Aside from a lot of many other obviously non-rare games (Discworld is obscure, really?), and a few others I didn't feel like quoting, I played all these:
I've played a ton of obscure PC games, but I've forgotten the name (and in many cases almost everything else) of them. This is one I remember quite well because both me and my father played a lot (each on our own of course, it's not multiplayer):
The game is Breach 2. Breach 1 and 3 look completely different from the screenshots, so this is definitely the one I played. I guess you could define them as a proto-XCOM. It also has Wikipedia, Mobygames and Gamespot pages, which probably means it's not nearly obscure enough for this thread (I should go for obscure Spectrum games instead
).

->I had no clue Silkworm is considered rare, but it's not been contested in the thread. I played the Spectrum version to death.
-> I actually liked it, BTW.

Waiting for someone to post an obscure Japan only game.
Played this one. It probably was shareware but still countsRadio Control Racers PC
H-Take 3: Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver for the PC
Holy fuck! One of the defining games of my childhood right there. YOU. LOSE.

then I'm gonna put an O on
Let me take that O and put it in "demo", as in "I've played the demo of that one".
I'm going for the R:
Played it. Picked it up at a yard sale or a thrift store. Came with a little comic book.

Ecco Jr. and The Great Ocean Treasure. I don't know anyone other than myself that owned a Sega Pico.
We had a blast with this. Wonder how this type of gameplay would translate today.

Time to start dropping obscure MMO's or ones not in english that I played. Lets start with this one.

Lots of obscure games in here. It's... it's beautiful.
Here's one from my childhood that I loved but was extremely difficult. Somebody has probably played it, but maybe not?
Metal Marines.
I used to draw crazy detailed defense plans in science class in 4th grade dreaming of the time I'd get that game. It took a year or two since seeing it, but yes I did get to play it eventually. Ironically once you discover that troop transports will explode if hit with enough anti air missiles the game becomes somewhat trivial
(the password system always manages to disappoint me somehow when I revisit it today) I'll make my own attempt post-work... gotta dash for now though >_>

This is a thread of irony, in that it is full of old juniors.
I think my "H" is pretty solid so I claim it. I'm going to go safe but risky for my "O": safe in that I'm going really old but risky that I'm picking an entire console:
RCA Studio II
My brother and I used to play bowling and baseball on it all the time. It didn't even put out sound through the TV as it had a built-in speaker for beeping, so you had to turn the TV down or all you would get is static.
Never met anyone else who had one.

I know what you're thinking, but it's a PC port, NOT the original.

So hey, remember when you got free prizes in cereal? It's kinda like that with this, but with Sega Game Gear eBay orders instead.
Adding some more:
s:
I dunno why, but the site I got this from suggested Bible Black (A infamous hentai game) as a related game.
...yeah.

I really, really would like to know who made these games and what the hell are they coding nowadays lol
I just got mind blew when discovered Don Mattrick was the creator of this beauty:
Damn I loved that game. Really pushed what the school computers could do. Couldn't you make you're own tracks like excitebike?
Anyway, here's my H (fingers crossed).

That looks suspiciously like a precursor to Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

Xardion on the snes. I played this game until the end, had some cool anime inspired stills to finish up. Sort of a platformer with rpg elements.

Oh, and also this.
It felt like a western developer tried to make JRPG and...it turned out good.
If anyone played it I would like to know what you think

Totally played Septerra Core, but never finished it. I wasn't crazy about the characters or world building but the gameplay was my cup of tea. It definitely felt like a western developed jrpg.

A Japan-only Lupin III slot machine simulator. I'll take my H thanks.
Second mention of Chiki Chiki Boys. After the Euro and JPN version, I'll chime in with the N/A one. Really fun game that I only saw once during my collecting days.
It would be too easy to list any number of forgotten or obscure C64 games so I'll submit this:
Pretty sure no one in the US bought or played this!

Did you like it? I always thought it was a great platformer.

Maybe not in the US, but I have it (European version)
There was actually a Kickstarter just last year for a remake/sequel:

Then you may remember
And
Sure do. Didn't play much of Sword of Vermilion (mainly watched a friend's brother play it), but me and my friend had a blast playing Forgotten Worlds.
