...Such a rad game

Shit son, I still play this on ggpo.

I think I can safely say that not many people here have played the 1996 release of Fable, the one and only game by the little-known Simbiosis Interactive:

I haven't played it since I was a kid, but it's a 2D point-and-click adventure game with lovely, storybookesque visuals. I'd snap up the game in heartbeat if it were on GOG.

I doubt anyone else here has played Hocus Pocus and it's a weird little game, there is also this other old platformer PC game I remember playing. But the only thing I remember is there is an eagle and it lies to you. I was really young. My dad might remember but I certainly do not.

I played the first few levels of Hocus Pocus through shareware, back when I was kid with a crap PC and no money. I remember it being decent enough.

The game I've played that no-one else has was probably from the British Commodore 64. I had tons of little games, but the one that sticks in my memory is Tales of the Arabian Nights for its little cut scenes with hilarious C64 era computer voice. cut to 25 secs in the video for a taster.
 

This is one of my all time favorite games, and I bought it with my first paycheck from my first job. I still have the discs, and they survived an apartment fire. I would kill to have it on PSN so I could play it on my Vita.

Picked up Spyro the Dragon, Parasite Eve, and Heart of Darkness on the same day. Was in the middle of summer, too... not even a 4th quarter, I think.

I'm not sure about this one, but I'm gonna say Arcana for the SNES:

I was interested in this game when it came out, but didn't get until later in the SNES generation, and loved the game. Kinda disappointed it never came to VC, but concidering it wasn't that popular, I can understand.
 
I have a couple from the golden Atari ST era that probably not many here has heard about:

Navy Seals, an excellent action platformer:

Hunter, probably the first 3d game with different vehicles and an open world to explore:

Police Quest II, an awesome point-and-click (or really type and click) game.

Okay, some of you have probably heard of Police Quest though, but these are the gems i remember from my childhood. Yeah i'm old.

Good stuff man, I actually never finished it I got very far in the tournaments later on but just never seem to finish, I am also fairly sure my cart is somewhere at home as well.

At least you can't forget the last stage code. I remember thinking that I could crack it since it was only 4 characters. I was shocked when I got it in 10 seconds with BAAA...got my butt kicked and started playing from the beginning to actually learn the game well enough to finish.

This game looks good. The graphics don't look bad and I like the concept of horror film fighters. How did it play?

I'm also interested in impressions. Such a silly idea, but I would have totally eaten this up in the early 90s. Hell, I might just download it from the site and try it out when my brother-in law comes to visit.

One of the first non-RPGs I remember playing that had a leveling up system. Pretty bad game overall, but lots of fun when you're nine.

I played that one way after its release...what a let down. Even though I read my game magazines from cover to cover, I still wanted that game based on nothing, but the robot design on the cover.
I remember spending quite a while drawing that one afternoon. Hadn't seen anything like it...in-game isn't nearly as impressive.


WTF did I just watch?!

"Want some peanut butter to go with that Jam?!"

I've got a 32X, but I don't know if I'm going to do that to myself...
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Wu Kung for PC

1on1--the greatest, hypest Fighting game Basketball game hybrid. The game apparently had a reprint and a PlayStation Classics release, so someone out there has played it, but you never hear anything about it on the English side of the Internet.

Then there's THE Basket 1on1 Plus--a PlayStation port of the arcade port, 1on1 Government, which added a few things including 2on2 matches.

I played Desperados, came free in a cereal box :D

Or Cobra Triangle?
Played the hell out of these, so damn hard. Still have them on my NES.

I had a Sharp MZ-731 and some simple games with it that I think not many here have played... I can't even find decent screenshots of them :D I learned my first programming with it, and did some simple S-BASIC text adventures. And did some music, too!

I had cassettes such as these, but I'm not sure if the games looked like the screens of these suggest, could be just my memory failing.

Hard mode: has to be a game that was actually released outside of Japan.
Haha, yeah, was about to say something like that myself. Posting Japanese-language text-heavy stuff on an English-language forum seems like cheating/easy-mode.
Otherwise, I've got a whole bookshelf full of PC games with silver sparkly ⑱ stickers on them, lol.
 
I bet none of you has heard about Moonstone? A strategy/real time fighting/rpg game from the nineties for the Amiga. It was really graphic for it's time and you could decapitate your enemies and so on.

