Favorite Not so well known arcade game

The Legend of Kage

I'm not sure if this is the same one I'm thinking of. The one I played was on Nintendo, but this one looks quite familiar. I played this game with my brother long ago (one of the few we ever played together), and we beat it same night we rented it. I had forgotten its name and have been hoping to find it again.

Ok, if you haven't heard of these games before, you definitely need to try them out:

Libble Rabble is quite bizarre (harvesting mushrooms?) and really needs two joysticks to play (ala Robotron).  The thing I like about it other than being incredibly unique, is that it appears to use a different side of the brain than any other game I know, since it forces you to coordinate both of your hands to lasso the wandering mushrooms.  Just a really neat game.

Toy Pop is another great Namco game that uses the same video/sound hardware as Libble Rabble, a lot of fun with some nice surprises and hidden things, and great with 2 players.

Jackal is a bit more well known, but one of my all-time favorite arcade games that I used to play a LOT when I was younger, so I had to mention it.  :)  Plus it's another stellar 2p simultaneous game. 

Have fun...

Forgotten Worlds (8-way joy and push-down spinner)

Super Space Invaders 91 (Majestic-12) - SI w/ cool power ups and cattle mutilation bonus rounds.

Pyros (Wardner) - Toaplan platformer. Think Ghosts N Goblins with RPG-ish items and shops.

Dark Seal - Isometric dungeon-crawler. Kind of like a primitive Gauntlet Legends.

Gladiator - Side scrolling / Fighting (circa 1986)

Game Paradise - a shooter that mocks the entire arcade and amusement industry. One of the bosses is a deluxe moving Outrun cab. Another part takes place in a crane machine. Seems to run slower in newer versions of MAME.

I always recommend Lady Killer even though it's not kid friendly.  The gameplay is unique and highly addictive.

I like Joe and Mac returns. Kinda like Bubble Bobble...but more fun in my opinion.
