10 Incredible Games You Never Knew Existed

It’s important to share. So here’s our list of incredible gaming experiences from the past 30 years or so, with a mind to bringing to the surface some of those lesser known titles that we should all really have on our radar. (And okay, maybe you did know a few of these existed and may well have played them, but we needed a snazzy title for the post to get you here! But I’m willing to bet there are a few gems in there that you have never seen or heard of before.)

We won’t say too much about the games on this list other than we think their great – go watch the Youtube links (or the direct link to play) and make your own mind up. If you like what you see, go browsing and enjoy the journey! And let us know what you think (or if there’s something that should be added to the list?).

We’ve listed them by release order so as not to suggest favourites:

1) Deus Ex Machina (1984) – Automata UK

2) Jinxter (1988) – Magnetic Scrolls

3) Weird Dreams  (1989) – Rainbird Software
