The least popular game(s) you absolutely love?

[MachoMyers]

We all have them, games we absolutely love that people have either never heard or games that everyone just hates but for some reason you love.

I am teaching myself (teaching, as in work) how to play the Paradox Interactive Games like Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron. A lot of hardcore PC players love those games but every single one of my friends who ask me what I'm playing just laugh at me. I guess I would be just better off not telling them.

Have any of those?

Brave Fencer Musashi for PS2- done by Squaresoft- sort of like a cartoon version of Super Metroid and Link.

Final Fantasy Tactics- again by Squaresoft- it has critical acclaim in all reviews but I don't think it is as popular as the regular Final Fantasys.

Legend of Legaia on PSOne. similar playstyle as Final Fantasy(or at least the older ones, I haven't played FF since VII or VIII). not sure why I enjoyed that game, but I did. I Don't like that style of RPGs that much.

Zombies Ate my Neighbors on SNES. not sure how popular that game was, but I loved that game.

I enjoy most the the "tycoon" games. Railroad, Roller Coaster, and just about any Tycoon game I'll try. I like to build things up, I guess. there was a game that came out on PSOne and PC called A-Train. that game was pretty fun. I can't find it anywhere now though. I had it on PSOne, but not sure where the disc is. I still have the case for it. I tried the PC version, but couldn't get it to work on XP.

Star Trek: Bridge Commander. you were a captain of a star ship in a first person view(the view was your eyes). was a pretty neat idea for a Star Trek game. not sure how known or popular it was though, so don't know if it qualifies. I wouldn't say it was good, but it was a fun game to run through at least once. it had online I believe, but I never tried it.

2 games for the Genesis. The first was Cyborg Justice. You made your own cyborg and picked his parts and weapons and went around fighting other cyborgs. You could rip the other cyborgs up and take their bodies, heads, legs, and weapons.

The next is Home Alone for the Genesis. I think the SNES version was different. But in the one for the Genesis, you have to protect each house on the neighborhood. You find items and construct weapons and set traps and stuff. lol...that game was sweet.

Also, way of the Samurai for PSone. It was kind of crappy, because it felt unfinished and didn't make any sense, but collecting the different swords was cool.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Aside from the really, really poor translation, I still play this game. I wish I had a PSP to play the remake.

Loved this game.

Railroad Tycoon 2 for the PS1 was a great game to play; I wish they would come out with one for the PS3.

First of all, Big Ups on the Avatar. Second of all, Legaia and FF Tactics may not get that much pub, but they are both actually very popular and beloved games with gamers.

I'm going to go back to the 16-bit era and pick two RPG's that I bet few here have have even heard of, let alone played.

Landstalker for the Sega Genesis, and Brain Lord for the Super NES.

Not sure if this qualifies, but I love the Wipeout Series. Wipeout HD/Fury is one of the best MP experiences for the PS3, but hardly anyone plays it.

Shadow Ops Red Mercury. Just a little cool FPS game for the PC from 2004. No amazing graphics, no special physics, no great reviews... just pure fun and great sounds!

Re: The least popular game(s) you absolutely love?

Just looking at my PS3 collection and based on either bad ratings or sales, mine are Pure and Viking Battle for Asgard.

Pure is a brilliant game! Amazing graphics engine, good music, simple but easy and fun gameplay.

Viking is one of my faves on PS3. Feels a lot like a Zelda game in terms of the open world and progression and mixed with a lot of the old Unreal Engine game Rune. Yeah it slows down during the epic fights, but they are epic and while I almost never accept a game with slowdown, there's just something about it that made me overlook it. I'd love to see a new version/sequel but it'll never happen.

The Wheel of Time on PC.

Afrika for me. After a day of killing enemies in COD MW 2 I need to unwind and taking photo's soothes my savage beast.

Trackmania as well it is a great game that no one really plays in America but there are servers all over the world.

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun for me. No one gave this game really good reviews saying it was too short amoung other problems. I played the campaign over and over while me and my buddies played the hell out of the multiplayer.

I loved Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball on the SNES.
