Games you've played that you're sure no one else has.

This way we can all find people who have played them, or just find a game worth checking out. Mine is Steambot Chronicles, I hope to god they localize the sequel over here.

[Nitro Vordex]

Another Code/ Trace Memory.

Just kidding. I know it's a good game though.

[Sgt_Shligger]

Phantasy Star Online.

[Sharkyland]

Interesting topic (I have a lot to add when I can find my video game list) All I have to do is just find the games that I own that have no FAQ on GameFAQs. I have a few FAQs written up but I haven't gotten time to post them.

- Black Matrix II (J PSX)
- Black Matrix Double Zero (J PSX)
- Builder's Block (US PSX)
- Guardian Recall (J PSX)
- Marica (J Saturn)
- Shadow Dragonspell (J PS2)

[Eihwaz]

The only semi-obscure game I own is probably Contact, for the DS.

[AC9breaker]

Masters of Monsters for Sega Genesis. I use to love this game, its like advance Wars meets Pokemon. You would upgrade and level up your Monsters and they would evolve into stronger monsters. Its was pretty freaking sweet and I put in alot of hours into that game back in Grade school.


Edit: There was a PS2 sequal or ps1, Don't remember but I never played it.

Edit 2: Sweet found a vid.

I know no one has played this game, it used to be really popular on M-Play, then the company went under and it disappeared http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif G-Nome.

Anyhow the game was uber rape. Think of Mechwarrior 4, but back in 1994.

Madou Monogatari: Hanamaru Daiyouchienji

Unfortunately, I think Compile went under, I know the rights to Puyo Pop now belong to Sega and are produced by Sonic Team, but they replaced the main cast and seem unwilling to continue the Madou Monogatari series, which is a real shame.

Not that they'd get localized anyway, but still. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Puyo Pop was actually a spin-off from Madou Monogatari, so the pre-Fever Puyo games share the same cast of characters.

Yep. Great game, maybe not on the same level as Mana, but the art and music is/were amazing in the game.


I'm sure people have played that, so on a more serious note....


http://www.consoleclassix.com/info_img/Pirates_Gold_GEN_ScreenShot1.jpg

I doubt anyone's played this gem. I was hooked when Sega Channel was still around, and ended up buying it from Funcoland when Suburban Cable discontinued the service.

[ABDUR101]

G-nome, Slave Zero(PC and DC release), Brute Force, all fun games.

Add in Tiger Shark, a game in which you had an attack boat that could hydroplane on the surface of the water, shoot missiles and so on at surface and air targets, but could then dive like a VERY fast attack submarine to attack undersea enemies.

Amok was a fun 'mech'ish attack game. For the Genesis there were two games; one was an action tactical game, you led numerous troops around a battlefield and each one had a certain attack(Grenade thrower, flamethrower, machine gunner, rocket launcher, etc) and then there was a game in which you took control of a monster, and you'd fight in big arenas for crowds; after you killed certain monsters you'd acquire their DNA and could splice your current monster with the defeated monster DNA to create something new. Was a very fun game.

However, Pirates! was a fucking awesome game. That game was the SHIT on Sega Channel and I could never find a copy in stores.

Zero Tolerence for the Sega.

Here are some other Genesis games:
Vectorman
Ultraman
TimeKillers
SeaQuest DSV(Though if you grew up when I did, you no doubt watched that show religiously. It was Stargate except under the ocean, and it fucking ROCKED.)
Skeleton Crew(Nifty action-shooter, different characters with different abilities to choose from.)
Soldiers of Fortune
Ranger X(Awesome game, finding new abilities to wire into your suit)
Revolution X(Wow..ok..really, anyone else who's played this gets some kind of points)
Ooze(You play as a scientist who gets turned into a living mass of ooze, kill things and absorb them to make your mass larger. Fun game.)
MERCS!(Mercenaries, in mah 16bit era!)
Mutant League Hockey(and Football. The only sports games I could ever really enjoy, along with Megaman Soccer.)
Lethal Enforcers(my brother bummed the kit from his friend, and it had the guns. Beat the hell out of wasting quarters at the arcade!)
King of the Monsters(Godzilla-era brawling, sans cool monsters except for one or two. Dibs on the giant beetle!)
General Chaos(was the name of the game I could'nt remember above. Classic Red Vs Blue army game, humorous and bloody!)
Final Zone(Mech action, top down view. Win.)
Exo-Squad(For those who used to watch the Cartoon, hurray.)
Dinosaurs for Hire(Dinosaur mercs, killing rampaging dinosaur monsters. It was going off of Contra's fame abit.)
Doom Troopers - The Mutant Chronicles(Not sure how popular this game was, but it really had the graphics down, another Contra-like.)
Cosmic Carnage
Beast Wrestler(I beleive this is the one I mentioned above, with the DNA fusion between your monster and others you fight.)
Brutal - Paws of Fury


and thats all I can peice together after using a vast site of games and pictures to peice together my childhood memories. o_O

I dunno how popular most of those games were, merely because I did'nt talk about videogames with the kids I knew at school.

Armadillo Run, The Incredible Machine, and The Incredible Toon Machine

Really fun sandbox games, the first one being more focused on physics than the other two and less open-ended.

