    This needs to become a series, most of those channels are mostly concerned with the hardware side of things which is cool, but I love getting recommendations for games to try out since I was basically a DOS kid and I don't know many retro games apart from top 10 lists or hidden gem lists. Personal favorites are just a little well more personal.

    @Arcade1983 2 месяца назад +1

    I have 2 for you, not sure if they're hidden gems but I know I don't see anyone talking about them.
    1. SNES - Vortex - This was one of the first SuperFX chip games that came out on the SNES and it a really cool 3D game that has you in a vehicle that can shift into different things like a plane, a robot a car that sort of thing. Graphics look pretty cool for a SNES game and I feel like they were going for the "Open World" idea, but of course couldn't really impliment it.
    2. Genesis - Warlock - Though this game is an adoption from a terrible horror flick, I really enjoy the puzzles that requires you solve. I like the well shaded background and the music is a bit eerie. The druid character you play is super versitle and it just a good side scrolling puzzle game.
    Great work getting everyone together on this!

    My hidden gem is
    'Record of Lodoss War' on Dreamcast. From my understanding, it strays from the lore of the anime in order to better service what it is, a really good Diablo clone. In fact, the best on any consoles of that generation, if you ask me.

I recommend that game to people all the time and rarely does anyone take me up on checking it out. I hope this video gets more people to play it. It's an awesome Dragon Warrior/Early Final Fantasy wannabe and does it's own things, including hidden loot, areas, dungeons etc. Absolutely a treasure of an early JRPG.

    One hidden gem is on DOS ... "Archimedean Dynasty" (original German name "Schleichfahrt") ... it's an Wing Commander style post apocalyptic sub marine fighting jets game with an amazing atmosphere and story (with video story telling). It's an action shooter with strategic elements. It runs very well on Dosbox and also on RetroArch fully stretched on my RGB30. (cheap available on GOG)

    Enjoyed the video. Final Lap Twin is definitely something I'm gonna enjoy as a fan of Lamborgini American Challenge for the SNES, but with betting instead of a set amount to be paid for loosing. I'd say katamari damacy is probably the least hidden gem on the list here. It kinda blew up because of the absurdity in early online stuff at the time. You could roll a ball up and pick up people. It was shocking to people. Very fun game though. Highly suggest.

    If Tech Dweeb got piled on for Wild Guns, it's only fair we rake Retro Dad over the coals for thinking Katamari Damacy was hidden.

    Whoa! I had that capture the flag game on our pc when I was younger. I played it a lot!
    Later when we had a newer PC, I played mainly rage: incoming and total annihilation ^^

    Apocalypse was a fun game with Bruce Willis, another like it also on PS1 is the game ONE. The vibration on some guns was pretty nuts, btw anyone playing on Odin 2 when the game starts up in Duckstation it starts as a digital controller like some PS games did so just toggle the analog/digital mode in settings to get the proper twin shooting instead of the face buttons, also you need to enable vibration in Duckstation in the touchscreen settings on Odin.

    My favorite hidden gem was Take-Two Interactive's 1996 FMV DOS game RIPPER. It has Christopher Walken, Paul Giamati, Blue Oyster Cult, Cyberpunk, puzzles, B movie acting, and the type of PG-13 story that made me feel super cool to be playing it as a teen.

    Not as hidden as it use to be but Soul Blazer on the SNES. Still one of my favorite games to this day.

    As I am finishing the video, Capture the Flag is an amazing game! I remember playing it as a kid! I emulated it a few years back, but now want to see if I can get it working on an Odin 2 🤔

    This is such an excellent idea. Great collaboration from some of my favorite content creators. Maybe you can get Retro Game Guy in on the action. One of my favorite hidden gems was Crusader No Remorse. It was a DOS game with a very interesting perspective. I was sucked in by the box art, fortunately it was a really fun game.

    Amazing stuff, my good Dweeb. Always look forward to a new video and even more so when a multitude of my other favorite Retro RUclipsrs are included!
    Small nitpick with the editing -- when Zu is talking about DQVII, there's an insert of an image of DQVIII. Not sure if that was on your end or his end, but for the sake of being an absolute alpha nerd, I felt the need to bring it to your attention. 😅

    Great idea and great video, thanks for putting this together. My hidden gem is "It's Mr. Pants" for the GBA which is an amazing puzzle game made by Rare and published by THQ. I feel like i never hear anybody mention it, but it's one of my favorite Tetris-ish puzzle games on any system. It's almost like a reverse Tetris.. you place blocks to clear the board. Good stuff.
