Blake Stone. A wolfenstein clone that I kinda enjoyed. For years I figured no one had even heard of it, but apparently it gets some love.
The Clue! Basically a burglary sim. You wou would recruit people, get equipment and plan your burglary. Then sit back and watch the plan ececute. It was great.
Is that Nicolas Cage?
Not obscure at all; got plenty of attention though it was overshadowed by Doom.
I'm not talking about Starsiege:Tribes, I'm talking about the original Starsiege with mechs.
Have yet to find anyone who played it.
I played it. But only a couple of times. I bought the set for tribes.

The Tone Rebellion. My Dad got it for me as a kind of peace offering since he hated me gaming.

Cyberia 2.
Mostly a rail shooter with graphics that really wowed me as a youngster. Had no idea what the story was about since I never played the first Cyberia, nor did I really care. Had some pretty awful animation for the human characters though, and equally awful voice acting with lines that my brother and I still quote to this day. Also the on-foot sections were really bad, but the soundtrack had some nice tunes. I do wish it was on GOG.com though, would like to revisit it.

Ha! I was going to post this (and it's sequel.. or maybe this is the sequel?)
I got it as a freebie and every day I used to rush home after school to play this with a good friend of mine. Looking back, the game probably sucked

Some game I used to play a bunch with like a gofer and carrots in a garden.
No idea what it was or how to figure out what it was.
Tried the "games you remember" thread a few times with no response.

Not played any of these, but have to say, find the descriptions of some of these games highly amusing.
Only game I can think of that isn't Wolfenstein, Commander Ken, or anything of like that is obscure to even me is one thing, but I lack its name. Not sure I'll even be able to give it a fair description, but it was a fighting game with robots. If I recall right before battle you would pick and choose your robot parts. It had two player as well because I would battle against my brother. I've never been able to get an answer out of anyone I know, but I'm sure my brother would remember the game, but lack the name as well.

One of my first indie games (I was 12 or 13) and my first 2D JRPG ever. Plays like an SNES Final Fantasy, but with a lot of blood and 90s anime angst. I love it... even though it's terrible. Download it free right here.

I honestly don't remember much about this game, other than that it combined your typical Sim-ish construction and management stuff with isomorphic point-and-click adventure game mechanics. Weird game, but fun for a kid really into trains.
Looks a lot like ZZT, which was awesome, but I can tell that it isn't.
Here's a couple I remember playing in the way back days:
Shamus
Cave Walker

Weirdest Bomberman I've ever played... Probably also my favorite.
The cow and chicken voices were just weird, and it had bugs and an aesthetic that made it seem like a Thai ripoff.

Also the Rugrats Movie Activity Challenge.
It was so cool, it had ripoffs of The Incredible Machine and Parappa the Rapper. I can't believe I found video of this.

Every Disney movie "Activity Center" ever. There's nothing I want more to relieve some of the games of my childhood, but it's impossible, even on the youtube side of things. Apparently, 102 Dalmatians Activity Center isn't a hot topic in the let's play scene.
Those f'ing henchmen, man.
I remember 102 Dalmatians. Haha I hate those harder levels.
Freddi Fish was quite popular with the kids back in the day. Didn't Ron Gilbert produce these games or something like this?

quoting myself because I found it: I. M. MEEN.
Apparently it wasn't Shareware at all, but still...
here's a screenshot
Electronic Formula 1, from Tomy, circa 1978.
Although apparently I'm not the only one who's ever played it, since I've found evidence of it's existence on the Internet.
Actual gameplay footage.

Played it on a school mac one day.Bugdom.
This was quite literally my SHIT in elementary school.
Who needs Oregon Trail? I dropped that after playing it a bit as a class. Bugdom was only installed on the Mac computers in the after-school activity trailer

I can't seem to find it through Google.
I believe it was only a demo, but it was a Mac game that had you play as a contestant in some weird reality TV game show that involved beating up other contestants, or something like that. It had a comedic element to it, and was in 3D. There was also narration by a host.

Me and many of my friends played that because it was a free pack-in with some issues of the German Mickey Mouse Magazine.
And it actually was kind of fun.
Jetpack:
Prehistorik 1 and 2:
Jetpack is pretty well-known. There's even a TAS for it:

I think I got it from a CD that came with a magazine way back in the mid-90's. Was a lot of fun, despite its simplicity. The character graphic used an icon file, so I used Locke from FF3/6 for mine. lol
