Making this thread to find a new game. Hoping to find some of those hidden gems that I may have missed in the years and maybe some Dakkas will benefit from this thread too. Only rules are that you state the system the game is for.

Soul Blazer (SNES, iirc)
Chrono Cross (PS1)
Castlevania (NES)

**Corpsesarefun**

Shouldn't this be in the video games section? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/forums/show/25.page

**ShumaGorath**

King of the monsters 2 (genesis, SNES, neo geo)

Shuma you're my hero.

Annnd, yes it should. My fault.

Spider-Man Maximum Carnage (SNES, probably on other platforms too, but again, not entirely sure.)

**KingCracker**

Lost in Shadow (Wii) Im just hooked on this one, very clever game

**Doctadeth**

Jones in the Fast lane (PC) - Its the game that The Sims was based on.

Battlefield 1942 (PC) - basically what COD is based on. WW2 FPS with vehicles and so on....fun!

**Slarg232**

Secret of Mana (SNES).

I played games before, but that was the RPG that turned me into a Gamer.

Okami (PS2/Wii)
Okamiden (DS)
ICO(PS2)
Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
A Shadows Tale (Wii)

**Lord Scythican**

Not sure if this is topic relevant, but does anyone remember that arcade game from late 80's early 90's? It was a side scroller like Final Fight, but you grabed these orbs that let you turn into different characters like Samurai and Ninjas. It wasn't altered beast.

Yessir, I even have the cartridge (red). But I don't have the box or manual :\.

Also Lord Scythican ... I am not sure. I keep thinking of Mystical Ninja. It had Goemon and a fat guy. I can't recall much from the SNES version. I did enjoy the N64 version, though. That might be what you're looking for. Do you remember anything else from it?

San Fransisco Rush 2049 (N64)

I think I found it after a few hours of searching.

Sengoku

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/sengoku/sengoku.htm

If I remember correctly, you could collect the orbs and change into different characters. I remember it looking better, so it may have been Sengoku 2.

I remember one guy clean cut walking with two katanas. The other character was like a Cowboy, (think Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man). Maybe it hasn't aged well, but I remember it looking a lot better. Darker more gitty. The cowboy was not wearing pink...

My neighbor had that game along with Mario is Missing. If you want to learn some interesting facts about random places while looking for Mario that's the game for you.

Conker's Bad Fur Day(N64), the game that got Nintendo to sever ties with Rare. Don't get the xbox version of the game(Live and Reloaded), Microsoft rushed them and ruined the game.

Army Men Air Combat(N64), Super Conflict(SNES), Firepower2000(SNES) is a great co-op game.

**Melissia**

War Inc on the PC. Good luck finding it though.

Is it any good? It runs like feth on my laptop, so I cant play it. Looks meh.

**Melissia**

Of course it does, it's a DOS game, and anything after windows 98 isn't made to use DOS.

Its graphics aren't what make it special-- it's the game's customization, research, and economy (you run a business thus the name, including owning stock in other businesses) that make it awesome.

**Micromegas**

Body Harvest (N64).

Space Station Silicone Valley(N64)
