Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

    Tomba! on the first playstation. The first game is better than the second, but both are very fun platformers, maybe metroidvania in a way? Since there’s some backtracking as you gain new stuff and abilities.

    A possibly not very known title from the PSP that’s totally worth the time: Kenka Bancho. There’s only 1 in the series that was localized in english, which is the one I played and enjoyed it a lot. You’re a high school japanese student on a quest to be the ultimate high school badass.

    Neither is mediocre, they’re possibly just “hidden gems”, really.

      I had the demo of Tomba 1 (or Tombi as it was called in certain regions) on PS1. Used to play the shit out of that demo when I was a kid.

        I discovered that game via one of those Demo Discs too.

        I remember that the demo ended once you finished the stuff in the dwarf village, when you’d gain access to the part full of flowers and emotion mushrooms
