Ask HN: What old video games did you love that haven't left a large footprint?

Once in a while I think back to games I used to play as a kid/teen, and while some are considered classics, many seem to have been forgotten by time. Curious which games in your opinion should be more talked about?

A few that come to mind for me:

1. Centurion: Defender of Rome - a turn-based strategy game that came out a year before Civilization. Had some really interesting real-time battle mechanics and as a history nerd I loved taking over the various Roman era countries and kingdoms.

2. No One Lives Forever (and sequel) - a 3D shooter set in an Austin Powers / Archer like universe. So different from other shooters of the time with a great blend of a coherent story, interesting character (named Cate Archer, funny enough), and non-stop hilarity. Gadgets included lipstick camera, coins you can throw as a distraction, and a proximity bomb that looks like a kitten.

3. Acrophobia - a 90s online multiplayer game where you had to turn random acronyms into phrases that had to fit a particular topic. Winner was determined by voting. An amazingly fun time-waster.
