More Great Games You’ve Never Played

Donkey Kong: Jungle BeatIn our last post, we told you about some great video games from the past that, for whatever reason, never really got the attention they deserved. Today, we will finish up our commentary with four more games that are just begging for you to hunt them down on eBay and add them to your collection!

  1. Blast Corps (N64)
    It appears that Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie distracted many N64 players from another video game gem. Blast Corps was an ingenious action/puzzle game that involved a bulldozer. I know, it sounds very boring, but the act of clearing a path for your truck to drive on was enormous fun!
  2. Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaro’s Treasure (Wii)
    This game probably went unnoticed by many gamers because its title seems to make it out to be a cartoon network-type of game. However, it’s actually Capcom’s “wink” to old-school video gamers, particularly those who enjoyed the classic Sierra Games adventures of decades past. It is a fun game to play, and it’s full of outstanding puzzles.
  3. Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (GameCube/Wii)
    Nintendo chose to use the GameCube’s bongo peripheral for this game. When I first heard about this game, I laughed at it, but I quickly changed my mind once I played it. Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is a wild and woolly game. Players were required to bang on the drums and clap their hands to make Donkey Kong run and jump. Although that may sound strange and unappealing, it truly was a blast to play. The graphics were stunning, but this title was largely ignored by the public. It has now been re-released for the Wii, but if you still have your GameCube, you may want to hunt down the original. It’s not the world’s longest game, but there is a lot of entertainment value in replaying it to try to beat your previous “banana count.”
  4. Beyond Good & Evil (GameCube/XBox/PS2)
    Beyond Good & Evil was a good, all-around action/adventure game set in a bizarre world of humans, animals, robots, and aliens. I can’t stress enough how this game simply does everything right. Nothing is to difficult to figure out. You don’t get stuck forever hating some boss, and you never seem to curse at the controls. If the game has any drawback at all, it is simply that it is too short. I strongly encourage you to hunt this game down and play it — it deserves your attention.
