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 :(

Luigi's Mansion. My absolute favorite game on Gamecube and probably my favorite Nintendo franchise, but I never hear anyone talking about it unless there is a new release.

Endorfun. I got it for Christmas in 95 or 96 and would spend hours playing it. Years later I would get emulators to continue playing it. Introduced my college roommate to it. There were times I couldn't get the sound of the animations to work, but I kept coming back to it. Every now and then, I'll revisit it. Wish it would get a rerelease or new version, maybe something I could pay on my phone. Loved the music, the moving colors and textures. It has a therapeutic way of getting me out of my head.

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.

Cossacks 3 or any of the older ones too. Pretty satisfying building up your economy and managing huge battles.

Matchbox emergency patrol. Top tier classic game. The intro hots me with so much nostalgia

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.

It’s hardly ever mentioned in general gaming communities but I have to give a shout out to Squad. Probably my favorite multiplayer shooter ever. The best moments in that game make you feel like you’re in a movie, and the teamwork/communication is unparalleled.
