SimAnt. Almost no one I know has played it, and yet it was so very, very awesome.

Great call, played this one in elementary school. I was talking to an old buddy about this game just last week.


My Muzaks! CHECK IT OUT!!!

I remember SimAnt. I have to find a copy of that somewhere.

Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy

An adventure thriller.

This is how video games should be made.

saw the cover and it looked good but I felt maybe it was a Silent Hill 2 knockoff that sucked hard

will try now

Indigo Prophecy is pretty good... until the story begins to develop. Pretty sad, actually. Not a horrible game, but I actually sold my copy, and that's saying something.

Animaniacs for the SNES is a great game. It's challenging, but it's not so hard to the point where you feel like giving up; it actually draws you in and makes you wanna play more (at least for me, it did). I only started playing this for the first time a few days ago because I borrowed a copy from a friend of mine, and I was shocked that I never played this when I was younger!

Animaniacs is made by Konami, so it's no surprise it's awesome. Like TMNT 4: Turtles in Time, it actually makes you feel like you're in an episode of the cartoon on which it's based!

Final Fantasy VIII.

I know I'm going to be repeating myself again, but damn, it is a great game. Unfortunately, it had the distinction of coming out after FFVII and people expected it to compete with it... Which it didn't, thankfully.

Also, I cannot think of any other games that were underappreciated. I will come back later.

I enjoyed FFVIII a little more than FFVII at the time, I can't really put my finger on why.

FF8 came out the same day as the last great console. It's not square's fault.

Hey, PS2 was pretty damn good, despite being responsible for the Dreamcast dying early.

I've decided to blame Sega for their inability to run a company.

Specifically, blame the head offices in Japan. A lot of the problems that Sega had in the mid-90s were specifically due to the jealously and embarassment the Japanese executives felt over the successful marketing of the system their American counterparts had managed to pull off. A lot of really bad and really counterproductive decisions were made, and it's rather depressing.

Sorry, but I've played it. Can't stand it.
