7 Forgotten Games We Still Think About at Night

[@outsidextra]

Does anyone else remember these forgotten games, or did we simply dream them?? Are there any games you're pretty sure only you remember? Let us know what they are in the comments! And hey, maybe you'll meet a fellow fan of that one game 🤯 Enjoy!

Drawn To Life and Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter for DS. Nobody remembers these games.

[@krisrussell3480]

There are several, including classic-era Phantasy Star. But if I had to pick one forgotten gem that I still fondly remember my play experience with, one that comes to mind is Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side on Sega CD. Some may be familiar with the original game on the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive. Now take that same game, tack on some additional characters, give it a better kick-ass soundtrack, and REALLY up the violence. How creative this game got with its fatality cinematics would have made Genesis-era Mortal Kombat swoon.

Second Sight cannot be mentioned without talking about Psi-Ops. And vice versa. Both of those games were so amazing at the time.

[@4rkain3]

I had that terrible Dinosaurs GBA game that was a movie tie-in and had that exact thought a LOT. But I found out a few years ago that no, it’s just a terrible game with awful controls and is pretty broken and buggy. Lmao.

And at some point it turned into "maybe I'm too old to play this game"… ;-)

[@anierikidemona]

​@ genuinely though. There's no golden age, either you feel to young because of a perceived lack of intelligence/understanding or you feel too old because your eyesight and reflexes are starting to dip. As well there's not a between zone, because it's a sliding scale for both that's unique to everyone. Puzzles in action games are probably a nightmare for designers due to this.

[@samplexample]

The perceived complexity of tasks dissipates as you get older ie more experienced, more intelligent, more jaded. I remember thinking DK64 was really big and complex, today I see it’s actually pretty simple. I used to think Legendary difficulty on Halo was near-impossible, but as a patient, thoughtful, coordinated adult, it’s a relatively easy challenge, as far as Halo goes.

Ken: “Hey Barbie, wanna go to the prom?” Barbie: “Sure, sounds like fun!” Ken: “Great, see you in 1 hour.” Yet more proof that Barbie leads to unrealistic expectations.

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

[@seanromine3932]

I was thinking the whole time about the jontron episode where he played that same game. Dressed up and suddenly Ken wants to do something else, the whole time that 1 hour never comes and barbie is just eternally talking to nobody on the phone preparing for a date that will never come, repressing the memory of how he died in a car crash on the way to pick her up and now she drives herself instead. Or she killed him and took his car. Painted it in nail polish and what's left of him is inside her fridge that I don't think you ever see open. Google that.

I remember playing a lot this game called "Lego Island 2". It was basically the story of this Lego guy who lived on an island and worked at his parents' pizzeria. One day, some bad guy came and destroyed all the houses on the island, and spread all the bricks across different dimensions, and unleashed random robots. He also kidnapped the pizza guy's parents because,... why not? So the pizza guy has to go in these dimensions with dinosaurs and deserts and stuff to find the bricks. The final stage was on the planet Ogel, where there was the bad guy's lair and the parents were held prisoners. You defeated him, and then everything gets back to normal. Saying it out loud sound even crazier that it was, but I remember it being a lot of fun. It had a good gameplay, some very entertaining sidequests (except the one where you had to fish at an oasis, that one was extremely tedious), and a lot of satisfying little details: for example, your could throw infinite pizzas at people and change some elements of the background just by pressing a button. The only big downside was that the loading times took absolutely AGES. But it was worth it.

I think one of my favorites was the I Spy Treasure Hunt on Dos. It was pretty chill, you’d explore this town with pirate history, find hidden objects to earn map pieces to lead you to treasure.

Still loved it anyway and I recently managed to snap it up, lovely nostalgia trip

[@torih-w9020]

[@gigaflynn_]

Dino Crisis! That game was great, PS1 era puzzle solver, 3D models and fixed camera, Dinosaurs, very limited ammo, and they could chase you from room to room, smashing through furniture and breaking windows! Those events were conditionally scripted, of course, but it was mind blowing for the time. Fights were expensive on your precious ammo, so you tried to find clever ways to improvise, avoiding fights, crawling through ducts, making poison and sleep darts out of medical supplies. It also had modable weapons with multiple ammo types. You also didn't have a health bar, (I guess it was hidden) but if you were hurt your aim and running were affected and you could bleed, and if you couldn't find actual healing items you could use painkillers to temporarily cover up the wound effects. A think a lot of it was cloned from Resident Evil, but I didn't have RE, I had Dino Crisis, and it was great. It got a GreyStation sequel that was much more of a run and gun horde game, with a lot less puzzle solving. It was ok, but very different from what made the first game great. It had another sequel on PS2 which unfortunately was terrible and killed the franchise.

