In the same vein, Dragon Quest Monsters and Dragon Quest Builders are games that I really enjoyed that I feel don't get enough attention. Surprisingly all the DQ spinoffs have been real hits for me.
Matchbox emergency patrol. Top tier classic game. The intro hots me with so much nostalgia
Wizball. I know the C64 version is considered the best because of the music, but I only ever played it on Amiga and it was still awesome. Such a weird, unique game.
N64 "Beetle Adventure Racing" is crazy fun! Race against the clock to improve your time, race the computer, race another player, and best of all are the wild Arena battles - up to 4 players. This was always big fun at family gatherings.
Wii "Godzilla Unleashed" is my favorite solo game. I'd run the sound through my home theater and crank up all the lovely authentic Toho kaiju roars, screeches, howls, and destruction. Controls varied slightly by monster but always felt intuitive. Battling other beasts could get a little glitchy in tight quarters but knock a few buildings out of the way and all's well. Greatest cathartic stress reliever, ever!
RAMPART. An Atari Games arcade game with strong strategy and puzzle elements. Very difficult in the arcade, and has like 12 home ports, including one as late as the PS3. A lot of Atari arcade games from that era aren't talked much about these days, but with Rampart it feels especially egregious.
I could mention lots of games here. I love lots of overlooked games. I even like Athena, of all things, and I am fully aware of its many flaws.
