It should come as little surprise to anyone that I love and still enjoy the Avernum games. :P But enough about more modern games, how about dusty old relics from when I was just a wee one?

Like Mail Order Monsters. Design your own monster and have it battle another one. I played this silly thing for hours on end, and haven't found anything quite like it since.

Red Steel.

Plain and simple, that game was hated for no real reason. I loved the atmosphere, and the rather edgy vengeful bent of the story. All kinds of awesome.

Battle for Wesnoth.

Few people I meet have played this excellent strategy game. Could be I've met the wrong people, but still.

Top Gun.

Weird Gamecube game. It felt like a title trying to catch some of the more famous Jet games' afterburners. Still, I enjoyed flying around and doing all manner of crazy stunts with the planes, not related to the mission. XD

Wow, I remember that game on the good old NES.
(I never did actually beat it... yet. >_<)
Never the less, I really liked it. :)

Oh, and now I been reminded that they made a new game for the Wii.
(I am going to have to get that game some time.)

Tron: Evolution (PS3). This game is super underrated. Has awesome multiplayer, too.

I enjoyed Too Human, as flawed as it was. It had a certain level of character that few can appreciate. But what kept me from continuing it, was the fact that they stopped developement of the franchise. Another game I enjoyed was Final Fantasy 9, even if it had the worst game guide in the world.

Not a good game, not a long game, but parkour can be such an interesting mechanic.

Mirror's Edge is better though.

This game got E3 awards. Still underrated.

Man, I remember Final Fantasy 9. :)
though I admit I actually didn't get far at all,
mainly due to an really old PS1 card having memory errors.

Though I now do have access to a another PS1 card,
I'll have to try it out. :mrgreen:

Spectrobes: Origins is also an awesome game. Why it didn't get a special appearance in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance I have no idea (you actually have to play both games like I have to understand). Imagine this game on the Wii U. Just do it.

I got pretty far, and with the help of my mini-gameshark memory card thingamabob, I finished it. I loved that game so much, because it felt as though it took final fantasy to a period that was all but forgotten.
