A "hidden gem" is a game that is considered to be great but not well-known at all. It's something you believe deserves far more recognition and reach than it currently has. A diamond in the rough.
Though a hidden gem certainly can be a highly polished experience, the term also allows a bit of roughness, leaving room for clunkiness or flaws on account of the game's scope and production values (hidden gems are rarely, if ever, big-budget). It also seems to place a slight premium on novelty and innovation, favoring but not requiring games to be fresh or experimental for their time.
With this in mind, I'm curious to hear people's opinions and hopefully get some new stuff to check out for when I find myself needing to take a break from Crash and Spyro.

So I've been tossing around a GURPS Atomic Horror/Supers/Space kind of game, the sort of thing where the players make 100-pointers in GURPS Lite to start out then add 350 points in advantages and such after a session or two.
Set in 1950, flying saucers, shooting for a classic appearance, using some updated versions of the species from GURPS Aliens.
I'm tempted to use yet another classic (Nazis on the Moon) as a sort of tutorial once the PCs get their super-abilities, but.. is that too cliched?
