What are some games that the majority of the gaming public has skipped over? These are great games but for whatever reason they remain forgotten. They appear on many platforms, new and old. They can even be whole systems (Dreamcast). What are some of gaming's hidden treasures?

Ps1 critical depth

Anyone remember Twisted Metal World Tour for the PS1? I played that one to death....the co-op mode absolutely rocked!
To this day, I hate myself for ever sellimg it again.

Everything over at popcap games is a hidden treasure.

Do a google search for them, and try out Bejeweled or Bookworm. Extremely engrossing and, the best part, Free!

A Game That Was Seriously Overlooked And Classed As A Pants Games Was The Original Re-Volt Anyone Remeber That? That Game Was Really Fun I Loved Playing It With My Brother But It Was Also Very Flawed (Hence Pants Review) But In My Opinion The Flaws Kinda Made That Game More Fun Than It Should Be!

And K-Bee Twisted Metal World Tour Is An Awsome Game! But That Was Known For Being An Awsome Game Wasnt Really Hidden N If You Dont Already Own It Get Twisted Metal Black For Ps2 Its Even Better!

Gladius for Gamecube (and others)

Metal Arms, Glitch in the System (everything)

Astro Boy: Omega Factor (GBA)

Ikaruga (GCN, rare - look for it used, usually underpriced, can be sold for $30 or $40 online)

Tactics Ogre: the Knights of Lodis (GBA, extremely rare - can go for $80 new online)

Katamari Damacy: (PS2) roll up stuff into a ball and make stars. start with thumbtacks and end up with buildings. a "popular" underdog, it'll disappear soon.

Beyond Good and Evil: (GC, PS2) very high level of polish, good immersion.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA, out of print, as fun as the incredible Castlevania Symphony of the Night. if you own GBA it's a MUST FIND. One of Konami's best)

and #1:

Fallout 2. Best, most well-written, polished and designed game EVER MADE, period. An INSANE amount of work went into it, it's mind-boggling. Every NPC has pages of hilarious dialogue trees yet you never feel bogged down.

Guardian Heroes - Sega Saturn
Alberts Odyssey - Sega Saturn
Link - Nes
Inindo: way of the ninja - Snes
Lufia I - Snes
Legaia II - PS2
Disgaea - PS2

Uni Rally (SNES) - absolute party gem

Master of Magic (C64) - el cheapo RPG/Adventure gem with scorching ambient soundtrack

Legacy of the Ancients (C64) - My fave RPG from an early Electronic Arts

Dai Senrakyu VII (Xbox) - great game, poor graphics, tactical game

But the biggest one overlooked in my opinion is Galleon (Xbox) - great game from the maker of Tomb Raider.

I'd agree with Legaia 2. I love that series and I loved the second game.

Oh man you guys said it. Specially you Hattori. I can't believe how hard it was to find Knights of Lotis. I was lucky to get it right away but all my friends now want it and they can't find it. Disgaea was definitely my favorite game for a long while. Oh man it was funny too! (The prism rangers and mid-boss.) I wouldn't say that the castlevania's for GBA are too hard to find. They just came out with a cartridge that has the first two on it I believe. For the rest I agree as well (gladius and Beyond good and evil.) By the way, what is Ikaruga? I've never heard of that game and it sounds interesting.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Ys: Ark of Napishtim
Valkyrie Profile
Maximo: Ghosts to Glory
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Eternia
Growlanser Generations

Rez. It's the best music game I've ever played. That includes DDR, Guitar Hero, DK Bongo (whatever the title is), Taiko Drum Master and others. It's awesome.

Just for the Xbox....

Chronicles Of Riddick
Panzer Dragoon Orta

etc. etc.

I have to put a word in for Battlezone 1 for the PC. A tremendously strategic first-person/RTS hybrid from Activision where you flew smooth- flying hovertanks over multiple planets battling
other squads of tanks. You built bases, scavengers,tanks,bombers,scouts, gun towers,
walkers all in the heat of battle and could give
individual orders like follow, defend & attack
with a click of the mouse. It had a beautiful
control scheme. Get blown out of your tank, eject and either call one of your squad to
pick you up or SNIPE an enemy tank. Tremendous
depth where no two games ever played the same.
Great sound and graphics with the upgrade patch.
The explosions to this day have not been topped.
A tremendous achievement.
