do battle. You also can hire humans, dwarves, elves, and hobbits. Everything can change class, and depending on what their alignment is they can change into something different (a Lawful Mage promotes into something different than a Chaotic Mage). There's 4 different leaders to choose from, each with their own abilities and available monsters and alignments and special secret characters to recruit. Also the music is amazing. |

Tempo for the 32X is awesome as well, typical 2D platformer but with some of the coolest backgrounds and effects i've ever seen |
