Dweeb, you and the other Retro Round Knights are heroes of this community. You're jumping through hoops to keep the history of those works of art alive while big names (or big N-ame) of the industry are butchering it for stupid greedy reasons. Thank you for all the awesome work you do, I appreciate you so so much.
Absolutely loved it. This format is so good and having everybody we love in an episode giving their different perspectives is a super cool idea. Great Job General Dweeb.
Oh wow.... I thought my retro catalogue was HUGE and I literally have discovered a new game from just about anyone, those were without a doubt hidden gems! Thanks Dweeb, amazing video, amazing collab!
This needs to become a series, most of those channels are mostly concerned with the hardware side of things which is cool, but I love getting recommendations for games to try out since I was basically a DOS kid and I don't know many retro games apart from top 10 lists or hidden gem lists. Personal favorites are just a little well more personal.
My hidden gem is 'Record of Lodoss War' on Dreamcast. From my understanding, it strays from the lore of the anime in order to better service what it is, a really good Diablo clone. In fact, the best on any consoles of that generation, if you ask me.
Brilliant idea, this community is easily the most civil out there, no one hates no one, all support each other, and we all benefit from it! More please Mr. Dweeb ❤
I remember Capture the Flag! I played it all the time on one of those "500 Great Games" Dos shareware compilations that our dad would sometimes bring back from work trips. Thank you for the memory unlock!
I had capflag!! 😊 I've been thinking about this game lately, I LOVED it as a child! We had the EXACT same experience, mom mailing off a check and getting that white and yellow floppy disc in the mail. my first turn based strategy game! Thanks for pointing out that i can put it on my RG 353v! ❤
Fun fact about apocalypse on the ps1, Bruce was going to be a secondary character in the game so all of his dialogue was written and recorded as though he was reacting to what the main player was doing, but testing of the game found people wanted to play as Willis.
This was inefficient way of getting everybody's best game out there. There's a reason I subscribe to you. It's not just your naisley stone we learn stuff here.
Simply put, I LOVE Hidden Gems videos and getting all these great Tubers' together for one video is the best yet! I always watch these with some scratch paper on the side so I can take some notes on games that I missed in the past. My few hidden gems: 1. WarGames: Defcon 1 on the PS1 (I am also going to sneak in Tempest X on the sly and see if anyone notices) 2. Tetrisphere on the N64 (I test this on every new system I buy because even high powered systems like the Deck don't always play it perfectly. I LOVE the music on this one and will crank crank the volume every time I start testing! 3. Ecco the Dolphin (both titles) on the Sega CD. Like Tetrisphere, I LOVE the music on these and still listen to it on UA-cam today. I thought I was so cool back in the 90's when I learned I could listen to the music from these games by skipping the first track. Yup, I'm a nerd to the core. Thanks again, Mr. Dweeb and everyone involved!
I can't believe it, just yesterday I was remembering the times I used to play old dos games on my cousin computer when I was like 4 yo, and capture the flag was one of them, also played a lot of Jazz Jackrabbit but the one I remember the most is SkyRoads
I've been replaying an old favourite of mine Azure Dreams is a Ps1 rogue like, almost Pokémon mystery dungeon like? You play as a human but you can swap monsters (in fact you can get two out at once!) fusing, elemental attacks, town building and even light dating sim elements, it holds up remarkably well and is pretty well suited to a quick 20 minute tower run type of thing, there's even a randomizer and a whole second tower that's been discovered by modern players! One of the gems of my childhood for sure!
OK, I have to assume you guys are being funny when you pronounce Qix as "Quicks." Or is that really a thing outside of America? I swear, everyone in the arcade growing up called it "Kicks." Heck, even my dad would make the joke when he played it, "okay son, time to get my kicks." Lol, I'd almost forgotten about that.
Geometry Wars 3 is hardly a hidden gem, but it is when played on the Nvidia Shield Portable! Hands down the best handheld system in terms of comfort, power in its day, HDMI out is a big plus, so convenient with the flip up LCD to protect it. It's like an Xbox 360 controller with an Xbox inside and flip up screen. I love playing retro Gauntlet II on it too.
I think a lot of people already are aware of Solomon's Key, but not enough! So i think it still counts as a hidden gem. And yeah, Darkwing Duck i only found out in older hidden gems videos, and is now one of my guilty pleasures.
Great video! Love the camaraderie. One of my retro hidden gems has to be Kwirk on GB. I never owned a GB growing up (I'm and 80's kid) but I had friends and family that had one. I never really played Kwirk until I met my father-in-law (in 2002). He had an OG gameboy and a couple games but he was always playing Kwirk. He showed it to me one day and I got HOOKED. My father-in -law passed away a few years ago and as a gift to my wife, I got her a red GB Pocket with a copy of Kwirk. We play it once in a while and have fun solving the puzzles but most of all we remember my father-in-law while playing it.
Loved the video but I did get confused for a second when Zu was talking about dragon quest 7 and a picture of DQ8 on the PS2 was shown instead. Made me think I was misremembering how 8 started off.
My personal hidden gem is Metal Storm for the Famicom/NES. It’s a robot platformer game. I love it because it has a really interesting gravity inversion mechanic. The graphics are top-tier, and the controls are incredibly smooth. All that creates a very immersive experience.
Not hidden, but forgotten: Rock n Roll Racing on SNES. Hidden, but not forgotten: Neo Turf Masters on Neogeo... very relaxing and plays like Mario Golf on the Gameboy.
I've got an awesome one. "Snake Rattle'n Roll" one of Rares early NES titles and it is a killer game. Tough as nails and satisfying as hec. Quarky and fun.
i remember when my brother tried to explain to me what katamari damachi game was about and I looked at him like he was on cracked. But I bought it for him and its one of our fave games. Along with Cubivore for GC
OOOOh :) I Didn`t know Shadow of the Ninja (aka Blue Shadows here in Norway / Europe), was a hidden gem. Still have the original NES-copy i bought back when i was... maybe 10 or 12 or something, from the bargain-bin at the local video store. Did beat it back in the days, and had a go at it on my Zazzbizzle the other day. An absolute gem, and i saw it`s actually getting some kind of a re-release soon on the Switch i think it was 🤔. Anyways... Great game , great video-consept. Thank you and game on!
