Dude, if i look on Ebay the chiki chiki boys are mostly sold (the cheapest i saw) for $50. I cannot even find it in marktplaats (dutch trade site for secondhandstuff) on the dutch Ebay it is mostly €30 euro but then you still need to pay for shipping (around €15 :( ) Anyway it is truly a hidden gem then since it is hard to find here in Holland.
Bio hazard battle is the most unique old school shooter out there. One of the best with a hard enough, but not too hard challenge. Never heard of socket though. Was is a U.S. release only?
dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last weeks :)
Garfield has been the last Genesis game of my youth. It was a Christmas present and I still clearly remember every detail of that evening. We were quite poor so a brand new game was an event. I was so impressed by the smooth animations and the movie based themes of the levels. Still one of my fondest memories. Remember to make your kids happy while they are young.
My favorite hidden gems are Gley Lancer (a really great STG with quite impressive cutscenes and graphics, made by the same guys behind Cho Aniki) and Ranger X, a really nice action game with great graphics and music.
Dude, Light Crusader is a true "hidden gem". I can't believe more people haven't played this. LOVE the soundtrack! I'm going to start the Light Crusader Awareness Foundation.
i totally agree SlyBeast...the Green Row theme is my absolute favorite theme from that game...along with the primitive dungeon theme, and also the goblin theme and the Ending Credits music...aki hata did a masterful job with this soundtrack...in my opinion,it was her best work.
I just recently went back and beat Light Crusader.. that was hard.... it's a Gem for sure... but older games were impossible back in the day... "Answer the Riddle!"
That's actually one of the two games I own from his list, the other being Sonic Spinball, though I haven't played Light Crusader that much, cause I wanted to change the battery out before diving in to deep, wouldn't want to get halfway through and have my save wipe because of the battery dying.
I'd say this is a real hidden gems video, because even though I own two of those games and have tried a few of the others, the ones I haven't seen aren't ridiculously priced like most of the games I've seen in other people's hidden gems videos, thanks for that. Now I have some interesting games to ad to my want to try list, that might actually be obtainable.
Such an amazing list. I am always looking for new, colorful platformers to try out on the system and they are very rare on these types of videos. Quackshot is on my Top 10 list for sure. I remember playing it in an after-school studying center. I reach a certain spot and then some other kid would turn it off and put another game in the console, while I had to do my homework with the teachers there. Could never beat it back then. I wonder if you have ever heard about a game called Pulseman? I believe it is an amazing and high-quality platformer for the Genesis, which is highly unknown due to it being a Japan only release. It is 2 MB sized game, which speaks for how much it pushes the limits of the hardware. 🐱💻💕
This Gunner's Mate 2nd Class, served 99'-03', the Sega Nomad was a life saver, two deployments with Might and Magic a gateway to another world version. with a game genie your set for those long 30+ day's underway way. Thank you Shawn. The Sega 6 pack was very important then as well. Good memories. contra hard corps was virtually impossible to beat.
garfield caught in the act was a really fun game, me and my brother did a bit of co-op on my channel and we loved it. really nice and old games from our childhood.
I've dug Zero Tolerance since I was a kid. The bullet holes, blood splatter, sound the aliens make when you roast them like a marshmallow and elevator music in the elevators give it a bunch of charm.
A lot of hidden gems videos on YT but this is a nice pick. I didn't even know a few of these games, like Socket, Bio-hazard battle, Weapon Lord. Thanks for the discovery, man. Gonna give them a try on my modded PSP right now.
my hidden gems: Ex-Mutants Dynamite Headdy Splatterhouse 3 Contra Hard Corps Robocop vs Terminator Alien Soldier Trouble Shooter Pac Man 2 New Adventures Tiny Toons Busters Hidden Treasure Atomic Runner Wings of Wor
Some other awesome ones IMO: _Cyborg Justice_ A beat-em-up with mechs that lets you literally RIP OFF enemies' body parts and attach them to yourself. 'Nuff said. _Death Duel_ A fascinating first-person "duel" game in which you must face off against a variety of opponents ranging from dragons to robots. The gameplay is sort of like a light-gun shooter, except you can freely sidestep left and right. What's especially cool about it is that you can BLOW OFF YOUR OPPONENT'S LIMBS, which actually hinders them in unique ways! I've never played anything quite like it. _Home Alone_ A surprisingly good movie-game that has you cruising around the neighborhood on your sled, booby trapping houses and crafting your own weapons. Yes, a Genesis game with a CRAFTING system! How often do you see that? _Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter_ A criminally underrated beat-em-up with awesome boss battles that play out like a fighting game (ala Street Fighter). Don't pass this one up! _The Ooze_ An ingenius top-down game in which you play as a puddle of ooze, gobbling up enemies to become larger and more powerful. The ooze "physics" are really cool to watch, and something else that sets the game apart is that it has no HUD whatsoever (the ooze itself basically represents your health/armor).
