Two of my favourite N64 games were Lylat Wars, which was a recognised single player classic but also had possibly the best multi-player game on the console and F-Zero X, which is one of my three favourite ever racing games. Neither of these games really received the recognition they deserved in my opinion, especially when compared with overrated trite like WaveRace and (shock!) Goldeneye.
Know any classics you feel didn't due praise and attention?

Underatted Nintendo game? Paper Mario my friends, such a stunning title, I remember my N64 so fondly through this game it truly was awesome. I hope the prequal does make it to the GBA as i have yet to play it and I do hope a Mario RPG 3 is in the works for the good old Gamecube.
So what was Pilotwings like?
Sorry, I accidently sent this without finishing it...
NES: Faxanadu - utterly brill RPG that had be captivated for months.
Blaster Master - a great and original game that was initially
unavailable here but then Nintendo realised it was excellent and
released it over in the UK and my life was complete.
A Boy and His Blob - an insane game with an insane name but what a
game! It was a truly original idea and the fact that you could feed
your blob different flavoured jellybeans in order to overcome
obstacles made it brilliant.
SNES: Actraiser - I purchased this on jap import and it was excellent. Both
types of game were great and it was fairly original with superb
graphics.
Prince of Persia - utterly brill platformer that i still come back to
even today.
N64: HyperLode Runner 3D - a strange Soloman's Key type of puzzle game that
had me quite addicted for a while.
There was a role playing game, i think it was called Aidyn Chronicles that I enjoyed immensely. Quite hard to find though...
So there you have it. I know there are loads more out there that I've neglected to mention but these are game that affected me personally during my 15 years or so of playing games...

Rush 2049, and JFG.
Both amazing games.

Pilotwings most definetly, they better make a sequel for Cube, that game rocked.
So relaxing and with better graphics it would be an instant classic.

Blast Corps I bought second hand off ebay, but it had already been finished (all the areas opened up) and I sadly lost interest when I couldn't figure out how to reset it :O((
Jet Force Gemini I'm annoyed about - I bought it on the promise that it was an excellent game, yet it turned out to be uncontrollable pigswill. The multiplayer mode was marginally more fun than Turok 2, but that's not saying much.
Lylat Wars is terrifically underrated in multiplayer. People who diss it generally aren't very good at it, and don't realise the strategic possibilities offered. Granted it could use some more arenas (did anyone even play the space arena anyway?)
Pilotwings I forgot about - flying around the winter island as the birdman was truly a surreal experience

Not on the GameCube, but I have to say that Deus Ex beats the living daylights out of such hyped up games like Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear Solid. Everyone should get it, or at least rent it. Now. It's that good.
Trust me. :D.
Trust me. :D.
