    Quest64 (n64) was some great open-world gameplay with a decent story.

    Wave Racer (n64) fun multiplayer racing game with a fantastic soundtrack

    Hunter: The Reconning (xbox 1) a little on the new side since it came out in 2002, but it was one of those WoD video game ports that managed to split the difference between modern gothic horror and Diablo-style monster grind. Lots of fun level design, boss fights, and a good mix of character classes.

    Grandia II (dreamcast) underappreciated JRPG
