Obscure games that only YOU have played.

I'm not entirely sure if this is obscure or not, but nobody I know has heard of it, so I'll count it.  An amazing fps that essentially let you be a badass jedi with guns.  The plot was solid and the arena matches were cool.  On top of that, it was my first fps.

A point and click adventure game called Harvester. This is just one fucked up game. No one talks about it. Its just.... well you just need to see for yourself. Its full of violence and gore, sex, masturbation, murder, suicide, child abuse, profanity, cannibalism, prostitution, pedophilia, molestation, arson, theft, serial killing, senicide, racism, and much much more. You NEED to see it for yourself. One of the goriest (EDIT:Well not really the goriest but very detailed.) games I have played. And also as a spoiler to the game's multiple endings, they are all the bad endings. At least all the endings I got. It was just too fucked up. Had some humor in it too.

I never got to try it outside of some sort of demo on the Dreamcast, but it's something of a cult game. Surprisingly addictive considering how simple it is (but then the same can be said for so many other games too).

Oh hey I used to have that game. Jafar was the one who really played it though. I might have given it a try once or twice in the past. I might even still have it. (At least, it's case might still be hanging around.)

Obscure games? Well that's something. This was a game so unbelievably obscure that I can't even remember the name of it (how helpful), but it was some old DOS game I played back in late 1994, 2D-platforming nonsense in which you controlled some sort of spaceman or other and explored caves to collect treasures, all while avoiding aliens and all the usual hazards present in these sorts of games (pits, spikes, random green shit, fire etc.). Nobody else who I've ever mentioned this game to knows what I'm talking about, and often look at me for it as if I've just contracted leprosy.

I only remember it myself for two reasons:
- Really stupid and lacklustre music.
- When you died, your guy's head disappeared and smoke was seen coming from the neck of his suit.

You talking about Crystal Caves?

I don't think anyone I knew had ever heard of these games, much less played them.

Nope, as obvious as it would seem. You're not the first person to suggest this, and I doubt you'll be the last either. Trying to find whatever this game is though is frustrating, because I know it exists!

I've heard of them, but have played precisely none of them. I remember reading a preview of Metal Marines as a kid, and then never saw anything of it ever again.

I watched someone play MoO2, actually. I am thinking about maybe getting it someday, but it isn't too high on my priority list.
Mainly because I kind of stopped playing Turn-Based Strategy games.
It does look really good from what I've seen.

THIS GAME

I've played and I own the first two :I

The second one though makes you feel like you're playing Megaman Unlimited 2: Electric Boogaloo.

[Myroc]

Master of Orion II is pretty well-known, or at least known enough for it to not really count as obscure.

I own it through GoG, and although I like 4X games in general, I've never really managed to get into it. In my opinion, its fantasy cousin by the same company, Master of Magic, is the more enjoyable game, even though it is hilariously broken not as well-designed as the former.

[Koal]

Well I never really knew anyone who had ever played it, but if you want to get truly obscure then have I got a couple of gems for you

And exactly how many people even know of the toy line this comes from? And speaking of which, those toys were kick ass.

[Magnet Dood]

Heh, Toy Commander. I have a game pretty similar to it- I thought it was a game where you took control of plastic toy soldiers, but you just play as some shrunken kid with a dart gun.

It was a disappointing purchase, to say the least.

No, it was Equinox over here too. Check out the absurd box art!
