Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Nobody ever brings up Strife even when talking about old shooters as it is. Strife is, by far, the best Doom engine game that exists.

That's a pretty bold statement, given how many WADs have been made. However reading about it, it sounds like you may be right. Love DOOM engine FPSs, definitely checking this out!

To be fair to some of the awesome user made WADs, I only meant commercially released games. Especially for the period when it was brand new. Things like MyHouse.wad are insanely good by comparison.
