    I actually played Bishi Bashi. At first I thought it was a vertical shooter but turned out to be a party game.

    Two great games that went under the radar are:


    -Hey You Pickachu. I own it and its lots of fun. Now you might be thinking that there is Seaman for the DC but I know a lot of people who own that game and not many people own the N64. On top of that, its is a fun game.

    -Worms World Party (or any of the worm games). Sorry but those party games you guys listed aren't as fun as this one. What's great about World Party in particular is that its VERY addictive and easy to play. On top of that, the worms curse at you if you screw your turn, etc. Another great feature is that it can be played in multiple languages.

    MDK2: It may be incredibly hard, but it is still a blast to play and has great graphics.

    EGG: A hand drawn RPG with a similar gameplay style to Zelda.

    A first I thought Undercover Kei was a load of crap. Then one day I threw it back on since I had nothing new and found myself enjoying it. sadly I got near the end of the game with hardly no life and no weapons apart from the batton and have to face that tall skin headed guy in the great maze type room. I just can't kill him because after 2 hits I'm dead :Hangman:

    Yes, Re Volt on DC is great. I loved the N64 version, and couldn't wait to grab the DC one. It is still a very fun game, reminding me of an updated R.C. ProAm.

    One of my all time fav games is Sqoon. A classic shooter, with great scenery, great game play, and very challenging levels. If any game deserves a re-release or remake it's Sqoon. One of the best Fami/NES games.

    DD, Sky Gunner and Victorious Boxer are all great games. I believe there is a sequel either out or coming out soon for Victorious Boxer.
    R-type final is definetly on my to get list.
    Tetris 64 with the pulse sensor looks great. Does it work well?
    Speaking of Rent a Hero no.1 did the Xbox port ever come out?(in english)

    NESness

    Well, NES is my thang mainly...though I haven't bough a game in ages...nothing good round here...so...I'll list some NES games.

    Anticipation - Rareware's awesome board game. 4 Players, Huge party Fun...except when I'm around...I'm too damn good...

    Legendary Wings - Capcom Vertical Shooter -Funfunfunfun

    Jackal --2 Jeeps, 2 players, rocking fun, though short.

    Super Dodge Ball -Though this has gotten noticed more lately...its a majorly awesome game that a lot of people don't know about.

    Life Force - Aka Salamander in the arcades...one of those fantastic Gradius series offshoots. So much fun, Is can'ts gets enoughs....

    Defender of the Crown- Cinemaware Classic...how many strategy/war games are there on the NES...not a ton!

    Hatris- It's the puzzle game...with hats...I don't know if I like the game...or the number of hilarious hats and heads to put them on...

    Ghosts & Goblins - Most people pay attention to the sequels on SNES and Genesis...but this one is still wicked fun...though stupidly hard.
