Shadow Hearts
Shadow Man. Was largely ignored due to Acclaim having a bad reputation.
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. No ad budget. Delays caused Eternal Darkness on Gamecube to be released first, even though CoC had a LOT of the ideas(sanity system) first and was overshadowed by it. Bt it gets points for being Lovecraft and not "legally different enough from Lovecraft".

People know it, but prefer to forget about it. You know, terrible balance, atrocious plot etc.

Mmm... Project Zero. Obscure Japanese camera-combat survival horror FTW.

that was a very popular game, (and very good) and a lot of people know about it, even in australia, where i live, plus everyone got it if they bought C&C first decade.
that game scared the crap out of me when i was but a lad, decent game i guess, and yeah, the only thing acclaim did right was turok 1 and 2.
my favorite "unknown" game would have to be Ufouria, on the Nes, such an awsome game...
Tæfarós
That's a BINGO!
C'mon, Daney, Sega may be in the pits now, but these two are some of their more infamous franchises. Not like we're talking ChuChu Rocket! here. XD
Is that what they call Fatal Frame over there?
Xenofur
Get off my lawn.

Yet another game I wanted to play on my stolen PS2. =(
Maybe Phantasy Star, but I had no idea Shenmue 2 was ever made. Kind of pissed that my DC doesn't work anymore or else I might swag me a copy.
And I think you know what I mean by swag^^.

That's a BINGO!
Ahk, I just recall a huge amount of hype when the Shenmues were released.
And yes, yes I do know. Wink wink nudge nudge.

Shenmue 2 was on X-box if I recall correctly... and not on Dreamcast in the US.
And I kinda liked Chu Chu Rocket...
Also I'll add to the list of "unknown good games" Fur Fighters... Kind of a mix between DooM and Spyro, Violent but not gore-y, I find it hard to put an age to it cause it's pretty kiddie yet some if not a lot of the humor is more adult oriented.
Call-me-Folwer
High-Strung, Low Tension.
Give this man a cigar!
Also,
Makai Kingdom
MegaMan Legends I & II
Shadow Hearts : Convent (I believe someone mentioned this already)
Most of your have probably heard of all of these, they aren't insanely rare or anything...

Might as well just go ahead and say any nippon ichi game to the list. There a very obscure and underrated publisher. Most of there rpgs if not all of em are awesome.

Truth, at its finest.
Seconded, though I've met quite a few on the boards I frequent who know and love Disgaea...which IS pertinent, since NONE are Disgaea-related boards.
What else...La Pucelle, I've heard was good...Phantom Brave I don't know much (read: anything) about except that monsters get to equip regular weapons and throw things...
And my stepbrother said Makai Kingdom was really good too, though it's not really his cup of tea any more than Disgaea.
I'm looking at the games by Yahtzee Croshaw right now...anyone here ever play them?
Also, how about Alundra? Did I or anyone else mention that yet? I need to get back into it...
Also, just to be a jackass, Omaha Hold'em. Playing pisses me off for the same reason watching it's fun--the game makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, Texas Hold'em makes no sense to me either, but it looks like Go Fish in comparison.

Phantom brave was really good but kinda got annoying with the whole incarnating things in normal objects and all characters had a limited time in the battlefield. Makai Kingdom is worth playing for the hilarious store and some of the classes for the characters are really fun. I haven't got to catch up on some of there newest games.
Alundra was pretty good but the sequel was pretty lackluster.

Sure is. Sounds cooler but it's a lot less relevant to the actual game.
Please! That game is right behind Deus Ex for 'legendary amongst snobby elitist PC gaming nerds'.