Oh wow, I totally forgot about capture the flag! I remember playing the crap out of the shareware version. My hidden gem is Circuit Breakers for the PS1. It's not amazing single player, but get three or four friends together, and it's the best racing game out there.
Chulip is a hidden gem on ps2. I had to print 30+ pages for the kissing guide manual. It's funny, it's scary, it's weird, it's charming, and the ending is very satisfying. I'd like to play that on a retro device
I don’t know if these “qualify “ as hidden gems but I’d like to mention two ps1/pc games . First one is FUTURE COP LAPD. This is a game i had in a I believe pc gamer demo disc . I couldn’t afford the full game until years later but it’s a top down 3D shooter where you pilot a mech . It’s amazing and still looks great to this day . Next one is maybe not so hidden but very overlooked. The game is Einhander for the ps1 . I legit think this is the best shoot em up I’ve ever played . (2nd would be r type final and gradius 5 ) . The cinematic presentation for this one is imho unrivaled evem to this day . That ducking soundtrack!!!
Speaking of hidden gems... Tales of Eternia is super underrated. Everyone knows the series because of Symphonia on the gamecube, but Eternia has such a nice little cast and the combat is genuinely fun.
I have 2 for you, not sure if they're hidden gems but I know I don't see anyone talking about them. 1. SNES - Vortex - This was one of the first SuperFX chip games that came out on the SNES and it a really cool 3D game that has you in a vehicle that can shift into different things like a plane, a robot a car that sort of thing. Graphics look pretty cool for a SNES game and I feel like they were going for the "Open World" idea, but of course couldn't really impliment it. 2. Genesis - Warlock - Though this game is an adoption from a terrible horror flick, I really enjoy the puzzles that requires you solve. I like the well shaded background and the music is a bit eerie. The druid character you play is super versitle and it just a good side scrolling puzzle game. Great work getting everyone together on this!
Super Black Bass, snes. There has never been a better fishing game. It’s amazing for people who have never played or don’t like modern fishing games. Best hidden gem ever.
I'd love to get a peek at TD myself, but it would be like when KISS decided to take the makeup off just one time. They went from Gods, to men. TD, if you read this- Don't change a thing. You ARE the Man. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Super Robot Wars series and Onimusha Tactics in GBA were a hidden gem. Everytime I watch a video of tactics game on the console, I hear same overrated stuff like FF tactics, Tactics ogre and Advanced Wars. For SRW A, D, R and J, you can pick mechs from great mecha animes ranging from Mazinger Z up to great gundam titles up to UC Gundam and Seed. The original generations had great rpg elements where you can upgrade your mechs and train your pilots. You can create combos and assists. You can combine mechs mid battle. It's just so much fun. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes Series specially ultimate ninja hero 5 in ps2 was also a hidden gem. The 2d fighting game where you can play your favorite naruto character, with unique combos and on advanced competitive stage, you'll need mastery of animation cancelling and chakra management. It's much more brutal than thr brain dead gameplay of ninja storm series. SRW was also underrated on PS1. I had so much fun on Super robot wars Alpha Gaiden.
I've heard good things but I kind of hated that the first time I tried it. But really I just sucked at it, so it's probably not fair to make a judgment call
Brilliant as usual TD. Im glad you took the lead as Sylvester Stallone in the Retro game world version of the Retro inspired "The Expendables". Cameo cast heaven.
Knights in the Nightmare for DS. It's like strategy meets bullet hell and set in the same world as Yggdrasil Union. Definitely not for everyone, but it sure is fun once you get the hang of it.
Oh my god, Capture the Flag! I absolutely loved that game. I remember trying to get my mom to play it with me because I was an only child living on a farm. In my adulthood I think I'd completely forgotten about it.
A true hidden 💎 is The Simpson Road Rage for GBA. It's a hilariously fun game that plays something like crazy taxi, but it's themed with the simpsons, and you can play as different characters, and it has all kinds of different gameplay. Like missions. It's super funny to drive poorly on purpose to see Flanders peeing his pants in the back seat. Some characters get a thrill out of you destroying stuff on their ride. It's such a hilariously fun game that no one ever talks about maybe the PS2 version but the GBA version is so perfect in my eyes.
Hell yeah! What a collab, really comes to show how far our little community has come. I would absolutely love to see more, Dweeb!!!
Like... His face ? 😎😎
More seriously, yeah we want more of this, feast time this video is 🤝
Bro summoned the Avengers of the retro handheld community for this😎
This group is so supportive. I love this community! ❤
Me too and honestly I find a lot of love and acceptance in the video game community platform Wars notwithstanding
Ditto!
This is the Avengers for retrogaming nerds
Prepare yourself, I'm gonna hit you up for a future episode!
@@TechDweeb OH BOY 🙏🙏
Awesome video, and honored to be part of the collab! Keep up the amazing work TD!
What a GOAT, MrSujano!! Only the real ones remember you before emulation was cool 😅
10:45 TechDweeb calling himself "handsome". Get it? Because of the hands? I lol'd.
Let's have a hand for that joke!
These jokes are getting out of hand
Isn't TechDweeb a hand model professionally?
I don't want any mention of a job that includes a hand... please... don't...
Dweeb, you and the other Retro Round Knights are heroes of this community. You're jumping through hoops to keep the history of those works of art alive while big names (or big N-ame) of the industry are butchering it for stupid greedy reasons. Thank you for all the awesome work you do, I appreciate you so so much.
That was really nice to hear. Thanks man 🍻
Please consider SNES drunk too! Loved the video, any possibility to add subscribers?
Russ: I have this game, I don't know if you've ever heard of it, it's called Contra.
Can you play with a dpad?
@@TechDweebonly sometimes
I tried playing it but can’t get the diagonals right
Ah yes I agree with Mr Sujano on Street Fighter on GBC
Definitely gonna check this one out
i found this one accidentally a few years ago and the mechanics are so nice
If you're using some emulation handheld why not just play the arcade version of alpha instead of the crappy game boy color version lol
Awesome list of recommends from the retrotubing fellows! Thanks for including me in the fun! ❤❤ stubbs
Thanks for joining! I'm excited for the episode with the apple, I've done some fun edits 😘
@@TechDweeb My pleasure sir, and haha I know my body is ready for the apple episode, but is my heart?
"Don't lick your handhelds." Stubbs: *Feels attacked.
He's blocked me on socials because of that

