    There’s absolutely no way anyone except me has played Gearheads, but it was pretty fun. These days, if something like this was made by one person on Steam, it’d probably be much more successful. As a retail release in 1996, on the shelves next to Quake and Mechwarrior 2? lol, nope.

    SuperKarts was also fun (you know it’s obscure nowadays when you have to specify ”superkarts game”, otherwise you just get videos of real karts), and there was a real dearth of arcade-style racers at the time on PC. IIRC this used the Wolfenstein 3D engine.

    I can only think of games only I remember. The Last Eden. ZZT. Stormworks. These are all the same

    Oh! I forgot my other one. Threads of Fate for the PS1! Very fun little Action RPG by Square. Didn’t make much of a splash. God I miss when big companies made small games like that :(

        It’s a fun little look at a non-Pokemon game from Gamefreak. Note, it suffers from Sega anti-rental difficultly at some points towards the end so save states and rewind is advised.

        It also has the most voice clips I’ve ever heard from a Mega Drive game. They’re so crunchy and the good kind of cheesy (IMO)

    Soul sacrifice delta, underloved game on an underloved console but I dumped stupid hours into it.

    And my favourite is and always will be two worlds 1 and 2. I will die on this hill that they are good games.

      Ooo a vita game nice. Sounds fun

      I’ve unfortunately only been exposed to Two Worlds via the Projared reviews (lol oops) but I had read somewhere that them being bad isnt a universally heald opinion I think. Second one actually looked a bit fun, but there being a cute orc girl in it is an advantage tbh

    Clash: Artifacts of Chaos

    It’s made by Ace Team, the Chilean studio that made Zeno Clash (this one is technically a sequel to those games) and some other games like Rock of Ages. Like their other games the gameplay starts out a little jank but if you can get past that it’s got really cool presentation with a very unique style. Also has a short but sweet story with some cleverer themes than you’d expect and I really enjoyed the soundtrack.

    TL;DR It’s lower budget God of War from Chile and it rocks

        Awesome, I like doing free advertising for Ace Team because when I sent a couple paragraphs to the lead dev about why I thought it was a good game he told me he gave my message to the whole team. I want my special little Chilean art major gaming devs to thrive

    Blackwake. Super fun and unique team gameplay if you’re lucky enough to join a server that isnt overrun with toxic gamers. or if you’re lucky enough to play at all, since the game has been abandoned for a few years now and it’s pretty much dead in terms of playercount. In my opinion though, it could’ve grown to become a truly incredible and timeless game if it weren’t abandoned by the developer and left proprietary in an unfinished state so fans can’t pick up development.

    Rosewater. it’s still not out but I’ve played the demo and it’s alright. it’s an point and click adventure game which is the sequel to their previous p&c, lamplight city (which was also good in my opinion).

    other than that most forgotten games I’ve played were a while ago, i can’t remember them.

      they were mostly free online games that my potato could run which don’t satisfy the requirements of this post since i saw other people play them. the ones i can remember are:

      blockade 3D, robocraft, cubic castles, CS 2D, unturned, boring man, chivalry medieval warfare, teeworlds, blockpost, loadout.

        Oh shit free games. I can add those to my library with just the click of a button and make my steam library’s played games to unplayed games ratio even more embarassing! awwww loadout isnt available anymore :(

          i think half of these are not available anymore, i played them like 7 or 8 years ago. loadout has a revival project called loadout reloaded. it was dormant for a year or two but i seem to recall they had some multiplayer tests recently.

        i love point and clicks as well. there’s one that i played when i was 8 in my friend’s house but i only played one chapter of it and for the love of god i can’t remember what its name is, and no matter how much i searched i couldn’t find it. it’s still haunting me in my dreams.
