Snow Bros. 1&2. The only other person who I know who played this was my younger brother.

Nobody's quoted me for 7 pages. Do I win?California Games 2
I remember renting this from Blockbuster a few times and playing it with my parents. We seemed to enjoy it for some reason.

In the late 80's-early 90's, Costa Rica had the "advantage" of being so small so no platform holder actually distributed consoles or games here. So all we could access were bootlegs for Famicom, and later Genesis and Super Famicom / SNES.
Wai Wai World 2 (1 was good, but 2 was great)
The grandaddy of game crossovers.
Awesome action game, with an incredible soundtrack.
And the best of them all:
Captain Tsubasa 2: Super Striker.
A sports / RPG hybrid, composed exclusively of cinematic screens. Tecmo was god in Famicom.

I'll quote you. Played it and compared to the first one? It wasn't very good.

This bad boy was so amazing. Always playing it with my cousins when we had sleepovers, never see it mentioned on GAF though.

Not exacly sure how obscure GAF might find this one to be, but Outcast was definitely the first to spring in mind. Such a great game and quite ahead of its time.

Played this, but on Emulators in college. I loved the original on NES.
This had an under-rated and strangely understood co-op mode that was really original and totally flew under the radar.

Some pc game about the body where you play on a tiled "board" and move from mini-game to mini-game that involved picking the best foods for your money and working out and other health related things. You got a score based on how well you did and at the end of each screen there was a challenge where you compete against another person in some marathon event (first one was to swim across the nile I think). There was this creepy floating jester head that would show up in the caves and try to pressure you into drugs and stuff. I can't remember the name...
Okay I know I'm not the only one, but hell its rare.
I've played and completed this! Pretty short rpg, but definitely love the quirkiness in this one.
Damn, this thread is such a blast from the past
This game was awesome.... But I sucked at it
This has to be one of the best games I've ever played. One of the few games where I truly felt like a badass eons before Devil May Cry ever came out.
I believe this was on PS1 as well, LOL. I only persisted just because of the minute detail that it had the Noisy Cricket gun from the movie that actually did throw you back:
And I'll always remember the first boss's name: Twinkle Toes.
I remember my neighbor got this when I was 5 years old and geeked out massively over it.
Wow, how could I forget about this game, it really blew me away when I first tried it.
Man, I was so hyped for the movie that I bought this.... but then I realized you could only play as one of the gorgonites I was sad Still persisted with it.
Damn, I remember everyone played this when I was a kid.
As for my contribution:
PSN game that gets pretty brutal later on. But damn are the cutscenes in between missions WACKY!

Shitty Men in Black PC game from 1997. Probably a few here have played it. Aunno.

Loved the game. It may not have been very good, but the idea of your units being giant lego blocks was just really neat.
A 3rd person shooter. Probably the first shooter I've ever played?

This is actually one of the most awesome multiplayer RTS games I've had the pleasure of playing, resting solely on the supply facet.

This game was fucking AWESOME.
Played this game. Was so dissapointed the was no hunting. Fishing was done terribly. Ok game tho. Yukon trail was even worse!

Agreed, caught my interest also back in the day - maybe time to give it a spin again.
EatChildren
Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Takeru: Letter of the Law. Awful point and click adventure game. My aunty bought it for me shortly after we got a computer. Typical bargain bin clueless purchase.
It was like Battlezone. Kinda. I actually got a lot of fun out of this, but was always crabby I couldn't enable the super sweet graphics options because I didn't own a voodoo card.
It was like Battlefield before Battlefield. Kinda. I spent most of the game working out how to play the damn thing, and then realising (if my memory serves correctly) that it was mutliplayer focused with no real single player to speak of.
Oh god.

I played that shitty OG Xbox Aquaman game.
One of my favourites when I was a kid, so good.

That was a pretty damn cool game. I remember picking it up from, of all places, Crazy Clarks in Queensland. That and Liberation Day, the sequel to Fallen Haven.
Actually, when they had an odd run of old Activision games as well, I snagged Spycraft: The Great Game as well. Bizarre. Ten bucks a pop, too, for big boxed copies.
Seventh Cross: Evolution for Dreamcast. I actually loved this game on the premise alone. Nobody else seems to have played it, or at least no one remembers it.
You're not alone! One of my favorite Dreamcast games and probably my favorite evolution-themed game. I remember spending hours plugging away at the color grid, randomly trying to get the right body parts to proceed to next area.
The only one I can think of that hasn't been mentioned yet is Megafortress:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megafortress
One of the first in depth flight sims I played.
Really, still no one? I feel so alone.

playing this game right now. I really like it and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite DC games.
Even if someone here has played it I can guarantee they don't know the systems, match-ups, and strategies as well as I do. I've spent an ungodly amount of time with it. Surprisingly deep for a licensed anime title and leagues ahead of the other Eyeshield games.

Seems obvious now. I bet none of you have 100%ed My Baby: First Steps.
Another was Pandamonium for Sega Saturn and PS1
I played that. Well, I never finished it. I got distracted by whichever new Tomb Raider came out at the time.
Spooky Castle. I remember getting in on one of those 50 games in 1 discs, and it being the only one that had any kind of substance. COOL CAT BAD.
I remember owning both of these, and never playing them. I remember trying to play Lords of Magic and I couldn't figure it out. It came with some kind of cool comic book though!

i get together with one of my friends every so often and we play as many obscure games as we can, so i have played a lot of these, though many are unfinished. we figure we can learn something about games that there isnt a lot of information on.
i remember this game. if i remember correctly the super jump legs were basically indispensable, but it was fun to play around with different arms.
i like the neverhood. decent puzzles and great visuals.

FX Fighter
A PC fighting game in the vein of Virtua Fighter, but nowhere near as good. It ran surprisingly well on my crappy old PC, though! Even if it probably wasn't that great, I remember having a lot of fun with it, and even booting it up just to watch the intro cinematic. God, it's so cheesy.
It was supposed to come out on the PSOne as well, but it was mysteriously cancelled at the last second.
Not exacly sure how obscure GAF might find this one to be, but Outcast was definitely the first to spring in mind. Such a great game and quite ahead of its time.
Any time this comes up, you've always got a bunch of people asking for a sequel or remake, and for good reason, that was a good game.

Empire, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Classic_(video_game).
Spent plenty of hours on that one on my Amiga.
I believe Dark Cloud is mentioned plenty of time whenever HD collections are discussed or RPGs on the PS3

But it came out on the PC, Sequel did too.
The first virtual pinball game I ever played. Not bad from what I remember, perhaps I should give it a try again.

Loved this game when I was a kid. I think I never got to the end, the last level was hell for me at the time. I need to turn my Mega Drive back on to see if I can get finish it now.
Played it--well, the NA version. I remember it being pretty great but hard as shit. I never knew it was based on a movie until years later.

The twist in my post? I bought all those games through a book order thing from school.
The Realm
My first MMO. I believe the game is still running, but I first played it around 1995.
