Most Obscure Titles

[MrWarioWare]

What's the least known game you've played in the past? Good? Bad? Whichever

Mine personally was a game called "Raw Danger"

wargasm

[Abethedemon]

Kung Fu Panda for Wii

 

[Mr. Duck]

Racer for MS-DOS:

Not a noteworthy game at all, just an obscure shareware title from the 90s.

Speed Power Gunbike on Playstation. Possibly one of the rarest PS1 games right now.

I find it a okay game. I liked the ideas, but the execution was off in some ways. The mech controls felt weird and you don't have control of the camera.

The three that spring to mind the best for me are Bio Freaks, Deadly Arts, and Re-Volt!

The first two were fighting games:

I fucking loved this game; it was one that I really wish that I had a buddy to play with back in the day.

This game was shit in my opinion. It felt unintuitive to the extreme, and felt slow as shit while matches whizzed by in a flash.

I actually have mixed feelings towards Re-Volt!, since it was pretty and had music I liked. But the handling was a bit on this side of shit. It also required save slots which I did not have.

Raw Danger for me was sort of like DMC, but it wasn't much of a "kill enemies" sort of game, more of a "Get through this area, survive the encounter, and then proceed to next area" game.

Bahamut Lagoon. An SRPG from Squaresoft for the SNES that combines Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy. One of the main features is that your skills are powered by dragons which are improved by feeding it items. Your magic can alter the battlefield like freezing water with Ice to make a bridge, something I rarely see in other SRPGs. It had a lot of depth so I'm disappointed that it had no sequel or port. Interesting fact, the staff was the same as FFX and they decided to recycle the plot into the latter.

Ripper

I played through this game largely because of Spoony's lets play of it. And while he did rip (pun intended) on it for the most part, I actually really like the game for some reason.

Largely due to the star power since I liked the cast and I for the most part liked the story. But the biggest reason why I like Ripper is due to it's... retro futuristic aesthetic. Like there's parts of the game where the main character puts on a VR headset and logs onto the internet. But it's done with this 90's style where internet websites range from dungeons with crt monitors displayed prominently to grids with flashing lights like Tron.

I wouldn't say it's for everyone. I mean it didn't sell well, got negative reviews and is largely forgotten for a reason. But I legitimately like it.

Plus I found a torrent about a year ago that included all of the disks, removed disk checking and came with a pre-built Dosbox executable. So there's that. I'm glad I burned it to a disk since that torrent has no more seeders anymore and it's apparently pretty hard to find a complete version of Ripper with all the disks nowadays. And I don't see GoG getting this game any time soon.

I remember Re-Volt being actually pretty good, at least the PC version, i don't know how the console ports actually play, maybe i need to check them out.

I'm playing that atm and yeah I can see the plot elements FFX took already early on.

Obscure game I have played? It's gotta be Beggar Prince for the Genesis, a Chinese made RPG based on the Prince and the Pauper story. It's ok but I wish the controls were a little better.

One I want to play so badly: Moon Remix RPG Adventure, a game that deserves to be called a "quirky", it was made by the now defunct Love de Lic for the PS1. I heard the fan translation is nearly complete.

Rocko's Modern Life and Family Dog on the SNES and they both really sucked from what I can remember. Best one I ever played was Roll Away on the PS.

Handling was not so hot on the N64 IMO. They really changed the music for it too, which I didn't know, since the N64 version is the one I'm familiar with.

I also stupidly forgot to mention that I've played Liberal Crime Squad, made by the brothers who did Dwarf Fortress. The others are just the ones I distinctly remember as a kid, and also the ones I have stronger memories for.

One of my favorites growing up was Quarantine 2: Road Warrior. Not a great game by any means, but the comic book cut scenes and funny sense of humor kept me coming back.

Spoiler: video

Spoiler: gameplay

Every gameplay video on youtube seems to be of the opening level of the game which is not very exciting, but it gets the point across.

Best Game Ever!

Seriously, this game ate up my life. Sadly it was only released on the soon to be defunct Turbo-Grafx 16 console.

I'm also real fond of Painkiller but that's a slightly better know game.

 

[Overcast]

Not that good of a game from what I remember.

This on the other hand:

Awesome game. It's a damned shame it never got a sequel.

 

[Tookie]

Harry the Handsome Executive. You play as a guy who rolls around an office on building on a swivel chair defeating a Dalek uprising with a staple gun.

 

[trueandhonestfan]

Probably Lost Magic or Conception II (or at least the most obscure that come to mind). The former is a strategy game (real time, all movement is done with the Stylus, you use magic by drawing runes) and the later is an RPG (terrible at that) with dating sim elements (decent at that).
