I love Spyro XD
It's definitely a forgotten gem though D:

by TatteredTime Wed Jun 01, 2011 8:04 pm

I did enjoy the recent trilogy for it though.

by shotguhn Thu Jun 02, 2011 4:27 pm

the legends was okay, i only played a new beginning for ds, so im in no judging position, but i enjoy the original and heroes tail

by TatteredTime Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:27 pm

I loved Ripto's Rage. Best one definitely.

by **MarioMaster1337** Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:43 pm

Yes, Ripto's Rage is my personal favorite, although my copy broke so I need to get another one.

I know this super obscure game called Minecraft, very rare game to come across. Jay kay lol!

As for a real forgotten game, The Neverhood Chronicles. Its one of my favorite games of all time but you're pretty lucky if you can find it on ebay for under $70

Also, I loved the original Crash Bandicoot games. They're pretty forgotten by now sadly. Sad

by TatteredTime Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:42 pm

That is true. Whatever happened to Sierra Mountain games, no one knows.

Hahaha, I loved those shitty gameboy versions. I remember Silicone Valley had one, and they tried to remake it in 2D to varying and questionable success.
Which reminds me: SILICONE VALLEY. I haven't thought about that for ages, but my god it was awesome.

lol, my friend moogleftw lp'd it and he didnt know about it so he was like "AND IM WILLING TO BET THERES A SHITTY GBA VERSION: and my friend chocobos was like HERE IT IS!!!

I am actually surprised there's not any more gems here (and that I'm the last one to post here) I thought of a MINOR one here, a real gem is Star Wars Battlefront, well known in its time, but wiped from memory now.

Whatever happened to Pikmin?

by shotguhn Tue Jul 05, 2011 5:26 pm

Not so much forgotten, and already said.

Why do people bring up Pikmin as a lost gem? I played the first one, got the second one as soon as it came out and ever since have been waiting patiently for Pikmin 3. And I mean, they remade BOTH games for the WII. Pikmin is very well known commercially near as I can tell.

by shotguhn Tue Jul 05, 2011 9:24 pm

As I said, not so much forgotten, and it was already stated. Seth, whats your opinion on Battlefront?

by Guest Tue Jul 05, 2011 9:33 pm

shotguhn wrote:seth, whats your oppinion on battlefront?

What's not to love? I never really got into it even though my friend and cousin showed it to me on PC long ago. But not too long ago I was hospitalized for like a month. Battlefront on the hospitals PS2 was basically the only entertainment I had to keep me sane. I loved it. So much so I bought the xbox version thinking xbox360 would actually play pre-generation games. Mistake.

I must say I prefer Battlefront 2, but that makes sense for it's like newer and basically the same game with new content...

by TatteredTime Tue Jul 05, 2011 9:57 pm

Actually Pikmin 2 remake made it to every country except America.

by shotguhn Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:49 pm

Seth, my Xbox DOES play pre-generations, the only way I have been playing it like hell for the past 2 weeks, it may have been an older model for you... mines just a little arcade. I love how I used to suck at the game on easy, but now I go on hard and beat the Jedi's K/D (as in, I'd go 50-0 they go 11-1)

You're lucky D: but then again my 360 was just some really old model I got for 50$ from these dudes so it makes sense that it would suck. I mean.. they were selling it 100$ for the xbox, 6 games, and all the Rock Band instruments perfect condition. xD

Psychonauts and Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel Without a Pulse.

by Guest Sun Aug 28, 2011 12:02 pm

A friend of mine LPed Psychonauts. Never heard of it, but it did look like a really cool game.

From the great mind of Tim Schafer.

ETERNAL CHAMPIONS. LET'S GO. Take me to town saying that you remember this.

by Bros Play Wed May 01, 2013 8:00 pm

It can out a few years ago but I think Vanquish was a hidden gem. The gameplay was super fast and fun. Also Lord of the Rings War in the North was a nice linear RPG that came out under the radar. Both of these can now be easily achieved for under $20.
