[Warby]

how was jetpack ever underrated?

[Mazy]

Yeah, this thread is definitely more geared towards "Games YOU think are underrated", but I guess that easily becomes "Your favorite game that no one likes quite as much as you"

best ever... the memories!

come to think of it, it's kinda odd. this and jetpack might just have had the greatest influences on me when it comes to design.

It's a turnbased squad game set just after WW2 in an alternate history or something like that. It had fully destructible enviroments, ragdolls (that was major back then!) and lots of other cool shit. It's sort of like UFO Xcom, with nazis and ragdolls.

Rezzing this thread to say I just got this game and installed it today, and I've pretty much played it non-stop. It's totally fucking awesome. It seems to hit every note I appreciate and love in a good PC game, alternating quicksave and autosave slots, as well as save anywhere, fully destructable environments that actually look cool as they blow up, fragmenting in realistic ways and exposing underlying boards and brick and shit, hard as balls, but fair, with pretty forgiving penalties for losing or getting your dudes shot up (as long as they don't outright die when they're shot down, and you carry them off the map at the end, they'll make it and spring back), neat and occasionally damn funny quips the guys say as they move around, shoot at people, see enemies, and get shot (my favorites are my guy yelling "Progress!" at random intervals, and the Russians saying "It's a bad day to not be a religious..." as they're about to die), and the best feature- no reload when you restart a mission! It just instantly resets the map and puts everything back the way it was at the beginning!

Really, really good fucking game so far. I'm still kinda getting used to some of it, like how frag grenades behave "realistically", shooting out anti-personnel pellets instead of just creating an explosion that can damage the environment, but so far I'm completely loving it.

Deserves a 8.5 at least!

Kind of shitty if you're a Thief 1 + 2 vet, but the Shalebridge Cradle level in Thief 3 is among the greatest levels ever made for any FPS in recorded history.
