The hunting game in Oregon Trail.
Not a minigame, but Maniac Mansion being within The Day of the Tentacle is probably my fav.
The minigames in shenmue/yakuza. They are literally full games.
Didn’t rocket league originate from a minigame ?
No, it’s the sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars
The cornfield photo minigame in mario party ds
Pretty much every minigame in Majora’s Mask is making you forget the world is ending
Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal had a side scrolling Captain Quark game that was quite good
the game.
Fk I lost
The full 4K version of Timesplitters 2 inside Homefront: The Revolution, but you have to play something like 75% of Homefront to reach it. I’ll reach it one of these days.
Playing Receiver in Receiver 2 was a fun surprise.
Caravan from Fallout: New Vegas has a notoriously bad tutorial, but is easy enough to grasp and fun as an early-game money source. Would have benefited from a Gwent-style sidequest chain.
Geometry Wars in Project Gotham Racing 2.
The Chao racing from Sonic Adventure on the dream cast. You could take the memory card out and use it as a tamagotchi to care for the little guy and make it train so it gets faster and stronger in the real game.
It got no better than that.
The mini pinball game, at the top-right of the Family Guy pinball table(2007).
It is fast paced and well put together.
That really makes me laugh and cry
Demontower, found within Night in the Woods. That could easily be a standalone short game
