Yup,played it, loved it, got annoyed when the prequel wasn't released in Europe...Saltinecracker said:
I'm curious as to whether anyone else here has played Magical Starsign. (If you haven't, don't, unless you're a borderline suicidal desperately looking for one last thing to push you over the edge...)
Also, did anyone besides me ever even touch the GBC Pokemon TCG? I know that's horrible and sad and pathetic, but seeing as I've never met anyone else who played it, I still wonder.

I was sure I was the only person I knew who had or had played Wild Arms but one of my friends at uni saw it in my games collection and demanded to see the opening sequence. I love that opening sequence. Sergio Leone, very much so.
Devil Dice and the sequel Bombastic, which is much much better.
Musashi: Samurai Legend - no one knows what the hell I'm talking about. I still play it today! I'm waiting on a sequel, GODDAMMIT!
Spectral VS Generation - I LIKED IT. It was cheap and cheerful and was really only worth the eight quid I paid for it but it was eight quid, what do you expect? GTA5? No. Exactly. Definitely worth a quick punt.
Mr Domino (or NO ONE CAN STOP MR DOMINO!) - I loved this when it first came out... now I'm a little perplexed as to why it takes me six or seven goes to get past the first level again.
Granstream Saga - I coulda sat on a typewriter and written a better story but it was a charming little RPG, albeit in a slightly Yaroze kinda way (anyone remember the Yaroze?! Yaroze demos on the OPSM demo discs!!!! My God, that's taking me back...)
Bloody Roar - I don't know ANYONE that's heard of it. The first one absolutely rocked. The later ones not so much.
Also, I played Future Cop LAPD! I found it for £3.99 in Game's Pre-Owned section and I HAD TO HAVE IT. It's another hidden gem that everyone should play. I remember playing the demo level for months cos I loved it that much. I used to time myself on that one level alone and when I got the game about six years later, I totally outdid my time on that level cos I remember where everything was, where the enemies were and how to save all my ammo. How sad does that make me?
That's rhetorical, by the way. SHUSH.

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father. To this day, I still ask my wife in his goofy 'good old boy' voice, "Tell me about yourself".
Raid on Bungling Bay, an old Broderbund NES game. My grandparents gave it to me for Christmas. Years later IGN did a feature wherein they had developers comment on some of their earliest games, and the lead designer didn't even recognize it. It was so obscure, I'm pretty sure it showed up in Strongbad's disk case in one episode.
Obscurity aside, it was also one of the worst games I've ever owned. Uncle-rapingly bad.

Oh how I loved this game. Unfortunately I know nothing about the voice, because I didn`t have the CD version (yes kids, back in ye olden days you had to buy the deluxe Compact Disc version and actually have a drive to play it on to hear the dialogue).Librarian Mike said:
As for me - `Darklands`. An RPG by the legendary-yet-now-defunct Microprose Studios, taking place in medieval Germany, with all the folklore and Christian beliefs. Imagine that instead of casting spells you pray to actual saints for guidance or help. Or instead of fighting some nameless evil you fight Satan, the man himself. It was something different. The game is full of bugs, but it`s worth overlooking them. I think it`s become legally downloadable now, I recommend you try it, if you have the patience.
