I liked everything about Spec Ops except for the gameplay. It was so generic.

Landstalker. Sega's version of Zelda was great, but never another entry in the series.

None of my friends really knew about it or wanted to play it if I ever brought it around. But then again, I'm from a small town. None of my classmates really knew about things like Sonic Youth either.

Not a fan of this approach. YouTube clips for these games make for the best boarding experience.

I wondered if Uniracers would get a mention in here. That was a frequent rental when my brothers and I were young. I remember having a sore thumb from pressing so hard on the d-pad to try to win some of those races.

Anyone ever play Wiz 'n' Liz? My cousins had that one on the Genesis. Trippy little arcade style game that was a lot of fun with some interesting and some downright weird secrets locked away in it.

Xenophobe:

Ikari Warriors II:

Tiger Heli:

3D World Runner (you could change the graphic settings and play with 3D glasses):

Kid Niki: Radical Ninja:
