I remember playing a computer game where you're a anthromorphic bug fighting against ants and rescuing ladybugs, but apparently it wasn't called Bug Kingdom, because I can't find anything on the game I'm talking about from searching "bug kingdom game". There's also this: [t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/62/Ty_the_Tasmanian_Tiger_Coverart.jpg[/t]
[IMG]http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/0/0/2/2002_front.jpg[/IMG] The cut-scenes were amazing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIWSjJ0WUJo[/media]
Machines: Wired for War [IMG]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Machines_Coverart.JPG[/IMG] Near one of the first fully 3D rts games, and a very underrated one. I don't think I've really seen anyone else play this. Its super fun, albeit some pathfinding problems with the AI.

[QUOTE=IntenseBarney;46646732][t]http://www.emuparadise.me/fup/up/150867-TimeSplitters_-_Future_Perfect_(USA)-1.jpg[/t] NO-ONE I KNOW HAS PLAYED THIS FUCKING WHY[/QUOTE] You've nailed it. Timesplitters is like the ultimate. Used to play bots on TS2 with my mate and it was just bliss.

[QUOTE=Eva-1337;46616496][t]http://gamefiles.alphacoders.com/boxart/original/front/2083-1.jpg[/t] Recently rediscovered the name of this one. I remember really liking this game.[/QUOTE] I have that game in the box and everything!

Must have been around 1999, everyone had a ps1 or n64, but we still had a sega master system 2 had loads of fun with it tho.

[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;46648954]Armored Core is a very underrated and underplayed series as a whole. So few people I've ever met have played a single game from the franchise, or even heard of it. If anyone's ever played Chromehounds, it's kinda like that, though with more bipedal humanlike mechs (but there are quad-legged and tank types too) and a bit more speed in later games. Same developer, as well. (From Software)[/QUOTE] Old armored core games were boss. They just haven't been as good after the AC2 series though. For Answer was a shit ton of fun but most don't consider it a traditional AC game.
Does anyone remember these? Sadly I only played the demos and never got the full games.

I recently dug out my copies and played them, still so much fun. [t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/06/Voodoo_Vince_US_front.jpg[/t] Another one of my favorite games that unfortunately wasn't backwards compatible to the 360. I've got the soundtrack around somewhere, its great.
Guardian's Crusade. I find it so hard to remember the name I google "ps1 knight game" and thank fuck it's the 3rd result for me. But that game was the first RPG I ever played and I think it was a brilliant introduction. RPGs are something I find very hard to get into nowadays for some reason.
[img]http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/6/69686/2373011-dsshot13big.gif[/img] Probably the first PC game I went out and bought with my own pocket money. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/ff/Dominant_species_pc_game.jpg[/img] Also, [img]http://livingwithanerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/deadlock-planetary-conquest-title-screen.jpg[/img] Fuckin' love Deadlock. Went without playing it for years and years until GoG, god bless 'em, provided a version of the game that can run on modern systems.

[editline]6th December 2014[/editline] Nevermind I found it, it's gotcha force.

[QUOTE=Stizzles;46652678] [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7c/WOTM.jpg/256px-WOTM.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I had a friend who I used to live pretty far away from. Whenever we met up we'd rent that game from Blockbuster. It was so fucking good. [img]http://images.multiplayer.it/thumbs/images/2009/08/03/dtd1x01x12x04.vqtmw_jpg_300x300_q85.jpg[/img]
[t]http://puu.sh/djk8V.png[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/djkq7.png[/t] Most games I played as a kid can't be said to be "hidden gems", first I ever played was Doom on uncle's ancient pc. It seemed scary back then.

I searched for the game everywhere and never found it :(
