Sadly these two guys will go unknown forever because you failed to mention their names or what game they were from.

Seriously, I know it's a habit of GAF to just post pictures with no identifying text but in a thread about obscurity it seems counter-productive no?

Pepper and her dog from Pepper's Adventures in Time. Which was originally meant to be a series, I believe.

Ricardo Gomez from Shadow Hearts: New World.

A mariachi bard? Fuck yes.

Thank you, Japan, for your whimsical take on the Americas.

I just played through this. Ricardo was pretty good with his op buffs to other party members.

The shopkeeper that kills you for stealing in Links Awakening.

The shopkeeper that kills you for stealing in Links Awakening.

lol. I also liked how the game branded you a thief for the remainder of the game too.

 

[Crazetex]

There's a guard in Dragon Age II that paces around the Viscount's HQ; he looks almost exactly like my Warden from DA:O. I take a screenshot every time I visit Aveline.

 

[Kazenone]

Matoya from Final Fantasy is so cool. She has the best theme music /and/ a glass eye. There's some neat fanart of her on Google, too.

Wish she was in more games.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Ah Pepper. Many fun hours were spent in your company when I was a wee lad.

 

[Jamie OD]

Thought of another one.

Marko's Magic Football.

You can fill this topic with dozens and dozens of the side-scrolling platformers from the 1990s. So many mascots.

 

[Host Samurai]

LOL Sonic Blastman is the first thing that came to mind when I read the thread title.

 

[BGBW]

UH OH! Someone set off the "I drew the Union Flag wrong" alarm!

Also

The Pie Throwing Devil from Romeo from Klik n Play

It was my wife's favorite game as a child. I only wish I could find a way for it to run in Windows 7. She would love to replay it.

FFX - Maechen

[Scirrocco]

Impenetrable Body armor.
Flamethrower.
Cheesy French Accent.

There is no one else like Anton Girdeux. He dies in Syphon filter 1, yet still manages to make cameos in 2 & 3. I still use Girdeux as a character name in some games.

Mark from Monster Party. He can also turn into a dragon if he takes a pill. Too bad we have never seen him again.

 

[Augemitbutter]

many of the original Fatal Fury 3 characters were neglected since their first appearance and RB. game was so fresh at the time, i have fond memories of it:

franco bash, bob wilson, jacki...i mean hon-fu, sokaku.

It's supported in ScummVM.

That's not a way to dress for going in this journey girl !

All of the freaking block faces from Mischief Maker:

These things haunted me for days on end.


And the weird brown version of Waka in kingdom hearts agrabah:

Damn I loved that game. I think there was a SNES version with a black-haired kid, or was it a different game?

 

[PK Gaming]

Remember him?

This entire GAME.

edit:

 

[BGBW]

I win.

Pretty sure everyone remembers the four main characters of Earthbound if they have played it.

EDIT: Oh you stealth edited.

 

[EvilMario]

I'd be surprised if someone could name him.

I remember the cast of Diddy Kong Racing pretty well too, where most people have probably forgotten them.

On a related note, remember this game from the 80s about a PLUMBER traveling to a magical kingdom to save a kidnapped princess? It's pretty obscure.


*edit*

I played the HELL out of some Halloween Harry! Also Hocus Pocus.

 

[jett]

Halloween Harry

I had this game! Well, the shareware version.

 

[Orayn]

Wil was generic as hell and overshadowed by other characters, but I still liked him. Also Rath.

 

[mclem]

Spanky.

Edit: Missed this bit:

Drumstick and T.T.

 

[Lavalamp1138]

You think you're hot shit, Kireek? Well you're not. That's the giant scythe talkin'. And now I'm going to spend the entire game trying to take it from you.

 

[neeksleep]

Wasn't that the same mission with the random rappy party if you went back to Forest 1?

Fire Eyes

If you don't know why they call her Fire Eyes, you betta ask somebody!

Willie Trombone from The Neverhood. What a kooky dude with an unforgettable voice.

Willie's Story

 

[DoDonGouki]

Yes, was a different Game. "Soccer Kid" - US version is known as
"The Adventures OF Kid Kleets"

Also

 

[mclem]

Incidentally, did they keep the occasional references to Colin Curly and Quavers in the US version? They'd look ridiculously out of place there.

 

[secretanchitman]

was coming in here to post hocus pocus! what a fantastic game!

That crazy old white guy in Final Fantasy 7 that kinda looks like the doctor in BTTF.

Ebisumaru! And Plasma Man from the same series.
