That old game you play nobodys heard of

Archive: 16 posts


This is a thread dedicated to old games you play that your convinced nobodys heard of, but you love it!

For me it has to be Legend of Legaia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_legaia

This game, IMO, was a 10/10 RPG. Several love stories, deep intricute ties between antagonist and protaganists. The only downfall was terrible translation, but whats new?

This game soooooo flew under the radar. FF9s huge advertising campaign and just having final fantasy behind it totally slaughtered this RPGs chance at being a trend. Despite flying under the rader, it was mildly successful, and spawned a HORRENDOUS "sequel". Alas, it turns out they sold the IP to some other company.

Thing that sets this apart from your traditional RPG, is the fighting system is like a cross between turn based fights and plan your attack. Hard to explain, but awesome in the end. Check out this video.

YouTube - Legend of Legaia - Caruban Boss Fight

For fight you get either item, magic, attack, or spirit (defense extends combat meter)

when you attack you can either go autopilot or plug your own moves, its worth checking out.

Errr... i dunno haha xD
The closest thing is Shadow Of The Colossus. Now anybody who goes on forums knows the game of course... but none of my friends knew about it until I told them xD
Also... same with Zone Of The Enders. Though it's not really their kind of game anyway. I looooove it Though i got my best mate into it too.
But yeah... nothing else I can really think of lol 0.o

EDIT: WOOPS. Old games. These aren't old xD
Well how about the Master System Sonic games. Everyone knows sonic obviously... but the master system games were AWESOME. They had handgliding levels, and the boss levels had NO rings xD Those were the days.

Well I don't play it anymore but my favourite game that no one's heard of it Kya: Dark Lineage. Was a great action/platformer kind of similar to Beyond Good & Evil in ways, some excellent mini-games and the use of wind as a main gameplay mechanic made for some amazingly fun gameplay.

Watch the trailer:

No seriously, watch it!

That old you play nobodys heard of

You might want to put the word game in the thread title

BTW my favourite game ever is 'Front Mission 3' on PS1. It's a turn based robot game where you pilot wanzers ( walking panzers ) and has two different storylines depending which choice you make in an early conversation.

I have played both scenarios 5 or 6 times each with an average gameplay time of 50-60 hours per game.

I would love to make a version of that in LBP but don't have a clue how.

Blue Force, Tex Murphy... the Tex Murphy series is seriously amazing and I discovered it mostly by accident.

How about Arctic Adventure / Martian Memorandum / Pharaoh's tomb? Those were popular back in their day but are probably unheard of now. Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi? lol I actually liked it.
