I tried it on the Rift a while ago and came uncomfortably close to a re-union with my breakfast a few seconds in. They really should've added a cockpit view. It's an awesome game though and one that was played by many, many people back in the day so not really a good pick for this thread imo.canadamus_prime said:I played Descent years ago. Couldn't play it for very long without getting simulation sickness though.
Holy crap, I was JUST thinking about this game the other day. I went through a period in middle/high school when I wasn't able to buy a lot of games because my parents wanted me to focus on school, so I looked to freeware games. This, Ahriman's Prophecy and Spirit Engine were the three big RPGs I found, though I never finished a single one.SexyGarfield said:Eternal Daughter is good for it's soundtrack story and gameplay and I don't know a soul who has played that.
It's too bad ED runs like poo on modern machines. When I try to play it now the actual game takes up less than 1/5 of the screen and is surrounded by black. Saw a few random forum threads about it when I used Google but no fix.Gatx said:Holy crap, I was JUST thinking about this game the other day.

Yoooooooooo!Gatx said:Gotcha Force
I remember Odama! I actually fucked up my throat from yelling "ADVANCE!" "FALL BACK!" "ADVANCE!" all day for a few weeks when that game came out. Still, a Feudal Japan themed voice controlled pinball strategy game is a rare thing indeed, I don't know how the hell they'd pull it today, but I'd love a sequel, if nothing else then so that horrific man-spider from level 8 can haunt a whole new generation.FPLOON said:Odama: No, not "Obama" because X-Play already made that joke... Yes, it utilized the GameCube mic in terms of overall gameplay... Yes, the game can get a bit luck-based if you either suck at Pinball or suck at giving out voice commands, even though I won't blame you on the latter since you could literally just say anything and that may or may not make your army do "something", at least... Yes, it's better than Virtua Quest in my opinion, but that's not saying much...
I played Descent years ago an, while I loved it, man did I suck at it! A great concept and I wish I'd given it more time.LobsterFeng said:So this is the thread where you post games that are so obscure you feel as though you're the only one that has played them. Obviously no you're not the only one that has played this game because you're never the only one [footnote]If I don't point this out someone will inevitability lecture me on this fact.[/footnote] but we're not being literal. Just post a game you feel no one else has really heard of and hope to be proven wrong or whatever.
Mine is Descent:
It's this fun little game that had the brilliant idea of putting you in a spaceship with the ability to fly around, and then it has you navigate extremely cramped corridors for the whole game. Still I remember having a lot of fun with it because I played it with a joystick. Plus it has some fun weapons.
Not too sure about that one, Dune II is considered the birth of the RTS genre and thought of as one of the finest games of all time. That being said I haven't met many people in person who know of it so you may be onto something.LobsterFeng said:I just thought of another one. The Dune RTS games by Westwood. They were generally known for the Command and Conquer series and rightly so but I quite liked their Dune games. Plus Dune 2000 had live action cutscenes with fucking John Rhys-Davies in it:

Yeah I was excited for X rebirth and still that game is disappointing.Vern5 said:I own X3:TC. It's okay. Just wish the dev hadn't completely dropped the ball with X-Rebirth.Boo8er said:I would have to say X3 Terran Conflict. I think that only me and a few other people on another board have played this game. Here is the trailer:
Heroquest was so-so, but Space Crusade is one of the first games I remember ever playing, and seeded a lifelong love of the Blood Angels, even though half the reason I liked them at the time was because of their colour scheme (the Imperial Fists look pretty natty too).Baffle said:Cadaver. The guy just bounces around like crazy shit.
Heroquest and Space Crusade made pretty good computer games too.
I can't be the only one the played them, but the Dragonlance series of games doesn't get enough love. I think there was a side-scrolling combat-oriented one, but that's not the one I mean.