I've played Yu Yu Hakusho Tactics for GBA, fun game.

Chip%27s_Challenge.png


There was also a game on DOS or early blue/gray monitor screen Windows where you played a guy with a ball shaped head and he could fall on spikes and etc. It's very old and the character had no detail to him. And I believe it took place in space. If anyone knows, for the love of God please say something.

I used to play these games on my dad's old laptop when they originally came out. And I also played them on PC's at hotels with Computer rooms.

Who could forgot about Chip's Challenge? I still remember all those weird sound effects, especially when you die the game says "BUMMER!".

Last time there was a thread like this I answered with:

Swimming was awkward, so I never could get into it. But I couldn't say no to a game where you play a mer
man.

Also this, maybe:

I don't remember much about it other than I beat it in less than three hours.

Yep played it. I played and loved pretty much all Apogee software of that time. Biomenace anyone?

My bros and I played a lot of games made in this that I'm sure no one else has played,

Hah, I did use that software though, on Apple IIe.

Only one I can possible think of is Begin, a starship combat simulator. Though I wouldn't be surprised if a few other people played it, at least the older DOS versions.

1.65 version:

This version I played. I was on an amber monochrome monitor at the time so this is the first time I've seen the colors.

Cosmic Ark: I spent tons of time on this as a kid
Played this some. We had a pretty decent-sized Atari VCS/2600 collection when I was growing up.

I played the first Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle on NES; actually though it was pretty fun.

Probably Xexyz on the NES and Skyblazer or Space Megaforce on the SNES are my two largely unheard of oddballs.

I liked Skyblazer and Space Megaforce a lot. Xexyz can eat a dick with it's miserable magnetic jumping physics bullshit.

"Space...MEGA FORCE!!! ....presented by Toho"
Didn't actually play it much (think we just rented it) but I'll always remember that voice at the beginning, with the way it dramatically says the title then kind of meekly "presented by Toho."

How about this game:

Last_Rebellion_Boxart.jpg


Never heard of anyone playing it. Good riddance too, because it was crappy.

Or maybe:

Summoner_2_Coverart.png


That was amazing though - up untill a point.

I don't know if these are obscure titles, but during my PS1 days I only played Spyro and Final Fantasy with my sisters - so no obscure titles from back then. Ah, to be a kid and experience those games for the first time again. :p

Played it a little. Seemed to go on forever. Does it actually have an ending?

I liked it. I'm a sucker for time-travel stuff.

I remember this as Mystaria but I think it wound up getting it's name changed?
I remember the English version having some terrible translation issues ("You found Herbert!" = "You found a halberd")

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Video here.
My family played the hell out of the Atari 800 version of this when I was kid.
My father drew a map of the whole game on paper, and my two brothers and I played it together a million times with all sorts of different goals each time.

An Adventure Point & Click Game for the PC titled 'Stay Tooned'. I don't think it is very well known, but is one of my favorite games of all time. It felt different every time you played it, so it wasn't like any other adventure game, it was hilarious, interesting, had great puzzles, and minigames.

I played the shit out of Codename Iceman. Truly one of the best adventure games ever, only to be matched by Monkey Island and perhaps Indy Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

Promote this man (or woman as the case maybe) to full membership. Your exquisite taste is shown not only by your approval in Codename: Iceman and Monkey Island but also the lesser known Fate Of Atlantis. Well done.

I didn't play it but I'm the credits of the English version for some translation work. :p

Lol, I did translation for this too!

Played this on TG16, Windows, and Android.
Never finished the whole thing on any of them...

ACTION MAX!
Does that work like Captain Power?
 
I played and finished that! i believe that bad guy was tiny and you had to use the art to make a clone that would stand above you to hit him in the head! you really had to know how to use all the arts to beat that one.

I got that for christmas along with ghostbusters 2

and fester's quest.
Festers.Quest_.most_.wanted.screenshot.2.png

any one play those?
I've played Fester's Quest but not Ghostbusters 2. Sadly, I never was able to beat Tiny; I consider that game way harder than Battletoads.

Also Midnight Rescue!

Oh snap! I was just thinking about posting that, but I didn't remember its title.

Some more:

Operation Neptune

There's also this one airplane game on NES, whose title I can't remember. I remember though that, between levels, you had to do a corkscrew maneuver with perfect timing to enter a spinning base, and it was ridiculously hard.
