the past returns again welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
continuing our overlooked video game
series with our picks for the top ten
overlooked video games of the fourth
generation for those who do not know the
fourth generation of video games covers
the Super Nintendo Sega Genesis and na
PC games ranging from 1991 to 1996 again
we are looking at games that were never
truly recognized even though they had
great stories graphics or gameplay
earthbound is out as it later received
higher recognition thanks to NASA’s
appearance in the smash brothers series
number 10
Wild guns kicking off our list is this
Wild West shooter you play as Clint or
Annie pushing your way through waves of
enemies by shooting them and anything
else that can be shot the scenery goes
from western town Street to saloon –
strangely futuristic machinery your foes
are just as buried with some of them
being machines as well luckily you get a
wide range of weapons including a good
old lasso to immobilize them number 9
The Adventures of Batman and Robin
we before the Nolan movies and sometime
after the Burton movies we had the
Batman animated series which spawned
this little Jim contrary to what the
title says you can only play his Batman
though Robin does show up in a few
stages the game is a classic beat him up
where the Dark Knight confronts the
various enemies from the show from the
ever classic Joker to the Scarecrow the
characters are all accurate depictions
of their TV counterparts and the music
is adapted from the show as well making
it one of the best Batman games
available for a long time number 8 the
lost Vikings long before blizzards
dominated the PC multiplayer scene one
of their first great games starred Erik
the Swift Olaf the stout and Balog the
fierce adventure ensues after they get
kidnapped by aliens and have to work
together using their three warriors
specific abilities to escape the alien
ship and travel back through space and
time and find their way home since only
one Viking can attack only one can block
and only one can jump and you can only
control one at a time this was a
brain-teasing platformer with a
startling amount of depth number 7
actraiser
part action-platformer part city
building simulator well it surprisingly
worked out as this game clearly makes
you a God in charge of helping humans
fight back against monsters not only can
you manifest as an incarnation to fight
the monsters yourself in a
side-scrolling level but you can also
direct your people so they can prosper
and seal the monsters lair for you
both gameplay elements are intrinsically
linked since your level depends on your
population of followers number 6 rock
and roll racing those pages that the
green wha-wha-wha another product of
blizzards early years this racing game
may not have been as fun as Mario Kart
but it still had several good points
starting with the soundtrack which was
one of the first to use licensed songs
or at least 16-bit versions of them
the premise is an interplanetary car
race you choose your pilot among a
selection of colorful characters and
have them compete in a series of
explosive competitions in this isometric
racing gem hey door babe earthquake
knockout number 5 goblins in this
point-and-click adventure when the king
is suddenly struck by an unknown evil
three goblins named Bo Bo hooter and
Dwayne has they’re known in their US
release venture forth to seek the help
of a wizard problem is everything in
this world seeks to kill and/or scare
you and these guys aren’t very brave
somewhat similar to lost Vikings you
have to use the three goblins respective
magic brute strength and items to avoid
dangers of all sorts and anything else
that makes your goblins scream like that
number four demons crest in a list full
of unlikely heroes meet firebrand not
only because he’s a demon but because
his first appearance in a video game was
in ghosts and goblins in this game he
seeks to retrieve the crest of power
stolen by a rival demon
able to throw fireballs each crest gives
him a new ability from flying to
swimming to moving faster the varied
abilities of the protagonist and the
atmosphere which convey a real sense of
a world inhabited by demons are what
brought this game so high on this list
number three terranigma
this action RPG might seem quite
ordinary but it had a few unique points
arc the main character had much more
personality since unlike other heroes of
the genre he could speak the story is
also very grounded since the further you
progress the more you help the world
itself grow by making the continent
re-emerge from the sea reviving the
plants and animals and helping the
inhabitants develop through technology
and science this JRPG was never released
in North America instead only seeing a
Western release in Europe and Australia
really late in the SNES s lifespan
number two the illusion of Gaia
in this game you play as will a young
boy gifted with psychic powers who
fights with a flute who sets out on a
journey in search of artifacts his
search will lead him to Inca ruins the
plains of Nazca the Great Pyramid and
even the lost continent of MU he can
eventually take on the form a freed in
the night and shadow the being of comet
light apart from its well written story
and challenging fights this game also
had a great soundtrack for both the
action and the mysterious scenes before
we unveil our top pick let’s pay homage
to a few other forgotten gems
number one comics zone
topping our list is this artistic
package of Awesomeness you play a sketch
a comic-book artist who gets trapped in
his own comic book by filling the game
itself is a classic beat him up but it’s
the little details that make it nice
since you’re in a comic you move across
different panels your profanities get
censored you talk in speech bubbles and
each blow you land generates a comic
onomatopoeia with extremely tight combat
but also brutally difficult with only
one life this is one stylish game
that’ll make you go chances are there
are a few titles that we’ve overlooked
that don’t get the praise they deserve
so let us know some of your long-lost
favorites and for more great top 10s
