Dragon: Quest Monsters

This was undeniably better then any pokemon game at the time could ever dream to be.

Grim Fandango was always an obscure game I liked. Not many people I ever talk to about it even know about it.

Holy stuff that game was great. Think I remember completing it even.

"Metal arms: Glitch in the system", it was awesome.


Didn't play that one, is it any good?
It's amazing <3333

Tomba 2 is one of the best games I've ever played. There was enough content and sidequests to keep you busy for ages.
I still have the disk, but my psx is unplugged to make room for my n64

Not sure if this counts as an underrated/obscure game, but I think it does:

Psychonauts, an extremely creative game, got shafted in favor of some other stuff games...

Two Worlds. It's a total rip-off of Oblivion, which I also have, but I love owning morons with my iron golems, one-shot-kill bow, and meteor strikes.

Two worlds is like Oblivion and Doom stuck together, with a little Diablo-esq inventory thing going on. You're basically a bad ass, your mission is to kill everyone and decimate the local wildlife. I love that game.

The protagonist is all kinds of badass, my favorite lines are probably "Ha! Pathetic!" and "Hmm looks like my in-laws". Also it's one of those games that have so many bad game designs that you probably won't have a good time if you try taking it seriously, but the fun factor multiplies if you take everything on the funny side. The dialogue is almost sad how bad it is, it just makes things even more hilarious.

Also it has multiplayer, where you can pretty much do anything you want.

"Metal arms: Glitch in the system", it was awesome.

Played a demo of that once, was very fun.

Jumper Two, Jumper Redux, Dim and An Untitled Story
Holy stuff I loved the Jumper games...

Lets see... What underrated games do I like...

Maelstrom - RTS - PC
Rts... 3 factions... one's high tech machines, one's rebels, and one's aliens. It has a couple features I like, like the ability to tell the computer to build your base for you, and more unique; the ability to terraform the landscape. You can only make a few minor changes in the land at a time, but you can use that to make a barricade stopping land based enemys from reaching your base, or you can redirect a river into an opponent's place.

Geist - Action/Puzzle - Gamecube
Right... You play as a ghost in some crazy ghose expirimentation lab, you use stuff to scare people, then you can posess them. It's extremely linear, but it has cool music.

Theres a cool rayman 2 port on the DS that came out in 2004 :D