I'm glad your list is different from the hundreds of people that put the same stuff! As for hidden gems, I was going to say Spot Goes to Hollywood but then I just remembered about Strider.
Those are some Excellent titles, that look like a blast of fun. I need to beef up the Genisis collection and try to find them. RGT, have a relaxing Sunday night n great start to the new week.
I loved the game general Chaos as my personal hidden gem. My brothers was Super Baseball 2020. He later on in life went to a prospect camp as well drafted by a division 1 college for baseball. So his game of choice was no big surprise. Honorable mentions Decap Attack.
Some great games ! I was always impressed with how far the developers pushed the 16-bit consoles back in the day. Games like Gunstar Heroes on Genesis , Street Fighter Alpha 2 on SNES are truly amazing feats of programming considering the hardware they were on.
SFA2 on Snes used an extra chip though,if we count extras then Megadrive had Virtua Racing and Snes also had Doom,both games truly impressive and pushed them to their limits.
nice mix of genres...great list man. I cringe sometimes when "hidden gems" list pick games that most already know...but this one was awesome and friendly on the wallet!
Cool thing about the Sega Genesis is that there are several compilation collections on consoles like the PS2, PS3, XB360, Dreamcast and handhelds like the PSP which are very cost effective. I love the Sega Genesis Collection for the PSP & PS2 which has 28 games with save states plus some classic arcade games to unlock. Virtua Fighter 2 is in it. One of the games on the compilation collection that I never heard of before that I enjoyed is Decap Attack. Such a great platformer. I mostly play Shinobi 3, Comix Zone, Sonic 2 since it never gets old. Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is another good one for the PS3 & Xbox 360. It has 40+ games and trophies/achievement support which is awesome. Great hidden gems video RGT 85. Hoping to see some more hidden gems Genesis games. You should also do some video reviews of some Genesis compilation collections that I mentioned.
Nice pics. Quackshot & Light Crusader are good ones. I love Garfield. I just picked it up for just $2 CIB at the Midwest Gaming Classic. The graphics are top notch! I can't believe I never played it until now. $2 CIB!? That's the def of a hidden gem
I've watched quite a bit of your videos now. I love and hate you at the same time. After about 4 months....subscribed! Keep up the good work. I had the Genesis first myself. ^_^
Glad to see you mention zero tolerance. I got it at Goodwill years ago for a buck or two. I knew nothing about it and bought it just cuz it was cheap. After sitting on a shelf for a couple years I popped it in and I couldn't believe it. I didn't even think that kind of game was possible on the Genesis. But most shocking was I never heard of it. All my friends were sega guys and no one really knew of it back then.
As a kid living in Eastern Europe all I had in nineties was a famiclone or fleamarket-sega as we called it (cause the case was same as genesis, weird i know) like almost every other kid, but my friend had a genesis or "original sega" and i remember being blown away by it. I m pretty sure i played Quackshot from the games you listed here and the Garfield one looks great too... To this day i believe Genesis platformers are one of the peaks in gaming history.
First off, friggin' SWEET shirt, dude. Secondly, GREAT list; glad you're like me in that you can't stand these goddamn "hidden gem" lists that turn into "games you'll never afford" lists. Props for putting "Quackshot" and "Garfield: Caught In The Act" on there... two fantastic platformers that I own. Once again, great video!
Yes Garfield for the genesis! I'm glad you mentioned this game, I played it a lot as a kid and always loved the pirate level. I remember this game being pretty difficult though.
great timing dude, I literally just got a Genesis and it should be here tomorrow, I didn't have one growing up and the only game I'd play at my friend's house was SoR2 lol
Yep...Quackshot is one of the best Disney games on 16 bit. Such a satisfying game length, challenge level and playthrough. One of my top 5. In the era that Disney games were gold, this one was right up there with the best.
Zero tolerance was HUGE. the game went on for the forever. Could never be accused of being too short. I liked the lift that took you to different levels. The office fire level was cool. You had to find fire extinguishers to battle the flames and have dogs chasing you down. Stick to the walls best chance of survival. You run into open room.... keep running.
