Recommend an underrated videogame

One of my favourite underrated games is Mega-Lo-Mania. Best version was on the Amiga, but I've got a MegaDrive copy, and somebody made a clone app called GigaLoMania which is pretty much a direct copy, with the same gods and people, just different names. It's clear the maker was a fan, as he went and re-created the voice acting for the few spoken lines in it (which was big for the time of the original).

I had this on my Atari. It was fun but I had no idea what was going on until it would inevitably crash about 25 minutes in. 

Street Racer on the SNES was brilliant. Not the mega drive version though, where every track was the same, just with different artwork.

There were tracks on Street Racer? I don't remember really playing the racing parts due to how much we used to play the football mode!

This! Football mode was ace. It's taken decades for Rocket League to come along and fill that Street Racer-shaped hole in my life! Wasn't there a Rumble mode too, where you have to bump fools off the map?

GTA3 was such a nonsensical suggestion, but then again, ToeSucker innit.

I've got the Saturn version of Street Racer. It's a good little proto kart racer when developers were still trying to figure out what made a good kart racer. It had some interesting gimmicks.

It's a ZX Spectrum game so you'll need an Emulator and a ROM and all that faf. Try and get a game called "Armageddon Man". You literally play God and you're trying to get all of these countries negotiating with each other or wars will start. You've got an atlas of the world in front of you and you see missiles coming over. It's a bit complicated to understand, it must have been well wacky for 87/88/89. It's great. It wasn't made by a major company.

A couple of friends of mine used to have tests against each other on this, but they'd run it like an actual test with breaks for tea and leaving the game running overnight when play would usually stop. 

Super International Cricket on the SNES is a decent game of cricket from the 16 bit era.