I have slave zero, I was thinking about playing Gotcha Force, but don't know if it's worth 25 bucks...

Stupid Invaders on DC. Bangai-O for DC??? (I'm guessing SOMEONE here has played that...) DDR Party Collection on JP PS2.

Batman Returns, Stun Runner, Turbo Sub for Atari Lynx. Kolibri, Metalhead, Shadow Squadron for 32x.

Played Stupid Invader and Bangai-O, and played The Incredible Machine.

Super Putty, Plok!, and Sugoi Hebereke.

Though, I believe I've seen some people mention Plok! on this board before. Plok! was actually fun, but embarrassing to play. Super Putty kind of sucked, Sugoi Hebereke I thought was just plain funny.

Kirby's Dream Course is next to godliness.

Zoop for SNES was a terrible game that I hope nobody else has ever subjected themselves to.

Heretic Kingdoms- PC.
Hydro Thunder on PC.
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo PC.
Mortyr and Mortyr 2- PC.

That's all I can think of for now. Maybe later I'll remember a few more.

[Jife_Jifremok]

I'll start by listing the games you've mentioned that I've played.

Steambot Chronicles - Excellent game, and I normally get BORED by relaxing kinds of games.

Astrosmash and Star Strike - Were these Intellivision games?

Stargate - Do you mean the Genesis one? I remember that. Anubis was one cheap motherfucker.

Sewer Shark - I remember this! "Your new callsign is Ratbreath!" I bet it aged like shit though...

Pirates! Gold - I can't say if this counts, since I only played it on an emulator while searching for decent pirate games after the utter disappointment of Pirates: Legend of Black Kat. I enjoyed this one a lot more than Sid Meier's Pirates! even though that was just an update of this.

Tiger Shark - Was this a Playstation 1 game? I remember going undersea to destroy things (especially geothermal power plants) but I forget anythign above the water.

Vectorman - Didn't everyone who had a Genesis play this one?

Skeleton Krew - I only played this on emulator and lost interest quickly. I probably would have eaten this one up if I played it as a child though.

Soldiers of Fortune - Another emulator-played game I lost interest in quickly.

Revolution X - Few things can quite express the spirit of teenage rebellious fantasy like a rock 'n roll-themed game where you destroy ridiculous entertainment-banning oppressors and even take down a school bus piece by piece. Whenever I hear something about the Hilary Clintons and Jack Thompsons of our world going at it again, I fear the formation of the NON.

The Ooze - Now this was awesome. I never did finish this though...

Mutant League Hockey - I hope this isn't that obscure...

Lethal Enforcers - Heheh, remember when in lightgun shooters the only direction you moved was sideways? XD

King of the Monsters - Which version? If memory serves me right, on the Genesis it was a wrestling game; on the SNES it was more like a low-rate Streets of Rage clone. The sequel was more like a fighting game though. That's if my memory is correct.

General Chaos - My very first and all-time favorite RTS game. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Exo-Squad - I ate this game up as a kid, but playing it again left my stomach churning.

Dinosaurs for Hire - I loved it as a child but haven't gotten to trying it again.

Doom Troopers: Mutant Chronicles - Bwahaha, I remember the screams and gore...and vomiting boss.

Bangai-O - I never did beat that final boss...

Sugoi Herebeke - Random Japanese-named ROMs, oh joy!

Zoop - I liked it when I first played it, but now...meh.

Blast Corps - Wasn't this on the N64? Or was there really an SNES one?

Swordquest - I have this on my Atari Anthology for PS2. I was gonna get around to finishing it, but never did...

[Jife_Jifremok]

And now for some games that I've played that I doubt any of you have. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Culdcept - Collectible Card Games melged with Monopoly for an awesome strategy board game/card game/strategy RPG hybrid. I'll bet it's gonna remain in obscurity despite being localized by Namco and on XBox 360.

Carnage Heart - As a responsible employee of some heartless corporation, it is your job to negotiate with weapons and software companies for blueprints, manage assembly lines that build squads of unmanned combat robots, program the robots, and send them off into battle against the unmanned combat robots built and programmed by the enemy corporation.
Broken Helix - I bought it for mega cheap and still have't played it. One of these days...(so does this one count?)

Robo Pit - This game is pretty much Armored Core for retards. I'm sure it predated AC by a little while, but that doesn't excuse it from sucking.

Starflight - Explore the vast reaches of space in search of new worlds for your kind to colonize, and hopefully solve the mystery that's causing the suns of each solar system to solar-flare and destroy all life. Negotiate with aliens and mine the planets for resources to upgrade your ship...wait, did you just say Star Control 2 kicks this game's ass? Well, that's pretty much true. But I didn't know about Star Control until long after I've beaten this game!

King's Field - Excellent (for its time) first-person exploration RPG series that kept things simple. It has the best magic effects I've seen in any game to date, and also the best one-handed sword designs. I've only seen three other King's Field fans outside the Agetec forums. 'Nuff said.

Shadow Tower - From the makes of King's Field comes what is essentially King's Field: Really Evil Edition. Darker atmosphere, far more dangerous monsters, and a weapon durability system combined with needing HP to repair items, that makes "ammo" resources seem more scarce than they were in Resident Evil! No wonder this remained obscure, aye? It's just not King's Field.

