Those obscure games you play/played...
« on: August 25, 2011, 07:06:11 PM »
...that you think veeeery few other people did, or not at all!  Dat topic title limit... >:V I bothered to check all 12 topic pages and there was nothing like this, either so...

 I wanted to know about games you guys have played (even better if you liked them!) which you think were barely heard of at any point in your life. Because even though the fact remains that there are thousands of games out there, it can be forgotten over time after playing the same series for too long even if said series spawn new games! This brings up the question: "Is there something else out there that is not Mario/Halo/etc. that can amuse me?"

So, I don't think these saw too much light and totally deserve remakes and/or sequels I can dream... D: :

- Vortex (Snes)
- Stunt Race FX (SNES)
- Nanostray 1 and 2 (DS)

Just to name a few right now. I was gonna say Sunset Riders, but it appears to be decently known, from what I've seen.

Not to be rude but shouldn't this be in General Gaming?

I can't think of any obscure games that I played.
Most likely some movie game.

Either that or Pokemon Pinball on GBA

Need For Speed 3 - Hot Pursuit (I can't write down much I loved this game)
Wario Master Of Disguise (May not be the best I've played but it's still a pretty cool game!)

Errrr lemme think a bit....

Maybe Diddy Kong Racing
Crash Team Racing? We might have heard of that
Tetris DS.
Bomberman Hero.

Maybe some others if I can think of them

Touhou is pretty unknown out of this community. After that I don't know what else, maybe the english beta of Starfox 2?

Lol Touhou is obscure. I don't think anyone can go anywhere without seeing Touhou in some way, shape or form.

Anyways, I'm not sure if Riviera the Promised Land counts as obscure, least I don't really hear anyone mentioning it.
Also Luminous Arc 1 and 2.
Clock Tower(snes)
Romancing Saga3
RosenkreuzStilette... maybe? People outside of the megaman based communities don't seem to know about it.
Tons more that I have forgotten.

Hard to know for sure if a title is obscure or not.

Hey, I've played Glover and Diddy Kong Racing back when they were new (DKR was one of the first games I played when I was 2 or 3).

Anyway, I've got one: Sands of Destruction.

I've yet to meet someone who says they know what it is  :ugeek:

Tzar: The Burden of the Crown. Real Time Strategy sent in some fantasy version of europe around the crusades (I think). Seems to be one of those games everyone has atleast one copy of yet everybody seems to think they're the only persons who know about it.
