[Closed] underrated computer games.

I remember now, the IGN game was "Project IGI" (I'm going in), major lack of save points (none[!] mid level) was very fustrating but meant you 'had' to get it right!

Oh yeah, Syndicate. The first computer game with advertising built into the game IIRC.

Gunship 2000! I have spent a significant amount of money trying unsuccesfully to find a modern helicopter game that provides a similar experience.

Spy Hunter - from codemasters on the 48k.

I'm pretty sure my old neighbour in Darras Hall was the writer of Knight Lore (spelling) - went on to make Driver and Stuntman.

James Pond - company who released it had the code at the start that you could collect the fruit in a certain order and unlock the whole game.

Martian Memoradndum -

Kings Quests, Police Quests and Space Quests.

4D Boxing.

Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now. Fantastic title, fantastic game. Totally inappropriate, but so much fun.

And that rare thing, a game which din't involve shooty killy death and destruction...

(Goes off to fire up old iMac in OS9....)

Project IGI was great. Shooting people through walls never gets old.

Laser Squad on the Amstrad.

This. Close the file.

I've got the PC version somewhere, actually. Might have to dig that out.

Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now. Fantastic title, fantastic game. Totally inappropriate, but so much fun.

Written by a good mate of mine, that.

This evening fell into a big Spectrum emulator hole...

Really? Get him to write a new version!

Iron Maiden soundtrack FTW!

😀

So everyone knows manic miner, JSW - but did anyone play Technician Ted? Pyar fiendish game, with a wee bit of social commentary layered on top.

If you want to talk sad, I actually watched the five part walkthrough a while back 😳

Dyanmite Dan was another impossible platformer from around the same time.

i am playing syndicate jst now

D-Fend Reloaded lets you play dos games in win 7

Tech Ted is just about the most difficult game ever. And the loading screen is genius.

for me it was chucky egg,revenge of shinobi,bomberman.

this is more addictive than crack (not that i take/condone drug taking in any shape/form e.t.c 😉

am just starting to replay this again (collecting those agility orbs is like gameing msg 😀

Not sure if it was underrated or not although there are plenty of folk Iknow who've never heard of it, I nominate

Tenchu:Stealth Assassins

Sorry, no picture as i'm posting from a ps3

For current games, Europa Universalis 3 is quite underrated.

Not underrated at all, but one of my favourite games ever, is Day Of The Tentacle.

Treasure Island Dizzy for the Atari ST - class!

OIDS on the ST was my fave back in the day

got it on my mac at the moment and still holds up (I'd play the heck out of a remake of this on the 360)
