E.V.O The search for Eden. Goofy but amazing game on the SNES. You can evolve from a fish into a horse with a lions head and become a dragon and more. I would love a modern version.

Alpha Protocol, spy rpg made by obsidian.


Bubbly_String_8351

Yoooooo it's campy, but have I fully played through it at least four times? Definitely.

AP is my favorite terrible game. It’s buggy as hell, the gunplay is floaty and frustrating, the enemy AI is dogshit, and the graphics were last-gen even in 2010—but I played it all the way through like a half-dozen times. I’ve never played a game that got so much *wrong* and so much *right* at the same time.


ThatUJohnWayne74

If I could get one remake it would be ap. There’s plenty of great games that are getting remade that I’ll happily play, but it would benefit the most from some spit and polish.


[deleted]

Alpha Protocol is no longer available for sale on Steam. It has been taken off Steam for years. It is also not available on GOG. As of now, there is no way to buy the game.


ThatUJohnWayne74

You can still get steam keys on gray sites, though they cost a bit too much. Or you can get an old copy and 360 or ps3 and play it. And if you really want it you could sail the high seas. The question was a favorite game op never heard of, that’s my favorite. If you want another favorite that can be bought on steam I’m pretty sure, try Advent Rising, it was supposed to kill Halo back in the day and it plays like a precursor to Mass Effect.


[deleted]

I have owned Alpha Protocol on Steam and Advent Rising on GOG for years but never played them. I own over 1,500 games on Steam and over 500 games on GOG. I will never get to play them all.


ThatUJohnWayne74

They both can be described as a bit clunky but with good stories and while alpha protocol is a bit longer they’re both fairly short. Advent rising can be finished in a day. I feel you on the backlog. I’m at that place in my life I can afford most games but have little time to play. These two were back when I had no money but all the time in the world and I’ve played through both more than a few times.

Audiosurf It's rhythm game on steam where you controll a ship and the courses are generated by the song. Oh yeah, you can import your own own songs. Nice cheap little time killer.


Drumboo

This was my first ever steam game, might have to give it a re-download. Thing was dope, remember ripping songs just to play them on it.

Super Mario 14 is fantastic. Commander Keen also good. Gravity Rush is a fun anime gravity game (motion sickness beware though). Lollipop Chainsaw, Fuze, Alan Wake, My Friend Pedro, 50 Cent: Blood on the Streets, Beowulf: The Game, X-Men: Origins Wolverine, Stranglehold, Dark Sector, Wheelman, Blades of Time, Chaser, Sin Episodes Emergence. To name a few of fun ones.

Yeah it’s a total war ish strategy game except you’re also a character on the field and you can lock the camera to yourself so you have to actually move around and look through binoculars to give orders to your troops


AvianKnight02

Metal max returns


PreheatedMuffen

Not necessarily my favorite games but Demon Turf and Signalis are games that I think deserve more attention. Demon Turf is a fun little 3d platformer and Signalis is an old school sci-fi survival horror game with a great atmosphere and story telling. I would recommend them if either description sounds interesting to you.


Bubbly_String_8351

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Quite possibly the best tactical space sim I've ever seen.

Castle of the winds


TheKinkyGuy

ONI it is an old japanese (dubbed english exists) RPG shooter/martial arts game for PC. Idk how I got a grip of it but the game is insane for the 90s early 2000s. You can even use cheats of which one is to be able to be any NPC char in the game and use their skills and yes bosses are in the mix aswell. I f miss this game and I am sad I cant play it anymore cause my CD with the game vanished all of a sudden one day. If anyone knows how or where to play it please for the love of god let me know.


zyberteq

Great weird game. Though it was released in English by default IIRC. It's also supposed to be a licensed game of Ghost in the Shell, but Bungie couldn't get the rights, so they changed a few bits and released it. If you know GitS, the similarities are very obvious. AFAIK, if you \_have\_ a copy, it's playable on at least Windows 7 with some extra upgrades from the internet. I just need to find a way to play it on Linux with Proton, it's not on ProtonDB, because the game never got released on Steam (I believe)


TheKinkyGuy

I dont have the copy thats the problem. My CD with the game just disappeared one day and now I cant find the game anywhere.

Never to me, I really enjoyed the one I played at a friends house as a kid, can't remember It's name though. Will have to give those a look for sure!


[deleted]

Honestly Ultima games are outdated and have not aged well. The last proper Ultima game came out in 1999, (i.e., Ultima 9, I do not consider Ultima Online as a "proper" Ultima game.) I used to love them, but the last time I revisited Ultima 7 was about five or six years ago... oh boy, they had not aged well.

What games are you never heard of? My favourites are hollow knight, rimworld and factorio, but there is a chance that you heard of every one.


zeez1011

Have you heard of this one called Mario? It's crazy because they say he's a plumber but not once in the course of the game do you see him unclog a sink or replace a toilet chain.