The Saboteur. I used to adore that game. It was essentially a GTA-style open world game, only it was set in Nazi-occupied Paris during World War 2. Your goal was to help liberate the city from them. It had a beautifully atmospheric style to it, where the Nazi controlled parts of town were all in black and white, except for the harsh, bright red of the Nazi symbols. It felt moody and oppressive, and felt like you were in an old film-noir movie. You had to disrupt the Nazis hold on each district by destroying their outposts, tanks and fortifications etc dotted all across town. When you had done enough in that district to free it, all the colour would return to that part of the city, and it became a vibrant place again. As you progressed through the game, more and more of the city would become colour, where the still-oppressed areas would be in black and white. It was really cool and gave the city a really interesting vibe. I still remember passing through a Nazi checkpoint with fake papers to enter a Nazi-controlled area and it all suddenly going dark and bleak and smokey. Very atmospheric! There were loads of other cool touches too like all the old cars and tanks you could collect and the period-correct music they played, old school circuit racing, free-running and climbing mechanics so you could take to the rooftops, hell, you could actually climb the Eiffel Tower and, if you were brave enough, you could jump off the top into a tiny lake below that would break your fall. You even got to drive to a small part of Germany (and possibly Holland too I think?) Also, the edges of the map were "No Mans Land", where the 'actual' war was happening, so if you went too far outside the boundaries of the map you'd get mowed down by Spitfires or landmines. It was a cool way of not having invisible walls. Sadly I think this game was rushed out the door as the developer behind it was going out of business, and in some ways, it showed. It seemed like they were going to put a lot more stuff in it, and probably DLCs too, but they couldn't as the company went under. It was still an awesome game though, but sadly, one we might never see a sequel to.

[@DarthK3v]

It was made by Pandemic, and they didn’t go under, EA bought them and shut them down. Yet another reason to despise EA. But yes, a very fun game with not nearly enough recognition.

[@Ckoz2829]

Peter Badger The Saboteur was a ton of fun! It was like GTA, but it cut out all the extra fluff in favor of bombastic action, beautiful environments, solid missions, etc. If you Liked The Saboteur, you should try Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. It was made by the same company was like a predecessor The Saboteur. It takes place in North Korea and you play as one of three Mercenaries that are tasked with taking down the dictator’s war machine or “deck of 52”, which are 52 bounties starting from the bottom and working your way all the way up to the Ace of Spades himself. There’s a plethora of weapons to choose from, vehicles like humvees, tanks, helicopters, but the best part of the whole game is ordering up an air strike from the Russian black market and raining artillery down on your enemies. The game plays similar to the Saboteur and you get more money by taking in bounties alive and it’s backwards compatible on Xbox One and PS3 and probably dirt cheap these days, so check it out. I played it last summer and it’s still a crazy fun time! The Sequel really expands on the first game, but it’s been a very long time since I’ve played it and I can’t tell you if it holds up today, but when I played it back in 2008, I thought it was the coolest game. There was DLC where you can play as Barack Obama and Sarah Palin.

Quackshot was definitely a large part of my childhood! Another Megadrive favourite was ‘Haunting’ where you play as a poltergeist trying to scare a family out of several houses by possessing various objects in the rooms and there were entertaining animations when the family members encountered the haunted areas. But the two mid-90s games I never hear mentioned, yet long to be remade, are Little Big Adventure 1&2.

[@kathyjoy5618]

There's one game I never see mentioned anywhere - not on lists or 'games you've never heard of' or retro reviews or anything and that's Jet Force Gemini. It was an amazing sci-fi shooter. You had the option of playing between 3 characters (one of which was a dog in a tank that could also fly) and you had to save these aliens (who looked like Ewoks if Ewoks were koala bears) from this army of bug-aliens. You could replay different levels because different characters could access different things due to each one having a unique ability (like the dog being able to fly), and there were multiple missions, and the boss fights really slapped. Plus it had a killer theme song. And I'm pretty sure it was made by Rare. Yet no one I ever speak to has ever heard of it or played it and if it wasn't for the fact that I still own the cartridge in it's the original box I'd start to think I imagined the whole thing -_-

For me it's "No One Lives Forever". It was a humorous take on British spy films complete with all the wacky spy gadgets and over the top villains.