Bringing all the community together! Love this one, Dweeb! 🧡
Chapeau Tech Dweeb, you’ve nailed a great new series. Bonus points for getting Russ to do a comedy UA-cam reaction face for the thumbnail! 😂
Absolutely loved it. This format is so good and having everybody we love in an episode giving their different perspectives is a super cool idea. Great Job General Dweeb.
Thanks buddy! Looking forward to future episodes with OTHER special guests ;)
This video was so much fun, incredibly well done as always!
Your arm must be soar from fending off those old ladies at the bowling alley with that sweet hat.
I freaking LOVE that capture the flag game! Totally forgot about it! Thanks techdweeb
It was so good! Even playing it now is an adult it's great, nice that there is a turn-based strategy game that isn't all bazookas and fireballs.
Oh wow.... I thought my retro catalogue was HUGE and I literally have discovered a new game from just about anyone, those were without a doubt hidden gems! Thanks Dweeb, amazing video, amazing collab!
Collabs are the best 😏
Love the concept of this rapid fire format, and the topic too! Can't wait to see more episodes
Oh my gosh! A clash of my favourite channels! Thanks Dweeb!

7:10 Final Lap Twin! Yes the story RPG mode is really fun. Highly recommended & strangely still underrated.
I cant believe it existed for so long and ive NEVER heard about it!
@@OzymandiasWasRight You will love it! Still remember playing this on Turbo Express. Unfortunately Turbografx system was very underrated system.
My hidden gem is
'Record of Lodoss War' on Dreamcast. From my understanding, it strays from the lore of the anime in order to better service what it is, a really good Diablo clone. In fact, the best on any consoles of that generation, if you ask me.
I'll give it a try!
Thank you so much👍Sounds exactly like something I'm looking to get into at the moment.
@@greyghostinfinite You're very welcome! May the potions and loot be with you.
This was amazing! I love what you did here bringing everyone together like a little family of friends. This is the heart of retro gaming right here.

