Knight Lore was a beloved classic that invented a video game genre and had endless ripoffs and now people don't care about it anymore solely because it wasn't on the Nintendo.

I remember making it to some level where I had to jump on clouds and some enemies kept jumping out of the water.

When was the last time you saw somebody say Primal Rage is their favorite fighting game?

It was though, in Japan.

I'm sensing a pattern.

>>12476709
To be fair, I don't think Primal Rage was ever really celebrated for being a groundbreaking fighting game. As somebody who enjoyed it as a kid, I liked the theme, graphics, characters, setting, story (or whatever tidbits I managed to glean from a friend who had it on PC), and secrets. The actual fighting was quite honestly secondary. That's not to say I didn't enjoy playing it, but my affinity for the game was absolutely bolstered by those other elements.

chat is this true?

>>12476892
Meh, it's true that people talk much less about adventure island than 15 years ago, but I think that's more about gen X becoming too old to waste time on internet.

chat did people talk about adventure island more in 2011?

For a good while (almost a decade) it outsold doom but I haven't heard anyone talk about it in years.
>>
>>12476904
That's legitimately a bad game though.
>>
>>12476905
This was the first thing I thought of.

not talked about != not being remembered fondly. adventure games were just really dated and reflected what the tech was capable of at the time. once it reached a certain point audiences wanted more exciting things.
>>
>>12476982
Myst is not an adventure game
>>
>>12476851
It must have been pretty damn popular to be ported to literally everything possible.
>>
>>12476987
literally everyone disagrees with you

C&C. At the time it was the must have PC game. Nowadays you only hear how bad it was.
>>
The bad takes in this thread are truly shameful
>>
>>12477008
It was popular, I just don't know if it were particularly revered for its gameplay like SFII was (and is). Not saying it's bad, just not the most memorable thing about it.

Ironically they're now remembered as a shovelware mod for sims 1
Remastered edition made a brilliant choice of adding nitty-gritty sci-fi shit into a dollhouse f*moid simulator.

Totally fits in-game themes. Best pack north korea

I still play it sometimes because it's a very nostalgic title for me but I concede it's very dated. You had to be there at the time to really appreciate it for what it was

Any anons got the cartoon of the guy "powering up" in the gym?

Historically important but made obsolete by every game it influenced
