and , SUPER HYDLIDE.
GUYS.
ITS AWESOME.
hnnfnggggg
I have Super Hydlide complete in the box. I haven't played much of it, but from what I've seen, it definitely is a far better game than the original. I've heard some really good things about it, so I definitely need to play it at some point.
Chibi-Robo on the GC is underrated.
It's really charming and nobody played it...
My little sister has this game, and I must agree. It looks really cool and unique.
As far as my picks, I am a big fan of a couple Sega Genesis games that don't get enough love.
Beyond Oasis (Genesis) - An excellent Zelda style adventure. Lots of secrets, a unique fighting system that has beat-em-up elements, a unique magic system, and created by Yuzo Koshiro's company, Ancient. I love this game, but I don't hear it discussed much, which is truly a crime. I remember going to a Blockbuster in the mid 1990s and renting this game. My dad saw it and recommended it, saying it looked good, and I remember being very skeptical. I rented it anyway, and even though I had no idea what to do, I fell in love. I must've spent hours running around the first area of the game, killing monsters aimlessly. Finally, not long before I had to take the game back, I figured out what I was supposed to do. I hadn't talked to the King! I went into the throne room, but didn't see any way to get over to the king, and it wasn't until later that I realized there were stairs leading up to him. I was playing on a really crummy old TV, and couldn't tell they were there. I had just assumed they were a wall. I quickly bought the game, and I've loved action-adventures ever since.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (Genesis) - Even though the movie sucked and was a huge disappointment even when I was a kid (I couldn't put it in those words at the time, of course, but even then, I liked the first one better.), the completely forgotten Genesis game based on it is still one of my personal favorites. I believe it was one of the last Genesis games officially released, and it does feel quite advanced for the system. It wasn't just a straight up side-scrolling action game like Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition. While it did have a few similarities to those games, like the way weapons were found around the levels and added to your inventory, the gameplay was substantially different. Instead of just making your way to the end of the level, you were usually tasked with some sort of objective to accomplish, whether it be destroying dinosaur nests, or capturing several Stegosauruses by luring them into a cage, or many others. After you complete the first level, where you basically just have to make your way to the end (one of the few of this type), you are thrown into a hub level from which you can access several other levels. Once you complete all the levels in the hub, you unlock a huge setpiece boss level which functions very differently from the normal levels. The graphics on these are quite impressive for the system. When you complete the boss level, you move on to the next hub. There are tons of unique features, like vehicles you can ride, lots of enemy types, a few strategy elements (You can earn tokens by finding them in the wild or by capturing dinos, which you can redeem for items.), and fairly nice graphics. It really feels like a game for a more advanced system, while still maintaining a special old-school charm. Definitely one to try.
