I haven't seen any mention of Dark Forces in this thread. Although it lacked a multiplayer mode, I have very fond memories of this one. The level design felt really ahead of its time, with multiple layered floors and the abilities to duck and jump. It's also the first FPS I remember that had alternative firing modes for most weapons.

Another great LucasArts FPS from that time that never really caught on is Outlaws. It was set in the Wild West and sported cartoony graphics and an awesome orchestral soundtrack. I suspect the lack of success was due to the use of whacky graphics instead of limbs flying everywhere, which was a shame because the multiplayer mode was one of the best I've ever played. You could choose one of six characters, each with their own advantages and disadvantages and there were a ton of user created maps despite the relatively small base.

fakeedit: Just saw that the OP mentioned Dark Forces. I didn't even know there was a sequel.
