XI (sai) Jumbo on PS1 rocks too. I guess it's Devil Dice Director's Cut. I'm not sure if it ever come out over here though.

I've never heard of that one, but just done a quick search and...

In Japan, where Devil Dice was called Xi, the game was popular enough to spawn a follow-up called Xi Jumbo; in the States, Devil Dice sold "only" 40,000 copies, a tiny number for a massive publisher like THQ, and so Jumbo was never brought to America.

So Jumbo is import only.

The game is genius! A simple, mediocre puzzle game on the surface but what lurks beneath is a fiendishly hardcore game that will blow you mind with possibilities!

This review sums it up beautifully

Everyone needs to play this for a few hours and then DL and watch some speed runs of the game. It will blow your mind.

Defiintely True Lies on SNES. It's probably one of the best movie-to-game adaptions ever!

[Sabreman]

In Europe the Ys series for definite. A true crime that we've been denied this awesome series for so long.

Niche SRPGs that have been mentioned - Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre, from before the Nippon Ichi games made their mark.

ZanacXZanac - a shmup for the Japanese PS1 that's the equal of any rare shmup you care to mention, yet is curiously overlooked.

Popful Mail on the Sega CD (best version)

The Neverhood - bonkers and hilarious claymation point-and-click adventure.

Kult on the Amiga.

All the Scumm games, well almost all the old point and clickers.

Has anyone mentioned the SCUMM games? Or Snatcher?

[AdamJW]

Have they not already been mentioned along with the point and clickers

I'm confused, either that was hate filled sarcasm of some kind or perhaps just an almost astrologically impossible coincidence?

[Dogg Thang]

"hate filled"? Wow, paranoid much? It was a light jest at the fact that you posted it four times in a row. You do realise that there are three of the same posts on the previous page?

There was no hate there Boris.
