It came with a free poster which was a totally new idea to me at the time. Games coming with extras like that.

Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball

Sales-wise: FirePro Wrestling for the GameBoy Advance. Sales were very abysmal for FirePro 1 & 2 that Spike stopped sending the portable version of the series to the U.S.

Never heard of this game by Nintendo before until a few months ago when I got a set of NES games as a gift from a friend who wanted to clear out his older gaming collection. This game was included in the set.

I just found out that the main theme was supposed to be in Smash Brothers Brawl as music for the Mario Kart stage but was cut. Gutted it didn't make it in.

Team Buddies.
Still one of my favourites, awesome multiplayer for the ps1. Basically just starting off as a swearing bean shaped guy, then collecting blocks to build more people, Angels, Tanks, Planes, missile launchers, and loads of other random shit to fight with.

Hogs of War

Recently sold off my copy of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker.

I totally loved Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball. Get enough money to have 5 robot Laimbeers on your team and you were golden.

Think I might have to break out a Genesis from store stock and play Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl.

Damn I hate you less Parkmania. Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball is legendary amongst my friends and I. I won the tournament we had in that game, I am such a monster at it. I'm trying to collect every game in the unofficial series of the format (Athletes first and last name)'s (Adjective) (Sport). I have Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball, Mike Ditka's Power Football, and David Robinson's Supreme Court. May have to look into Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl.

I actually had the SNES version of Cannon Fodder but all the videos of the SNES version on YouTube suck.

Pigskin Footbrawl is basically Blood Bowl, if you're familiar with that board game. It's only on the Genesis according to gamefaqs.com.

Depending on how loose you want to make that format, I know there's Prime Time NFL Starring Deion Sanders, Coach K College Basketball, and Joe Montana Sports Talk Football for the Genesis; Bill Walsh College Football on SNES, Genesis and Sega CD (the '95 version is only for Genesis); Al Unser Turbo Racing and John Elway's Quarterback for the NES; Emmitt Smith Football for the SNES, and a bunch of different Ken Griffey Jr. baseball games.

Also, everyone knows about Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl, but I didn't know until recently that there was a Tecmo Super NBA Basketball.

I used to have World Series Baseball for the 32X.

Absolutely loved Cannon Fodder when I had an Amiga.

I used to have this game for the Amiga called Superfrog, was developed by Team 17 and had was about this Frog with... Powers I guess? You had to save a princess and to regain your health you drank Lucozade. I think it was fairly popular when it came out but with it being an Amiga game I'm not to sure and it generally draws blank looks.

Another one is Zool, which was out on a few platforms but again draws blank looks today.

I was looking for video of a few ZX Spectrum games and I came across this site: http://www.zxspectrum.net/

It has a whole bunch of games from the ZX. I played Top Cat for the first time in about 18 years. Brings back memories.
The only real problem with the site is the ingame controls. The controls are all unexplained for the most part and the first few minutes of a game are spent trying to figure them out.

Dunno if anyone else here ever played or heard of it, but I used to have Zoom! for the Genesis...it was kind of like an evolved version of Q*Bert in that it had a variety of enemies, and you raced around on these oddly shaped mazes with all these little tiles, and you had to race around and claim all the tiles on a board to advance to the next, and there were also a bunch of power-ups and the like.

Superfrog was an amazing game for the Amiga. You had to collect all the gold coins on a level and then have to find the exit. Great game. Zool was good as well.

Anyone ever play Lemmings 2, its the best game I have ever played.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._2_box_art.jpg

NES Disney's Adventures in the Magic Kingdom

Scary thing to recognize is that the developers of Lemmings eventually changed their name into Rockstar Games and developed GTA.

I was wondering if that was the case, since down in the lower-right corner, you can see "DMA Design". That still has to be one of the most mysterious/ridiculous game publisher acronyms ever (Doesn't Mean Anything). And they actually developed not only the original GTA, but also GTA II and GTA III, as it wasn't until the time between GTA III and GTA: Vice City that DMA Design actually became a part of Rockstar North.

tiger-heli.

loved it

I don't know either, but I knew it seemed to ridiculous to be true, and up until your clarification just now, I had always assumed it was...

:heart:ed those two.

I think everyone who played video games back when that came out knew about it, what with the lesbians and all.

The Fifth Element on the PSX, it was NOT super green. Chicken good.

Kula World looks like a mix between Super Monkey Ball and Glover to me.

There's another one, actually, Glover (wrestling fans will know of it even if they never played it, lol):

I had the US import. Loved the game so much and I wish I still had it. If only it was released for XBLA. The European version had a sucky intro song. I much prefered the American intro song in the video.

Skullmonkeys was another excellent PS1 game. I hear they are making a claymation movie.

Best game of the 5 in the series. Can't wait until March for the new DS game in the franchise. You'll be able to make creatures by scribbling and blowing into the mic.

Also this game called "Cat Trap" for the N64 which I can't even find a pic too

For some reason Roadsters reminded me of this one:

I love this game.

SPEED HOME CALIFORNIA

Glover is great. Really hard though. Also used to play Road Rash on Genesis and PS1. Not Road Rash 3D though. Sidney Bassoon

Kung Fu Heroes on NES

Psi-ops on PS2 is pretty obscure I think, but was so awesome.

Thrill Kill on PS1

Thrill Kill never got an official release. It's only playable with a pirated Beta and a modded PS1. Bitch.

http://www.paylessgames.com/catalogi...dEvil_full.JPG

loved that game

http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Psycho...onauts_box.jpg

Anybody who's a Road Rash fan and has a PS2 should look for Downhill Domination. It's a spiritual successor to RR in terms of gameplay, except with BMX bikes instead of motorcycles. Great level design, fantastic sense of speed and size.

Sled Storm for the PS1 is similar, but I don't think that's as obscure.

Pain in the ass, but still one of my favorite games ever.

I remember playing this game as Haggar from Final Fight

Best game nobody's heard of.

I keep hearing rumors that a sequel is under development.

Fireshark is like the most badass thing ever.

I used to play Gauntlet Legends a lot on 64, but I think that some of you have heard of that

The advice that pops up in Gauntlet Legends makes great away messages.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...s_Coverart.png
The one Gauntlet game nobody should ever play. "Sorrow" is all you'll experience at it's horribleness if you do. :n: The story is awful, and they gutted just about everything from the previous iteration in the series, Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, which I found by far to be the best of the 3 titles since the N64 era.

Its more known now than when the game 1st came out due to IGN pleading with people to buy the game and it making top 20/25 lists for the Gamecube.

Fun fact : Nintendo owns the patent for this type of sanity effect so if Silicon Knights wanted to make a sequel on other systems, it can't be used unless its on a Nintendo console.

I had that back in the late 90's :D

I don't get why it never came out, it wasn't even that violent. :eek:


And uh... I had Sega Master System way back in the day before SNES... a lot of the games were pretty unknown, weren't they?

What about cybernator for SNES? That rocked.

http://www.snesbrasil.com/wp-content...atorboxart.jpg

I had Courier Crisis, Sillicon Valley, Road Rash 3D and Eternal Darkness. Courier Crisis was pretty bland, to be honest. The rest ranged from good to excellent.

Yeah, there is. I'm not following it but I saw a clip of a teaser trailer a while back.

There is probably newer trailers somewhere.

Battle Cars for the SNES, it is a pretty cool racing combat game.

So it'll be Monster Rancher crossed with Scribblenauts? That sounds amazing.

Two games I have never and will never be able to beat
