Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

There was a game on PSX called Team Buddies. It was the absolute best. I have many core childhood memories toes to that game.

Split screen PvP (or PvE, but the computer players were dumb) where you have to run around these different maps collecting boxes to bring back to your base. Depending on how you stack the boxes, you make different things when you smash them open

1x1: pistol 1x2: shotgun 2x1: additional "soldier" 1x4: rocket launcher 2x4: tank

You could have up to 4 soldiers and the aim was to destroy the enemy base by attacking it.

There were these super blocks that would drop and if you got them included in your build it would change what you made. You could get an Uzi, a super solider with flight and lazer vision, a gattling gun or a helicopter.

You could attack other players building pads to sabotage their new builds, attack their base, kill their soldiers... It was amazing, but outsideu friend group, have never seen/heard anything about it.

Ah I loved that game. It was such a unique mechanism that I wish there was a modern version
