Most Under-appreciated Game
« Reply #15 on: January 27, 2003, 02:51:00 PM »
Jet Set Willy originally came out in late 1983 for the ZX Spectrum, and was a development of an earlier Spectrum game called "Manic Miner", itself an adaptation of a game for the Atari called "Miner 2049'er". To a generation of computer users, it's an undeniable classic.

This game was a huge success for ZX Spectrum, because of this the unit started to sell more and that was the start of home gaming as we know it. The game got me hooked back then, while by today's standards it's somewhat primitive and ridiculously simple to play, it still manages to amuse, delight and frustrate me years on.

I wouldn’t say it was the Most Under-appreciated Game, but I think some younger people today don’t appreciate how they got there X-Box/Game Cube/PlayStation 1 or 2, if classic games like this had not been created there would have not been a home console market like there is today.

Im getting old?

Sony PlayStation:
Eretzvaju
Tobal 2
Captain Tsubasa J - Get in the Tomorrow

Sega Dreamcast:
Moero! Justice Gakkuen
Chu Chu Rocket

Although I dont have it myself - JSRF. It did get a high rating here, but hardly any1 bought it. I think it just got a bit tiresome for some after a while.


I love this game, yet all my friends cap on it.  The dancing characters put them out..........that's just cuz they are a bunch of homophobes with no rhythm!

Tobal 2


Yeah Gackt but it was only because Tobal "1" sucked so much ass nobody gave it a shot! laugh.gif

Shadow Hearts - PS2

This game that really did not receive much hype and unfornatley was launch around the time Final Fantasy X so most people over looked it.

I thought it was a decent game.  No matter how bad the critics trashed it.

TransWorld Snowboarding.  WAY WAY better than Amped.   Got it on the day it came out and it was easily the game I played most this holiday season.  The handling on the board and riders is near spot on.  Aside from some minor graphical glitches it's also the best looking snowboard game yet.  It got VERY mediocre reviews from IGN and GameSpot - which really leads me to believe that they were reviewing an unfinished product.  At least my copy isn't as bad as they say.

yeah, if I had to vote for a PS2 game then it'd be ICO.  Fuck every other platformer/adventure game on the PS2 - this is the one to get.
