Guest MrRant Report post Posted July 7, 2002 The one I can think of right now is Simpsons Road Rage for the Cube. The funniest thing in the world is driving around as Homer and listening to him say Jerkass repeatedly. Blaster Master for the NES was also underrated in my opinion.

Guest -Cutthroat- Report post Posted July 7, 2002 I think the "007: Agent Under Fire" was REALLY underated. That game is awsome and all it gets is a "6.8 out of 10." Gimee a break! That game rules! It's at least an 8. Hell, it;s the best game EA ever came out with! And EA Games blow most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest y2jailbait Report post Posted July 9, 2002 Shadowrun for the Sega Genesis. It was Grand Theft Auto before there was a GTA Oh snap! I never knew anyone knew about that game, i spent basically my entire 7th grade year playing that game. By the way, anyone remember the old Sega Channel, it was a service provided by a cable company which was a channel with all these kick ass sega games, i wonder what ever happened to that?

Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted July 9, 2002 Hmmm... Raw is good once you get use to it, and also WMX8 as well. But my choice as always is still River City Ransom for the NES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Doomsault Report post Posted July 10, 2002 True Lies and Hook, for the SNES. Finally, a Peter Pan themed game that kicked ass, and Power Stone for the Dreamcast, just a damn fun game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted July 10, 2002 Yeah, Shadowrun for the Genesis was an amazing game - totally blew its SNES counterpart out of the water. General Chaos was also great, just for the sheer multiplayer fun. I likes Fatal Frame, but I'm not sure if it's really that different enough from Silent Hill to warrant an "underrated" status - it's a great game and its definitely methodical, spooky, survival horror, but it gets a little slow in spots and it's still hamstrung by faults of the entire genre (non-sensical puzzles, backtracking). Another neglected game would be the Playstation's SOUL BLADE. Now there's an excellent (and balanced) fighting game that still holds up today. EDIT: I just saw it mentioned in another thread, and I definitely think it's relevant here: G. I. Joe for the NES. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Mighty Damaramu Report post Posted July 12, 2002 Shadowrun is actually based off of a roleplaying game that has been around for a while. You know roleplaying like D&D style. I've played the roleplaying game but never the Video Game. I wonder if it stays true to what it's based off of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted July 12, 2002 The Genesis version is actually quite faithful to its 2nd Edition Shadowrun pen-and-paper roots. The SNES one, however, is a little iffy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted July 13, 2002 Okay, I was a GM back in the day, and I own about fifty of the books, so stand back and let the Shadowrun master through. The Genesis version of the game was extremely faithful to the RPG in that it didn't change any of the rules or make up anything new. Everything in the video game came directly from the original RPG, right down to the dual damage system which separates Stun & Physical damages. The magic system is translated with equal fidelity, as is the combat section of decking in the Matrix (Shadowrun's term for cyberspace a LONG time before the movie ever came out). However, due to the limitations of the 16-bit format, they were forced to leave a helluva lot of stuff out. A lot of the advanced magic and decking stuff was left by the wayside. The SNES version, on the other hand, took quite a few liberties. I actually like the game itself, but it's a poor representation of Shadowrun and is not at all a faithful translation of the game. They completely changed the combat & magic systems to the boring old typical HP/MP scale, and the decking is a complete joke compared to the Genesis version.

Indeed - If you exchange "Karma" for "Exp. Points", you'd have any other generic RPG system in the SNES version. And the decking consisted of filling in blocks, if I remember correctly. Quite embarrassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Downhome Report post Posted July 14, 2002 Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head... 1) Crystalis --- NES (This is my favorite RPG type game of all time. Yes, that means over any FF game or Zelda game.) 2) Giant Gram 2000 --- Dreamcast (While not underated to those that know of it and have played it, but sadly didn't get all that much attention in the US from the casual gamer, as it was a Japanese import. This game is perfection in the genre of wrestling/fighting games. It is the greatest one, ever.) 3) VPW2 --- N64 (See Giant Gram 2000, except this is the 2nd greatest wrestling/fighting game ever. In the set up of a WM2000 or No Mercy, this game is just much better. The flow of the matches, style, etc.. captures the Puroresu style perfectly, and it is basicly two games in one, seeing how you have the option to do shoot fights in the ring under shoot fight rules using REAL shoot fighers.) 4) MDK2 --- PS2, DC, etc... (Call me crazy, but I'm a huge sucker for this game. I could play it for hours and never bore of the three different characters. Then, damn, you have a dog with 6 arms, what's not to love!?) 5) Maniac Mansion --- NES (Oh yeah, the hours I spent on this baby are fond memories indeed! Put that hamster in the microwave and watch him cook! Easily the greatest point-and-click game ever in my view. 6) Zombies Ate My Neighbors --- SNES (One hell of a fun game playing in single player, not to mention hard, but even that much better when playing in co-op mode with a friend! ...that's it for now from me, but there are many more I could shoot out there for ya. If you have any questions about any of my choices, just ask away! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EQ Report post Posted July 14, 2002 Winback is underrated, IMO. It came out for N64, and then again for PS2. Sure, I've played better games, but I really enjoyed this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
