We all love our "Doom"," Command & Conquer", "Commander Keen" etc.

But what is a game that you love that no one seems to know and/or like? What is that one gem that makes you type your "C:>cd games" just that little tiny bit faster?

I'll go first. My pick is Normality from 1996 by Gremlin Interactive. A 3D first person point and click adventure with FMV Cutscenes. It's goofy and weird but perfectly playable. I highly recommended anyone who loves point and click adventures to try this one out. It's basically Doom Point 'n Click

Supersolvers Outnumbered. Your character (my mom would call him Joe Cool) goes to a TV broadcasting station to stop the bad guy. You get clues as to his whereabouts by solving math questions like "song A was requests 10 times but song B got 27 requests. How many more times was song B requested?". Once you get all the clues you have to deduce which room the bad guy is hiding in. Initially figuring it out is easy but it gets harder. It still holds up in my opinion.

Is this like an edutainment title?

Edit: yes it is! Interesting pick. I'll check it out!
