Forgotten games that are awesome.

Let's shout out the names of some excellent classic games that time forgot. Who knows, maybe people will start talking about sequels down the road...
Here's some great forgotten no one ever talks about:

Clash at Demonhead (NES)
Karnov (NES)
Legendary Wings (NES)
Blaster Master (NES)

If you can add any to this list, please do. Hopefully it'll spark some cool memories.

First and foremost Shenmue

I would also have to say Panzer Dragoon and Pilot Wings

Trojan

1942

River City Ransom

Super Dodgeball

G.I. Joe

Strider

Street Fighter 2010 (Funny, 2010 is roughly a year away and I gotta say it ain't gonna look anything like that)

Probably a bunch more that I'm missing.

Faxanadu

Wizards and Warriors

Deadly Towers

No games are really forgotten, specially nowadays with the internet and all.

And most of the games that have been mentioned couldn't possibly even be considered as forgotten in the first place.

Psi-Ops is pretty fun. There's something really great about facing a guy hiding behind a crate, picking up the crate with your mind, and throwing it at him. Unfortunately the game gets a little boring near the end. But it's pretty cheap now so if you're looking for a fun action game with a unique twist, check it out.

Freedom Fighters is a great squad based third person shooter that has a simple squad mechanic that makes it easy for people used to "point, shoot, repeat" FPS's to play. The reason I'm so bad at most stradegy games is that they are very complex and slow paced. Freedom Fighters combines fast paced, white knuckle action with thoughtful strategy. I highly recommend people try and buy this game since it's pretty cheap now.

Atari 2600:

Pitfall

I'm unsure about it's popularity among gamers but I'll say Splatterhouse

Oh and Startopia

Iron Sword

Gunsmoke

Elevator Action

Operation Wolf

Panzer_Zwei

Some of them couldn't possibly be considered good :P. And I'd like to argue that there are still some games that are forgotten. Faria was a pretty decent game, but how many people have heard of it? I'm guessing 38 people, including the development team and reviewers :P.

If you make any thread on the internet about what games deserve sequels, you will have a bunch of people mentioning Shenmue. You could also argue that not many people had a Turbo Duo/Mega CD in the first place, but for those people most games on those systems could be considered forgotten then. Which is not the case, and specially those games are some the most popular games on those systems.

Those games are pretty good, even if some of them haven't aged too well. *glares at Panzer Dragoon* (It's still good, it just shows its age.)

I don't follow your logic, but I'll assume it attempts to refute my point. So I'll respond as if it does: I still believe there are good games that people either forgot or just never knew about.

Panzer_Zwei

Eh, I'm sure I could name a few, like Skyblazer, Guardian Heroes (eh, maybe not. The game's become one of those popular/unpopular games), Little Samson, Dragon Quest III (all the love goes to IV), Bucky o'Hare, etc.

I think he meant "forgotten by the gaming community", not "forgotten by their creators".

[QUOTE="Video_Game_King"][QUOTE="Dirty3rdTex"] Well pardon me. Not forgotten but would like to see a sequel none the less.Dirty3rdTex

Again, not forgotten, given the amount of positive reception and sequels. I can play this game all night :P.

Wow. Just click the link in my signature and you'll see thousands of examples...

Most of 'em with pics, once you get past the first few pages...

Well, this game isn't really forgotten ,but I think the dev's forgot some of us like are RPG's without the 6 yr olds running around the game screaming stupidity.

I'd like to see Phantasy Star return to it's roots, and ditch the- Many Morons' Online- gameplay that has taken over the once fabled series

"Enter the Matrix" but got to have the films also to really understand.JReefer1

That's a game best forgotten, or.. better known as the game that sank Shiny. Why david, WHY...

Super Baseball 2020 (SNES)

Pinbot (NES)

Highspeed (NES)

There's a game called Urban Chaos (not to be mistaken with Riot Response) on the PC. I lost the game, but damn was it a solid game. I can't find a copy even now.

(Is it just me or is the linking in GS broken? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.)

Shinobi III. I can't wait for the Ultimate Genesis Collection for PS3 :Dhavokmaster

You might also check out the the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive collection for the PS2 if you don't already have it. You can get it dirt cheap, and it's a good hold over until the oddly named PS3 version comes out.
