Favorite lesser known old school games

[yourbeliefs]

Here's something off the beaten path. What are some of your favorite old school games that aren't what you would see on a typical "Top 10 List of Atari/Nes/SNES/Sega/etc Games of all time?" For example, games like Metroid, Super Mario Bros, Zelda, etc wouldn't be eligible since EVERYONE knows those games are great even if they haven't played them. What are some of the lesser known games you knew and loved? I'd like to keep these to games from the PS1 and beforehand, but if you know any more recent ones that's fine.

Like I said, it's anything from the PS1 and beforehand, so even if your favorite game is on the Vic 20 or the ColecoVision, that's fine. Don't limit yourself to those that I listed. Those were just examples.

Going back, Rogue was one of the first games that really got me into PC gaming. Does anyone remember this classic? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_(video_game)

I also had a lot of fun with Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards when it came out in the mid-80s for the PC.

Finally, there was an Atari 2600 that really kicked-ass but never did receive Top 10 accolades. Many a beers were consumed playing this game...just can't remember the darn name.

Played Drag racer from Active-vision for the 2600 quite a bit...

I played a lot of rogue and follow on larn on an HP-UX system back in the early '80s.
A friend and I ported the original Colossal Cave text Adventure! from the DEC FORTRAN to the HP-3000 back in 1978 or so. We were popular in the HP labs for a bit afterward
