I hate how many of my favourite games are on this list, if only more people recognised how genius some of them are, we'd have some amazing games out of them by now

My suggestions are Sexy Hiking and New Super Hook Girl.

when I think back on forgotten PC games from back in the day, the main names that come to mind are Platypus, Icy Tower, and Chocolate Castle, any of those fit?
