Underrated Games?

Macawmoses · December 14, 2008, 06:21:07 PM

My travels through the internet unveiled this:

http://old-wizard.com/top-10-most-underrated-video-games

So, it brought up some questions. Is Duck Tales underrated? Why would you include any Mario or Zelda title on the list? And what is Burger Time or Actraiser?

I appreciate some of the titles on that list, like Rescue Ranger, and the fact I haven't heard of some is good..but it is a skewed list.

The point of the topic:

A) Info on the two games I don't know about?
B) Thoughts on Final Fantasy, Mario, and Zelda on the list?
C) Other underrated Legacy titles.

You've never heard of Burgertime?
We have a flash version in our Arcade. 0_o

And Duck Tales... never played it, but I heard it was AWESOME!

Actraiser is a combination of an RTS and a platformer with awesome music.

I skimmed through some of it, so the following comments may have traces of stupidity.

Final Fantasy IV: I don't see how this is underrated.
Burgertime: You haven't heard of Burgertime!?
Zelda 2: Worst of the series...not bad, but the worst. I don't find it underrated, really.
Mario 2: God, I hated that game.
Metal Storm: Actually, I've never heard of it.
Rescue Rangers: There do/did exist good licensed games, and Rescue Rangers is one of them.
Illusion of Gaia: I've played it, and it's an interesting game. Don't remember much about it, actually. But it was the first game to ever make my sister cry.
Ducktales: It's one of the best games ever!
Actraiser: It was really darn sweet for an Action/Adventure/Sims game. So good, it got a sequel!...and was never heard from again...
Little Nemo Dream Master: I tried to play it, but I actually got bored after a while. So yeah.

Go play it in our arcade. It's actually pretty fun. ^_^

Yeah, I will.

And Duck Tales is godlike, it's among the best games of all times, in my opinion. I don't see it as underrated, either.

Burgertime bores me. Which is odd, because I don't mind games like Burgertime.
