Best Sleepers (games know one knew about)?

I'm gonna start us out with the Tribes Series

This game was probably one of the greatest and most fun FPSs ever made, and it IMO it has always been much better than the UT series. Sadly, this game seems dead now, and I don't think it was that popular back in the day either. It's still my favorite FPS though.

I played Tribes 2. It was pretty good. I definitely don't like the new Tribes though.

Odin Sphere might be a sleeper hit. Maybe.

Nox, it is a fun game.

It's big in Japan I think. And yeah, I didn't like the style of Tribes Vengence at all.

Agreed.

Aliens vs Predator. everyone knows about AVP 2, but never talks about the original.

The Myth series

Blade of Darkness

The Fallout series (people know about, just no here)

i never play sleepers so i dont nogahzoo

Yes, we can all see you ride the bandwagonsjust by looking at your pic. Just kidding...but seriously.

These games are great:

Eets:

SwitchBall: Physics based games like Super Monkey ball

Fatal Fake: Cel Shaded fighting game for PC

Armadillo Run: a contraption like game similar to The Incredible Machines

Got this for $10 at Best Buy a few years ago before anyone had really heard of it... best $10 I've ever spent.

A perfect example of the whole "if it doesn't get a 7 or above t's a bad game" *though it got A at gamerankings* perspective by poser gamers who make up the majority of the gaming community of today it was an awesome game. The games theme is extremly hard to describe as it didn't focus on traditional anything from an RPG in this vain. Think of it's themes originalty as Killer7 *though the game is really nothing like that* and that should give you an idea of how "different" it is. As for gameplay it's just the same. It has the pacing and storytelling of a JRPG, the roleplaying of a WRPG, exploration of a Dungeon Crawler, and the clue finding of an adventure game. It was truely a work of it, it's just too bad not enough people payed attention just because of its score.

Laugh, go ahead laugh, but this game was no IS awesome. You had your own creature to raise and you explored the forests, caves, mansions, etc. while converting people back to your town. You were in an open world and could pretty much go anywhere after a 2 hours into the game. It was truly a fun experience. The only problem with it are 2 things. One that it was way to hard to have your Digimon evolve normally and Two your Digimon died way to fast. If it wasn't for those two things this game would have been one of the greatest titles of the 32/64 bit era. The sequels however reeked of sheer typical franchise crud cash-ins, but the original however still holds up as a great game today.

Big hit in Japan, big failure in North America. This game did what few games like Metroid, Zelda, and Dragon Quest did. It was actually was a 3D version of it's game. Shinobi was the first game to actually to be a 3D side scroller. It had the pacing of a 2D sidescroller, the simple non-boring combat of a 2D sidescroller, then linearity of a 2D sidescroller, the levels of a 2D sidescroller, the difficulty of a 2D sidescroller, and most of all the fun of a 2D sidescroller. The only thing it didn't have of a 2D sidescroller was the non-annoying camera angles. This game was awesome and it seems to me that Panzer_Zwei is the only person I've ever seen in this thread to give it props.

Panzer Bandit

Panzer Front

Giren's Greed: Blood of Zeon

Vib Ribbon

Cosmic Smash

Prikura Daisakusen

Groove on Fight

Riven, which was the sequel to Myst. Well, both of them, actually. Beautiful games back in the day. Does Icewind Dale 2 count? It never seemed to be any where as popular as Baldur's Gate1/2, though it is an excellent RPG. They're the only two I can think of, off the top of my head.

and

It looks pretty good for a 1997 game.

very fun, great slide tackle; for some reason N Korea was rated poorly, but played awesome

You are missing some of the greatest games ever.

Hotel Dusk is easily one of the best DS games made.

I played Tribes 2. It was pretty good. I definitely don't like the new Tribes though.

Odin Sphere is THE greatest game of all-time.

It's big in Japan I think. And yeah, I didn't like the ****of Tribes Vengence at all.

Koalakommander

It only sold around 100,000 copies in Japan *though Japan isn't as big as America time that by 2.5 so see it as 250,000* and around 80,000-90,000 in America.

For the Sega Genesis:

This was Final Fantasy Tactics before Final Fantasy Tactics was.

Outside of the states it's known as Langrisser. Don't know why I bought it, but it was an epic strategy game very few people know about.

:D

hummer700

Agreed, easily.

Ring of Red!!! It was a great stratigy game for the PS2, got good reviews, but just came out of nowere and around the same time as Twisted Metal Black. Sorry no pic, but just don't have the time. Check it out it is great!!!