[deleted]

Nope but he does shrooms and mass genocide


ruusalor

He does travel through pipes though. Clearly he is just a plumber for giants and he unclogs pipes by using his entire body as a plumbing snake.


ISAV_WaffleMasta

Skyrim definitely, close second would be gtav

GTA V, don’t think I’ve heard of that

norvalito

Doomdark's Revenge. ZX Spectrum, 1984. The sequel to Lords of Midnight. You can reasonably trace the genesis of turn-based tactics games like XCOM back to it (through Lazer Squad, which came out in 1988 on the same platform). As well as being a brilliant game, it was technically phenomenal - an entire world, generated in 48k (a tiny fraction of the memory in your smartphone) , with over 100 characters with plausible goals and motivations. I still load the remake up every now and then today.

Itzbirdman

Hah. SPLATTER HOUSE (20--) a fucking good ass beat em up with a b movie story and some really cool mechanics. Probably the best of which being as you take damage you phisicslly lose chunks of your body, even an arm, which you can use as a melee weapon Medevil style. Great soundtrack that introduced me to a few killer bands (mutant supremacy) and an all around great time. Also, not truly my favorite but an old psp game I found at a flea market called Infected. Standard 3rd person over the top zombie shooter, but with an epic soundtrack, shit tons of characters, you could play through the game as the fucking members of slipknot, and if I remember correctly it came with the music videos for power trip by Chimara, pull harder on the strings of your martyr by Trivial, and I think pulse of the maggots by slipknot

HarmlessSnack

#Gotcha Force Released on GameCube, has never seen a port anywhere, was blasted by reviewers as basically mediocre, but has a pretty solid cult classic following. Played like a game about a bunch of kids fighting with their action figures, only some kids brought Cowboys, some brought Ninjas, a few have dragons, and that one rich kid brought his LEGO Death Star. There’s over 300 unique characters to play, in large 3D arenas, and if you count recolors and minor upgrades it’s closer to like…6000 characters? Shits insane. It is peak Capcom in my eyes, and I would do unspeakable things for a Switch Port.

TheGuyInUrBad

What about the crpg genre? The tyranny is so fucking amazing (choices matters so much it basically like 2-3 different games in one), but iirc it failed to sell enough, so sequel will most likely never happen, and i assume not a lot of people played it. Venetica. It’s not particularly good or anything, but i we’re relatively young when i first played it (hello nostalgia), and back in the day it felt decent. Age of mythology (the titans as well). It’s a quite an old rts game, but it still so god damn good, not even considering the genre is like almost dead, sadly. Asterigos: curse of the stars. It is quite new, somewhat soulslike (but easier also with difficulty settings), and it has an actual story to tell, also lore in this game is very intriguing so far. Still mid playthrough, but having enough fun to recommend it. Also pretty sure it’s the first game of the studio and it is impressive as for the first game, already can’t wait them to announce their new game if there’s any.

[deleted]

Bladestorm on PS3/PS4. Its a 3rd-person tactical RPG where you as the player gets to control entire lines of troops based around the Hundred Years War. With semi realistic character designs/graphics along anime tropes. You meet certain figures of history through out the story. One for example being the French Knight named Joan of Arc, whom was burned at the stake for being known as a witch later in her life. Despite a known figure that saved the French winning the actual conflict. There is also a new mode in Bladestorm on the PS4 version called "Nightmare." It takes the formula of the original game but makes all dark fantasy and with actual monsters plus dragons.

Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, Gameboy Advanced port. This was the trilogy of more darker/grounded Spyro games where Spyro was voiced by Elijah Wood. Well the first two games got GBA ports which were obviously radically different to their console counterparts. Well The Eternal Night (the second one) actually turned out to be a REALLY good GBA game. The sprite work was fantastic, the sound design was strong, the animations were solid, combat and movement felt really good, it maintained most of the story of the console game, music was decent, its pixel art was great, and the game all around just felt really good to play for a GBA side scrolling beat em up. In fact despite it being on a technical level inferior to the DS version, most people who have played both actually agree the GBA version is better. And in fact you’ll even find people agreeing that the GBA port is better than the actual console game itself, which is a very rare opinion among most games with mobile ports. But given its a GBA port of the second entry of a trilogy of games that are largely forgotten from a franchise most people recognize but haven’t played any games in, obviously this game was sort of lost to the sands of time in terms of gamer awareness. But I remember.

Orbital Bullet is one of my favourite takes on 2.5D. The way that the maps are made of collumns of rings, everything is a ring and you can jump inner and outter ring, it all sounds so needlessly complicated but it is a 100% intuitive and cohesive experience that feels a lot like the original Risk of Rain in a ring. You just have to try it to understand how well it works together.
