But remember that when it came out, Starcraft wasn't balanced as well as it is now, and the same with Total Annihilation. Also, SC has three races instead of two, and they're all very different from each other, while in TA "only" the units are different (it's still a huge difference, but not as big as in SC).
So why is TA better than SC? First of all, because SC completly forgets navy combats. There aren't ships nor lakes, and sea is very iportant in war (Pearl Harbour, D-day, Midaway). Second, in SC they don't give importance to air combat There are only a very few flying units, there aren't bombers, choppers and this kind of units in SC isn't well characterized. Third, the selection of units: in SC you can only select 20 units in a group, while there isn't this limit on TA; and this limit is a very annoying thing. Four, the single player missions are better in TA than SC, with a better plot (but this is a persional opinion). Five, there are more weapons (especially defensive ones) in TA; and there are long range units (Beerta, Intimidator) that improve the quality of gameplay, while in SC there are only mid range units. And finally, don't forget the soundtrack: if you hear TA soundtrack you can't say that it's worse than SC one, as it's considered one of the best game soundtracks of 90s. I also prefer the way you collect resources in TA (but this is a personal opinion).
Maybe I forgot a couple of reasons, but mainly this is why I like TA better than SC.

My favorite under-rated games are:

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

Skies of Arcadia

Super Mario Sunshine

It doesn't seem like Zelda games are underrated, but I suppose Majora's Mask and/or Wind Waker might be.

Well, Zelda games are not underrated in general. The thing with Wind Waker was that a lot of people were put off by the cel-shaded art style. I think the impact was worsen because, a little less than a year before the first Wind Waker images/videos were released, Nintendo had show a short video of a mature, realistic looking Link fighting a realistic looking Ganondorf.
Truth-be-told, I think the short video ended up turning into Twilight Princess.

As for Majora's Mask, I have no idea. I think people were turned off because they didn't want to deal with and/or limited by the three day system that the game had.

Ironically, plenty of people are now saying that Wind Waker wasn't so bad, and that they prefer it over Twilight Princess. I personally agree. Twilight Princess is lacking in the areas that made Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker so great - the whole epic feel and the puzzle solving. Keep in mind that this is not accepted everywhere though.

Space World 2000 Zelda (as it is called now) has nothing in common with Twilight Princess, I don't think.

I really like Majora's Mask except for the thing you say turns many off. The game would have been every bit as sweet without it...
