Old games you loved but no one else did?

I used to love a game called Time Tunnel on the C64. I never knew what the hell I was meant to be doing but I just loved the isolated feeling of the game. Maybe one day I'll revisit it and try and complete it.

Also, another game I really loved playing and I still do is Rags to Riches, also on the C64. Again, I've never completed this game as I can't find an end as such to it. But it keeps me occupied when I'm bored.

Another Game I loved that didn't get any respect in my circles was Quedex and one other that was a fav just for me was Nemesis the Warlock.

Some not very talked about C64 games that I played a lot include

R.I.S.K. (an excellent Choplifter-esque shoot'em'up)
Vampire (Great budget horror platform game)
Draconus (Budget platform game with great atmosphere)
Gothic (A bit like Druid)
Magnetron (Sort of an isometric Paradroid, sequel to Quazatron)
Rebounder (Fun ball bouncing/shooting game, sequel to Bounder)
Asterix (mostly for the music)
Mediator (a strange older game. How do you get past the screen with the apple tree, after you've assembled the yellow horse thingie?)

I went ape-shit over Ooga Booga on the DC.

One of the best games I ever played. So fucking fun... no one else seemed to get it, however. No one I knew, at least. It had this surreality about that was just so beautiful...

omg, Skyroads!!! My friends and I spent a lot of time trying to beat that. I don't think I ever did, but I got pretty far. I'll have to give it another go now.

I have that and loved it.

So well balanced, such a good sense of humour, very fast, very fun, tons of unlockable masks/players and multi-player! Classic, even with the longevity issues and slightly awkward difficulty curve when you first start out.

My one line review: multi-player tick with weapons and pig vehicles and a cracking sense of humour

NTSC seem to have missed the point a bit with a 6/10:

Back to my surreality bit, though... you ever get launched WAY out into the shallow sea, and then look back at the island where all that mahem is going on? The dark skies, the distant violence... it's beautiful moments like that in a game that I never forget.

Oh yes. Some of the little critters really used to freak me out. Sometimes I would have my arse kicked so hard and fast that it would leave me grinning like a buffoon from ear to ear.

I really need to play this again.

Oh man PLEASE PM ME IF YOU KNOW THIS GAME!

I barely remember this game but it was the SH$% heh it was I remember playing it in my 3rd grade class(1993-1999<-- don't remeber but in this range) during recess. I played this game on an IMAC COMPUTER- MACINTOSH.

it's a 2D platform and your this disc

there are items that you can put on your guy to kill these enemies on each level - i.e. there is this one that puts spikes on your guy so it spins around and kills anything that comes in contact

You can also shoot bullet like objects to kill the enemy

The goal is to collect these stars or something to goto the next level (there is a exit but has this force field that repels your circular ship), I'm not sure but there might be a specific order

There are like 3 lives and you can collect cherry bombs which destroy's the enemies on that level- but more can pop-up as time progresses

ohh Also enemies come up every couple seconds from the sides I think and there can only be a certain amount of those enemies in view at a time

This is a 2D screen and it DOES NOT scroll

This is what I remember.
Also I am not 100% sure or 50% sure but I think the game title had "cow" in it.

Thanks a lot everybody! PM me if you know what I am talking about and post it here
and if possible a website would be great!
MACINTOSH
btw I am running a Mac Mini-all stock stuff 1.42GB , 256MB RAM, CD-RW, 80GB HD.

Anyone ever tried Hypa-Ball on C64?

It ROCKED!
And no-one remembers it.
Or does someone?

I had(have?) this thing about Crazy Kong (Interceptor) on the C= 64. The second level was smart I thought.
Since then I have been looking for good DK games, but all were inferior clones (happy to be proved wrong). I've been thinking about getting the recent Mario VS DK (?) on GBA if The Price Is Right.

Now, what I _really_ wanted was a DK Jr game, but I never found any official version nor any clones of it on my C= 64.
