This game was hard as hell. I still remember the scene when you get raided and the giant flying whale comes and fucks everything. Really cool game.

I'm not sure how hidden it is but no seems to ever fucking talk about it.

I loved this game, one of the first RPGs I ever played. The man festival is the best part.

Covenant is a legit 10. Kinda strange considering the other two are really not that great.
Joseph Powell
This game on Windows 95 felt like playing something from 100 years on the future when I was a kid, also it was extremely scary. It got me hooked on survival horrors like Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark
Nathaniel Johnson

Hidden gem, not really popular game that you played even though your a 18 year old zoomer.
Landon Murphy
my nigga. love this game
Parker James
This game is actually incredible. Long campaign, plenty of bosses, ridiculous story, challenge mode that actually unlocks meaningful content like overpowered equipment, and pretty fun ship customization that lets you design the whole thing from the bottom up with increasingly more powerful hull types.
Carson Adams
this right here was my jam for several years, the procedural generation of the world, the fantasy elements, the rpg aspects, it really just had it all going for it.

Sixth grade computer class was basically just Bugdom hour. Used to play it on those fancy ass translucent iMacs back in '98.
Ryder Walker
Easton Cruz
I actually liked it. it was a grind fest to get better loot and shinier, cooler armor just like destiny, warframe, diablo, etc, but everyone else seemed to hate it
I remember the control scheme was unlike anything I had ever played
Liam Turner
This game was one of my favorites growing up. Fantastic co op game.
Carter King

holy shit I remember that game but I was younger. same bright primary colored imacs though and the stupid circle mice

The fact that Capcom forgot this series even existed hurts me immensely
Carter Edwards
It's not a simulator at all, really, it's an arcade game through and through, like Ace Combat but with an even greater degree of ridiculousness and maybe just a little bit more depth in the controls, Like a boss that's literally two battleship hulls glued together and given wings that is sent off across the world to reduce London to rubble.
I can't recommend it enough, but there's absolutely no accuracy in the handling of ships to be found here.
Jacob Long

Xavier Walker
Is the first worth playing?
Matthew Gray
I couldn't tell you user, I have no experience with the first one. I couldn't even tell you if it's the same style of gameplay, especially since the second one seems to be completely standalone as far as the story is concerned.
Brody Rodriguez
This game is fucking great. The only things I dislike about it are the wait times when defragmenting/disinfecting/downloading core caches, the really dodgy platforming, and the absolute bullshit cheating AI during light cycle matches. Otherwise it's amazing and I love it.
David Gomez
I played the shit out of this when it came out. did you know there's a PC version, they still sell it on their website.
Connor Hughes
I have never in my life seen or heard another soul reference Ristar. No idea if it's popular or well-known, but to me, it's basically nonexistent.
Anthony Wilson
My fucking dude. I loved this game. The open world setting was great to explore, and it had fun puzzles and gameplay, not to mention co-op. I will always cherish this game.
Chase Peterson
I used to watch this show early morning before school, it was meh
Somehow got this as a gift for my gameboy color and didn't really have any expectations for it but this game was actually alot of fun
Fuck mochi

Space Station Silicon Valley. It did odysseys capture gimmick much better too

I honestly don't remember a single second of this game, but I know I owned it and I played it a lot, so I assume I enjoyed it.
Caleb Roberts
THAT'S what that game was called, jesus christ I've been searching through random ass ps1 titles for over a year trying to remember.
Bentley Myers
"Comfy rural japanese fishing village with a vauge pokemon feeling" simulator a best.

Dunno how hidden it is though, never heard anyone talking about it at least.

What was that one game on the PS1 called where you have to kiss girls else you die or something?

I have no fucking idea what was going on in this game. My rom freezes up everytime I get to the flea stages.
Hudson Evans
Chulip?
It's based around kissing but it's PS2
Jace Green
Not sure if its a hidden gem or not, but I fucking loved Future Cop.
Elijah Rogers
Glorious multiplayer games like this literally do not exist, I hold team buddies, as with CBFD in the highest tier of multiplayer experiences.
Good, but the first game was much better.

