We got this game at a dollar store as kids. When we played it, it gave us chills despite having grown up on horror movies and not being easily scared. It is quite literally Guitar Hero before Guitar Hero came out; they never got the credit they should have. The end song alone is so memed that I am surprised this hasn't been voted more. It's such a crazy odd game and the creator is so underrated and never got the attention or money he deserved. This is definitely worth preserving.

Man... This game brings back memories. Used to play it back on an ol' Performa Mac. "You Are Dead" still resonates in my brain.. Absolutely bonkers, bizarre game, with a spectacularly earworm-triggering soundtrack. A revival would be cool, but I'd settle just to be able to play it on a Modern PC.

Scarface: The World Is Yours
Scarface: The World Is YoursThe game begins in the film's final scene, with Tony Montana's (Andre Sogliuzzo) mansion being raided by Alejandro Sosa's assassins. But this is the point of divergence from the film. Instead of being killed by the Skull, Tony manages to sense him and shoots him down. He fights through his mansion, with many deaths on both sides. In the ensuing chaos, Tony sneaks to the front of the mansion, barely alive, and manages to escape in his car. Sosa is then informed that Tony's mansion has been seized and his massive drug empire has been reduced to nothing. Hiding in a safehouse located outside of Miami, Tony regrets the decisions he has made but swears revenge on Sosa.

Devil May Cry 4: Collector's Edition
Devil May Cry 4: Collector's EditionThe player plays as Nero throughout most of the game. He is equipped with the Red Queen sword, Blue Rose revolver, and the powers of his Devil Bringer. The Red Queen features an Exceed Gauge that can be charged up, allowing for subsequent attacks that are more powerful than regular slashes, until the gauge empties. Nero also has the powers of his Devil Bringer, and can use it to pull himself towards enemies or vice versa. The Devil Bringer may also be used for context-sensitive throw attacks, leading to high damage and various effects depending on the enemy. Nero's Devil Bringer also gains new abilities during the course of the game, such as being able to detect secret missions or caches of Red Orbs. Nero eventually gains the ability to use Devil Trigger after getting the katana known as Yamato, which increases his Devil Bringer's power, thus changing his Devil Bringer attacks into more powerful versions with different animations