Virtua Fighter 2 for the Sega Genesis is not VF1 though. It just got the original 8 cast from VF1, everything else is from VF2 this includes all the stages, music, and the smoother graphical update unlike the blocky polygonal graphics from VF1. It also scrolls much smoother whereas VF1 doesn't scroll, it just change camera view.
Light Crusader rules, such a great game. I'm surprised it still has such a low price tag. Socket just got recommended to me by a buddy, who also recommended Biohazard Battle. I got Bio, but haven't checked out Socket, yet. Quack Shot looks rad and Garfield looks surprisingly good. Weaponlord kicks ass. Great video, man.
I'm the same - had Sega Genesis as a kid (Pretty sure I got it when I was 5 or 6, for Christmas. The one that came with Sonic 2.), then got the Super Nintendo when I was 11 or 12. I have Socket, and Weaponlord on the Sega Genesis. Pretty fun games! I especially liked the fighting/swordplay in Weaponlord, and the finishing moves. Some of them are brutal! You can chop off limbs, heads, etc. Unlike any other fighting game on Genesis.
AWESOME! Way to give Weapons Lord and Virtua Fighter 2 some props! Those games are truly underappreciated. Just when I thought I new about all the good Genesis games here you go giving me more to track down. I will definitely be looking for that Garfield game. The graphics look amazing. Reminds me of Tazmania which was another good Genesis game with great cartoon like graphics. I also think Burning Force is another Space Harrier type shooter that needs more love. Retro gaming s where it's at! Again well done!
Thank you! I grew up with the genesis as well only playing the snes at my cousins for tmnt 4 but I love the genesis it's hard to find good games cheap thank you! Looking forward to more genesis hidden gems videos!
Good list, ToeJam & Earl: Panic On Funkotron will always be my favorite, Earthworm Jim was great. I think Busby is a hidden gem as well as Ren & Stimpy
I'm surprised no one really talks about Greendog the beached surfer dude.. I love the game. good side scroll, great music, theme, graphics aren't bad. Definitely check it out. plus it's cheap!
my god Light Crusader is the shit....the music composed by aki hata still sends chills down my spine.and garfield caught in the act is another favorite of mine.sega is my number 1 console and i still play it 23 years later
Wow actually a list of hidden that some of them I didn't know about! Will definitely take a look at Light Crusader! Looks fun! I was also a Sega kid and I also got a Genesis on Christmas with 2 games: Sonic and King's Bounty! I played the hell out of the those games because I didn't get games all the time when I was a kid... ah different era! Great video and keep up the good work!
Battle Mania and Battle Mania: Daiginjou (or Trouble Shooter, if you prefer that). Great Forgotten Worlds style shmups, but really expensive and the second game is Japan exclusive.
Garfield was a great game for sure, and I need to play those you listed that are part of the Sega collection on Steam. For suggestions. Ranger X, Tinhead, and I think it was called Mickey and Donald Castle of Illusion. It was a platformer with co-op. Ranger X was my favorite, I never got a chance to own it sadly. Oh, and I don't hear much talk about it, so I'd say Toy Story. I hope that like Aladdin and Lion King there is a PC version that they can put up on GOG.
Bio-Hazard Battle is amazing! Great music, great graphics, and has a decent difficulty. I love this game. I probably mentioned before that I also loved Columns. It's probably my favorite puzzle type game, and the only one I was ever really good at.
Socket was a great game i didn´t know that i was going to enjoy it so much, i played sonic pinball, Garfield, Quake shot all great games. All recommended, please make another hidden gems theres alot of games!
Interesting. My choices: Atomic Runner Combat Cars Cosmic Spacehead Exile F-15 Strike Eagle II Formula One Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl Lemmings 2: The Tribes Liberty or Death New Horizons Operation Europe OutRunners P.T.O.: Pacific Theater of Operations Phantom 2040 Powerball Rampart Red Zone Rings of Power Rolo to the Rescue Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe Syndicate Target Earth Tinhead Top Gear 2 Tyrants: Fight Through Time Ultimate Qix Virtual Pinball Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits Wiz 'n' Liz
I definitely wanna check some of these out, though I've had Caught in the AC since I was a kid. Also, every time I play it, I get to the boss of the prehistoric world and he ends up just vanishing out of the screen, leaving me unable to finish the stage
two things about the price limit on the list [aka a list about a list]: 1) prices change all the time so it's not a great metric 2) if the price is high, doesn't that imply tons of people know about it/it's no longer hidden? Hidden games are cheap because no one knows what they have, right? Well, unless they've seen any TH-cam videos...
