The best games no one has ever heard of. They are out there. Mocking us. I will start by saying the game I own that the least people have heard of is War of the Monsters (PS2). Superb Game.

Yeah, I remember playing that game, years ago. It was pretty cool, it seemed like there weren't very many monsters to fight with though. Still, I might try it again, since its been so long. I'll say "Roadkill" that game is great! Kinda like a GTA/Twisted Metal mix. Also, 187 Ride or Die, it's not awesome or incredible, but its a pretty cool car combat game. Despite, the whole gang/thug style, I liked it.

Dang, I forgot about the #1 under appreciated game...Downhill Domination! That game is incredibly fun! I dunno hardly anybody that's played or heard of that hidden treasure. The sense of speed is really well done (considering its a mountain bike racing game). This game is awesome!

There are tons and tons of old games for the NES and even Super Nintendo that are fantastic games that no one has heard about because people don't care to look back at older games. I won't bother making a list because it is too huge. Just know that they are out there.

Passage and Gravitation are both wonderful indie games that almost no one has heard of. They are both free downloads, quite short, and quite unique. Do youself a favor an go try them (make sure to have the audio on when you play).

Most of Sega Saturn games.... there was a lot of good games for the platform, like Panzer Dragon, Panzer Dragon Saga, Dragon Force, Dragon Force II, Guardian Heroes, Mystaria, Shinning Wisdom and Nights (this one is a little more known due to its Wii remake), but most gamers nowadays did not even heard of them.
I still pray for a Dragon Force Remake or sequel.

You forgot Lunar the Silver Star Story. Well I liked that game. It seems no one has mentioned the Broken Sword Series. The very first one was fun.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 2 was my favorite game on the GBA. Too bad the third one never released over here. :(

Kung Fu Chaos on the original Xbox was an awesome fighting game, still one of the best I've played when it comes to sheer fun with four players. Which is appropriate, seeing as about four people bought it.

Phantom Dust, Lunar 1 and 2, and Dragon Force 2 are all really great games. Ogre Battles March of the Black Queen or it's Playstation remake (I guess that just got on the VC though) and Ogre Battles 64. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment probably hasn't been played by many people, much better than the two new ones, first Persona is getting a remake. Culdcept Saga for the PS2 and the one for the 360. Likely people here have heard of most of these or all but average games almost certainly have not.

The younger gamers really need to play Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Bauldurs Gate 2, Fallout 2, and Planescape Torment so they stop giving so much praise to games like Bioshock and Oblivion.

Blood Will Tell. For some reason, Sega thought it would be a good idea not to promote this excellent game, so it didn't sell. But it is among the best there is in terms of action games. And it had a really cool story too. I wish they'd make a sequel.

I'd have to say either the Halo or MGS, they are pretty unknown. Too bad, too.....they're great games and should be given the attention they deserve. Let's see......oh yea, Tetris, a fun little puzzle game that unfortunately lives in obscurity. I've also heard of this sci-fi adventure game which I'm not sure ofthe name...I think it was known as Super Metroid, and it was on a Nintendo system a long ways back.

But by far the greatest game no one has ever heard of is Super Mario Bros! You'd think a game like that would define and kick off an entire industry. Go figure.

Wow, I never heard of any of those, though they certainly sound like they would be fun games.

But reading your post reminds me of another obscure series whose name I can't remember. I don't know, I hear it deals with these three triangles and the main character is some elf wearing a skirt. Sounds pretty lame though now that I think about it. :|

I was wondering if someone was going to metion this game. The game was not technical marvel graphically, but the weird style and awesome gameplay more than made up for it. It's definitely one of my favorite games on the GameCube.

Oh yea, jeeeeez. How could I forget about that one? It'd qualify if it were only a good game though, so it can't be included here. No wonder no one has ever heard of it before.

Pretty sure people have heard of that one. Wasn't it one of the most downloaded games on the XBLA and all the people that go to Newgrounds.

I'd have to say The Longest Journey, Normality and Stonekeep. They're some of the best games I grew up with. TLJ is a great adventure game with a sequel on the 360. The graphics are pretty bad by today's standards, but the story and puzzle/adventure aspects are amazing!

Fahrenheit was good... in the beginning. It should've been like that through the whole game. I would have to say Grim Fandango.
