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.

Would System Shock count? I haven't seen that much talk about it until the 2023 remake came out.

If it has a recent remake I wouldn't call it forgotten. It is a cool game though!

Master of magic. War craft 2. Ultimate Doom. Titus the fox. Descent.

I am unsure Warcraft 2 or any Doom title counted as forgotten. Warcraft 2 got a modern release, and doom is always around.

Master of Magic was a great game, I forgot about that one.
