Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Incredible Machine, Metal Arms Glitch in the System, Wargroove, Gradius 3.

Thank you for reminding me of The Incredible Machine! I am going to add its two sequels that most people have never heard of, TIM: Contraptions (essentially a HD re-release of the first game in a new engine.) and TIM: Even More e Contraptions (What would now be sold as DLC.)

Holy crap there was an HD re-release? I am not even sure which one I actually played. I think it was just TIM 3.0 from 1995

+1 for Metal Arms Glitch in the System. It had some great characters and gameplay. It’s a shame that they never competed the sequel.
