eh I'm bored, so I said to myself "self (that joke never gets old to me) why not make a thread on the WC forums about videogames that no one really discuses except yourself during the times of 12 to 6 a.m." and I responded to that with a hearty why not so here we are. anyway the first game up is Rocket: Robot on wheels a little backstory here. LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG before sucker punch ever created sly cooper and the thevious racoonis they created this little game for the N64 called called rocket robot on wheels. you see the entire idea with rocket was that you were a little motorcycle rocket thingy that was sent to an amusement park to fix a mess of some sort. my recollection of the game is pretty cloudy, but I think I got most of that right. anyway on your way to fix up the mess you get new powers and play amusement park games. hell you even get to create your own rollercoaster and ride it with in the game. but like every game that suckerpunch made before sly cooper took off, it failed. infact sly cooper is probably their ownly franchise that didn't fail. which is sad because this game was really good. the only really bad thing about this game is the physics. their actually good, but when you're controlling a robot who has a unicycle it's kinda hard to move around sometimes. anyway if you happen to have an N64 I suggest picking this up as it won't let you down.

Maybe not "Zelda" Great, but still a very overlooked adventure game for the NES.

I only play the practice level with cheats on, very relaxing. The main game is too much of a ball-breaker.

You know what game was sick? Black Tiger It was an old school arcade platformer in the same vein as Rygar. (only his disc whip thing didn't shoot out little knives now did it?) Enemies dropped money which could be used to buy upgrades from certain people you would save. Pretty hardcore for 1987.

Ghost Hunter for ps2. Some of the best graphics and music on the system. Lead character voiced by Rob Paulsen(Pinky from Pinky and the Brain and about another 300 animated projects), game play is basically resident Evil 4, meets Ghost Buster, but it came out long before RE4.
Incredible game.

Zombies ate my neighbors was a pretty good zombie game back on the super nintendo. That game is ridiculously good. Also, I should mention Smash TV.

~I'd sell my soul to get a Wii version of Rez. I think that's the going price for the Dreamcast version on eBay.

No thread about overlooked games is complete without mentioning Sonic's celestrial cousin, Ristar.