Gem?
Brody Hill
Not sure if it counts as hidden gem since it was well received at the time but i never see it mentioned. simple game but it did everything right.
Andrew Howard
Zero Tolerance for the Genesis. Why yes, there is an FPS for the Genesis. With different characters with different abilities.
William Anderson
The peridot one. OP's image is a peridot.
Sebastian Long
James Cox
when i was a kid my pocket money didn't allow for me to grab something from the new and chart shelves, as well as the fact my hardware was always behind the times. so i was always trawling through bargain bins, buying old "gold" editions and multi-game packs, etc. plus the only thing to tell you what the big games were, was magazines, which obviously focused on latest releases. so i didn't really know if they were hidden gems at the time, or just old, etc. these days with the internet everyone knows every game or they were some novelty because of [e-celeb] coverage, etc. but lots of my favourite games back then were just brought randomly or found from shareware collections and the like. RotT, Ecstatica (which i brought because the boxart was metal as fuck), Beneath a Steel Sky, Sango Fighter, Omikron, Urban Chaos, all the old Apogee and similar PC platformer stuff (Monster Bash, Cosmo's, Keen, Hocus Pocus, Jill of the Jungle), lots of good shit. honestly more than i could ever remember.
more recently i think Mini Ninjas, from the x360 era, was really overlooked. it is basically a kid's game but it was really excellent. if it had NG+ it would be fucking perfect. a new IP that went nowhere, unfortunately.

Yeah, that's it. I was just misremembering the console it was on.
Thanks user.

As far as I know, he has macular degeneration. No idea how severe by now, nor how much it affects his animation development.

Kevin Clark
I was reading some of his old interviews and he mentions how he's been animating since the mid-90's. It's kind of amazing he's been doing it for more than 20 years.
Anthony Clark
Holy fuck I remember this. Was awesome
Bentley Campbell
Looking back it was a pretty flawed game but damn if it wasn't a fun experience for the first RPG I ever played.
Brandon Carter
Fuck Yes.
Capt. Ishii was the best character too.
Samuel Nelson
just checked, the peri loop is the newest one.
back on topic, does anyone remember the name of this one ps1 game? the premise was that everyone but your two player characters was magically forced into a deep sleep, while several creatures from their nightmares are set loose upon the waking world, it was an isometric, actiony game that may have had some light platforming elements, I haven't been able to recall the name for nearly a decade. I do however, recall enjoying it.
Jason Parker
This and Maximo
Carter Edwards
Dinotopia for gba
Hudson Perez
Ring Soul dialogues were also adorable.
Joseph Morales
I loved the hand-to-hand combat guy. Just the fact that you could haul up and one-shot most things with your fist was hilarious.
Jeremiah Walker
This was good game but we/I could never get through more than a coupl levels because if you missed one “objective” you would have to back track through the whole level just the click one stupid fucking “objective.”
Still fun tho

I still own the cart. My favorite game. Love the music so much. Never beat it. Very challenging
Nathan Brooks
Brandon Mitchell
Top-tier music in that game. Unfortunately it's been forgotten in time with the only reference I can think of was in the Sonic All-Star Racing game
Charles Rogers
Picked this up because my mom said I could get a new game--I was looking for Final Fantasy IX, but they were sold out and I didn't want to "waste" my chance to get a new game.
Legit became one of my top 10 favorite games of all time.

I love this game, I never could beat the optional stuff but I had so much fun playing it.

Loved this and Vectorman
Jack Barnes
I have yet to meet another person that's played this.
Eli Bennett
It's not quite a hidden gem, since Landstalker was pretty well regarded, but my uncle fished it out of a bargain bin and it was one of my favorite games.
Jonathan Walker
I don't know if you can call it a gem, but I fucking loved it. Shame the pricing model for in-game purchases was so cancerous it killed the game.
Charles Russell
Joshua Mitchell
how hard would it be to get this running on modern hardware?
Zachary Morgan
>That moment where they almost revived Alice
That Piano arrangement gets to me every goddamn time.
that scene is more than enough to justify a proper remake of the series on current hardware.
Jonathan King
I have, I love the boardwalk level, doing the minigames and shooting the freeze ray everywhere. I played this immediately after Tonic Trouble, so both games are immortalized in my mind to me.