EchoNight - Also from the King's Field guys, a decent...uh...first-person adventure game with NO combat whatsoever! Pretty light on the horror, but it still made me reach for the lights...but maybe because I can't fight the ghosts.

Battletech - This was a pretty cool Genesis game at the time. I played this on Genesis; I hope there's an SNES version that would allow Robotron-style controls since the Genesis controller simply does not cut it here.

Herzog Zwei - A mix of action and strategy: Strategy in that you had to capture bases and build units (with basic commands like Patrol, Attack, and Defend), action in that you must actively participate in battle as a plane-mech transforming vehicle to defend your units and bases (if they needed defending), destroy enemy units (if they're proving too much a nuisance), and fight against the enemy commander whose vehicle is just like yours.

Future Cop: LAPD - Two games in one. The normal game is simply a mission-based romp where you DESTROY criminals with your transforming glideything-mech. The "Precinct Assault" game is a dumbed-down version (and/or knockoff?) of Herzog Zwei in 3D.

More to come later!

One game I think maybe a few people here played, but is still rare is the Lunar series.

[astuarlen]

Games no one else has played? Gee, not a lot, I bet. I remember playing several mediocre point-and-click games on the computer when I was but a wee lass, but alas, I can't recall their names. I guess I hope no one else played those.

I have played The Incredible Machine, though, and so did everyone at my grade school, I believe. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_clown.gif
Abdur's post reminded me of all the weird/terrible things I found amusing as a kid (could I be the only one here who, as a child, found Microsoft Excel the most fascinating thing ever? I mean, GRAPHS! Sweet! Anyone?, and now I'm thinking of this one piece of software/game(?) from which I only remember one thing: Lookalot grows hair in the middle of nowhere at night. Don't think I'll be sleeping tonight for want of a title. Does anyone else remember such a thing? I think there were also bananas and grapes involved.

You know, I've never played it, but I've been in the room while people were playing it. You have to consider though, the only real thing making that game obscure is the age. I mean, its the 2nd game in a 3 game series. Which has graced Dos, Mac, Nes, Genesis, Windows, and Xbox.

But to add to the conversation. I doubt anyone has played Dragon Shadow Spell. Its a turn based strategy rpg by Flight Plan (the people that make the Summon Night series). Its actually much like their other strategy rpg's under the summon night name. But its known for its very flashy special moves ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rsct30nIV28 ), and very anime cutscenes ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=G8fWe7VpIzk )

Space Raiders on the Gamecube.

It´s a interesting shooting kinda game.
Really hard but then again if you die.. you have infinite lives but your current score will be taken away.
So basicly..only a game if you like breaking scores and want to shoot some aliens.


P.N 03 on the Gamecube.
Action game.

It´s a little strange game where you run around, shooting down robots with your hands which can fire plasma.
The power of the plasma will depend on which suit you put on and how much you upgrade.
Besides that you have some specials that can fire really big plasma beams and stuff.

Really fun game and require good manouvers on Hard mode even with best suit.

Played it and every other Sailor Moon game for the SFC ever known to man(Some of the puzzle games were pretty good), also through ROMs. Also some Genesis side-scrolling fighter.

I know I'm not the only one who played Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion on the Genesis, since it was someone else's Genesis and their copy of the game, but nobody ever seems to have heard of it that I've mentioned it to.

Do MUDs count? Nobody but the person who introduced me to it seems to have played on Aardwolf, either.

[Syl]

I've never known anyone who played Emperor: Battle for Dune (it was like Dune 2000, but with waaaaaay better graphics) for PC.

Incoming! is another. You control different types of aircrafts to fight off aliens who are invading the planet. It came packed in with my PC back in '99. I think it was ported for Dreamcast too... but I never played the DC version. Had a pretty good soundtrack.

A semi-obscure game for the Sega Saturn: Sonic Jam. It has like all the Genesis Sonic games and a bunch of extras (concept art, commercials, etc.)

Huh, Future Cop: LAPD and Incoming. I was gonna mention those. >_< I still have my Future Cop disk lying around, I think.

A couple of mine: Metal Fatigue (PC). It's an RTS where you raise an army and such, but the main units are giant robots (along with fighters and tanks). You'd set up the assembly bay, select what kind of arms, legs, and torso you wanted, then gave the whole shebang a pilot and had them stomp and smash stuff. You could get more parts through research or hacking off an opponent's limb, bringing it back, and studying it to make yourself. Then you could use the part after it was researched normally. In fights with all 3 factions, it's pretty easy to end up having bots that look like a Frankenstein-ish mashup of parts. Too bad the AI cheats. >_<

2) Erm....am I the only one who played the X-wing and TIE Fighter (DOS, biznatches!) games here? You basically were a pilot for w/e faction was in the game, and you flew missions that followed the movie plot and expanded on some other points (such as defending the rebels during the Hoth evac). TIE fighter was a bit better due to the new ships introduced (TIE Defender FTW) and it rewarded good pilots by putting them in a "secret society" of sorts.

3) Beyond Good and Evil (PS2): Yeah, you're a reporter and all, but it's one of the few games I played that live up to the "action-adventure" label. I found my copy for 6 bucks, and I'm glad I did.