NOLF is even older than Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. NOLF2 actually released the same year it released and was a far better game. Such a lost treasure.

I've been saying it for years, NOLF and NOLF 2 have *the* best NPC dialogue, like winding up a co-worker by telling him the Superspy is a 14 year old in a bath-towel because he missed the morning briefing, the problems of hanging art on orange painted walls or why someone likes Edith Piaf, to the problems of making artificial lava either look realistic or cool, why a very minor criminal organisation gets so much press because they have a Sci-fi gothic castle as a lair or the difficulties of promotion when you've been turned into a cube by your boss. Plus the music was totally on point, the humour was great _and_ a strong female protagonist. Kate Archer deserves to be as well known as Lara Croft, but alas, 'tis not the case. Plus we never did find out what H.A.R. M. stood for...

[Caution: VERY LONG] MySims Agents for the wii. Does anyone remember the MySims series? They were a subseries of the sims, except for kids, and not at all the sims. Every game had a different focus. MySims Racing (another good one(at least the wii version was great)) was a racing game, there was a planes one, there was a whole bunch of them. And every game has the same characters, which I liked for some reason. But anyways, MySims AGENTS. This one was about secret agents and detectives and stuff, which I LOVE. You got a whole bunch of gadgets and stuff to solve puzzles, there were little puzzle mini games that I didn’t like as much but were fun all the same, it was great. And you could decorate your secret agent headquarters with different wallpapers and different characters that would hang around on the different floors, and adding little things to interact with, unlocking the characters and items the more you played. You could also customize your character, although I mainly just made a character at the beginning and stuck with it the whole time I played anytime I started a new run. And there was an actually good story to it as well, like if I look back on it now it still holds up. As far as graphics go, it was early to late 2000s, so they weren’t the best, but since they were for kids they made the graphics blocky and cartoony on purpose, making that not as obviously bad. If you watch game grumps, I had a relationship with this game like Dan Avidan did with the Sierra games when he was a kid. It fucking ruled, and I think I still have my copy, so I’m gonna see if I am get that up and going, since talking about it made me want to. If I can’t, I will be sad and shall blame OXtra.

Bushido blade, one of my favorite fighting games from my childhood on the ps1. You play as a disciple of this group before the character you picked realizes it's being lead by an evil and dishonorable figure. You battle the rest of your colleagues in honorable combat, trying first to convince them of the truth, before striking them down. You actually can't get to the real ending if you dont fight your compatriots honorably, which is really neat considering this was ps1. The hp was hidden and varied between the fighters limbs, so you could disarm your opponent, or force them to crawl by damaging them enough. Headshots were basically instant death but also usually dishonorable due to the fact that most of the weapons required your opponent to be prone in order to crush their skull. I always remember the one character later on with a gun because yes. Someone you fight later on has a gun. That fight is so tense even though it's over like, pretty quickly either way.

How about Jade Empire - the Bioware game that time forgot. Aside from being an epic story driven rpg in what is essentially ancient china with magic and a martial arts combat system. This is a game which had John Cleese in digital form (and made it work (sorry Fable 3)). It also allowed you to have same sex relationships AND a three-way before they made Dragon Age. And, best of all, it's on the backwards compatible list so you can all go and remember it now!

I'll throw my hat in the ring by saying that Darkwatch on PS2 will always hold a special place in my soul. It was this cowboy, horror, vampire action-adventure game that, to me, felt so unique and ahead of its time. A few features I remember off the top of my head are fun yet challenging bosses, variable endings depending on your morality throughout the story, co-op play, a plethora of unlockable skills which allowed for multiple playstyles, and an overall tone between story and settings that constantly had me on the edge of my seat. The only lasting downfall is that my brain is now forever coded to go into panic mode for a second every time I hear a train whistle...

This game is a game that I recently discovered, but it's old and good. Sam and Max Hit The Road. It's a point and click adventure game in the style of Secret of Monkey Island. It was really zany like the show, but it was very slightly more mature. For example: There's a pool of blood in the streets. My favorite quotes from the game are: "Look at the cute kitty, Sam! Let's skin it and turn it into a tennis racket!" and "I'm going inside to see if anyone wants to off themselves for the greater good!". Also, they even referenced The Secret Of Monkey Island! There was a part where a guy corners you and one of the dialogue options was "Look behind you, a three headed monkey!".

