A couple of games I'd played that I remember didn't get enough much attention were Mischief Makers, Milo's AstroLanes, and Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.

I have always thought that Wetrix never got enough attention. I made a thread on the game a while back, but it was largely ignored...Essentially, it's a three-dimensional tetris and the idea is to build walls and pools to keep the rains that come down at bay. If you get too much overflow you lose. There are other tricky complications as well and many unique features. It truly is a shame that nobody knows about it.

I also thought Mischief Makers was an awesome game, though nobody I know seems to have played it or even heard of it. I don't think I even ever passed it because it was a rental and I didn't have enough time, but man that game was good. SHAKE SHAKE.Also, Glover. Sure, the storyline sucked and so did the controls, but I thought it was fun as hell.

Megaman 64. It was another version of the Megaman Legend from PSX but in the Nintendo 64 console (and of course they had to change the name to a stupid 64 number because Nintendo is retarded).Anyway, this game never gets the love it deserves. At first I thought that it would suck because the whole 3D experience in Megaman did not hit at me, but they actually made an AMAZING job. You could get alot of weapons (many of them are useless compared to the mega buster but still) and although the overworld and exploring is not that extensive, it's nice and not tedious that the ruins are not as extensive as they could be. I actually like the ruins more in this game than in Megaman Legends 2.Just so you compare, look at the 3D engine made for the Megaman X series and compare it to the gameplay in the Megaman Legends series. How could they screw it so badly after more than 5 years of difference between those games????

Mischief Makers also, it was a shame that lots of more inferior games sold and were better recieved than the best thing on nintendo 64 (with goldeneye)Mischief makers was real competitive and deep fun

I played a game just like that on the PS2.It was fun. I don't own many underrated games. The only one I can think of is Paper Mario, because Nintendo only made it to extend the N64's lifetime.

I guess Superman. I mean, it is a terrible game, but just compare it to E.T. on the Atari.

Blast Corps. I have never known anybody who has even heard of it. It's about this truck with faulty nuclear explosives on it. It is automatically driving to a safe detonation site, so you have to destroy all the buildings that are in the way before it hits them, and without touching the truck. It's quite fun, and difficult too.

i'll second blast corps. my god, that game was awesome. i haven't played it in a long time (since the n64 era) but i've been looking into getting it again. probably order it off of ebay, or something.i also felt that star wars: shadows of the empire was one of my favorite star wars games ever. really disappointed that it's not talked about more. maybe i'm just stupid. tetrisphere was also an AMAZINGLY addictive game. i am usually not into puzzle games at all, and i hate tetris for the most part, but for some reason i couldn't put it down.body harvest is another game that has gotten more recognition since it's a precursor to the GTA series, but is still really underrated. when i was younger (again, back in the n64 era) i rented it and accidentally put one of my own games into the case when i brought it back to blockbuster. but it was so great that i didn't say anything, and just kept the game. and then i had to pay a hefty fine (50 bucks or so) but i didn't care because it was still awesome.

I'll have to second Body Harvest! I think of it as GTA: Alien Attack! Awesome game and A LOT to explore! And all the vehicles and weapons to boot! I loved using the SunShield because of how powerful it was, despite being a tool rather than a weapon!

Seconding the Mischief Makers love. Great game. ;)Wetrix was also neat. In fact, if any of you want to try it, the PC version is abandonware now and can be downloaded for free here.
