You know what? I don't like Zelda games. Link to the Past was playable, but I never liked much else.

*Darth Marsden* · 06/20/2012, 09:53 am

Eh, to each their own.

(secretly adds Johro to the list)

Johro · 06/20/2012, 09:56 am

Hey, I know everyone here loves Zelda. I'm not trashing it, but it's really not my bag.

*Darth Marsden* · 06/20/2012, 10:20 am

I was just teasing. You're perfectly entitled to your own opinions. Really though, you should know I take the mickey out of everything by now. It's pretty much what I do round these here parts.

Faxanadu was one of those crazy games that really sparked my imagination. Also if I'd been paying attention as a kid, would have realized that even back then the Japanese were merging sci fi and fantasy into interesting stories.

Okami wasn't exactly forgotten either, as it's already been released on two systems and is being released again.

Tomba was awesome and it's seeing a Re-Release on PSN!

Yeah I saw that, but isn't it a WiiU exclusive?

Yeah it is...but it will be like the classic PC lego games.

My Dad hates fairies, elves, sorcery, fantasy, etc.

Also I would get so into the game I would get seizures- that was probably what sealed it. The ban was lifted when I turned 18 though.

Eh, you're not alone. I've never actually played Zelda, so I don't even have an opinion on it one way or the other. Except that it seems to only come out in formats playable only on machines that I don't own and don't intend to begin owning in the near future. Or the distant future.

FINALLY SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS!

I love Link to the Past. Well except when I turned into a pig and couldn't do anything epic.

But like...the rest of the game was flippin amazing.

The original Zelda bored me. Except for the classic line where the old man gives you a "wooden" sword. Thanks old man. :/

Zelda 2 was weird...I guess I liked it better in a way cause Link had crazy abilities when he killed bosses. But that was so Megaman.

And the 64 ones...I know how people LOOOOVE Ocarina in time. You know what? The Nintendo 64 killed console games for me until the Nintendo Wii.

Seriously.

I stuck with PC games about the time the Playstation came out and I never went back.

I realize tons of people enjoy Final Fantasy 7 more than they should (I loved Final Fantasy 6) and Ocarina of time...but meh. I'm a jaded old school gamer.

Those games didn't do much for me. :/ And Majora's Mask zomg...I don't get why people think that game is fun at all. -_-

The Wii Zelda wasn't bad, but I didn't really play it that much. I don't think I got past Wii Sports to be honest. That game will always be the ultimate Wii game, lol!

Oh. How... realistic.

Running through my game collection, I found a few that should be brought up more often.

Dark Reign

Dink Smallwood (it's got an HD version now, and it's still free, so go play it!)

Nox

Sanitarium

The Nomad Soul

...actually, the controls for that one were awful. Maybe we should forget it...

Darthchair · 06/20/2012, 01:58 pm

A lot of those games you listed are on gog.com. ^^ So thankfully not forgotten.

Farlander · 06/20/2012, 02:14 pm

Can we define 'forgotten', then?

I've played many games that didn't deserve to be forgotten.

I would list them here, but unfortunately, I forgot them all.

Icedhope · 06/20/2012, 02:24 pm

and

Some people may not find them great but they were my favorites back in the day...Wish i could find them now.

Secret Fawful · 06/20/2012, 02:41 pm

Couple more-

Noname215 · 06/20/2012, 03:56 pm

Those Indiana Jones fan games that kept me waiting for years and then give me the middle-finger salute. Fountain of Youth has a great premise and it also had a lot of potential! Coming soon!? Bullshit!

Seth Robinson's earlier text-based BBS door games Legend of the Red Dragon and Legend of the Red Dragon II were also fun. There are internet-based bulletin boards around that still let you play on them as they were meant to be played (although LORD 2 is less popular, though just as fun although it's got a different interface. It's still ASCII but it's graphical in the same sense as the Apogee Kroz games).

There's a free and open source online remake of the first LORD game called Legend of the Green Dragon. It's just like the original, although most names and such have been changed to avoid conflict with the current rights holders of the LORD games. It's well worth a play.

Johro · 06/20/2012, 09:12 pm

Okay, maybe it does deserve to be forgotten, but it was the last Super Scope game I packed up(which I guess makes it my favourite).
