you are entering a realm of blocky 3d do
not attempt to adjust your set welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
continuing our top 10 overlooked video
game series with our picks for the top
10 overlooked games of the fifth
generation for this list for examining
the fifth generation of games which
includes the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation
1 we are excluding games that got
popular long after their release like
Conker’s Bad Fur Day and if you’re
looking for PC games from this era be
sure to check out our list of the top 10
forgotten for suitors number 10 klonoa
door to phantomile Wow
in an era filled with cutesy platforming
mascots it would make sense that this
little fella
developed by Namco would fall through
the cracks this game featured 2d
gameplay in a 3d environment as you play
as the young cat-like hero klonoa
who must wait for it save the world he
fights by catching his enemies and
throwing them on to others which turns
into an interesting gameplay feature as
you can throw them into the background
and the foreground
number nine Suikoden the PlayStation
console saw a lot of RPGs in its time
and as a result a lot of them failed to
stand out in a very flooded market this
game being one of them it follows the
tale of a hero in his quest to take down
the evil empire of which he was once the
subject of all while searching for the
magic runes and okay so it’s not the
most original story but its combat
system makes it stand out you have six
party members on the battlefield and
you’re able to recruit over a hundred
different characters along the way
allowing you to mix and match multiple
combinations to find a fighting style
suited for each encounter number eight
croc legend of the Gobbo this game is
perhaps notable for what it was
originally intended to be developer
Argonaut software originally pitched
this game to Nintendo as a 3d platformer
starring their iconic dinosaur Yoshi but
in Tendo rejected the idea so the main
character was reborn as croc who sets
out on a quest to save the gaw Bo’s
small furry creatures that raised him
since he was a baby although it’s a
platformer the game has many puzzle
elements that require mental reflection
in order to get the best possible score
and honestly you’d be surprised how cute
a crocodile can really be number seven
mystical ninja starring Goemon
if you’re a fan of anime and comedy this
game is probably for you the game is
part of a series that rarely made it out
of Japan you follow the adventures of
coin and his ninja friends as they
battle the peach mountain Shogun’s
high-tech aliens who want to turn Japan
into a stage for their opera from your
hair turning gold from power-ups to the
evil villain s with a high-pitched laugh
to the giant robot combat this game
could hardly be more Japanese complete
with a cheesy anime opening theme song
hey well no bas a bad guy man don’t take
a chance number 6 day grens story
religious politics have always been a
popular subject in film and literature
but here’s a game that made use of the
topic set in the world of Leia mome it
follows the story of Ashley riot a
member of the valerian Knights of peace
in a mission to stop a cult leader and
uncover the secrets of their magic
abilities the game is an action RPG
allowing you to hit different parts of
your enemies in order to do combos if
you like your RPGs with a healthy dose
of dark undertones then this one might
suit your tastes number 5 mischief
makers one of the few 2d platformers
released on the n64
when 3d gaming was all the rage this
game features marina lightyears the
ultra intergalactic cybot G on a quest
to save her rather perverted creator
from an evil emperor
to do so she can grab and shake just
about anything she encounters enemies
innocent civilians kids plants missiles
floating balls you name it and marina
can give it the shakedown where else can
you say that you fought a large
motorcycle that shoots missiles and can
transform into a robotic dog while
you’re riding on the back of a kitten
that can ride on set misses only one
thing left to say dick shake thanks
number four
legacy of kain Soul Reaver I will
consume you so before this day is done
in Soul Reaver you play as a vampire
that’s been betrayed by his master Hey
in exchange for returning from the land
of the dead death itself voiced by the
late Tony J makes you collect the soul
stuck on earth by the vampires in the
ensuing battles you must use your
strength to push enemies into spots
where they can’t go such as flowing
water and sunlight despite not catching
on to mainstream status the series has
garnered a cult following and it’s easy
to see why you are the last to die
number 3 jet force Gemini rare produced
some of the biggest games for the n64
but for some reason jet force Gemini
never caught on like its other big
titles this sci-fi third-person shooter
has you play as one of three characters
the twins Juno and Ayla and their dog
lupus in their adventure to stop Mizar
and his army of insectoid drones
the game takes you to different worlds
while you jump and fight your way across
hordes of monsters the game featured a
great variety in gameplay but it was
incredibly difficult to get to the final
level so jet force Gemini is a game best
suited for those crazy completionists
out there number 2 Legend of Dragoon
this game may look like just another
JRPG what with a sword wielding hero
with spiky blond hair but what actually
sets it apart aside from a preview
decent story is the battle system where
each attack demands a well-timed hit in
order to do more damage making you take
an active part in every battle yes
go before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions
you
number one Space Station Silicon Valley
finishing off our list is this charming
over-the-top adventure game in the
future a Space Station meant to be a fun
park becomes overrun by its mechanical
animals two unlikely heroes are sent to
investigate but due to a stupidity
induced crash Evo the robot gets reduced
to a mere microchip and must take
control of the different robotic animals
of the station to get his body back and
yes those robotic animals can either be
as close to real animals as possible or
have mechanical upgrades like wheels or
weapons for an insane amount of gameplay
variety you’d probably know the
developers of this game DMA design for
the name they go by today though
Rockstar North
chances are because of the nature of
this list it’s possible that we
overlooked something hmm so let us
politely know in the comments what games
of this era don’t get any love anymore
