Such an awful, awful game. I don't even remember why I got it, I think it was a birthday gift from like a grandparent who knew I had a Nintendo 64.
Good lord....Why play this when you can kickstart a sequel

(Perhaps not)
failing that, one of the first games on the PS2: Ring of Red
An SRPG based on Mechs
Ubik
Urban Reign
BEST THIRD PERSON SHOOTER EVER/
long live Dreamcast
really interested to see who played these.
I will always be Customer number 1. No one else played this game but me.
And if someone did(God bless you) I know damn well they had too much sense to actually finish it. Unlike me.
To this games credit, it was one of the originators of QTE. RE4 and GoW are just posers.
Heart of Darkness - PC/PS1 (as far as i know)
I have never met anyone who has heard of it, let alone played it. It was really fucking hard for me! I never beat it. The intro was really cool. I hope someone on GAF has played it, because then I won't feel so alone.
here's the intro
Bzzt! Not quite:

Our coder worked on the game so I nabbed a copy. ;D
Monsters (Acorn Electron)
One of my earliest gaming memories. iirc, this actually came with the computer, but when I ask friends who had the Acorn if they remember it, they look at me like I have 2 heads.
Citadel (Acorn Electron)
Vaguely remember this. Remember having to find keys to unlock doors, that's about it. Again, another one other people don't seem to remember.
Twin Kingdom Valley (Acorn Electron)
My first text adventure game (go North, look at that, pick up this etc), but this one had graphics to show you the places you were at. I remember it taking ages to load and if you went the wrong way, made a wrong choice and got "Game Over" you had to reload the entire thing again.

There was also one on the MSX that I can find no screen shots of. It was a scrolling shooter called Valkyre (I think). It doesn't seem to exist anywhere, but I swear it was on there. I vividly remember it containing the first digitised speech I had ever heard - As you started the game an 8 bit tune played, then a voice said "Welcome to Valkyre". It wasn't great quality obviously, but you could certainly make it out.
Cool, what do you guys do now?
Not me but my friend played this game and was obsessed with it; I have never heard anyone else mention it before:

I have played all these my Acorn Electron brother!
Say you've played it. I bet none of you have
Yeah, that was pretty fun.People probably have played this but not many.
Lovvveeddd it on the snes.
From what I remember, this one was on many shareware collections back then.
SkyRoads
But I don't really know which older games sold well and which didn't.
If anyone's played these two obscure point & click adventures, I'll be pretty surprised;

I'd imagine this was more popular than the other 2 but playing Trials recently reminded me of it so I added it anyway.
Is there here other Sakura Taisen fans crazy enough to have played everything related to the series? Columns games, ST Online games, Mysterious Paris and such obscure tites ?

DiI will have to go with this garbage game :

Lost Eden, while on the easy side, was one of the most memorable adventure games I played as a young scamp. Stéphane Picq, who also did the Dune adventure game OST (Spice Opera under one half of the Exxos name), worked magic and I still have the intro music burned into my brain.
"I am Eloi..."
The Red Star, a co-op-RPG-beat-em-up-bullet-hell.
A Gaffer's wet dream.
Hardly anyone heard of it.
I loved Shadow of Destiny for the PS2. It was geared more towards the Japanese audience, and I can't imagine many mainstream only gamers would touch it.
Shadowflare!