I remember Capture the Flag! I played it all the time on one of those "500 Great Games" Dos shareware compilations that our dad would sometimes bring back from work trips. Thank you for the memory unlock!
I love this a lot, thanks to all the awesome people who will contribute to this series
My favorite hidden gems are Rastan (Arcade & Console [sms] ) and Black Tiger (Arcade). Thank God for emulation!
I had capflag!! 😊 I've been thinking about this game lately, I LOVED it as a child! We had the EXACT same experience, mom mailing off a check and getting that white and yellow floppy disc in the mail. my first turn based strategy game!
Thanks for pointing out that i can put it on my RG 353v! ❤
This is incredible!!! 👏👏👏 So stoked to see the next entries! Thank you for bringing all of these boys together for us!

Woah! I didn't know this. Blew my mind, I need to learn the rest of the lore now. ❤❤ - Stubbs
Wow, that is an impressive cast, congratulations on pulling it off! Great video!
This was inefficient way of getting everybody's best game out there. There's a reason I subscribe to you. It's not just your naisley stone we learn stuff here.
15:29 What's with the Dragon Quest 8 cover? :D
Yes, was confused as well :)
Doh!
Simply put, I LOVE Hidden Gems videos and getting all these great Tubers' together for one video is the best yet! I always watch these with some scratch paper on the side so I can take some notes on games that I missed in the past.
My few hidden gems:
1. WarGames: Defcon 1 on the PS1 (I am also going to sneak in Tempest X on the sly and see if anyone notices)
2. Tetrisphere on the N64 (I test this on every new system I buy because even high powered systems like the Deck don't always play it perfectly. I LOVE the music on this one and will crank crank the volume every time I start testing!