4) Metal Warriors (SNES): side-scrolling mech game that got pretty fast-paced at times, even with the starting mech. You could also pick up additional shoulder weapons for your mech mid-mission and even get out of it for brief periods (flipping a switch/switching to a mech more suited for the situation).

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure there's more, but I'll post them later

[Neith]

I've played both Incoming and Brute Force. Brute Force was a great laugh multiplayer. Used to play it when I visited a friend's house, I'd play the chick who could turn invisible.

Anyway:
- Burning Road (PSX): This is more like 'I hope none of you have played this'. It blew so much. Terrible, terrible game http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

- Front Mission 3 (PSX): Front Mission was always Square-Enix's forgotten franchise. You guys may have played it, but it's really rare in Europe now apparently.

It's tempting to say Zone of the Enders too- just because most people who bought it did so purely for the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo that came with it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif In fact, when I bought it, this happened:

Cashier: "Oh, we don't have any MGS2 demo discs left"
Me: "No problem, I'll buy it anyway"
Cashier: "What? You still wanna buy this?" http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

I actually got a price reduction on it, just because of the lack of the MGS2 demo http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif Shame, it's a decent (if a bit too short) game.

I don't recall the name, but among the unlicensed games on the NES, there was a top-down view adventure game, where you played a Christian missionary, and you had to convert thugs and thieves by pelting them with fruit. It was truly absurd, and indeed, if I knew the name, I might make an attempt to find it, just for the pure silliness of it.

I too don't recall the name of a certain NES game that I used to love to play. Twas a sci-fi sidescrolling shooter taking place on some crazy planet. First boss was a helicopter, and I used to love playing it at my cousin's place. If anyone remembers the name of it, I'd give them a dozen e-donuts. Seriously, I haven't met a single soul that knows of the game I talked about.

I used to play it when I lived in my old town at an arcade called Nickel Nickel. I was pretty bad at it though lol.

Now I play Guitar Freaks V since I've gotten better at the whole guitar game thing (and it's at my college's arcade so it's a good way to kill some time). I only have two songs that I always play though (since I still haven't heard all the songs yet >_>), Nocturne No. 9 and Black Sheep. I sometimes play BeatMania too. I don't touch Drummania though, I suck at that game >.<

You know there is an obscure 2 coming out right? From what I checked at GFAQ's, it should be late this month.

I've only remembered the first W&W, and it's one of the only games where I found it hilarious to lose. And that stupid music you hear when your near death. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif . I did beat though, all 7 stages.

Oh dear, I completely forgot about that game. One of the first games I owned for the Xbox was Brute Force. I loved that game.

[ABDUR101]

Battletech - This was a pretty cool Genesis game at the time. I played this on Genesis; I hope there's an SNES version that would allow Robotron-style controls since the Genesis controller simply does not cut it here.


That game was fucking win. Also, there was a SNES Battletech that was from the cockpit viewpoint, you'd walk around and shoot at enemy mechs, could wade in water to keep your heat down, use jumpjets, etc. Was a fun game, but did it ever get nerve wracking when you were up against some heavier mechs.

Incoming!(and its various sequels) were fun on the PC(before they got console releases).

Comix Zone was harsh, Scrub and I talked about that last night. Awesome at the time though.

Sol; fuck yeah man, Metal Warriors! My local Blockbuster had ONE copy of that for rent, and I had rented it like three weekends in a row. Prometheus was the awesome heavy walker, slow as fuck, could'nt jump but had the ability to build bridges to get it across gaps. It had an awesome main cannon that you could shoot, and then detonate the warheads for a spreadshot, aswell as an extremely powerful flamethrower up-close. Every one of those mechs was so unique and fun, and it even had two-player death match.

Metal Fatigue was actually alot of fun, three different sides, able to design your own units(right down to what each arm weapon had, the legs, the chassis, etc). The underground warfare took forever though if they got trenched in.

Also, there was an obscure puzzle game for the NES, you controlled a little blue fellow I beleive, and every screen had you needing to traverse abit of a maze with various traps and creatures who would attempt to kill you in various ways.

Also, for the record, Master Blaster on the NES. There was also a side-scrolling mech game on the NES, you were in a tall two-legged walker, could blow through buildings and jump, and if necessary you could get out and go through the sewers as your little guy to flip switches to open the path for your mech. Was a fun game.

Also, what was that one NES game, had you as the big fat russian dood throwing fireballs, had you fighting all kinds of monsters and shit. For some reason that game was awesome.

oh, and JAWS! for the NES. =D

*edit*
Ducktales on NES rocked.

Played it and every other Sailor Moon game for the SFC ever known to man(Some of the puzzle games were pretty good), also through ROMs. Also some Genesis side-scrolling fighter.

I know I'm not the only one who played Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion on the Genesis, since it was someone else's Genesis and their copy of the game, but nobody ever seems to have heard of it that I've mentioned it to.


Sailor Moon Another Story was kinda weird since you had to fight all the enemies in the past then you had to do battle with the other five inner senshi counterparts, forgot their names. Sure made a HUGE difference putting chars in the front row and the back row. Could have S Venus do like 9999 dmg in front row and do like 235 dmg in the back row.

