>ITT: retro games that are STILL underrated
Let me start with Magic of Scheherazade (anyone who's played it is hearing the grandiose theme music)... which was an amazing game that was done in (at least in the west) by committing the crime of being an RPG before FF7 and the fact that no kid could pronounce or even remember the title of the game.
Oh and if you're going to play it, don't plant the seed in the past and reap the rewards in the future. It just breaks the game.

Genpei Tomaden, a platformer with 3 kind of modes, and multiple routes

I rented this game so many times as a kid because I could never track down a cartridge. I think an SNES sequel that refined and balanced the combat systems could have been truly great. I appreciate the novelty of the game now but don't really find it engaging anymore. But still underrated and very interesting. Deserved that sequel, at least.
But it's always frustrated me that RPG settings get recycled so often when there are so many world religions and folk traditions to steal from.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm so fucking tired of dwarves, elves, dragons in a vague dark ages Europe.
Give me something new!
Skyroads was pretty great. I still like it after over 10 years
you can even play on your browser with an HTML5 version they made.

Commander Keen 4 and later are also underrated, i think they have a lot of charm

Skyroads is also available for free from the developer's website.
SeaQuest DSV is an amazing submarine (space-like) adventure game.

I like how the title is so hard to read that it's written again in plain text.
