Battletoads 2 for NES. I found this for Â£5 at Gamestation recently, and havn't stopped playing it since. Its rock hard, but awesome, and all but ignored next to the original Battletoads

Bangai-o for N64. This was completely forgotted, as there were only 10,000 copies made. Its criminally underrated, as it rocks

Ikaruga for GC. Great schmup, again, ignored. So hard it makes my eyes bleed.

Dune 2000 for PC. Got this free with my dad's old new PC

. Spent ages on it, its really rewarding

Tales of Symphonia for GC. Great graphics, great RPG, good story (even though some people don't like it)

Lost Kingdoms - GC - A card battling RPG like Baten Kaitos, but I prefer it.

Burger Time for the NES is one of my favorite games ever and it's kindof obscure.

Blazing Dragons on the PSX was pretty good.

I am a fan of Shadow of the Ninja - NES.

So who has Battletoads 2 on NES? You mean Battletoads & Double Dragon, right? I've never been able to find that game.

The best sidescroller I have played within the last few years: Cave Story - already mentioned by johnbjuice and vb_master. The game is perfect in every respect.

Shadowman for the N64 and PSone was pretty neat.

shadowman the story about jack the ripper right?

that was also on saturn/dreamcast I think
still good though!

Err, yeah. Looks lik it was on DC and PC too. I really don't know much about it. I just stumbled upon it one day, downlo-acquiring it for the N64 as an afterthought, and I was instantly drawn in.

Yeah, the whole Tales series really is very well-done, but also underappreciated. I'm a fan of Eternia and Abyss, with Symphonia as a close third.

Cookies and Cream for PS2! Some cartoon game with no talking, no story, you're just trying to do something, i've almost beat it and still don't know what, but you can play two people with one controler.

Star Fortress for the NES. Its a very good game. I used to have it on the NES when I was a kid. I would like to find another copy again.
