The Big Space Mess. 2D Infinite runner style game, not very well made, but it wasn't that bad since I got it for free.

Star Trek: Armada was an RTS game that I always held fond memories of. I played it with my dad back in the day and it had a storyline that I legit cared about at the time.
Picard and the Enterprise, along with a strike fleet were patrolling the alpha quadrant for remaining dominion forces when a strange ship, the USS Premonition, emerges out of a temporal vortex while being pursued by the borg. The Premonition delivers a warning to picard that the Borg are planing an invasion of the federation and the future where he came from, the borg succeeded. Picard then passes the info off to starfleet while Worf, acting as an ambassador to the klingons is being chased by toral who wants to rule the empire. During the klingon campaign, Worf and Martok tussle with a civil war within the empire and discovering that the Romulans were behind the war. Martok goes to war with the romulans, declining the federations request for aid against the borg. Meanwhile, Sela is doing some work for the Tal Shiar involving the capture of a stable omega particle, which the borg wants. Knowing this, Sela uses this as leverage to get the borg to wipe out the remnants of Toral's forces and later destoying them. After repeated failures, The Borg raid a dominion outpost with a cloning facility and resurrect Locutus. Locutus then leads his forces in capturing the omega particle and ensuring the klingon-romulan peace talks never succeed which allows them to invade earth space and assimilating earth, not before Picard was sent back in time to ensure the peace talks were a success. After fending off the borg, the federation, klingons and romulans launch a joint invasion of borg space and destroy the omega particle to put an end to the collective's plans. Locutus pulls a star trek first contact and tries to kill Picard shortly after the Farpoint mission, only to be stopped by the Premonition.

Gunfighter: The Legend of Jesse James, a cheap Western-themed knock-off of Time Crisis 1 for the original Playstation where you played as Jesse James and you could use either the Ps1 Dual Shock controller or the original GunCon 1.
Despite being released around 2000-2001, near the end of the PS1's life cycle, the graphics look like a very early Playstation game made in 1995 or 1996.

Does anybody remember Serious Sam? I find the Serious Sam games to be far superior than to anything made by Gearbox's Duke Nukem. Not disrespecting the profound legacy the older games had an influence of FPSs that aren't complete and utter shit, but Gearbox should've never been handed the license to make a Duke Nukem series. They should have just stuck to making Half-Life map-packs.

Here is some footage of me playing a really weird and mediocre rip off of Grand Theft Auto from 2005.
It's also a beat em up, and a really uninspired one at that.
Please excuse the emulation errors.

I just found Metropolismania 2 from Natsume for PS2 at a thrift store.
It's a quirky/weeby Japanese SimCity clone with Animal Crossing social elements and also product placement for some Japanese store brands like Uniqlo and MOS Burger.
It's in the category of "western localizations that give NPC's non-Japanese names even if it's obvious to anyone with two functioning brain cells that it takes place in Japan".

No more heroes. I mean if somebody has played it I'd love to discuss it with them.

Can I admit that Metropolismania 2 is a somewhat better game than most online reviews would have you believe?
Yes, it's a SimCity clone, that much is obvious to anyone who has ever played SimCity, but the difference is that, aside from the overhead town designer aspect, you wander around the town at street level as a Japanese municipal worker and get involved in the daily lives of the citizens instead of the citizens just being abstract population counts and that makes a huge difference in the overall feel of the game compared to SimCity (take note that I haven't played any SimCity game made since about the turn of the century so perhaps you get more involved with the citizens in more recent SimCity games than you do in the ones I've played).
Another major difference is that, in MetropolisMania 2, all the zones you allocate are to accommodate specific individuals who want to move to your community, you don't just build zones willy-nilly like in SimCity and hope people move in.

If thats the game where are a playing as some weeb with a lightsaber, I did play it. That said, it's not exactly an obscure game, especially since it got a sequel.

Less obscure, but still weebish as hell. Going through the steam-version of Akiba's Trip: Undead and Undressed.

Somehow I completely forgot about this game.
It was a strange little game that had a mixture of 2D and 3D platforming. You played as this little egg dude named Charlie and had to shut down the mill he worked in after he fucked up and caused it all to go out of control.
An interesting mechanic was that you had to regularly go to fans to cool off as the mill was a very hot place to work in. Get too hot and you automatically die.
Speaking of dying,there were quite a lot of FMV's featuring Charlie getting splattered all over the floor every time you fall into a pit. It's fine though seeing as how he was an egg.

I grew up with that game. I tried so hard to get good at it, but I could only ever get to the third level.

Robot Alchemic Drive for the Ps2 is one of my favorite obscure games. You are a little anime dude who controls a giant robot using a playstation controller in the game itself. But like, you aren't in the cockpit, you are literally on the ground and need to be on a building either miles away or riding on your mech's shoulder to even see what the hell you were doing. It's a great series and wish they brought more over to America.
Oh and the voice acting is incredible:

Never crossed anyone who finished or even played this game. It's a very good JRPG.
