This little assh*le called "Louis from the gameboy color game "PowerQuest"

I can't really remember what exactly, but something super tragic happened to him and it made me totally sad.

The "tragic" thing that happens is that he moves away. (Understand that this is a BIG DEAL to kids that age.)


Anyway, my contribution is Tony Jones from a different obscure gameboy color game: Magi-Nation.

This got a revival later, but I'd like to pretend it didn't.
 
Incidentally, did they keep the occasional references to Colin Curly and Quavers in the US version? They'd look ridiculously out of place there.

Don't know, I was just looking for a PUSH-OVER cover.


Anybody remember B.O.B. (Space Funky B.O.B. jp)

aaaaaah natasha. one of my first gaming experiences where how i played directly affected a npc's attitude towards me. play nice with her and she was an angel offering tips between races and steering clear of you during a race - but piss her off and she would be out to get you at every step of the way. even her portrait changed to reflect her feelings towards you. so cool back in the day and one of the reasons (of many) the game was so special.


EA, revive one of your best franchises, please!
 
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:

I still play the Real Bouts and Fatal Fury 3 on my PS2 every week because of those game´s roster. I want Franco Bash in the next KOF! He also had a great music theme as well.

As for other obscure characters, a reason I liked Flower, Sun and Rain so much was because of the rather interesting cast. Here are some of them.

Missing from that pic the most badass character in the game, Mr. Pirate.

The Mass Effect series is like heaven for me with every single character reappearing in some form or another. Even Combustion Manifold Krogan popped up in ME3 (although he ate it about thirty seconds later).

Almost every character reappears, I should say. Mass Effect 3's biggest failure is that my girl Gianna Parasini isn't in it at all.
No Tank Grown Krogan either :\, who I was hoping to see in ME3 as wealthy and famous
 
Alundra was a cool guy. Second disc of this game went missing before I could beat it.

Second disc?

There's no second disc.

Lemme check...

Nope, no second disc.

Besides that dude hardly counts as obscure character, probably one of the most beloved 2D adventures on GAF.
 
I was obsessed with this game for a while. I thought the character dynamics were pretty interesting. It was also hard as balls from hell.

Shinnon is not obscure :P

My choice:

Gummi from Topshop (the frog on the right). A budget PSX party game that is surprisingly fun and addictive. I got my mates from uni hooked on it. These were football watching, beer swilling "men" who would play this to death. Good times! ^-^

Kent Knutson from Normality.

Not too many people talk about him, but I thought he was a cool main character from a game not many people I know played.

Plus, he was voiced by Corey Feldman!
 
The Man wearing a red fez in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis:

What a guy, giving up his fez so you can partake in festivities.