Some of the animation was really good, though; watching bugs skate across ice was how I worked out how to. The medieval level with the magic tiles you can spring off, and the sort of pirate level that somehow centre on compass points, spring to mind as being good too. I enjoyed Time Busters too; I think that was probably the better of the two, though the co-op angle was really cool and new to me. My older brother was always Taz.

[@mikoto7693]

Yes! I played it for ages along with my brother and father as a kid! We used red and blue sands on a wooden sword and diamond shield to gradually boost them up and not worry about rust traps. But what changed everything was when my Dad fused a bloom with a Garuda to create a Bloom that could make our sword infused with paralysis magic. We could use it to paralyse monsters to kill them or flee. Literally a game changer. I soon discovered how to do it by fusing a Bloom and a Pulunpa then using a wind seed to turn it to wind with the paralysis magic. I fused to create two of them and kept making them stronger. It was those two and the gear upgrades that enabled me to reach the top of the tower and get the Hi Kewne. Of course as soon as my brother and my father saw that I was getting much higher up the Tower than before, they hastened to create their own Paralysis pair even before I actually reached the top. And then within two weeks of my victory they both got to the top of the tower in their save files. I’ve always been curious to know if other people played Azure Dreams and what method they used to reach the top of the Tower. I can’t actually think of any other way to do it. I suppose you could eventually make the sword and shield so strong you could kill everything or train your monsters to be strong enough but that would have taken ages.

I played it as a kid, and always got stuck on the hide n seek game. I might’ve beaten it once or twice, but I didn’t understand the concept of saving games.

[@chrismoore2906]

Still remember in side the pyramid was a piece of the puzzle!

[@sanemasquerader3389]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors for the SNES! Still own it and play it, along with my collection of Super Mario games, Donkey Kong Country, Aladdin, etc.. my daughter LOVES playing the games with me that I played at her age.. awesome nostalgia and bonding

[@fanglespangle110]

Absolute cult classic that game. It's got a high price on it these days. I had so much fun with it.

[@sanemasquerader3389]

@@fanglespangle110 I was stoked when I found it at the Farmer's Market in a thrift shop in Quakertown, PA.. raising my little one right! Lmao

[@Se7en2107]

Dude, you basically described my first few years of school there. Well, that plus Earthbound. I absolutely loved Earthbound even though I had no idea what was going on.

[@dogishappy0]

If it was on the Switch store i would buy it in an instant

[@tilmaneichfelder4090]

That's more like cult classic territory. It's certainly not a game that has been mostly forgotten.

[@Kagedono]

I have a few forgotten games that I really loved: Home Alone for DOS, where you had to set traps and lead the enemies into them. Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri, which was an awesome mech suit game. Then there's Metal Fatigue, one of favourite RTS games back in the day. And now I just found out it's on steam.

[@cericat]

Only ever played the Home Alone 2 tie in on NES, not the original alas. Terra Nova was impressive for its time, I played a lot more of it than I did System Shock which was also from the same team. Also on Steam now thanks to Nightdive. It and Heavy Gear were definitely unfairly overshadowed by the competition since they did things no one else did. Shogo: Mobile Armor Division as well though, MW was king in the 90s. Metal Fatigue took me way too long to get working when I first got hold of it.

[@nikanj]

Games that came out in 1998: Rugrats: Search for Reptar Ocarina of Time StarCraft Pokemon Blue/Red Grim Fandango Balder's Gate Half-life Metal Gear Solid Crash Bandicoot

[@kallasantysanty6092]

Starcraft was never forgoten (not even ones :), Grim fandango got a reedition not long ago, all the rest are great clasics that will never be forgoten.

[@andrewrash1931]

Myrmidon that’s the year I was born.

[@playerknownasmousecop]

Ahh Half Life👌🏻

[@mayowankenobi]

Ugh...that’s the year I graduated from high school. Didn’t have any money for a console or a PC so I didn’t get to play any of those games at the time. I made up for it a few years later with a gaming PC and Deus Ex!

[@frankyhorn2475]

Jesus, good year

[@PanzerMan332]

The PC MMO game FusionFall from Cartoon Network. Playing this as a kid was amazing! It had EVERY Cartoon Network character you loved, and it was an online game where you ran around as your own custom character talking to famous cartoon characters and fighting enemies. It was like World of Warcraft, but for kids. Playing this during the golden age of Cartoon Network was absolutely magical. You had Ed, Edd n Eddy, Powerpuff Girls, Codename: Kids Next Door, Ben 10, Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and Courage the Cowardly Dog, just to name a few. And the art style was adorable to boot. For as cool as it all was, no one ever talks about it. Too bad the servers shut down (it was pretty short lived, too) a while back, otherwise I would play it again to get an adult perspective on it.

