Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

Not sure how unpopular it is, but "The Settlers 2: 10th Anniversary" is a great remaster of a game which I think is a bit forgotten now. It's still a really fun and charming citybuilder with unique mechanics.

I think there is a FOSS projects based on Settlers 2 called Widelands. If you like that, it might be worth checking out.

Nice! Thanks for the tip. I really enjoyed Settlers II back in the day. Will give this a try

I don't think it's unpopular as in "people don't like it". I get the impression that very few people in the US have ever heard of this series, which is a shame.
