Great old games that people don't talk about very often

I always thought Bubsy was awesome.
I don't understand all the hate for the game.The game isn't great but it was really funny(at least from the last time i played it).The sequels were bad though, I must admit, But I loved the Original

Please stop hating on bubsy.

From what I remember, Bubsy mostly got flack for the atrocious 3D game that was nearly unplayable.

The Journeyman Project series was pretty good, especially Legacy of Time! For PC, of course.

smurfING JOURNEYMAN that trout was so good!

oh my god, waves of nostalgia coming through this thread.

Wow. I thought about posting Journeyman Project but I really didn't think anyone else had played them. I only ever played Journeyman Project TURBO!, which was TURBO! because it took advantage of the all-new CD-ROM technology at the time. That game was a blast and a half. I miss adventure games like that.

Great fantastic platforming game, made my childhood fantastic.



Scary as smurf when I was little, but I still loved it to death. Sad that it's not mentioned much.



Bless my soul Herc is on a roll ! One of my favourite Playstation games growing up. Oh my feels !



I'm surprised that one of my Uncles let me play this, it was quite graphic by early standards.



Again a childhood Psone classic, though nobody else seems to have played it. It breaks my heart.

I wish there were more Startropics games. Would have been perfect for handhelds.

There's at least one more that I can think of.

It's called Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

I am trying to remember a great little game I used to play, but I cannot remember for the life of me the name or console it was on. D: You were in a tank and it played as a top down overworld sort of thing. ...I remember less than I thought I did. xD

Ah well. If more people talked about it, I'd totes remember what it was. Entirely fits with the thread.

Nah, that's not it. I really have so little memory of this game, I don't think I'll ever find it. I have already went back on the notion that you were definitely in tanks. It was possibly just army men you controlled. I will report back if I ever find it.

What kind of game was it? Action, strategy, puzzle? How did the game play? Story?

[Shauna]

Like I said, I remember so little about it. xD However, I made an educated guess that it was on the Sega Genesis, scrolled through a list of games to appear on the Genesis and then found it.

It was an strategy type game called Cannon Fodder. I am almost 100% certain this is the game I was thinking of, I'm going to acquire a little copy and see if it hits me right in the nostalgia.
