When we talk about classic video games, everyone remembers for titles like Super Mario, Battletoads, etc...

There are some great (and not so great) games that hardly anybody remembers. Here's our roundup. How many do you actually recognize?

1
Plant Tycoon. It was this weird little real-time plant-growing & crossbreeding simulator that came out before there were app marketplaces.If you did your crossbreeds right you could unlock legendary plants.

2
Not sure if it's been said yet, but remember the cereal box CD games we used to get?? Goofy's Skateboarding demo cd was the sh*t!!! Me and my cousin killed hours on that demo game.

3
South Park for the N64. Even when I turn 90, I'll still remember the sound those turkeys made.

4
The Ripper. 1996, Staring Christopher Walken, Burgess Meredith, Karen Allen, Ossie Davis, John Rhys-Davies, Paul Giamatti and on and on. A click-and-go movie-style video game from the 90s. It’s a cyber punk thriller about Jack the Ripper in the future using virtual reality. It’s nuts. I still have the 6 CD case upstairs…

5
Lords of the Realm 2. Came out in 1996 and I still play it. "You are fat and ugly and your mother dresses you funny" was one the default insults I remember you can send to enemies.

6
Jazz Jackrabbit. Great music and a variety of different stages, each with its own unique feel.

7
The Rugrats on PlayStation.

8
Cap’n Crunch Crunchling Adventure.

9
In the early '90s, the makers of Oregon Trail put out another game called "Freedom" where you played as a slave escaping a plantation. Picture lots of 8-bit caricatures of African Americans.It was such an awkward flop, they later instructed all schools to destroy their copies.

10
Chex Quest was legitimately amazing.

11
Scoops. It was a game where you stacked ice cream, and tried to avoid onions and tomatoes.

12
I got a lot of enjoyment out of The Incredible Machine game when I was really young but I haven't seen it since I played it back then. It was a game where they would give you a variety of different objects to achieve a task (like dropping a ball on a hamster cage which causes the hamster to run in a hamster wheel that is connected by a cable to a treadmill etc). I think it was probably very good for the brain growing up.
