If I remember correctly, Winback was originally released for the N64. Right?

threads of fate was alright, i enjoyed it.

that video doesn't really do it much justice though, it's all cutscenes no real gameplay.  I don't remember the music being all that extraordinary but the game gets a 10/10 for creativity, with the exception of psycho master (HUR HUR HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME FROM THE FRONT *proceeds to teleport*).

also idk, when i was younger i really enjoyed legends of legaia although i never finished it since that game was freaking hard.

Threads of Fate I loved...

and Legend of Legaia was great too. So was Legend of Dragoon. Like...both those games were so horrible TRADITIONAL RPG DRAGONS FIGHT ARGH but idk I just loved them.

They are like little gems in my heart.


Also, Legaia's fighting system is cool, the button pressing thing. Didn't they make a shitty sequel though?

Rayman Arena is total absurd crap. The fighting part of the game is really terrible and the racing part is average at best. Sure, in Rayman the sliding parts are cool but god, don't make a game out of it.

the last boss has 8 forms

you knock a log into a river stream

the dark evil girl in your party pees black matter and it heals you (what the hell)

that's pretty much all i remember from legend of dragoon

As far as I remembered Paladin's Quest totally sucked but I still want to play it someday because it had like the best graphic style I've ever seen even if it's really lol geometric and repetitive sometimes

Edit: Also they have no sense of perspective but it's all good

Raptor: Call of the Shadows. I almost registered that one, spent a long time playing the shareware version.

Oh yes, I loved this game.
I only played the demo version and it was great. Upgrading your ship will all that hard earned money, heh.

Anyhow, a game I think only about 10 people have ever played AND liked it...

ILLBLEED (2001)
Sega Dreamcast

Wikipedia Description:

Illbleed is a survival horror video game for the Sega Dreamcast. In it, players are tasked with guiding horror movie aficionado Eriko Christy through a deadly theme park riddled with booby-traps and monsters, relying on a heartbeat monitor and her own senses (some of which are conveyed through an in-game interface and others indirectly) to avoid being frightened to death. Should she make it out alive, the eccentric genius responsible for the park's creation, Micheal Reynolds, will reward Eriko with a hundred million dollar prize and leave the amusement park.

The game's plot revolves around rescuing your 3 friends (and 1 person you meet along the way) who visited Illbleed earlier and have been trapped there for 3 days.

ILLBLEED obviously wasn't big, its reviews weren't all that hot either. Often complaints about it were the steep learning curve on the controls, bad voice acting and plain graphics. Now why did I like it? Well first of all I found the concept to be very interesting. It sounded corny, but eerie at the same time (which is pretty much the essence of the game). Second the controls were perfectly fine, I got a hang of them on the overworld area. The graphics didn't bother me, and the voice acting, while bad in some cases, felt a bit fitting.

I enjoyed the overall story of the game, and the sub stories of the levels themselves (they are all based after movies created by the park's creator, Michael Reynolds). The humor was bizarre and often times didn't make any sense, but it added to the eerie-ness.

The gameplay was interesting, and well done (if you understand the way the game works). It pretty much revolves around detecting traps around the level using your "senses" and a device called the Horror Monitor. There are also monsters to fight, and while the battle system wasn't elaborate, it got the job done.

In the end it was very different, and a very good concept really. I don't play many games, so this is a first for me.

So yeah video:
The reason why the player keeps on pausing at the map screen is because 1. its helpful to pass through the maze and 2. its actually a little trick that causes the villain chasing the character to stop. Not sure why but it just does.

I never played it but Illbleed sounds familiar with the whole heartbeat thing.  I always need more Dreamcast games so I might have to check that out.

if you have to pause every 0.4 seconds that looks like a pretty bad game

Its actually not mandatory, you can go though the maze with out pausing much and still have a chance to avoid the enemy.
There are only 3 parts in the game where you are stuck in a maze with an enemy (or enemies) chasing you, so you won't be doing much pausing normally unless its to heal.

I loved "The Way" series,its the first rpgmaker game that actually kept me excited..unlike all the other games that I just play when im bored and got nothing else to play...

Otomon, little known, please. The Way is probably the most popular rpgmaker series ever.

Rpgmaker games are considered "indie" n00b....you might want to rename it this to "little know commerical videogames"
another little know game is "stick soccer" you play it with sticks,nails and lots of elastic bands..

There's a difference between a game being indie and with a game being little known. Little known implies not alot of people know about it.

And if you're going to say not alot of people know of rpgmaker, then you're pretty wrong. I've been surprised irl alot about people knowing about RPGMaker.

Oh no you got me there! I am amazed by your logic! Im soo dumb! *sarcasm*

Another little know game is Dooms series,best rpgmaker game imo

bomberman 64 (the video isn't too great but has lots of FOOTAGE)


i used to be a HUGE bomberman fan and i remember i was looking forward to this game before it was out. when it came out it was actually good however many people did not think this. what's really amazing to me is how much STUFF there was to do in the game. every level you play you maybe only see something like 50% of it, but to get all the GOLD CARDS you need to look around and do puzzles. the gold card thing isn't stupid either, because getting them all unlocks an entire new level (there are 5 normal levels, and the hidden one). if you do everything the game is probably 25 hours long. in addition to the single player being good the multiplayer was also pretty good as you would expect from a bomberman game. from what i know bomberman is basically some retarded anime bullshit game now, this was probably the last GOOD bomberman game.

the game isn't the greatest thing ever, but it's a lot better than people gave it credit for.
