Neo Geo: Matrimele, World Heroes Perfect, Nightmare in the Dark.
 
Atari 2600: Surround (predates tron light-cycles with sqare graphics and great two-player), activision boxing
NES: Faxanadu, Strider (which is nothing like the arcade game, but is pretty engaging), Double Dragon (great difficulty curve, and move ramp-up)
Genesis: Gaiares (great shooter, with wicked cool upgrade mechanism), Krusty's Fun House (early levels are too easy, but the puzzles get really involved), Desert Strike (probably not underrated, but an amazing game)

New Zealand Story for all systems & MAME is amazing.

Yeah, really liked that game, shame it doesn't work on UAE4GP2X since it requires OCS


Eliminator, that game rocked probably one of my most played in my STE power pack along with r-type both so difficult though.

Other underrated games

Megadrive/Genesis: Starflight my all time top game ever

Amiga: moonstone

Atari ST: Mad Professor Moriarty (porridge keeps you warm on the moon), Venus The Fly Trap, Simulcra

Atari Jaguar: AvP (still my all time fave fps), Kasumi Ninja (Pakawa Wins! hahaha and I still have the collectors headband), Blue Lightning (G-Loc and afterburner rolled into one on acid!), Iron Soldier (great big robots wrecking other great big robots and buildings in a big way) and Cybermorph (yes I was one of the few that loved it's gouraud shadedness)

Ok is that list too big?

Yes I am an Atari fanboy
