We all play the same games most of the time. From the classic FPS grandfather’s to the Point 'n Click adventures that never really got any traction past the 90s.

What are your favorite hidden gems? Games that few people know, but should know?

I’ll start. Ascendency. A strategy space game where you pick an alien race, and try to take over, or befriend, the entire universe. Getting spaceships, going to planets, building bases and diplomacy. The time can be sped up, but do it at your own risk, because the AI does not wait.

    Considering it has an active community (small but active) and a recent VR remake: probably not. Awesome game though!

    Tyrian is great. Never tried the cheat codes!

      Ok then my actual suggested forgotten gem is the DESTRUCT minigame inside of Tyrian

      Oh also The Incredible Machine, I played #2 so much as a kid
