There are so many games out there that kicked a fuckload of ass and yet weren't remembered as greats. What games are included in this range?

Lego Island.  On of my favorite games in my early childhood.  God, that game kicked so much ass.

I loved Mega Man Battle Network 3. I can understand why the series as a whole has a bad rep, but number three was fucking incredible if you ask me.

The Warriors, some of the most fun i've EVER had in a video game. highly entertaining. also the Megaman X series, which was underated imo. those games were incredible, and i never understood all the hate on Megaman X6. (after X6 imo, it went downhill)

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is my all time favourite turn-based strategy game that no one seems to know. I think I might reinstall it ony my laptop...

The Warriors kicked ass. I played at a friends house at 10:00pm with a buddy. For 10 hours nonstop.

I was just thinking today of Rockstar's Table Tennis.  Really got ignored.

@BigBoss1911: YES! I love that one!
@dbz1995: What type of PS1 are you looking for? There's millions of great titles for that. I'd suggest them if I had more time.

They should really remake one of these games paper-style and make it look real flashy.

What was that "Virtual Pick" midi guitar game featuring FMV Aerosmith? I think it was called "Quest for Fame" or something like that. I remember playing the shit out of that game with a tennis racket and thinking "If they ever invent a Guitar peripheral for a video game it would be fucking awesome!". I only had to wait a decade.

Halo. I mean, it is kinda popular, and I heard ODST sold pretty well, but I mean, the incredible message that series gives is second-to-none. Every time I play it I come out a changed man. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Someone said "Golden Sun" earlier in the topic. Those are pretty good games, too.

I had that game, it was sweet. The original Road Rash was great too... thanks for making me want to go and play it again.
 
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault was great, but didn't get too much attention. It had a really intense campaign that reminds me of Call of Duty 4. Hocus Pocus, One Must Fall, and many more great DOS games went unnoticed too.
