Last view: 6140 days 		Are there any videogames that it seems everyone else knew about except you?

We were a Nintendo and computer family when I was growing up. I was vaguely aware of this company called "Sega" but had never played any of their games or systems. I didn't know who or what Sonic the Hedgehog was until I started going online in 2001. Similarly, I had never even heard of Final Fantasy until I went to Acmlm's and realized it was apparently the only videogame series anyone ever talked about.

I didn't look into much Dreamcast games, but looking online I always see this stinker at the top of every list. 7 years later I finally play it to find it as a flashy flash button jam fest (you can hardly do moves because you're accidentally hittng the 'character switch' combo anyway. Effing Marvel fanboys.

Same for me. I'd only heard of Samus through Super Smash Bros and one issue of Nintendo Power where there were three questions about Super Metroid answered. Mostly, I had no clue about it because of "The Metroid Drought" (i.e. no new games) between 1994 and 2002.
