Games you loved that never hit the spotlight.

I'll do my obligatory Xenogears reference, amazing game that many people adored when it came out but just disappeared in the ongoing fangasm of VII fans and the hype of the upcoming VIII. It has a following on the net but the game has never really reached mainstream or critical acclaim (despite getting amazing scores when it was originally released).

Xenogears isn't even remotely obscure. Yeah its fanbase has worn off, but it definitely had time in the spotlight. Although if Xenogears can be mentioned, I should say FFT - what I consider to be the best FF that isn't even on some people's lists just because it has a letter instead of a number in its name.

Actually, I'm also going to throw out Suikoden III. Everybody has S1, S2, and S5 as their top three Suikodens, and S3 is considered one small step above the rather disappointing S4. But I really enjoyed it.

I liked Mega Man Legends a whole lot, could never find a copy of MML2 though.

Oh man, I loved Mega Man Legends! I almost forgot about that one. I never played MML2, though.