Castle of Illusion was actually fun. There is a 2nd game, but I never got my hands on it featured Donald Duck. I think I hated the stage where you were shrunk. (they got a speed run of this on Youtube)

Ducktales was nice for the NES didn't play the 2nd game. I loved the moon stage.

"What the-? That's the roof of the Sistine Chapel!"

Tachyon's my second favorite space shooter, right after Freespace 2.

And Nitro was my fave Metal Warriors 'mech, versatile and quick when I needed it to be.

Now, there's one that I thought of I played with my best friend often. It was an arcade-style beat-em-up that featured robots, and you could select different arms, legs, and torsos to change your stats and special moves. You basically went through and beat up other robots, and if you lost your arm somehow, you could rip off an opponent's arm and take it for yourself. To this day, though, I have no freaking clue what it's called. It was on Sega Channel the same time Zombies Ate My Neighbors was on, if that helps.

I beat it (somehow, after being killed like 90 times by the water prince) but that red silhouette woman thing in the desert that made that *terrible* sound gave me nightmares for *years*.

Awesome game, somehow ended up on one of those back page of EGM Seanbaby stinker lists mention, that bastard.

I remember posting about the difficulty of the 1p mode, especially when you played it 2p and someone got stuck too far left on the map during a huge chasm long jump, then you'd respawn and fall into the hole until all your lives were gone.

Also those offscreen laser cheapo bosses.

This was in some other old PSOW topic and someone said they did manage to finish the game. leet.

Lunar: SSS (though it has been previously mentioned a couple times)... I just love this game to death.. I'm just mentioning it to mention it.

remembered another couple obscure ones I played as a kid...

Wardner for Sega Genesis. You play this stubby Frodo magician kid who runs through the forest swinging on vines and casting magic and fighting ghosts that have duck heads... and dammit it was hard, in a not-quite-but-almost ghosts and goblins kind of way.. need to ebay this..

anyone play Typing of the Dead... I'm guessing it's a possibility since alot of people here were probably playin the original PSO on dcast, and most likely had the dang keyboard already.

Caveman Games for the NES. Don't know why I rented this as a kid... bunch of minigames (foot races, she-caveman distance throwing, etc..) mildly amusing. I'd pick it up for a couple bucks if I found it at a swapmeet.

Stinger for the NES. An early Konami shooter that featured both horizontal and vertical scrolling levels, and had awesome bosses like a kitchen sink, a slice-o-watermelon and a gimpy octopus that poops his legs off at you. Oh and you fight alot of coathangers, and bomb people's houses that mysteriously turn into skulls or big wads of cash. I bought this game because a really hot girl said she loved that game as a kid. Sad..

Jeopardy Jr. for the NES. For those too slow to play regular Jeopardy? Needless to say...I logged quite a few hours. ...

[ABDUR101]

Oh Hell yeah, Caveman Games. haha, I liked the Starting a Fire one though, fucking rubbing sticks together as fast as you could, HELLO BLISTERS! And your reward? The sticks you were rubbing together combust and you get singed!

Quantum Dream which made Indigo Prophecy is making a new game for the PS3 called "Heavy Rain". Sadly there's little known about it, and I've been waiting months for new information to be released :/

Hopefully it doesn't turn out anything at all like Indigo Prophecy. I don't even see how anyone can call that mess an actual game. If you don't own it, I'll save you the trouble. Get a copy of the Matrix. Get a Simon Says. Play the Simon Says while watching the Matrix. If you mess up the Simon Says, hit Chapter Back button on the DVD remote. There, you have Indigo Prophecy. It's a new age "Dragon Lair", really.

The choice you are presented with are hollow, and none of them actually affect the storyline in any significant way. A bit of dialog changes, and the reasonings for the characters actions change, but it's promise of allowing the player to make choices is about as overhyped as Fables, and delivers even less so. Live? Die? It doesn't matter, they'll be written out of the storyline anyhow. The only time your actions have any say in the outcome of the game is in the last 30 mins or so before the ending.

For a game which calls itself an Adventure, there is a vastly underwhelming selection of puzzles - and the narrative is very inconsistent. It starts off with some real promise, introducing us to what could be a potentially deep storyline of Mayan prophecy and mysticism. Playing the role of both hunter and hunted, working against yourself as you try to keep both characters balanced on a delicate precipice of evasion and discovery. But it's wasted when, at the critical time (IMO, the museum scene), the storyline takes a nosedive into stupid-ville and any hope of a mature and well thought out storyline vanished in a blaze of Goku-esque super powers provided by alien artifacts and AI. And I still don't understand how the love affair between Lucas and Carla formed. There wasn't even so much as a segway or block of text explaining what happened in those three months... or that three had even passed! WTF?

To say nothing of the horrid "stealth" scenarios.

A much better game (though still pretty bad due to the 1995'ish control scheme) which was released about the same time was Still Life, a somewhat-sequel to Post Mortem in which you're playing an FBI agent tracking down a Jack-the-Ripper-esque copycat murder that mirrors a case her grandfather worked on years ago. At the very least it had much more graphic nudity than Indigo Prophecy. Of course, the only nudes were the bloody, eviscerated corpses...


