Poy Poy for the Playstation 1. I don't know if anyone has played it or remembers playing it, but that game was the bomb.
Literally all you did was pick up items on the map and throw them at each other until one person stood the victor.

The Minish Cap is overlooked because it's mediocre (not bad, tough). ALttP is a much better game, even if I think is overrated compared to the superior NES and N64 Zelda games.
On topic: Expeditions: Conquistador is an awesome yet pretty ignored modern RPG. Great gameplay, great setting, great mechanics, great music, but average graphics.

The 24 game for PS2. This was a well done licensed game with the whole cast from the show doing their voice acting and motion capture as well as it's own plot telling a unique story from the show. I had plenty of fun playing.

Planescape: Torment !
Just remembered this one. Fantastic game, especially for the time (the graphics don't quite stand up today, but that's not nearly the best part of the game).
The metaphors about morality and various philosophical themes, as well as the poetic symbolism -- these really make the story worth following. To top it off -- there's a bunch of endings. Interesting to save a few hours before the end and go through all the endings based on the choices you make near the end of the game.

Planescape: Torment is a great example of a game that largely lets you play it how you want to play it. It isn't all about combat like some other D&D games from that time. You can even talk your way through the final boss if you want to.

Skies of Arcadia was one I really loved. If they re-released I would definitely buy it again. Hell if I stumbled on a original copy copy I would buy it again, pretty sure I still have a Dreamcast somewhere...

Legend of Grimrock. Both games have been extremely well received and deservedly so, but I feel like it just doesn't get enough attention because of the perception that it's too simplistic, namely the grid movement system.

Beyond Good & Evil.
I understand it's not the best game, objectively speaking, but it's certainly one of my favorites, due to fun gameplay, endearing characters, and a simple, yet captivating story -- to top it all off, it has one of the better atmospheres of any console games I've played (at least during those generations).
Too bad that the low sales probably force it to be a cult-hit wonder; Who knows what it could have been if more people had heard about it?
