When I say cult classic, I mean really awesome games that were never really popular and how you heard about them was from the select few people who heard about them.

My favorite Is EARTHBOUND.

Now you Earthbound haters are probably going to say, "Thats not a cult classic, just a crappy game, thats why no one has heard of it." And you're wrong. Would you believe me if I told you, along with EarthBound, Final Fantasy VI (known as III in america) didn't sell well in america? It's true. And that game we all know for sure is awesome. The reason for these games and many other RPGs not selling well is because before Final Fantasy VII was realised in America, America didn't really like RPGs, they weren't very popular among American gamers. I guess FFVII was just enough to get everyone to start likeing RPgs.

I really like Lufia II. Like zalda style puzzles with turn based RPG fights. I don't know if it was popular in other regions but around here it's unheard of.

Pinbot. Pinball at its finest both in the virtual world and the real world.

Earthbound was a critically acclaimed game. Secret of Mana was hyped up and initially sold with a free tshirt. I remember Zombies Ate My Neighbor getting full page ad space in EGM--it was a big release.

Off the top of my head I'm going to say D-Force.

Great game, but was this released for SNES? I've only seen NES copies. -Actraiser is a game I really liked. It combined SimCity-type building scenarios, and had great action-platforming levels. -Hook is one that actually gets put down on a lot. It wasn't anything innovative, sure, but it was a lot of fun to play and had some decent graphics for the SNES. And I loved the movie as a kid. -Marvel Super-Heroes: War of the Gems is arguably the greatest beat-em up ever released on the SNES. But it got overlooked by many gamers due to the fact that when it was released for SNES, a lot of gamers had already moved on to the Sega Saturn or PS1. Awesome graphics, lot's of Marvel characters to choose from (for the time), and it had a wide variety of moves for your characters to use and master that were reminiscent of fighting-game moves. It was done by Capcom, so it's high-quality.

Yes, multiplatform is not a new trend. Although in those days it was harder. but that just created shameless copies, which is also fun.

It was released for both the SNES and Genesis, as well as Sega CD.

That game reminded me to mention Out of This World. Both of those games were fantastic. I liked how there was a real strategy in the firefights of Out of This World. The use of the shield was great.

A cult classic is a game that doesn't sell well but has a big fanbase. DKC sold 8 million copies.

Sorry about that, I read the topic title as NES for some reason. I guess it is time to get the old eyes checked.

Easily Ogre Battle. That game still blows me away. I don't think another game like that will ever be made because its format is not HD friendly, but it had deep gameplay and a great story line.

Great game! One of the best platformers from the 2D era. I played it on my Genesis, though. And there's a version out there for the Master System and Game Gear. -Nate-