So... uh... yeah, to stay on topic. Still Life is a game I played that I doubt many other's have.

Agree with Indigo Prophecy not being super awesome/genre defining. It wrapped up way too quickly with nonsense, including a big unsolved cliffhanger of dead, re-animated by computer monster entities Lucas, still walks the earth in that disheveled state - able to procreate and produce offspring when he's an ice cold-no breath corpse?!

Also a big choice I made of not succumbing to Tyler's girlfriend's out of nowhere want to just go run away to Florida, dropping your police career and the big case. But when you do choose that path, you just lose 80% of your emotional stamina and never get to use that guy the rest of the game. They just dropped him out of the story.

Regarded as one of those over-over-over-over-hyped games that basically blew ass, I remember getting the game and being suckered into it along and I returned it after it was beat it was a decent idea done bad nonetheless. It's definitely up there with the State Of Emergency Over-Hype. Doesn't really matter if they make a shitty sequel of halo or not, it just has that fan base to back it up regardless. I still regard halo 3 as a terrible sequel imo they made it less competitive and basically turned into a whoever shoots first wins in a fight kind of deal where skill doesn't outrank the fact that you hold R and use AA. In the end I prefer Halo 1 if it ever had live support and not XBC/Gamespy/Xlink, Halo > Halo 2> Halo3 The single player in Halo 1 rocked as well.

No, I played Vortex aswell. That was a single weekend rental, as the game kinda lost its luster. It was neat playing in 3D, going up on top of giant cubed 'buildings'. It was a neat test-run of what the SNES could do with the SFX chip, considering it was all done on 16bit.

Demon's Crest for the SNES, I think it was abit of an under-rated title at the time because of Ghouls and Ghosts and Castlevania sort of stealing the lime-light, but that game was awesome. You're a demon imprisoned in the demon world, when you were over-thrown. You break out, and embark on a quest to gather all your powers back(which were divided amongst the demon's who conspired to take you down). You had various forms to take, such as a water form for underwater swimming/breathing and water attacks. A strong, hulking form that gave you the ability to smash large objects(Ground element), Air form which gave you massive wings and the ability to ascend/descend as high as you wanted(and to fly through strong winds). Then there was an ultimate form.

Add in various trinkets to give you different abilities and spells to buy for casting magic or summoning. You'd even go into a fly-mode to get around the world map(trying to land at various landmarks on the 2D plane below you was cool, as you could find areas).

Kinda sad that I remember some of my childhood gaming, but alot of the games I just can't remember their names; and that is quite frustrating! Though its cool to read through a thread like this and have someone else mention something, then you get a flood of memories and go "oohhhh shit yeah!".

Demon's Crest makes me sad I no longer have an SNES. >_< I never did beat the secret boss you could fight after clearing the game with all the items and getting the "real" ending.

Here's a mildly advertised PC one called Evolva. You had four "Genohunters" and you went through areas with them to cleanse a parasite that was eating the planet you were on. Killing the creatures allowed you to absorb their DNA, which you could then use to mutate new weaponry or enhance their stats with. Puzzles mainly came in the form of getting "binary explosives" together to destroy enemy "structures". Your guys started off kinda plain, but they started growing some wicked spikes and stuff as you got more DNA to mutate with. I've yet to find anyone else who played this, sadly.

Para Para Paradise, the least masculine game ever. I'm pretty sure that my half sister's beloved Barbie Magic Hairstyler was less girly than PPP. The home controller is hilarious. The box is hot pink with hibiscus flowers. The BUBBLEWRAP surrounding the controller is hot pink. The controller itself consists of five connected hot pink flower-shaped sensor pods. There's a placement guide for aligning them correctly on the floor, which has hibiscus flowers printed in purple on yellow paper. It's hilarious.

Anyone like Keyboardmania? :<

That used to be at my arcade, but since no one played it, it got replaced by Dance Maniax though http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_nono.gif

And as for ParaParaParadise, although I haven't played it, I have seen a cabinet and people playing it at the Anime Expo in Long Beach last year lol.

[Nai_Calus]

I've only seen one arcade that had it. :< And that's in Arkansas, rofl, I live in Cali. (Lived in Memphis at the time, heh, still too far of a drive even then. And this was five years ago.)

Unfortunately it was next to the DDR machine... XD;

I've always enjoyed anything well-armored and powerful, in G-nome it was the Scorp Widowmaker and Scorpion HAWCS.



Heavy Assaults, Sentry, and Tactical Defense HAWCs? Those are bad against me, I can literally just kill those with my machine gun did it all the time in online play. Sigh I miss that online play because I always used Mercs, you know extra speed and armor but no auto eject, made things funner.

I wouldn't call the PS1 Lunar games obscure since they have a cult following but I guess they were ignored by most if not casual gamers. Awesome games, defenetly the most fun I have ever had playing an rpg.

Most of my obscure games come from the NES period, some of which are soo obscure I can't name them since I don't know what they are called although I do remember what it was like to play these games.

NES

Rescue Embassy Mission
Rolling Thunder
Heavy Barrel
Little Nemo: The Dream Master
Battletoads & Double Dragon

SNES

Parodius

[ABDUR101]

NES Rescue Rangers bitches!

