It's not really forgotten, but Wing Commander has been abandoned, and a proper modern rebuild of it would be fantastic.
Also, I want a new Deer Avenger.

Battle for Middle Earth. With the resurgence of RTS games lately, including many older ones getting remastered, I would absolutely love to see a proper remaster and release of BFME2. Unfortunately rights issues mean it's very unlikely to happen.

I wish Toonstruck would get its remaster and sequel.
Drakan series needs reboot. I played Drakan; Ancient gates. That game was so much fun. The seamless transition from fighting on a dragon to fighting on your feet. The next level spell casting where you had to trace out the symbol to cast. The lore felt really deep like there was a lot of secrets they never fleshed out and ever since Iβve had an itch that never got scratched.
Operation Wolf.
Defender of the crown.
Gauntlet (and sequels).

Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits Such a good game with some unique gameplay as far as tbs and rpgs go
Psi-ops. That game where you play a psychic special forces guy, fighting against other psychic special forces people, who were apparently your former coworkers or some shit. The ending was a setup for the sequel, but sequel never happened, now I will never know what the story was!
Man imagine this game with a proper modern physics engine.
I mean, I guess it inspired a lot of what we see in modern physics games, so I don't really need to imagine, but still, I would play it.
Well now it actually hurts
I feel like thatβs what a netrunner build in CP2077 is. Sure, itβs not psi ops, but itβs basically magic brain spell attacks

Definitely Icy Tower
Also, not really a video game, but those desktop destroyer type games. I'm not sure what any of them were called but it was a fun waste of time in my computer class.

It's not underrated or forgotten, but LOTR two towers.
Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner
I was gonna say I was still waiting for a seaman 2, but apparently it existed in Japan. Still, with AI bullshit being all the rage I could see it make a comeback.
Below the Root for C64.
Mass Effect Andromeda, the middle of that game dragged, but the first third was pretty good and the last third was amazing, but most people didn't stick through the boring middle to get there. I really wish it got dlc and sequels, I wanted to see where that story went.
Most people saw the facial animations and swore it off before even playing the game. Looking past it's flaws, I always felt it was a fine sequel, though the first game is definitely still the special one.

Ogre Battle. I'd love to play a game like that again. I think Unicorn Overlord took some inspiration from it so I'm excited to check that out.
The original Way of the Samurai. It was really cool and unique little game. The sequels never really followed through on the best parts of the first one though unfortunately.

Age of empires 3. The civilizations are packed full of unique units, cards and mechanics compared to previous games. The card deck mechanics and treasures speed up the early game and allow for a lot more flexibility and adaptivess. The game looks beautiful the 2005 version kind of runs like shit but the definitive version has made a lot of balance and performance improvements.
Anddddd shooting formations of infantry with cannons is fun as.
It's my least favourite of the Age games, but that's only because it's such a highly competitive field. It still ranks very highly with me. Fantastic game.
Which was your favorite civ to play? I used to be a Dutch player but now I almost exclusively play Russian. I've been meaning to try out Malta and Ethiopia they look cool.

Magic carpet 2, the Netherworlds is one I played a ton and think of from time to time. I wonder what I modern remake would be like.
It's the first game I remember playing with deformable terrain.
Legend of Kage for NES was an awesome minimalistic beautiful game and Iβve never met anyone else who thinks so
Desert Strike was so cool.
Soviet Strike was really good. One of the first PlayStation games I played (rented from Blockbuster!)
I remember being blown away by the video cutscenes in a game.

I had forgotten about this game. It was a fun time. I think there was a Jungle Strike also
The last memory I have of Desert Strike going to a local video game and card game place (Heebeegeebees in Ogden, Utah before they expanded) with some of my siblings and buying this for some portable system (GBA?) and starting to play.
I then heard the owner (who was still in the shop back then) say βWe can do this the easy way or the hard wayβ. It had transpired that one of my siblings had tried to steal something. Cops got called, fun times.
For those curious, the rumor was that the easy way was police and the hard way was him chasing you with a bat

Sentinel... From waaay back. Like, Commodore 64 age. I think it would be a perfect VR game, too.
Psygnosis did a remake in the late '90s.
There is also an indie VR game I've played that's heavily based on it, damned if I can remember the name tho. I believe it's on sidequest.
I own the remake, and I actually had a fan site for it... And got to interview John Freaking Carpenter for that fan site, as he did the music for Sentinel Returns. It was exactly as awesome as it sounds.

Blast Corp 64
Destruction Derby 2 was loads of fun. I was going to say something like Choplifter, but I saw some video the other day that seems a perfect fit.
Not underrated, but I would love to have a next-gen SOCOM, and wouldn't say no to another Wipeout.
But hey, who doesnt need 43 new JRPGs?
Lugaru and Overgrowth.
Kingdom Under Fire. Still one of my all time favorite army battler games