Yeah. Overpriced games on eBay etc would imply that they are not that forgotten or overlooked but it also implies that they are, as the rest of the public can't get their hands on them because the autistic, soyboy collectors and I.T. hipsters have stitched the market up. A real paradox.
Solid list homie! I need to pick up Socket. I'm glad Chiki Chiki Boys made the video.
Everyone go check out this channel!
Dude, if i look on Ebay the chiki chiki boys are mostly sold (the cheapest i saw) for $50. I cannot even find it in marktplaats (dutch trade site for secondhandstuff) on the dutch Ebay it is mostly €30 euro but then you still need to pay for shipping (around €15 :( )
Anyway it is truly a hidden gem then since it is hard to find here in Holland.
Bio hazard battle is the most unique old school shooter out there. One of the best with a hard enough, but not too hard challenge.
Never heard of socket though. Was is a U.S. release only?
dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last weeks :)
@Jacob Christopher yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)

"Remember to make your kids happy while they are young."
Planting seeds of future nostalgia.
I'm glad to see Quackshot get some love. It is my all-time favorite Genesis game, and hardly anyone talks about it.
For sure!
Just checked it out yesterday ... funny ... it is so good
I have quackshot double pack
I bought this at Babbages as a 10 year old back in 1994 based on nothing but the cover art. Man did I luck out!
Its one of those games I was stuck with as a kid. I always went back to it.
I've watched dozens of Genesis hidden gem videos so I was really surprised when this one had quite a few games I was unfamiliar with. Nice work
My favorite hidden gems are Gley Lancer (a really great STG with quite impressive cutscenes and graphics, made by the same guys behind Cho Aniki) and Ranger X, a really nice action game with great graphics and music.
Dude, Light Crusader is a true "hidden gem". I can't believe more people haven't played this. LOVE the soundtrack! I'm going to start the Light Crusader Awareness Foundation.

Special mention to the budget criterion because most hidden gems have become expensive.
Well done.

Garfield reminds me of the Disney style game adventures in the magical kingdom I believe it's called.
weapon lord reminds me of Time Killer's..
love all of your Sega console videos, from DC to Saturn, Genesis and CD.
I just discovered your channel after watching 150 in 1 review, now you've got a new video out! Thanks for the content man, very entertaining.
garfield caught in the act was a really fun game, me and my brother did a bit of co-op on my channel and we loved it. really nice and old games from our childhood.

WEAPON LORD!
Me and a friend BURNED up this game! we played it almost EVERY day after school!
Thanks RGT85
Great video. Turn it into a series. :)
Nice work! I learned about a couple games I didn't know, Chiki Chiki Boys and Weapon Lord.
Weaponlord is so good and cheap.
@@RGT85 Never heard of Socket. Was it a U.S release only?
my hidden gems:
Ex-Mutants
Dynamite Headdy
Splatterhouse 3
Contra Hard Corps
Robocop vs Terminator
Alien Soldier
Trouble Shooter
Pac Man 2 New Adventures
Tiny Toons Busters Hidden Treasure
Atomic Runner
Wings of Wor
Great list
Some other awesome ones IMO:
_Cyborg Justice_
A beat-em-up with mechs that lets you literally RIP OFF enemies' body parts and attach them to yourself. 'Nuff said.
_Death Duel_
A fascinating first-person "duel" game in which you must face off against a variety of opponents ranging from dragons to robots. The gameplay is sort of like a light-gun shooter, except you can freely sidestep left and right. What's especially cool about it is that you can BLOW OFF YOUR OPPONENT'S LIMBS, which actually hinders them in unique ways! I've never played anything quite like it.
_Home Alone_
A surprisingly good movie-game that has you cruising around the neighborhood on your sled, booby trapping houses and crafting your own weapons. Yes, a Genesis game with a CRAFTING system! How often do you see that?
_Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter_
A criminally underrated beat-em-up with awesome boss battles that play out like a fighting game (ala Street Fighter). Don't pass this one up!
_The Ooze_
An ingenius top-down game in which you play as a puddle of ooze, gobbling up enemies to become larger and more powerful. The ooze "physics" are really cool to watch, and something else that sets the game apart is that it has no HUD whatsoever (the ooze itself basically represents your health/armor).
