Games

Has to be M.A.X.. Most people never heard of it but it's the best turn based strategy I have ever played with awesome sound design, graphics and music. Sadly it's an old game made by old Interplay people who loved making games.

Just for your information, there are actually two other games related to Rocket Slime. Unfortunately they are JP only. The one that release outside of Japan is the 2nd game. There's a GBA game that came out before it and a sequel to the DS game focused on pirate ships

Dirtybomb

I really loved rocket slime as well. There's a spiritual successor called connectank on steam that gives me the same vibes, and has fun co-op!

I miss the savage series. Probably no chance of those coming back though.

There used to be a game I found when shareware was still a thing. It was called Harry the Handsome Executive. You basically scoot around on a chair in an office throwing pencils and avoiding traps, it was cute

Puppeteer for ps3. It was creative and underrated

Digital Devil Saga on PS2. It's a favorite, easily outshines other SMT games in narrative, character development, and plot twists.

Yet I bring it up at a wedding reception and I'm the weirdo. Pfft.

Monday Night Combat/Super Monday Night Combat. Absolutely loved that game, and a lot of the FPS I play is to fill that hole

Space Griffon VF9 -for the PlayStation 1

It was a mech combat on the moon game, with great voice acting that turned into a space horror game very slowly over the course of the storyline until you were scared of every room down every hallway and would hear the screams of the thing hunting you in your dreams.

Sacrifice by Shiny.

I still think it is one of the absolutely best games I ever played. Totally unique gameplay, story and overall feel. The world really sucked me in for a long time.

I think didn't get the love it deserved at all. I would be so excited if it ever got remade or a sequel but it seems unlikely.

Kenka Bancho. It's a series of japanese games for the PSP, with only the 3rd game being officially translated and released outside Japan as Kenka Bancho Badass Rumble. It's like playing a typical shonen anime set in high school, you're a delinquent who fights everyone from the other schools in order to become the ultimate badass. It's semi open world and you can beat pedestrians and innocent civilians, which reduce your badass meter, because real badasses only fight people who can fight back! And with their bare hands, weapons are for weak pussies! It's over the top and fun as hell. I've only ever met one other person mention that game, and it was an RPG friend of mine, when he bought a PSP for himself.

Something I highly recommend for anyone that enjoyed River City Ransom or similar beat'em ups.

X-beyond the frontier got me into space games as a kid. Had trading, piracy, fighting, ship building, factory ownership. Great series, and they made more after that. I've never met a single person that has played that game before.
