Games you enjoyed that are not well known!

I have no idea how well known most of these are but i'll list some anyway:
Evolva on PC
BC Kid on amiga
mickey boom on amiga

Can't think of anythign else that might be particularly unknown.
 
Apart from a few already listed:

Litil Divil
Inner Space
Bioforge
Deus (not to be confused with Deus Ex)
Virtual On (for the Sega Saturn)
 
Stop mentioning MW3 :rolleyes:


Anyway back on topic, these are two more games that took a lot of my life away playing an ENTIRE summer, shame we never had a sequel.



 
Clandestiny – Trilobyte the guys that were behind the 7th guest and 11th Hour.
Terminal Velocity – Unique game at the time
Incoming – Rage software and was a great game with interesting lighting effects used
Hi Octane – Bullfrog, doing a racing game? Based on the magic carpet engine, apparently they created the game in just a few weeks to get some funds into the company.
MDK – Excellent game, ran like a dog until I got a Power VR (yes I had a Power VR card as well) patch and it ran great.
BioForge – Excellent game but it sold very little, high demands on 486 kit back in the day
The last Express – From the guy who did Prince of Persia, how this game failed to become a huge success is anyone’s guess but it was an excellent adventure game.
Under a killing Moon – Spanned over 4 CD’s, at the time it was the largest CD rom based game released, was quite a good game…
 
Rogue Trooper was a great little game. Good game in it's own right and faithful enough to the comics to be enjoyable on a fanboy level.

Sort of sad more 2000AD stuff doesn't work that well.

MDK I remember :D

Conflict: series. Slightly clunky tactical shooter games on XBox.

Hidden & Dangerous series, Viet Cong. Old school tac shooters.
 
"Z" (the original 2D awesomeness, not the 3d sequal steel soldiers!)

Hillarious RTS like C&C but with robots!! Loved it!

I was glad to see a thread fairly recently about getting it for free download :D

Some weird game where you collected stuff in the sea. I would love to play this again, spent many hours on it. Anyone know the name?

Are you in a yellow sub? Collect pearls and scrap material from the seabed? Are there also "enemy" pirate subs who attack you?

I would also like to know the title of this game.

oooh that was a fantastic game, looked fantastic as well!

for me, Independence War (I-War) which was so ahead of its time.

Edit: also, someone above, Z was fantastic, Lasers were mint, Toughs were also mint!

Do you still play?

I played for well over a year but the number of bots being used ruined it for me so I quit.

Also took over my life because of the farming aspect of it with the levels of troops needed :(.

Have never really played any other obscure games of recent times. Remember playing Roland on the Ropes on my old CPC 464 but that's it.

/Edit

Actually looking at the lists others have posted I used to love Terminal Velocity, was rock hard :). Another I have just remembered was Fatal Racing, sort of Destruction Derby-esque but out earlier (I think).
 
Silent Hunter 3 - not TOO many people have heard of it, but its an incredibly atmoshperic and fun game. Great physics, ballistics and shooting mechanics- torpedoing ships never gets stale in that game.
