Oh god, dark reign.

So awesome.

So was Dark Colony, I think its name was...

Cyberstorm 2, as well.

Swat 4, of course.

Oh yeah, SWAT 4 was pretty good. The AI was a bit stupid though.
"You're in my spot, sir" >.<

But yeah, Dark Reign was sweet for its time. Its one of the first games I mentioned in this thread ^^
Probably the only RTS that I've ever played where you can set the AI behavior and save waypoints.
So fun.

Dark Colony was pretty awesome. Loved the day/night cycle.

Who recognizes the screenshot?

Haha loved that game. It fell in line with the gameplay of Nobunaga's Ambition, RotTK, and Gheghis Khan.

I preferred the Nobunaga version of it.

Oh man, I loved this game...one of the first I ever got on my PS2.

Two of my favorites:

My first Gamecube game (would have gotten SSBM, but the Toys R Us was out). It wasn't a particularly good game, but it was jolly good fun.

Completely agree. I also had it on GameCube, and my brother and I played the crap out of this and Smash Bros Melee. We loved playing the destruction mode and just destroying every building in sight

I wouldn't call the Godzilla games games that no one has played or heard of, though.

I feel old now.
I recognize almost all games on here except the ones on the systems I've never cared to own (Xbox and Nintendo).


Rather old game with a ridiculously complex and engaging plot.


Yet another game from the age of Shareware.
This series's storyline has been remade into a more modern series called Avernum. It's available on Steam yet still rather obscure.


I spent so much time with this game.


More mainstream than the others.

Seeing these names simply mentioned makes my soul feel good. They were such powerful experiences to my young mind. Breakdown had an awesome storyline that still has yet to be trumped (to me anyways) in any action game since, Vexx had levels that just oozed creativity and were genuinely fun to explore, not to mention I always loved any combat that involved gauntlets. Jet set radio was just plain fun and had style out the wazzoo. I've got the soundtrack around here somewhere, and you can still catch me humming sweet soul brother and sneak man from time to time, not to mention aisle 10 by scapegoat wax.

To add to the list, Shenmue.

What about Liberty or Death, the Revolutionary War version?

I have a good one, I loved this game back in the day but no one i know has ever heard of it Shogo: Mobile Armor Division.

I have a question for Dakka, I used to play a game on the PS 1 or at least I think it was ps1. It was a mech game but it was more of an RPG then a sim, all I can remember is it took place mostly in doors rather then outside. I don't know if its true but for some reason I think it had Phoenix in the title. I looked on google but came up empty. Does anyone know what game it might be?

Dai Senryaku

I played the fething gak outa that game, they need more games like that. I even tried to download the newer Japanese versions with no success.

Suikoden is one of my favorite games to date, and very rarely do I find people who have played it!

Wasn't Dark Colony that RTS with humans vs Greys? I loved the sounds in that game.

I never had a chance to play jet set radio, though it did interest me.

Oddly enough... for more recent games... I liked combat arms and apb.

I just hated their playerbase. With fiery passion, and possibly nukes.

Jet Set Radio Future is a cool game. Basically you play as some teenagers with rollerblades in Japan taking on a corrupt government. It has a cool cel-shaded graphical style, so it has aged incredibly well. Some of the characters are slightly irritating, but you can change your character at any time.

Boulder Dash on the NES
A boy and his blob (nes - fricking EVIL game)
Chaos Gate
Dynamite Headdy
Deathtrap Dungeon

Skullgirls.

Seriously guys, go download the demo if you are a fan of ANY fighting game. Unfortunately there isn't a movelist, the AI is set to Hard on "Easy", and Miss Fortune is a pain in the ass, but the characters are originial, the controls are most excellent, and they have a system in the game that makes it impossible for any infinites to form (If a combo uses the same input so many times, it automatically breaks it on you, and starts breaking it earlier if you use the same combo).

The X-COM games (though with the release of the upcoming reboot, they may no longer be eligible for this thread)

I would get it, but I have a PC sadly.
A pity though, cause its right up my alley. Crazy stuff right there.
And I don't even like fighting games that much.

I loved Xcom, that was way back when, I used to get those guided rocket launchers and just have them fly in circles around enemies a good 4-5 times before I let it hit them XD

A true pity. It's fun playing Valentine and poisoning people, and it's fun playing Painwheel using her Hatred Guard.

I've never heard more than a small number of people mention Chromehounds for the 360


The SP was shockingly bad; far too short, linear, and gave you nothing extra for doing it bar some crappy parts, but online was mega. The closest game I had was when I missed my last sniper shot with my last working weapon (smoke from my other weapons obscured my view at the last second) and that cost me the fight. The guy I played and I exchanged a few messages afterwards, noting the smoking, flaming conditions of our respective hounds, and he told me that one more shot to the cockpit would've taken him out; as it stood, he was left chasing me around for a few more mins with a grenade launcher.

Pity there's no plans for a sequel; our squad used to have a guy who was amazing with howitzers and other indirect-fire weapons, and had gotten us out of sticky spots more than once with a pin-point accurate salvo.

Nightfire was okay, but I only ever played it with my brother and he's a very sore loser, so my experience of it might be marred somewhat by the constant whining.

Destroy All Monsters is a game I loved. Best game mode was seeing who could get the most points for wrecking the cities

Mello was awesome.

We used to have each of us playing a different character, having all three of us play at once. It was always Mario, Mello, and Geno.

Damn you Chris, now I want a Chromehounds sequal...

I loved Chaos Gate, and Final Liberation as well.... Oh the memories!

For me though it would be Hellfire on the Megadrive (Genesis). Just the toughest 2D shooter ever, followed closely by Power Strike on the Master System...

I don't.

No one in that game could appreciate a doom buggy painted in the proud colors of the General Lee
