Brainlord was part of a trilogy, but it was a trilogy that never could settle on a genre, Brainlord was the only action RPG in it.
It's the only Zelda-like game that I felt was comparable to LttP, it had fun combat and puzzles. Too bad they never continued to refine on it.

We have a thread up already (>>10712392), but my choice's the same.
Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin likely doesn't count, as it's a licensed IP that got tons of video games, but that's my issue, this specific title was superb, probably the 1st one to ever get the character in it right, and then all it got was an enhanced SEGA CD version, there were plans for a sequel, but it got scrapped in favor of X-Men, nothing against the X-Men... but man, a sequel would've rocked.

I mean, all we got for Spider-Man after that until the Neversoft 3D title in 2000 were beat 'em ups that barely felt like the character and were just mediocre at best, or awful action platformers.

All of the titles that felt like they could've got a bit of the magic in this one, like Spider-Man TAS, Web of Fire, Arcade's Revenge... were just awful to play, we needed Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin 2.

If I remember correctly, the SNES version and Arcade version of this game trade blows in terms of visual/audio aesthetic so much that there's not really a definitive version of the game. Sad, since it has a lot of nice visual flair distributed across both versions.

It did get a novel, at least.
But there were supposed to be more games in this world.
But it didn't sell well, despite critical acclaim and being the most innovative FPS to ever exist.
I won't wax poetic about how incredible it was, just know that the devs made a multiplayer patch but weren't allowed to release it, and it might have meant we were all playing this instead of Tribes. This also had tactical squad-based combat 3+ years before rainbow six and sprawling open environments that wouldn't be matched until MAYBE something like serious sam.

Drill Dozer was gimmicky enough to have sequels using the hardware quirks of other consoles, like the DS' double screen, the Wii's controller and more. Too bad Game Freak plays it safe by churning out nothing but Pokémon games. On that note, I'd love a Pulseman sequel someday...