Thanks again, Mr. Dweeb and everyone involved!
Solid suggestions!
I would love for you guys to do a top 10 games list for each system over many episodes!.
Every hidden gem video that doesnt list Shantae (great game, not hidden anymore) heals my soul
Not as hidden as it use to be but Soul Blazer on the SNES. Still one of my favorite games to this day.
Definitely counts as a hidden gem
I can't believe it, just yesterday I was remembering the times I used to play old dos games on my cousin computer when I was like 4 yo, and capture the flag was one of them, also played a lot of Jazz Jackrabbit but the one I remember the most is SkyRoads
Omg and In search of Dr Riptide was such a blast, too, I just got the RG35XX sp I hope I can make them work in there
Magmax for the NES and Revenge of the Gator Pinball for Gameboy are two of my favorite retro hidden gems.
This is frickin amazing. I hope there's so many of these!
I've been replaying an old favourite of mine
Azure Dreams is a Ps1 rogue like, almost Pokémon mystery dungeon like? You play as a human but you can swap monsters (in fact you can get two out at once!) fusing, elemental attacks, town building and even light dating sim elements, it holds up remarkably well and is pretty well suited to a quick 20 minute tower run type of thing, there's even a randomizer and a whole second tower that's been discovered by modern players!
One of the gems of my childhood for sure!
OK, I have to assume you guys are being funny when you pronounce Qix as "Quicks." Or is that really a thing outside of America? I swear, everyone in the arcade growing up called it "Kicks." Heck, even my dad would make the joke when he played it, "okay son, time to get my kicks." Lol, I'd almost forgotten about that.
Yeah, we only ever said “kicks”. I had that game on the Atari 5200. There was no “u” in it, so it had to be kicks.
Shatterhand (NES), Felix The Cat (NES), Al Unser Jr's Turbo Racing (NES) and Ranger X (Genesis/Megadrive) are some good ones.
Solid picks 👍
Thanks TechDweeb for getting this together❤. My hidden gem is King's Valley on the MSX
Oooh our first MSX hidden gem!
Uniracers...megalove for that one!
If I ever learn game dev for a hobby, I'm literally just going to make 'Uniracers 20XX'...
Geometry Wars 3 is hardly a hidden gem, but it is when played on the Nvidia Shield Portable! Hands down the best handheld system in terms of comfort, power in its day, HDMI out is a big plus, so convenient with the flip up LCD to protect it. It's like an Xbox 360 controller with an Xbox inside and flip up screen. I love playing retro Gauntlet II on it too.
Capture the flag is a game I still play today! It was one of my favorite games in the 90's. I downloaded the shareware version originally.
Finally, Tech Dweeb can stop getting in trouble for considering Wild Guns a hidden gem, and start getting in trouble for calling it "Wild Arms." (:
Yay! Now I can get ALL the hate!
There is a game called wild arms
I think a lot of people already are aware of Solomon's Key, but not enough! So i think it still counts as a hidden gem. And yeah, Darkwing Duck i only found out in older hidden gems videos, and is now one of my guilty pleasures.
Oh 100% Solomon's Key! I found that while hidden gem hunting. It's awesome!
Great video! Love the camaraderie. One of my retro hidden gems has to be Kwirk on GB. I never owned a GB growing up (I'm and 80's kid) but I had friends and family that had one.

We play it once in a while and have fun solving the puzzles but most of all we remember my father-in-law while playing it.
Wild Arms WAS a hidden gem until it was rediscovered. That's why they call it "hidden".
WIld Arms was not a super nintendo game, he meant Wild Guns lmao
@@SvensPron The second amendment would be a lot clearer if it did say the right to bear guns.
Loved the video but I did get confused for a second when Zu was talking about dragon quest 7 and a picture of DQ8 on the PS2 was shown instead. Made me think I was misremembering how 8 started off.
That was my brain fart :S
What a nice bunch of retro round table knights.
Harvest Moon: back to nature was awesome
AMAZING CROSSOVER! You guys are great!
My personal hidden gem is Metal Storm for the Famicom/NES. It’s a robot platformer game. I love it because it has a really interesting gravity inversion mechanic. The graphics are top-tier, and the controls are incredibly smooth. All that creates a very immersive experience.
Not hidden, but forgotten: Rock n Roll Racing on SNES. Hidden, but not forgotten: Neo Turf Masters on Neogeo... very relaxing and plays like Mario Golf on the Gameboy.
Can't wait for tech dweeb to betray the others so he can get all the infinity gems in his backpack

