All too often a fantastic game goes ignored for arbitrary reasons; doomed to commercial failure whilst the latest FIFA enjoys a ridiculous amount of success, and it’s those games that we’re looking at for today’s list. In terms of what constitutes a “flop”, we’re counting any game that didn’t live up to its publisher’s expectations when it came to sales figures.

Here are 10 Amazing Games that Totally Flopped.
