Okay, I'm aware Recca has some documentation on the net but I am still very surprised more people have not heard of it, its a technical marvel. (Plus it could give some people motion sickness)

its a pretty impressive game, but its nowhere near the level of cohesiveness found in Super Spy Hunter. Seriously, play Super Spy Hunter, even though it has slowdown out the ass, it is downright incredible.

Super Spy Hunter kicks ass, I've beat it few times... I don't have the game anymore :(

My 2 games - complete Trouble Shooter, and complete Sonic Adventure 2 Birthday Pack... many people have them, but not too many I guess.

Super Spy Hunter looks cool, but I don't think it's overly impressive technically. Recca's more impressive technically.

The most impressive NES game is probably Crisis Force - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws5ujH65hfg. I wish I owned that one.

This game looks very familiar... I've played several hundred games on my Famiclones during 14 years, and owned 143 different games at one point... I know I did not own this game...

Every legit Saturn owner knows about Layer Section.;)

*Edit*

Video of Utopia, for anyone that's interested.

I would have to say Ranger-X but I dont know if its rare or not.

That game rocked, I agree.

As I think I mentioned in another thread recently, I enjoyed Rise of the Triad, but nobody else knew what it was.

There's also Hebereke's Popoon for the SNES, which I didn't know existed 'til I saw it in the shop, went "they're those things off that Lemmings level!" and purchased it :)

And... Lucky and Wild, a game I played in the arcade, which nobody ever seems to mention anywhere. (I didn't play many arcade games really - just that, House of the Dead & Day-ee-to-naaaa!)

I loved Lucky an Wild in the arcade. No one ever seems to know that one. I love playing 2 player with one person so you are shooting and driving at the same time. I need to play that one again sometime as its been years. I wish I owned the arcade machine it would be pimp in my kitchen next to the fridge.

Tmee, what is complete trouble shooter? Is it different from the first game or daiginjou?

he means his copy is complete, as in, CIB, in other words, taking the title to mean games you have in a condition or type that no one has rather than a game no one talks about much.

I have Duke Nukem 3D CIB in all its glory. :?

I have a Russian CIB Duke3D too.... but it doesn't really count... who has actually beat the game ? I've managed to do it 2 times now...

Anybody out there have Boomer's Adventure in Asmik Land for the Gameboy?

For that matter, how many of you had the first Bionic Commando for the Gameboy? That game awesome, and yet no one on goddam Ebay has it available.

That is a good one and it was really hard to get when it was released.

I like Mr. Mosquito for PS2. It's an odd little game but it plays well and has a fun theme. Incredible Crisis for PS1 is pretty cool, lots of fun and different mini games all strung together with a really silly but enjoyable story line.

I recently downloaded Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers (MicroProse) From Home of the Underdogs (here's a link). I don't think many people had the game at the time, because they may have been playing via physical cards, but this is the best Magic The Gathering based game. BattleMage and BattleGrounds were doing it wrong (lol old meme), and the DreamCast version was Japanese, and no Weeaboos even touched that one. MicroProse's version was the most amazing card game adaption I ever played.

Rise of the Triad is one of my favourite FPS games ever - however, the game was totally ignored in the wake of Doom and as the developers disbanded shortly after, any chance of a sequel went down the pan with it - as such, the game never really recieved the respect it deserved. RotT was such a unique shooter, you could really tell that the deveopers had just let loose and added in anything they thought was funny or enjoyable to them - this obviousley stemed from the fact that RotT was originally intended to be a sequel to Wolfenstein 3D (hence the precense of the MP44), but when that sequel was canned Apogee and the DIPS (Developers of Incredibe Power) used what they had to make a highly enjoyable FPS that didn't take itself too seriousley - perhaps if it had launched before Doom, it might have recieved more critical success and the respect it deserves.

Also, RotT was the first FPS I played online, and one of the gametypes (Capture the Triad) was the first ever instance of Capture the Flag style gameplay in an online first person shooter, so RotT at least deserves respect for pionering one of FPS's most beloved match types (RotT's also the first FPS game to feature rocket jumps).
