It feels as if the core is set(never know though). All the wording in regards to the cast has lost the so far feel. This is Sony though, so I still expect 3-5 characters to be DLC and maybe another one to be retailer exclusive. There's always hope though, and the non-announcement of Ratchet really leaves the door wide open. One way or another, he'll be there(Ratchet). I mean, that would be the stupidest decision(granted I'm talking about Sony here) to not include him. We're talking a moneymaker that is completely ideal for this style.
Damn this one is one of the most enjoyable Spider-Man titles of all.
Hands down. I'm still upset they've never made another Ultimate Spidey game. Maybe they will, now that they've got a cartoon of it, but it won't be the same.
Another Zelda clone, but I thought it was fun.
And since someone mentioned X-Wing and Rebel Assault II, I have to bring up this - one of the greatest PC games ever - which may not really be forgotten by its fans but has certainly been forgotten by Lucasarts.
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a damn good game, but it's pretty damn hard. If you die, game over. Ugh. Also, there were forced stealth sections. The bits as the mummy were great fun though.
The only game where you can play as Rolly McFly, a pillbug wearing tennis shoes who apparently likes to kick ants and has an borderline obsession with very feminine ladybugs and four leaf clover. I loved it as a kid, though looking back there was nothing really all that special about the gameplay. It was all on atmosphere and being under an inch tall. And not getting squished by giant feet.
The box art from games in the 80s were simply amazing. Really stirred the imagination. Now we only show what the games themselves can actually present.
Ah, interesting. I liked Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie, so you have me intrigued. I'll have to try the game out.
What I remember about DK64 is that it was a lot more difficult than the other N64 platformers, especially the brutal if not unfair Boss fights, I don't think I was ever able to beat it even the few times when I went back to it.
Never heard of Disposable Hero, but I recognize that box art. It's Syd Mead. The Awesome one looks like it could be him too, but the logo looks kinda Roger Dean (of Yes album covers and Psygnosis logo fame).
Brain Dead 13. As graphically violent and suggestive this game is, it's a K-A (now "Everyone", which is baffling) rated game that has you keep pressing the buttons to stay alive and should not be forgotten.
I played this one so much when I was little. My dad's friend copied the disks from the 3 1/2 inch floppies that came with it to 5 1/4 inch floppies, just so I could play it. I also bought a Disney Sound Source just so I could hear the voices. It was so much fun. I recently played it again in DosBox just to see if it held up, and surprisingly, it still did. The animation isn't as impressive as it used to be, but the artwork still looks really faithful to the opening sequence of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and the Roger Rabbit shorts.
The arcade puzzle gameplay is still fun and Roger's comments are still funny. It's still really hard though.
It doesn't feel right that the Games That Deserved To Be Forgotten thread was resurrected and this one wasn't, so here we go.
I've said it before, this game has one of my all time favorite endings. I'm really tempted to buy it again (even if I have to import the European Dreamcast version) just to experience it again.
Blinx the timesweeper- a wonderful original xbox game...
It was one of my first proper games and it has disappeared after one awful sequel...
It is a game where you are a cat who kills monsters by shooting rubbish out of a Vaccum...
I have never managed to beat the final boss in 9 years...

NEVER played a second of it. I did listen the crap out of its soundtrack though. Richard Jacques at his fucking finest.
I love it probably because it was my first ever console game and one of the first non-educational games I ever played...
I really liked the Time crystals stuff as it was pretty unique
It was fairly difficult but I got pretty good and the bosses were great...
I was always able to get to the final boss but I still can't beat it...
I thought after 9 years of gaming I would be better...
The second game on the other hand was a cakewalk that lost all its charm and gave you a 'health bar' and 'character customisation' and an 'awful story'...
I played that a lot when I was, like... two years old or something (there are recordings of me playing DeathTrack at that age)
There was a sequel called "Death Track: Resurrection"... it wasn't exactly great... A pretty fun arcade title, but nothing too spectacular. Well, the music was pretty cool.
I always had a lot of fun playing this. I still play it. It's a simple concept, but there is a lot to do in it. And you feel good when you reach your goals.
It's a good game. You play a guy (can't remember the name) who wakes up in some facility with psychic powers. He then goes through the facility killing everyone. As he goes, he remembers more about his past, and gains psychic powers as well as physical abilities. I never beat it, but I liked it a lot. One cool thing that I remember was that in a flashback action sequence, I failed an objective and a certain character died, later, I was talking with another character who was there, and she was talking about his death... It's not much now, but that was unprecedented from my experience beforehand.

Yeah, that was a good one. My wife and brother in law played it earlier this year. What a nostalgia trip it was just watching that.
No-one's ever heard of this game, and that makes me sad inside.
I have! It was this jrpg-ish thing where two humans survive a spaceship crash and are left in this alien city with little regular tech but with magic and some bio-tech. (It is that one, right?) Loved it back in the day. Never played more than the shareware version but I kept stretching the experience there, maxing out magic knowledge and power before moving on.
It's hardly the best game ever, but the whole thing has such an imaginative flair and style to it that I absolutely adore it, even if I've never gotten round to ever finishing it (ahem).

The original 3.
The game's not out yet, so there's still time...I think? Have they announced the entire character list?

Should be remembered for boxart alone. Except Ico...that's just a great game.
The Japanese/European version of ICO cover is awesome, btw.
NA releases have a tendency to do shitty covers
First game that REALLY fascinated me.
No... that it was not.
Still, I wish I had a copy of it.
Daishi and I reminisced about this one. I was a bit too young to initially really comprehend it, but I always had this feeling that it was special.
I love this game. Perhaps unjustifiably.

Even with the time-rewinding mechanic, I HATED that.

All I can say, is, thank you Game Grumps for telling me that this exists.
"Mike Aruba!"
Was Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards ever forgotten?
Not sure Another World was either. As far as I recall it's been re-released for all kinds of platforms pretty regularly since its initial release.
Very fun game!!

I want it to be given the Telltale treatment.