[@TheReZisTLust]

Before they got rid of Ed Edd & Eddys wrestling game and Nickelodeon still had that fish bowl sim

[@Maverick_Dewitt]

You should loook it up. Some people have revived and rebuilt the game, so you actuallly can replay it. The only reason why I know this is cause I, very similarly, was having a nostalgia trip that led me to discovering the reimagined Fusionfalll.

[@NipZippler]

Jesus, I thought that was just an ongoing fever dream I had when I was a kid lol

[@kevindelacruz4127]

I actually remember downloading it and not knowing what the hell I'm supposed to do

[@Malus1531]

Don't remember that, but I remember playing a Neopets-style browser game on the CartoonNetwork website when you collect cards/stickers of all the different characters.

[@TheHuddster123]

Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes, and Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusades. My God I have great memories of these games, and I'm so sad they're not backwards compatible, but it feels like no one else knows about them.

[@Alex-vc2mg]

I do. One of the most criminally underrated series on the PS2.

[@Bigj089]

Damn, no doubt. I still own them and was just thinking about playing Crusaders the other day haha.

[@kawikamyers7320]

I remember (and am currently looking at) a fun little puzzle game for PS1 called No One Can Stop Mr. Domino. If you know all the wacky things that happen in Katamari Damacy, this little game about setting up a line of dominoes such that they activate events on the board to knock down further dominoes is actually rather difficult, but also hilarious in that distinctly Japanese way

[@jamestouchette859]

I remember playing the crap out of the demo level on (I think) one of the Official Playstation Magazine disc sets!

[@jessekinne5935]

Legends of dragoon was that game for me. It makes me sad no one remembers it when it was such a good game with killer turn-based combat.

[@tehnemox]

It just got overshadowed by ff7. I loved them both. I have it on my ps vita. Need to finish it again some time =)

[@aidan6471]

I loved that game

[@rondroske3623]

I had to wait until ff7's price was reduced until I could afford it and dragoon got me through. Loved it.

[@drzerogi]

That game is a cult classic. A lot of RPG fans know of that one.

[@phillipdeel3564]

I love FF7, but Legends of Dragoon was far superior with it attack timing. I wish that game could at least get a remaster if not a sequel.

[@rorschach9999]

I don't think this counts because this game got a sequel, and now an HD enhanced edition. Though it seems to me nobody remembers Neverwinter Nights. Not many youtuber or anybody I know IRL has ever heard about this game. I got the game when I was way too young, like five or something. I legit advanced my reading level through NWN to like middle school level, because it has very little voice acting. The teachers even warn me I was too much ahead of the other kids. But I loved it as a kid and played into my early teens. Easily thousands of hours spent. It had lots of lore you had to read. You had to piece clues together because it did not have waypoints. There was lot customization of your character. And it was one of the first games to have a big modding scene. Which we are still some what haunted by because every once in while we get a bad D&D game that tries to be NWN. However NWN simply would never be made these days. Though I still play through it every year.

[@DelphineMales]

I love this game. The amount I love this game is insane. I had about 4 different versions of it now, thanks GOG, and they just came out with an Enhanced Digital version. I have both the original and NN2 and actually just started a new game, of NN1, about 2 weeks ago.

[@thepopeofatheism]

@@DelphineMales You guys should check out Pathfinder: Kingmaker. It's based on the Pathfinder system (the successor to the D&D 3.5 system NWN was based on) and was made with a lot of inspiration from NWN. It's quite a bit of fun, frankly and a huge step forward for CRPGs.

[@DelphineMales]

@@thepopeofatheism Thanks!!! I'll check it out

[@applecoreeater]

I loved NWN - in particular the character building and dialogue options. I liked how customisable it could be.

[@ashk.alexander126]

Loved Neverwinter Nights!

[@gablewriter]

World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck for the Genesis. Not Castle of Illusion, but World of Illusion, where Mickey and Donald are magicians who are being transported to different worlds, their primary weapon being a magic cape that they wave at things to transform them into other things. The music still sticks in my head to this day.

[@joneberlein5574]

Yesss. Awesome game. And the sound it makes when you get hit by something

[@andrewcongleton9388]

Oh I've played the Rugrats one. I remember the mini golf section the most.
