Alundra.
This game is waaay too unappreciated. Barely anyone knows it, and yet it defined my kid days.
If you're an RPG player and you missed this one.. You missed a lot.
And the art is by FAR one of the best I've ever seen. As well as story (of course).
Here is good summary, if you're interested:

So... the girl that played Wario's Woods with me is coming over for Thanksgiving break. Now she wants to play Earthbound with me.
I have never really played, but if anybody has any ideas for how to turn that into something perverted, I would be very interested in hearing.
...god, I love my SNES.

Never played it, but in case you guys play Strip Earthbound Trivia - Earthbound was known as "Mother 2" in Japan.
That should be worth a boobie touch or something.

I've been meaning to play this actually I remember playing the sequel and really enjoying it although it was so hard. other underrrated games are
WILD ARMS for the ps1 which is a great rpg (one of my favourite ever) which was kind of lost by the way-side after final fantasy 7 (the best rpg ever?) its 2d and includes lots of things that ~I hadn't seen in a 2d rpg at the time (this was about 8 years ago I think) like spikes and other traps which cause damage and puzzles involving the use of magic items. thoroughly recommended and I think it was remade for the ps2 not so long ago, could be worth checking out in addition to the sequels.
SECOND SIGHT on xbox,gamecube and ps2 a great game by the makers of timesplitters 1-3.

Batman for the NES was a great title. If you ask me, it is in the top 20 action platformers on the NES. If you don't have this game, or haven't played it, you can buy it for like 2 bucks. But the game is so awesome.

Yep, Batman on the NES was cool. I think it was one of the first games to introduce the "jump from wall-to-wall" feature. I haven't played it in years, but I do remember it being fuggin' hard.

Yeah, it was hard. Not as hard as like a Mega Man though

Going back... who here has played Phantasy Star 2 for the Sega Genesis? What do you think; under-rated, or not?

Underrated. Badass game. I own it, Phantasy Star 3, and Phantasy Star 4 as original Genesis carts.
...shit cost me a fortune.
