inb4 cease and desist

OP, all that info you want is unrealistic. So I'm just gonna post some good games with brief info on em. OK?
I'm mostly gonna post what I see as under appreciated games, and not ultra obscure shit.

Alundra. Basically the best AlttP rip off ever made. Definately worth it if you're a zelda fanatic and want something new.

N20. It's a tempest like game, but with morphing 3D levels and an OST by the crystal method.

Spider, the videogame. It's a sidescrolling platformer where you control a cybernetic spider. It's as interesting as it sounds, and hard as balls.

Evil Zone. Kind of a "meh" fighting game i terms of mechanics, but with a good cast, fast action and oddball (anime inspired) story for every character.

Trap Gunner. Basically powerstone, but not really. It's expensive now, but a great game.

Loaded. A top down shooter with tons of gore and tons of shit to shoot at.

Spawn the eternal. Definately not for everyone, and rightfully called bad by many gamers. However I find it's charm to be worth experiencing. Just avoid combat as much as you can, and it's a half decent exploration game.

Not sure what's unrealistic, you definitely don't have to have ALL the info, just submit what you can. In any event, thanks for contributing!

>Alundra. Basically the best AlttP rip off ever made. Definately worth it if you're a zelda fanatic and want something new.
I've seen footage of this. Is it really as Sokoban-style puzzle driven as it looks? That's just about the only type of puzzle I don't like.

>>4944708
You sound suspiciously like you're wanting to be spoonfed info for an article/youtube vid you're working on.
>>4944749
None of those are hidden or obscure, they all got major press coverage and have been spoken about ad nauseum. This is why these threads are always shit.

many older consoles DO have hidden gems. psx is not one of them.

psx does have a decent library, with many great games. however, the good ones are all well known and all have some sort of cult following.

Just recommend some fucking games. Jesus Christ.

Yeah fuck off.

Hidden gems are either one of two things.

Popular game that everyone played but you didnt for some reason.

Slightly less popular game.

MOst of the "Super rare" "hidden gems" like Rule of Rose are actualyl fucking terrible games.

>>4947774
rule of rose is the worst game by that dude actually, and it's still pretty cool. he did chulip and little king's story and both of those are great. also did the dungeons for romancing saga 2.

>>4947798
>guy did other good shit
Doesn't mean anything when we're talking about Rule of Rose being shit.

>>4947774
What about Popful Mail, Shantae, and Wendy (which no one bought because it looks like shovelware)?

>>4947807
rule of rose is a genuinely interesting game tho

>>4947880
interesting != good

A good concept, wrapping in an awful game.

Wild 9. Was a lot of fun back in the day and appealed to the 90s radical gore demographic. Pretty fun platformer.
Lucky Luke.
Devil Dice.
That's all I can think of that isn't horribly popular or over rated.

I want you to know, I'm taking a huge risk posting these as Metal Jesus™ might get word of this thread and sue the pants off of me. I wan't to make clear that these are not Hidden Gems™ but simply lesser known games that I found enjoyable.

I don't get the Metal Jesus/Cease&Desist jokes.

>>4948026
Same except I don't get any of the "named anon" jokes. Unlike what /vr/ claims, I actually don't follow that stuff so I'm very lost on what exactly they're mocking. Don't explain because I'm here to talk about games not people who happen to be popular because of games.

Wizardry 4. You can play the ball-bustingly difficult Wizardry game with actual colors, although it still looks kind of bad. Probably the most difficult RPG ever made, don't play it.

Sorry but I have to. Metal Jesus is a youtuber. He's has ok content, but is very shilly and annoying at times. Most people are butt hurt because they attribute rising game prices to his "hidden gems" videos. I managed to catch one hidden gem video, went on ebay and bought every copy (5 of them) CIB of airblade for like $5-15. Resold them a week later for $30-40 each. The price now is down to pre-Metal Jesus levels, but there's no denying his retro stuff has helped the prices go up simply through making lesser known games more well known. Youtube is an echo chamber, so once he covers someone, all the popular youtubers do too, so the price goes up. This effects sold listings and pricecharting.com and such, so the price stays high.

Can someone post that mspaint meme of metal jesus and his hidden gems? It's so great.

>not understanding supply and demand

If you are patient and wait for something that isn't particularly rare to go down in price, it will. Eventually people will realize their copies of some best-selling game from a big name publisher aren't worth $75+ and will drop the price slowly until it sells.

>>4944708
Every time I post a game in a thread like this it jumps up in price from a few dollars to $100-300+ so, no, sorry, I'm done with threads like this. And the rest of you anons should be careful too, especially anyone posting "japnese-only games playable with minimum japanese knowledge."

Your loss then idiot

Mole Mania for the Gameboy

Mole Mania is a top down puzzle game. You play as Muddy Mole and you have to go save your wife and children who have been kidnapped by some evil farmer named Jinbe. There are 8 stages which contain 20-40 rooms presented a bit like a zelda dungeon. At the end of each stage is a boss fight.
To clear a room you have to push/throw a big black ball into the door. The gameplay is similar to the Adventures of Lolo for the NES.
The hook is Muddy Mole is able to dig underground. Every room has an above ground and below ground screen, usually both of which you will need to use to clear a room. This makes for some pretty tricky puzzles.

This is one of the best games for the original gameboy. It has a satisfying but challenging difficulty curve but levels 2-7 can be completed out of order if you wish. The music is great and catchy. There is a pretty wide variety of enemies. The boss fights are creative and unique.
Miyamoto was the producer on this game and it shows.

This game went completely under everybody's radar because in Japan it was released only a few months after Pokemon, so it was understandably overlooked. Everywhere else it was released in early 1997, a while after the N64 was released. The original gameboy was pretty much dead by then.
I don't think it got much marketing either.

The only reason I can see anybody disliking this game is if they really don't like puzzle games. The rooms near the end begin to get pretty brutal too.

>>4955395
P.S
I'm not making a whole thread for a game most people haven't played. This thread is close enough. I don't care that this thread is for PS1 games. Play this game, its fucking great.

>>4954478
In my opinion it’s the aesthetic, story, and amount of rewards you get for exploring. The difficult of the puzzles as well is just the right amount of frustrating and satisfying.
I’d also suggest landstalker if you like alundra

Hover racing for best futuristic racing.
