Vice - Project Doom (NES / Famicom)

While Bayou Billy may get the most attention for combining a bunch of different genres in a single game on the NES, there were other titles that also did this.  One of my favorite of the bunch was Vice: Project Doom where you played some mysterious guy fighting a mysterious enemy.  The game had driving, shooting, and side-scrolling action.  Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Konami.

Pineapple Smash Crew (PC)

I'm always up for a game with randomly generated dungeons.  Most of the titles that I play that are like this tend to be fantasy RPG in nature.  However, one exception to this that I came across not so long ago was Pineapple Smash Crew, which is a fast-paced action shooter featuring randomly generated levels.  There are still RPG elements to be had, as your squad can level up over time, though they tend to die and get replaced quite often.  The game also seems to be mildly obsessed with giving you hand grenades to play with.

Jet Force Gemini (N64)

Not exactly my favorite of Rare's entries on the N64, but a decent game that is often overlooked.  There were lots of things to track down, the action was decent, and the music was really well put together both in terms of style, and sound quality.  Still, if I were to pick a favorite from Rare during this era, I'd have to go with Golden Eye.  Jet Force Gemini just didn't grab me as much as that game did.

Monday Night Combat Screenshots (PC)

I really like the sense of humor in this game, and the different classes are a bunch of fun too.  Now there's even a free to play sequel in the works.  Huzzah!
