KKND/KKND Xtreme
im sure you guys have played it, but i assume VERY FEW have, or have even heard of it. played the hell out of the demo as a kid, and then when i saw it in stores, i accidentally grabbed the Xtreme edition, which required a Pentium. (all we had was an intel, and i cried) i still think it was a pretty cool, albeit cheesy, RTS game(s).
Warheads
again, played the hell out of the demo. never actually bought it though. i think it was one of those buy-it-online-only games when the internet was gaining momentum. i had no idea what that was at the time. it's basically like pocket tanks, but with planets and gravity. you had to deal with the planets pulling not only your ship, but your shots too.

I own this game. My aunt is the biggest michael jordan fan on the planet, and she bought this for me and my brother.Why would you do that? said:
It's HARD. I've never gotten past the second level. It's also a pretty long game for a platformer.

Same with Metal Storm.
Metal Storm and Crystalis were my favorite NES games.

Please tell me that some of you have had the opportunity to play it.
The music (composed by Tommy Tallarico) and atmosphere in this game is simply amazing. I loved nearly aspect: fighting men/sea creatures/sea monsters, netting dolphins and lobster traps for cash, scouting ahead with the ROV, traveling through Atlantis, detonating nukes undersea, and riding on the back of a Manta Ray.
Best of all, there is a hidden bonus level in which you play as a shark!
Beautiful music!
[Intro Cinematic + Gameplay]
Treasures of The Deep was one of my most beloved PS1 games. I oved playing it just because it was so different and in a way a definite treasure.
I loved the music in the trailer...demo intro part...

G-NOME: released in 1996, basically a MechWarrior knock-off.
Interesting twist was that you can eject from your mech and run around on-foot. As an infantry you have a gas weapon that ejects the pilots of mechs, however enemy infantry also had this gun. Game was hard as hell.

Exile for the Mac (think there were PC versions of it and the sequel too).
Realmz - very similar gameplay style, but a lot harder.
Beyond Dark Castle. I know the first game got a lot more play (it was released a good 8 or 9 times on different platforms) but I still think the sequel was a far better game. Unfortunately, I don't think it runs on any Mac OS more modern than System 7.1, which means my dying Mac Classic will someday mark the end of me being able to play that game.

I played this, and to the same effect. It was a shitty game though.Trin3785 said:What about POD for the PC and later the Dreamcast.
I remember a demo for this game was packaged with our new family computer and I was stunned by the graphics of this game! I remember the new one came out on Dreamcast but i never had a chance to play that game.
One of my favorite RTS of all the time. The only thing is, I played it on PS1...and controller didn't hinder my enjoyment of the game, not to mention split screen.Commanche Raisin Toast said:

It's a 3rd person underwater adventure game. You dive at different locations, look for treasure, buy new gear (oxygen tanks, harpoon guns,etc.), and different creatures try to get in your way (giant crabs, sharks, hammerhead shark,etc.). The game was challenging, but very exploration heavy.
Archurro said:Lords of the Realm 2
This was one game my brother and I would always play together. The third one was utter crap, and I never played the first one, but this game was a really fun turn-based strategy game.
Hey, I did play this! I used to play it with my brother too, not always, tho. I still have the full game and its expansion. Really great game. I'll revisit it soon.

Kwirk!
It was a puzzle game where you play as a red tomato with a mohawk and cool shades and pushed blocks around in a maze trying to get from one end of the level to the other. I remember getting stuck plenty of times as a kid. I wonder how i would do now.
Kwirk is probably my favorite Gameboy game of all time. Bravo, sir.
This is a good game (awesome sound effects), and I used to play it on my brother's really old Mac (system 6/7?). I'm pretty sure it will run in an emulator, though I don't know if it's illegal to emulate the OS. Dark Castle and the Prince of Persia version (similar to the SNES one?) on the Mac were also good.DJ_Lae said:Beyond Dark Castle.

Also I just searched and didn't see Nethack mentioned in 6 pages so far. It's not really obscure, but if someone mentioned it they must have potsed a screenshot instead of the name. I ascended once, on a slightly older grayscale handheld port of the game, as an archeologist I believe (surprisingly, since I usually tried elven wizard). Fond memories. Many of the details of that game will probably stick with me forever.
*edit* Here, I'll throw in a couple of Linux games.
XBlast, frantic Bomberman clone:
XEvil, very politically incorrect game, but I liked the gameplay in the older versions:
More recent XEvil:

All Tony Hawk Ride 2 has to do is take this game's control scheme, map it to the board as best they can, and then ape the gameplay (and probably art style).
They probably won't, and its a goddamn shame.
Anyways,
I really hope I'm the only one whose suffered by playing these two games.

Shatterhand for the NES
Bad ass game that combines post apocalyptic cyborg hell future with megaman stylings, bad ass soundtrack and apparently Andrew Dice Clay
Tempo for the Sega 32x
Fun platformer with fun music but NOT during the intro. Dear god he is" funky as he wants to be" and "in the house" in the intro song. Sweet beautiful chiptune stages make up for this though.
and the king of them all...The HORDE!
This is Kirk Cameron's videogame for the Sega Saturn. Upon start-up it asks if you wish to erase all other save games on your saturn just to free up room for more saves of The Horde and it had your cursor already on "YES" so any button mashers just fucked themselves. You have a ton of cutscenes , a sword named "Grim Thwacker" and one of the cheesiest ending cut scenes in gaming history.
...
This game was fucking terrible.
And here are the cutscenes

There is a game that I used to play back in the early 90s....
this thread made me think about it. I am trying to figure out what it was called.
I have no idea who made it.
All I can remember is that it had something to do with gangs or gang wars and it was set in the future and you had to recruit your crews. It was futuristic and a strategy game. It was cyberpunk like the stuff you would see in Shadowrun or Syndicate. It did not have allot of animation it was more like a card game or Yu gi Oh/Magic type game where the crew members you recruited were just portraits on a card or in a box and you squared off against someone each turn as you took over their territory.
I think it was petty colorful.
Does anyone know what the heck I am talking about? Its an old obscure game....

Don't think it's that obscure, but its one of those games that only one person you know has played. Even if it had its flaws, I loved how ambitious the game was, since there were several endings depending on what you did during the game.

Pour beer into the mug but don't spill any! Chase after people who don't pay for their meal! There was a demo of this on some random Ps1 demo disc but it never came over to the states officially. GREAT Game I recommend it to all.
Oh Shit! I played hours of that on the demo disc. So fucking good! Dual controls were great. I loved to run after burglars!

I remember buying this game at a drugstore.
It was a card battle game, and I hated it. Never heard about it since I gave it away.

An awesome, super low-budget Japanese PSX puzzle game about a hamster driving a forklift. He uses the forklift to move crates around and create pictures, you see.
An awesome, super low-budget Japanese Dreamcast puzzle game about a king and his pet golem.

I found this gem just messing with some old backups on my DC and gotta say I was pleasently surprised.
