We all love our "Doom"," Command & Conquer", "Commander Keen" etc.

But what is a game that you love that no one seems to know and/or like? What is that one gem that makes you type your "C:>cd games" just that little tiny bit faster?

I'll go first. My pick is Normality from 1996 by Gremlin Interactive. A 3D first person point and click adventure with FMV Cutscenes. It's goofy and weird but perfectly playable. I highly recommended anyone who loves point and click adventures to try this one out. It's basically Doom Point 'n Click

Whenever I go to fire up some old games the first two, and the two I spend most of my time on are-

Ultimate Domain: a little slow but has an great city building and worker placement system and one of the coolest tech trees I’ve ever seen.

Space Bucks: also a little slow but is essentially a space sci-fi alien commodities shipping simulator. Start on a planet, win bids to ship to and from other planets, buy low and sell high, and improve the planets ability to produce while also improving your space fleet, optimizing for speed, cargo, offensive and defensive abilities.

I love them both so much