I fucking loved that game so much. I've often thought about how great a sequel or even just a remaster of this game would be.
Angel Walker
Aw fuck is that some river king? Loved that game.

thats the original version from the first game.
this version has a much sadder tone.

first time i was exposed to PTSD and the horrors of war.
Wyatt Brooks
Nicholas Harris
They also made other iMac games from that time like Otto Matic and Cro-Mag Rally.
Fun fact: according to a Wikipedia edit made in 2007 (later deleted for being "unsourced"), it's rumored that Peter Steele of Type O Negative sang the ending song to Cro Mag Rally. What do y'all think hearing this?
Grayson Cook
I fucking loved this game. It was maybe my first rpg? Idk. I remember getting to the first town and I felt it was such a fucking achievement.

Beyond Oasis (fairly well known among SEGA fags; incredibly solid top-down Zelda clone)
Adventures of Batman and Robin (on SEGA - surprisingly balanced and fast-paced bullet hell platformer with beat'em up elements)

The sequel is nice too, despite having nothing to do with the first game
Jackson Anderson
Do you remember the chapter this pic is from? I got the source but really wanna know the before and after
Jordan Ward
oh damn, reminds me of duke nukem. but i know it isnt.
Thomas Hill
Made by the same people
Bentley Long
Okay, I know Quintet wasn't exactly a small name back in the day, but I never see anyone mention this in particular. Nowadays it's always Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, and ActRaiser. And these might be objectively better constructed games, but still..
Still, for me it'll always be Robotrek. I'll always remember this goofy little game about robots and hackers and time travel.
Dylan Morris
Fuck, I miss this game.

I'm not at all familiar with Peter steele, or even heard him before really but youtube'd a few songs and even played some side by side and can say they sound remarkably similar; enough so i'd believe it.
he liked to sing about dead things a lot apparently so much he decided to join them.
Ian Morgan
Robotrek. I never beat that game. I recall early on not being told what to do at fuckin all getting confused and quiting. I did play it again when I was much older. It was pretty easy and quite funny.
Jonathan Ward
Grayson Morgan
Good shit.

The feels man, Covenant had lots of laughs but a lot of pain too.

The toy system was interesting, but the game itself was kinda shitty (not that I remember all that much).

One of the few games we rented multiple times. No clue why we didn't just buy it.
Nicholas Davis
Replayed Glitch about a year ago, still godlike.
Alexander Brooks
Legaia was amazing, and I think it was my first RPG as well.
I remember being blow away when the game didn't end with Zeto (the first big boss). Remember, first RPG.
Easton Gonzalez
Is that bootleg Rayman?
Benjamin Hill
Fucking amazing game, holy crap. One of my favorites as well.
Adam Brooks
Anyone here heard of Urban Assault? It was a 6/10 RTS but really good concept of diving into one of your units to join the fray.
Jack Carter
Rented it once as a kid, I remember it to this day.
Amazing how they managed to produce these cool games from ridiculous concepts back in the day.

Unique character creation tools, story is of a low-tier anime though

I think this was the closest thing to a hidden gem I played as a kid.
Didn't play any obscure games until my teenage and adult years.
Andrew Reed
Metal Fatigue was my jam
Adrian Sullivan
The whole series is fantastic, but Imperivm III wins the cake.
The first game is on GOG under the title "Celtic Kings: Rage of War"
Leo Watson
Grayson Anderson
Cool game about being able to change into 3 different forms. Ends in a cliffhanger but probably sold poorly since there was never a sequel.
Jayden Gonzalez
Fucking Chromehounds
My dad wouldn't let me play one of the Campaigns because he thought they were Anti-US/Anti-Capitalist and that the US Government probably developed this game to see who played the commie campaign more often so that they could put them on a blacklist, so I played the commie campaign once and played the good guy campaign like 20 times.
Funniest thing is that we are brits....

No idea but check out 40 Winks, I remember playing it once at a friend's house and it had to do with staying awake or something.

I had no idea what I was doing when I played this game but it was loads of fun and I liked the garbage truck.

Such a nice scale of destruction possible but also a variety of strategies and some mission goodies.
True Lies (Sega Genesis)

Especially the Harrior mission - the only one like that. The game itself was nicely difficult and had satisfying and useful weapons - except for that bullet sponge boss at the end the game was pretty good.