I'm glad your list is different from the hundreds of people that put the same stuff! As for hidden gems, I was going to say Spot Goes to Hollywood but then I just remembered about Strider.

Quackshot was a fantastic game. In Europe, Castle of Illusion and Quackshot got a re-release on one cartridge. Now I'm off to play Quackshot!
Nice pics. Quackshot & Light Crusader are good ones. I love Garfield. I just picked it up for just $2 CIB at the Midwest Gaming Classic. The graphics are top notch! I can't believe I never played it until now. $2 CIB!? That's the def of a hidden gem
I've watched quite a bit of your videos now. I love and hate you at the same time. After about 4 months....subscribed! Keep up the good work. I had the Genesis first myself. ^_^

Great video. Have mostly seen your news oriented videos, and that format I'm not a fan of. But this blew me away. Good stuff
As a kid living in Eastern Europe all I had in nineties was a famiclone or fleamarket-sega as we called it (cause the case was same as genesis, weird i know) like almost every other kid, but my friend had a genesis or "original sega" and i remember being blown away by it. I m pretty sure i played Quackshot from the games you listed here and the Garfield one looks great too... To this day i believe Genesis platformers are one of the peaks in gaming history.

Thanks for watchin bud!
I remember having Chiki Chiki Boy's and loving the game all those year's ago, a true forgotten gem.
Sega is God, Sega is life.
Man thanks for the memory throw back with zero tolerance I had many fun hours on that game.
Yes Garfield for the genesis! I'm glad you mentioned this game, I played it a lot as a kid and always loved the pirate level. I remember this game being pretty difficult though.
great timing dude, I literally just got a Genesis and it should be here tomorrow, I didn't have one growing up and the only game I'd play at my friend's house was SoR2 lol
actually the only game I own right now is Zero Tolerance
Yep...Quackshot is one of the best Disney games on 16 bit. Such a satisfying game length, challenge level and playthrough. One of my top 5. In the era that Disney games were gold, this one was right up there with the best.
Zero tolerance was HUGE. the game went on for the forever. Could never be accused of being too short. I liked the lift that took you to different levels. The office fire level was cool. You had to find fire extinguishers to battle the flames and have dogs chasing you down. Stick to the walls best chance of survival. You run into open room.... keep running.
Back on my 8 and 16 bit kick. Great video true gems at great prices. Will be picking some up.
Virtua Fighter 2 for the Sega Genesis is not VF1 though. It just got the original 8 cast from VF1, everything else is from VF2 this includes all the stages, music, and the smoother graphical update unlike the blocky polygonal graphics from VF1.

glad to see biohazard battle finale on a list of gems! great list by the way.
Such great memories playing quackshot. Still one of my favourite games.
Very nice! Light Crusader looks great 👍 thanks for the upload!
This was a great list - you really found some gems that I had overlooked. Thanks.
alien soldier was a fantastic game. a real hidden gem.
One of the greatest games to be made. Incredibly innovative. Shameful it never got a physical American release.
@@retrosoul8770 I think it goes for a small fortune now.
Exactly, I own a reproduction of it from retrogamerandbackups.com
Glad to see Weaponlord get some love
Thank you! I grew up with the genesis as well only playing the snes at my cousins for tmnt 4 but I love the genesis it's hard to find good games cheap thank you! Looking forward to more genesis hidden gems videos!
Weaponlord was so great! Got it near the end of last year on Genesis. So metal!
'Toki' is a gem!!
glad I stumbled across this channel
The Sega Genesis was also my first system that I played, it's the system that I have the most games for right now.
Good list, ToeJam & Earl: Panic On Funkotron will always be my favorite, Earthworm Jim was great. I think Busby is a hidden gem as well as Ren & Stimpy
I'm surprised no one really talks about Greendog the beached surfer dude.. I love the game. good side scroll, great music, theme, graphics aren't bad. Definitely check it out. plus it's cheap!
great video dude I'll definitely be checking out a few of those.
my god Light Crusader is the shit....the music composed by aki hata still sends chills down my spine.and garfield caught in the act is another favorite of mine.sega is my number 1 console and i still play it 23 years later
Cool list. I've actually played Garfield.
Weaponlord was also on the Super Nintendo.
Wow actually a list of hidden that some of them I didn't know about! Will definitely take a look at Light Crusader! Looks fun!

Weaponlord looks amazing.
+James Campbell she is.
Good list. I absolutely love Weaponlord. I believe it is the only game on this list that was also available for the SNES.
quackshot is a great game. glad someone else noticed. defo gonna try out biohazard didn't know about it till now thanks.