[ljkkjlcm9]

I own Faxanadu and NES rescue rangers, both of them

How about for NES... Monster Party, Dino Rikki, Rad Gravity... those were some of my favorites
I could do Intellivision, but that's almost unfair.

if you like those and have a DS, the game to get is Planet Puzzle League. Same game, you can use the touch screen, and it has online play. I love it, and I've had like 10 minute matches with people, it's good.

This is a video game forum with a higher than likely # of import/animu freaks but I remember playing someone's gold disc copy of Vampire Hunter D, possibly nobody played that.

Don't remember much besides wall jumping in some generic mansion hallways though. Like Devil May Cry, only a bit worse.

[Poncho_Jr]

Oh wow... I didn't expect many people like the Tetris Attack, or whatever you wanna call it franchise. Planet Puzzle Legaue sounds nice, cause it'd be fun to get some good competition around here. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

You've miss-quoted me.

I'm guessing the fact that you posted this reply proves that you've never heard of it so surely it counts as obscure.

Battletoads and Double Dragon, interesting game. I remember seeing that on the rental shelf and going "...wait..are these doods from the same game.."

Kid Icarus from the NES was a well-known game right? Oh! Adventure of Lolo was the game I mentioned before! hahah, ah, shit..hello nostalgia.

[Frana]

Vigilante 8 fans, unite! God I loved the music and specials in those games. (Bass Quake!)

[Seira7]

I could post obscure roms and such, but feel like I should limit my list to actual games I own:

Linkle Liver Story - Saturn. I think it was supposed to be called River Story, but something got lost in the translation. Kind of short but fun and cute.

Sengoku Turb - Dreamcast. I cant decide if this game sucks or if Im obsessed with it. True to the title I s'pose...
Napple Tale - Dreamcast. Really nice soundtrack/graphics.

Community Pom - PS1 - I love this game! And no, its not Community PORN. its POM!
Umihara Kawase Shun ps1- I still have the cool sticker from this import! Im guessing someone else has played it here though...

All of the above were imports, but import friendly as far as figuring out menus/story and such.

As for english games, the only kind-of-obscure ones I have are for the ps2:
Dual Hearts
Technic Beat

[Jife_Jifremok]

And now, some more obscure games I played...

Iron Sword: Wizards and Warriors II (NES);
Wizards and Warriors III: Kuros - Visions to Power (NES). Yes, the piece of crap that Raine mentioned actually had two sequels. Acorn Head had retained his silly fighting style, though in W&WIII he transforms into different classes (knight, thief, wizard). I remember actually completing the third game as a child. I was quite masochistic back then.

Castle of Deceit (NES): I'm pretty sure this game was inliscensed. You're some lady in a nightgown shooting things with magic. If you're out of lives "you have been deceived".

The Adventures of Captain Comic (NES): Unlicensed. Very difficult sidescrolling platformer. The music was ripped off from various classical songs.

Turrican (Genesis): Perhaps you've played Super Turrican on the SuperNES or Mega Turrican on the Megadrive (har har, very funny with the names). But the original(?), unlicensed Turrican actually had a very different feel from what were probably the sequels. No plot (that I knew of), the guy just ran around shooting stuff and dying really fast because his lifebar depleted when in contact with stuff and he wouldn't be knocked back or turn invincible (so there's no getting knocked into pits at least!). While it had linear stage progression, most stages had a lot of room for exploration to find lots of extra lives.

Deadly Towers (NES): I don't think this one's so much obscure, just forgotten! Well here's a reminder. Prince Myer shoots swords from his crotch on a quest to find and destroy several bells atop some towers. Buggy password system, horrible music, and in seemingly random spots are invisible trap portals that lead you to some...maze place...that is insanely hard, if not impossible, to escape.

I don't recall the name, but among the unlicensed games on the NES, there was a top-down view adventure game, where you played a Christian missionary, and you had to convert thugs and thieves by pelting them with fruit. It was truly absurd, and indeed, if I knew the name, I might make an attempt to find it, just for the pure silliness of it.



Spiritual Warfare. Just looking at the HUD and inventory screens makes me think, so much for Thou Shalt Not Steal, eh?

Battletoads and Double Dragon, interesting game. I remember seeing that on the rental shelf and going "...wait..are these doods from the same game.."

Kid Icarus from the NES was a well-known game right? Oh! Adventure of Lolo was the game I mentioned before! hahah, ah, shit..hello nostalgia.

Bayou Billy on the NES..wow. Nothing like trudging through swamps..actually..trudging through swamps and finding a WHIP to hurt people with. Surprisingly fun game at the time, but my attention was easily satiated.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/23/Bayou_Billy_box.jpg

Bee 52 was a game I rented but the damn cart would'nt work, I was so frustrated. I always wondered what it was like.

Cabal was a third person shooter of sorts, you had a reticle from which you'd shoot at things on screen, and you had a little guy that was in the front of the screen(your character). As a soldier you took cover behind various walls and so on, and would shoot at enemies and so on that would pop out. Eventually your cover would get knocked down peice by peice, it was actually the first game that I can recall that really did the whole "use cover", and on the NES it was awesome.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/38/Cabal_%28arcade_game%29.png


Castlequest had you running around dodging enemies and traps in an effort to find keys and steal gold from..a castle!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit! - When I played this game, it eluded me entirely. However, the movie was awesome, so thats ok.

