Games you consider Underrated?

Taz-Mania on the genesis. Fun platformer with some decent challenges and simple puzzles, a great one to play with kids.

I love double dungeons. Great game for express as noted. All you have to do is follow one wall and you will get pretty far I noticed. The repetitive backdrop can get you lost immediately. It's great fun anyway.

I'm a huge fan of warios woods which doesn't get much exposure.

Y'know, from seeing screenshots and footage and stuff, Double Dungeons always looked like something I would enjoy. But with everyone saying it sucked I never really went for it I guess.

Well then you ought to pick up Majors copy and let us know what you think!

Tony, it doesn't surprise me a bit that DD isn't your cup of tea. It's not a shooter.

Yes, get it out of my house! It's just a loosey though, in case SmaMan is a collector.

My choice goes to Vanguard Bandits. I love this game, but it seems to always get overlooked by people. Everytime i bring up the game, people just try to mention other "better" SRPG's but honestly, VB is one of my favorite games on the ps1. Here is a site dedicated to VB

This is a great choice.  The game is a lot of fun to play and the amount of control you have over Toad is impressive.  Nobody seems to talk about it much, though =/

I'd like to throw Kemco's Top Gear (SNES) in the mix. Back in the early '90s, I felt it was overshadowed by F-Zero and Super Mario Kart. But surprisingly enough, it has aged well and thus is still very playable today - unlike its Lotus series predecessors on the Commodore Amiga.

What made the game unique for its time were the day-to-night transitions and pit stops, which added some strategic twist depending on what car type you were driving.


This game should be enjoyed with a friend in the cooperative multiplayer split screen mode.

Always liked it. Never beat it though. Enjoyable, but has big flaws like the short range of the kick, and random dinosaurs.

The night/sewer music is orgasmic though.

F-Zero? Here in my country no one cared about this game, it was Top Gear all the way, people often mention to this day that the best Racing game they ever played. Of course people often exaggerate but it was very popular at the time.

Hydlide 3: The Space Memories (Super Hydlide)


also who said Double Dungeons sucked?  Retards?

It's great to hear that Top Gear at least got its well deserved love in some places of the world. Just out of curiosity, where are you located?

Brazil. Two games that got more love here for SNES if I recall correctly: Top Gear and International Superstar Soccer.

Sure I'll take it. I have too much fun with my collection to be called a "collector." That said, especially with PCE games, I do like to have the case, if anything just so it's protected. The other matter is that I have an unmodded PCEngine, not a TG16. Not sure what region yours is for. (I was talking to someone on here about getting it modded, but they suddenly dropped off the face of this forum and stopped replying to my messages.)

Back on topic, I'm gonna throw Starfox Assault for the Gamecube on this list. Everyone pans the crap out of this game, (and really every StarFox game post-64... and you wonder why we haven't gotten any lately) But it's a whole lot of fun. My friends and I stayed up till 4am some nights playing the multiplayer. Good, good times!
