Blake Stone. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile

Operation Wolf

I loved that game! Think there was a sequel too, Operation Thunderbolt maybe?

Lemmings

Another classic. You might like the recent game Humanity, similar vibes, although quite different too.

I agree with so many on this list and those I don't, I simply don't recognize. If add 7th Guest Rune Giants: Citizen Kabuto

I feel like many of these got at least a spiritual successor if not an actual successor. That counts as a second chance right and means they aren't forgotten?

Like Gauntlet has like 9 sequels and the last one released just 10 years ago. There's also many games that are heavily inspired by Gauntlet. Same for The Settlers, which had a new game just last year.