This is a Great list! Some games that ive never heard of, which is rare! 😁
Light Crusader and Weaponlord. Great choices! I just never could get into sonic spinball though, and I've tried numerous times.
Great video! I've been wanting to expand my genesis collection!
Thanks dude, you are the first one to say sonic spinball is good game, which i totally agree. great video
Battle Mania and Battle Mania: Daiginjou (or Trouble Shooter, if you prefer that). Great Forgotten Worlds style shmups, but really expensive and the second game is Japan exclusive.
nice list, good games on here
Garfield was a great game for sure, and I need to play those you listed that are part of the Sega collection on Steam.
For suggestions. Ranger X, Tinhead, and I think it was called Mickey and Donald Castle of Illusion. It was a platformer with co-op. Ranger X was my favorite, I never got a chance to own it sadly. Oh, and I don't hear much talk about it, so I'd say Toy Story. I hope that like Aladdin and Lion King there is a PC version that they can put up on GOG.
Bio-Hazard Battle is amazing! Great music, great graphics, and has a decent difficulty. I love this game. I probably mentioned before that I also loved Columns. It's probably my favorite puzzle type game, and the only one I was ever really good at.
Sonic Spinball, that is one of those rare games that I suck at (don't think i can pass the second level) but is still lots of fun to play anyway.
Great List Dude! I Love Your Sega Videos And I Am A Sega Fan That Has A Sega Genesis and 80 Something Games For My Genesis.
Great video!!
I remember playing zero tolerance as a little kid and being scared shitless, something about that game at the time was very spooky to me.
Socket was a great game i didn´t know that i was going to enjoy it so much, i played sonic pinball, Garfield, Quake shot all great games. All recommended, please make another hidden gems theres alot of games!
Empire of Steel/Steel Empire might be considered a hidden gem, no-one seems to discuss it and it's a fun shooter.
Hmm not too familiar with that one
It's fairly forgotten nowadays. Nothing special, certainly not a gem.
Bio hazard battle is something special though.
Have you played Mr Nutz? That is probably my favorite Genesis game. So underrated, imo.
Wish there was a list in the description. Couple titles here I'll have to try for sure. Thx

awesome video! Can you do a Sega Saturn Hidden gym video?
All systems will (eventually) be done! lol
ken Hudson wasn't the entire Saturn library a hidden gem?
I think that another game that you should play is Ranger X, one of my favorite lost gems from the Sega Genesis
dammit, why did I know Garfield was going to make this list.
John Riggs: RIGG'd Games stfu bitch
John Riggs and Metal Jesus are the kings of Hidden Gems! Time to play some Landstalker!
Good video, have you ever played Alien Storm? That was my favorite Genesis game outside of Sonic.
That's a good one for sure
So you didn't get a Snes - Hey thats no Biggie .. oh wait your shirt says otherwise !
- Yeh I make jokes
I always say that the Dreamcast's entire library is a hidden gem. lol.
One personal favorite is Rocket Knight Adventures.
I definitely wanna check some of these out, though I've had Caught in the AC since I was a kid.
Also, every time I play it, I get to the boss of the prehistoric world and he ends up just vanishing out of the screen, leaving me unable to finish the stage
REally? Strange!
The craziest part is, I even tried giving the game a run last year and it happened again D: I wonder if I just got a bad cart
weaponlord looks beast. Definitely gotta check it out
Jonathan Goode
It's fun. You will kill some hours with it.
Jonathan Goode it has a high learning curve, but it is 1 of the deepest fighting games you will ever play.
good picks rgt awesome channel just subbed man great channel BIG SHAWN
That shirt is so awesome man.
I love sonic spin ball I've had it since I was a kid just a good game to play have fun for half hr to hr a lot of ppl hate on it for some reason tho
two things about the price limit on the list [aka a list about a list]:
1) prices change all the time so it's not a great metric
2) if the price is high, doesn't that imply tons of people know about it/it's no longer hidden? Hidden games are cheap because no one knows what they have, right? Well, unless they've seen any TH-cam videos...
Yeah. Overpriced games on eBay etc would imply that they are not that forgotten or overlooked but it also implies that they are, as the rest of the public can't get their hands on them because the autistic, soyboy collectors and I.T. hipsters have stitched the market up.
A real paradox.
Nice shirt man!
I like Chiki Chiki boys and Bio Hazard Battle a lot.
Bio Hazard Battle I still play from time to time
