With so few good new titles being released these days, especially by major studios, I figured I'd make a thread for everyone to share your favourite classic or older games, especially if they're lesser-known titles that others might have missed at the time.
I'll open with The Saboteur (2009), Mercenaries (2005) and Saints Row 2 ( The 2008 original)
Quake 1 is a lot of fun. I prefer it over the sequels because they all lack the Romero design.
Unreal Tournament series was excellent and just made me realize where Fortnite actually came from.
The Castlevania series is full of amazing games. The Metroidvania are a lot of fun.
Mystical Ninja Goemon has a lot of fan translated games. It's a good series that only did well in Japan. I wish there was a new one even now.
Virtual On and Crazy Taxi are going to be in my arcade some day.
You should also check out classic Indies. Fans and professionals make games for old school consoles all the time. Some are really good.
You'll love Daikatana.
Ah, I remember that game getting an average score in some gaming magazine with the accompanying description being super doom and gloom about it. I didn't understand why until much later when I learned about the hype around the game.
If only I could love the NPCs...
Did Romero make you his bitch?
