Favorite Obscure Video Games

I'm wondering if you'll have enough time to squeeze out a 20th post before you're shown the door.

I know it's hard to tell through text, but I'm just giving Super Mod a hard time.

Lighten up a little, life is way too short to sweat the small stuff. :-)

He made it to 21 before getting a week's worth of time out.

PS: I do not have a sense of humor like he does.

Hmm....

I do enjoy a bit of Dark Cloud on PS2, don't know if that's obscure.

Also,

Roll Away on PS1
Dungeons of Daggorath on TRS-80
To the Earth on NES


lastly, one of my faves...
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on GBColor

I love bomberman hero for n64, even though it kind of sucked I loved it as a kid. I still have memories of me not having any real freinds , the only thing I had was a ps1 and an n64. ahhh the memories of bomberman hero are coming back to me

[obesolete]

Favourite obscure video game:

Buck Rogers - Coleco ADAM (tape drive)

As the second game I ever played (on a home system I owned), it will always have a special place in my heart.

Is that related to the Amiga and Genesis game? The latter was pretty rad....

Before that I believe. I read somewhere the Adam version was also on the Atari 2600 and 5200, maybe other systems as well.

The full name was Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom.

Played that game a lot back in the day. Too bad I don't still have the Adam... it crashed and burned (literally, there was smoke) when I was a kid. Moved up to a 7800 after that.

I don't think there is such a thing as an obscure game on these forums, but Bushido Blade 2 (PSX) or Wrestlemania 2000 (N64) are a couple of games that never get tiring to me.

I'm gonna throw out Slime World for the Genesis. It takes some getting used to, but it's a lot of fun. The 2 player co-op was great, my friend and I used to rent Slime World from the local video store all the time.

neo driftout. The game is purely amazing and not a lot of people seem to know about it.

Well both of mine fall into the Game Gear, oddly enough:

Dragon Crystal : THis game totally ruled, it was turn based kinda, but in a weird weird way...there is this little egg that follows you around and with exp -turns into a baby dragon, then the dragon gets bigger and then he grows armour..and you know what the best part is? i dont know what happenes after that cause the game is hard as Frank Dux...oi vey..PS if anyone has ever beaten this game, let me know, drop me a mail or something, cause id love to know what happens, i been trying to beat this thing since the 8th grade, and im 23 now;(

I remember that one!! That was my first roguelike...but yeah, it WAS hard...I've only gotten far enough to see the egg hatch once, and I used to play that game a LOT.

Check out Shiren the Wanderer or the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games (not kidding), they're turn-based in the same way, also feature randomized levels, and are insanely hard...

Actually, I've only tried Shiren myself, but I've heard the Pokemon Mystery Dungeons are just as punishing. I've got the rom sitting on my acekard, I'll have to give it a spin one of these days.

I add a few more:

Gameboy:
BC Kid 2, different to the orginal.
Flash on the gb
Ninja Gaiden Shadow, awesome, and I don't really like NG games, cept maybe the arcade version.
Donkey Kong Land, not just a port, almost like a totaly different game can't say that for the rest of the DKL and DKC ports though.
Kid Dracula, really nifty Castlevania lite game by Konami.
Hammering Harry VS the Ghost building Company, really good.
The first two TMNT games.
Flintstones platformer, better than the 16 bit counter parts imo.

I must say that the GB had some awesome games in it's time.

Blade on the gbc almost like spartan x type game, with some cool moves.

NES:
Mr. Gimmick, Kirby beater?
Power Blade 2, much better than the first one.
Wagyan Land 3, lite-platformer
Keroppi 2, lite-platformer
Code Name - Viper, awesome Capcom version of Rolling Thunder?
Daiku no Gen San 2, aka Hammering Harry 2
Hammering Harry, a really cool port of the arcade version with lots of extra stuff.
Adventure Island 4, The AI adventure type game I liked because it was more about platforming than metrovaning around most of the time.
Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2 aka Kid Nikki 2, not that anyone knows who kid nikki is?, like both games, equally.
Little Samson: Really fun megaman-lite type game, I just dragon all the way.

SMS:
Master of Darkness, lots of style, damn this game is awesome, it's like a lost Castlevania game, graphics are awesome for a SMS, you'd think it was early 16bit? I don't know why the hell they didn't realease it for the genny, maybe cause Konami would sue their pants off?
Batman Returns, so much better than the Genny version, it's really cool.
Black Belt, man this is way better than spartan x imo.
