Most of these are games that I think are amazing, no accounting for other people's taste. Here goes:
-Little Samson (NES): a platformer with four cute characters each with unique traits. The bosses are big and difficult, and the graphics and animations are some of the best on the NES (given it was one of the last). Actual copies are extremely rare, though.
-Cocoron (Famicom): a Japanese only platformer where players built characters with a head, body and weapon of their choosing and fought in a dream world. An unreleased PC Engine prototype remake/sequel exists, but has never been made public.
-Clash at Demonhead (NES): a unique platform shooter where you guide the main character through routes of your choosing to find and defeat the bosses in order to stop a bomb. Has a lot of adventure feel to it with the exploring, and the game is complimented with dialogue between supporting characters and villains.
-Legend of Mana (PS1): sort of considered a black sheep among fans of the original Secret of Mana. It was released relatively late in the playstation's life, and it features a unique method of story progression and beautiful sprites (especially the bosses). Some people are turned off by the art style, sometimes underdeveloped story, and the fixed, unskippable battles.
More to come later, I'm out of time for now.
