For me it’s Unreal Tournament 3

    Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, a collaboration between Ensemble Studios and Lucas Arts to reskin Age of Empires 2 for Star Wars. The base game had campaigns for the OT and Phantom Menace and a bit later there was an Attack of the Clones expansion.

    I would really love for them to port this to the AoE2 Definitive Edition engine and add more content.

    Warcraft 3.

    They ruined it with Reforged, meanwhile so many games started as custom games. Really hoping The Scouring fills that niche again

    I think it’s hard for me to differentiate which games didn’t get the recognition they deserved in their time, and which games I love are just too old for people to think about much anymore.

    NOX is one of my all-time favorite ARPGs, but I remember it being pretty popular in its time.

    Earth 2150 is probably my answer: it was one of the best RTSes of all time. OF ALL TIME. I don’t get why it never seemed to catch on.

      SSX 3 was basically all I played back when that came out. That game was so fun.

        I loved the semi-open world concept, I still miss the radio DJ!

        They made it feel like things were actually happening in the world of the game, which most games still don’t do well.

    SimCity 4. That was before the franchise went to shit.
    I dunno why exactly, but I just don’t get the same enjoyment out of Skylines or other city builders.

    XIII. only that people talk about it, but the awful remake. I think they remade it again, but a bit less worse?

    The multiplayer was so awesome.

    Twisted Metal 2 was insanely fun and if you had it for the PC, it was even better. I had 6 different computers set up in various rooms in my house for TM2 parties since you could LAN everyone together. Couldn’t cheat off of other peoples screens either.

    It’s still out there I believe, though it’s not the best port.

    Whacked! It was a third person party combat game for original xbox, my brother and I played it SO MUCH growing up. We still sometimes play and have fun, but anyone else that tries to play with us hates it

    UT2003 was so much fun, throwing yourself into the goal of bombing run was very satisfying.

    My favorite game was Burnout 3: Takedown, the crash levels where you have to make the biggest crash you can was the best.