DynoWarz - Destruction of Spondylus(!) - Dear Lord, what could be more fun than giant mechanical dinosaurs?! Nothing when you're young, thats what!

Fester's Quest: The only thing I remember about this game, was you were Fester(From the Adam's Family), and you killed alot of creepy shit. Seriously, look at the box art..thats an eye grabber if there ever was one.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d5/FestQuest.jpg

Goonies and Goonies II - Based on the movie, but from what I recall a 'meh' sort of game(both of them).

Gremlins 2:The New Batch - I did'nt get very far in this game, infact I think I rented it merely out of morbid curiosity than anything because at the time, the Gremlins movies were my one true fear in life.

Karnov was the side-scrolling game I mentioned before. You're a big fat russian dood killing monsters and so on. Was a fun game, but at the time it was so random; though the enemies in it were cool at the time.

Low G Man - This game was actually pretty interesting at the time. Reminded me alot of Ninja Gaiden; except alot of weapons/upgrades and even vehicles if you killed the driver. I can remember the clerk telling my mom "Uh..are you sure you want to rent this? My son tried it and he had trouble with it." My mom looked at me and I'm like "..are you kidding? I picked it out, I'm going to atleast TRY it." And low, it was good; and we later joked at the clerk's kids expense.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0c/Low_G_Man_NES_US_box.jpg

Mechanised Attack - This game was the SHIT. It originated in the arcade if I remember correctly, and the port to the NES was quite fun. Had the screen going on direction and you'd shoot enemies and alot of stuff in the background. Imagine blowing apart helicoptors, APC's and eventually even a friggen battleship; WIN.

Metal Mech was the game I mentioned before, where you're in a city in a two-legged walker. Able to get out and goto sewers, etc. For some reason the walker really reminded me of the mech-unit from Robocop.

Predator: Soon The Hunt Will Begin - Surprisingly at the time, this game was win to me merely because I loved the movie Predator. Though the Predator was weaksauce everytime you fought him. =[

Q-Bert - I'm pretty sure this game was well-known, atleast I'd hope so because this game was awesome on the Atari.

S.C.A.T. - The doods in marketing dropped the ball on this one. Aside from snickering as I rented it, the game has you using a jetpack and killing aliens. It wasn't innovative, or all that great; but for a kid who needed to wittle away a weekend it worked.

Section Z - Game had awesome box art, and it was cool. Nuff said.

Skate or Die! - This was a wonky game, and was decent enough for my brother and I to kill a weekend with.

Stealth ATF - Neat stealth fighter side-scrolling game. Why? Because you were the one who took off and landed the aircraft!

Toobin - I'm ashamed to have played this.
Track and Field - Ditto.
[/spoiler-box]

[zentetsua]

i've played fester's quest, castle quest, and i own Q-bert.

The arcade version Cabal was kinda neat. You used a trackball to move around. If you wanted to roll behind cover, you fucking slapped that trackball like your life depended on it.



One arcade game I played once and never saw again was.. uh, I think it was called Daoh. The cool thing about it was it had SIX buttons. Three guns and three superbombs.

Actually the first W&W was decent. The 2nd one was I didn't like that much. I never played the 3rd one though, but it probably sucks anyway.

[Monochrome]

Sega arcade "fighting game" of sorts called Hippodrome. I don't remember if you even had a choice of characters, but if you did, it was more or less golden axe choices. You fight a medusa with a really long tail and she whips you alot, then you fight a flying lizardy demon... it was cool and only saw it at one arcade as a kid.

Maniac Mansion. God I loved this game, I use to get so scared and tense playing it lol.

Maniac Mansion? It was HUEG on the PC.

Even had a sequel. Day of the Tentacle.


Although I liked Monkey Island better.

[Sinue_v2]

Not to mention probably the single best, and most oft-forgotten Indiana Jones games. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

[Frana]

My friend liked Tron Bon, I prefered Legends 2. (Except that stupid quiz you take to get the saber)

[RavenTW]

Considering this game was on the Turbo-Grafx 16, which is a console I doubt most people have heard of, you prolly don't know Bloody Wolf.

Good time. Never could beat the final boss though.

Another game I'm a big fan of is the Armored Core series. I just love building giant robots.

[Raine_Loire]

I used to love Juggernaut, Koudelka, and Shadow Madness for ps1... oh and Top Shop! That was so fun!

I'm trying to find a snes for my son- I'm gonna get him a bunch of games my brothers used to play together, lol. Joe & Mac, TMNT, Bubsy, and Mario World (which he actually already plays on DS).

I loved the DC and had a ton of games... Anyone remember Omikron?

Oh and I used to have a neo geo pocket color... and my fave game for that was... some kind of arms... Dark Arms?

I can say honestly between me and Laguna, we've played almost everything you guys have played too ^_^ guess the gaming community is a tighter circle than even we think!

Just played through Indiana Jones - Fate of atlantis in the downtime XD

How about The Dig - way too underrated/unknown game! It's fabulous.