Oh my gawd, I love this idea!!!!!!!! Yes!!! So many game recommendations!!!!!!!
APOCALYPSE!!! The first game I bought for the PlayStation!
I've got an awesome one. "Snake Rattle'n Roll" one of Rares early NES titles and it is a killer game. Tough as nails and satisfying as hec. Quarky and fun.
Hi, TD! My hidden gem: Halley Wars for Sega Game Gear (called Space Battle here, in Brazil), its a fun shmup.
I'm a big fan.
Byebye.
Looks great!
i remember when my brother tried to explain to me what katamari damachi game was about and I looked at him like he was on cracked. But I bought it for him and its one of our fave games. Along with Cubivore for GC
Great idea for a video and nice to see everyone taking part :)
I feel like a lucky dweeb that so many cool people said yes
Crystalis is one of my fav game on NES

Legend of Wukong on the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive. It's a pretty standard RPG with bland combat and pacing issues, but it's fun anyway.
Omg!!! Totally forgot about apocalypse with bruce willis!!!!
Mine is Ranger X on Genesis. Got it in a bargain bin at Kay Bee Toys as a child
That's on my short-list for the next Genesis gems viddy!
Sega Genesis: Beyond Oasis. This is my hidden gem. It's basically a Zelda Beat-em-up Action RPG for the Genesis / Megadrive.
Brilliant!
We need more videos covering cool games to play on our handhelds. Greatly appreciated!
Oh wow, I totally forgot about capture the flag! I remember playing the crap out of the shareware version.
My hidden gem is Circuit Breakers for the PS1. It's not amazing single player, but get three or four friends together, and it's the best racing game out there.
Chulip is a hidden gem on ps2. I had to print 30+ pages for the kissing guide manual. It's funny, it's scary, it's weird, it's charming, and the ending is very satisfying. I'd like to play that on a retro device
Seeing all of you in one video puts a smile on my face. BTW, we need odin mini 2 content!
Xain'd sleena, only came out in the arcade, its a side scrolling shooter, where you also fly a spaceship and vist different planets, good game
I don’t know if these “qualify “ as hidden gems but I’d like to mention two ps1/pc games .
First one is FUTURE COP LAPD. This is a game i had in a I believe pc gamer demo disc . I couldn’t afford the full game until years later but it’s a top down 3D shooter where you pilot a mech . It’s amazing and still looks great to this day .

10:23 lol not a hidden gem to me 😅 you read my mind sir. Great pick 👍

Ok, TechDweeb. I think after an episode like this, we need a face reveal sometime soon so you can join these other fine gentlemen at the table!
his face was there tho, along with his ten jointed opposable strands of hair

10:45 one day it'll be a "face" reveal except its the pocket test scene, but the camera pans up to reveal... two more hands.
One of the greatest and most under rated games of all time - Heart of Darkness for the PS1
I've heard good things but I kind of hated that the first time I tried it. But really I just sucked at it, so it's probably not fair to make a judgment call
Brilliant as usual TD. Im glad you took the lead as Sylvester Stallone in the Retro game world version of the Retro inspired "The Expendables". Cameo cast heaven.
Would Overblood on the ps1 be a hidden gem? I absolutely loved playing that game. WEEBO!!!!
I've never heard about it, so it counts
Knights in the Nightmare for DS. It's like strategy meets bullet hell and set in the same world as Yggdrasil Union. Definitely not for everyone, but it sure is fun once you get the hang of it.
YES!!! I owned that one on my DS. SUPER deep and complex, but so good and rewarding.
Got my snack and drink, lets go!
Oh my god, Capture the Flag! I absolutely loved that game. I remember trying to get my mom to play it with me because I was an only child living on a farm. In my adulthood I think I'd completely forgotten about it.
Same! I talked my mom into playing because I had no one else to play with! And she did. What a sweetie.
Haha - I played Capture the Flag (shareware version only) when I was young - was a good game.
good lookin tribe you got there TD
I'm a lucky dweeb
A true hidden 💎 is The Simpson Road Rage for GBA. It's a hilariously fun game that plays something like crazy taxi, but it's themed with the simpsons, and you can play as different characters, and it has all kinds of different gameplay. Like missions. It's super funny to drive poorly on purpose to see Flanders peeing his pants in the back seat. Some characters get a thrill out of you destroying stuff on their ride. It's such a hilariously fun game that no one ever talks about maybe the PS2 version but the GBA version is so perfect in my eyes.
Solid gem! I've never tried the GBA version, I'll give it a go!
Hope you're up for joining in a future video :)
