The most obscure game you own.

[Gigano]

Undoubtedly Steins;Gate [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.315473-Game-review-Steins-Gate]. One of the bigger fish in its extremely small and out-of-sight pond.

Or possibly a boxed copy of Might & Magic: World of Xeen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Might_and_Magic_V:_Darkside_of_Xeen#World_of_Xeen], although its less obscure and more just very old.

 

[Klopy]

Brave Fencer Musashi.

Fun game... one of the best RPGs ever. I'll always have a softspot for it.

 

[NeoShinGundam]

"Rumble Roses" for PS2. I also have a copy of "Zone of the Enders" with the "Metal Gear Solid 2 Demo Disc." I got it signed by Hideo Kojima when MGS4 came out.

Actually, he made a name for himself on Fully Ramblomatic - I followed him to the Escapist from his own site, not the other way around (FR also inspired me to write, something I really need to start doing again).

But yes, The 5DAS series in particular is just awesome. I'd love to see a game about the New Prince, but I can't see any way to make a good one.

 

[Atheist.]

Pilot Wings 64, Shadowrun for the Genesis, Gyruss (NES) or Sword Master (NES).

Oh yeah, my most obscure title? Probably Hybrid, an FPS for the PS1 I'd never heard of. 3 characters, a man, a woman and an alien. Not bad, but nothing to write home about.

Most obscure for Mac - Wolves in the Woods. I'd mention Transylvania but anyone who had a Mac before the '90s knows that one.

For PC? Probably some of the other titles by the guy who made Iji.
Or maybe Haunted Village, by the people who did La Mulana.

The Suffering. It's a surprisingly good horror/shooter. And I've never met one person who's heard of it.

What an incredibly underrated game. I LOVED The Suffering.

The most obscure game I own? Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster.
Imagine an extremely gory version of Myst, with Tim Curry doing a bunch of unbelievably funny live action acting throughout.

The game starts off with Tim Curry proposing a toast in celebration of reanimating you, plunging a syringe into his neck, drawing out the line "I.. Have made... A MAN" as long as he can, and giggling and moaning as he injects himself with sedative. It is pure GOLD, and I've yet to meet another soul who's played it.

 

[teqrevisited]

Super Hydlide on the Sega Megadrive. An unforgiving RPG with a day/night cycle and weight system. If you overload yourself, you move about as fast as a geriatric snail, if you don't eat you lose combat effectiveness and eventually die and if you don't sleep you do the same.

Still haven't managed to finish it. I got right to the end once, about 3 years ago (Bear in mind I've had the damn game for 18 years) and my save file got corrupted.

 

[tharglet]

Don't think I own anything particularly obscure. Only things that stand out to me are Gunman Chronicles, which was a HL mod as a full game, and Assault Rigs on the PC.
Assault Rigs came free with the first PC my parents bought - loved that game lol, but didn't complete it until I was older.

 

[II2]

Hahaha, oh the times I had with this game / game builder, ZZT...

Funny thing, Tim Sweeney, then the head of EPIC, made this.

 

[subjectseven]

Nectaris for the PlayStation 1. It's such a weird and underwhelming game. I don't even remember how I got it.

 

[Soviet Steve]

I have a game called Iron Aces 2 - It's a flight sim for the PS2. I paid $10 for it. Price on the box was $70

I felt massively ripped off.

 

[Reaper69lol]

Shadow Master, Akuji the Heartless. Both for PS1. I had a whole lot more, but sadly I gave them away to friend (what possessed me to do that I shall never know)

 

[AshuraSpeaks]

For PC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_China
Heart of China! Jake "Lucky" Masters must save a wealthy millionaire's daughter, and the longer it takes, the less he gets paid - which sounds reasonable except it's a point and click Adventure Game on huge floppy disks, so the chances of you getting paid handsomely are nil. Not completely bad, but some of the puzzles are retarded, and the "ninja" Jake recruits is...

I don't know what to say.

Second rarest is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic_%28video_game%29

MAJESTIC - proof that just because it sounds like a cool idea doesn't change the fact that half of the "game" is other people. And a webserver that doesn't exist. And files that aren't stored. And anything making it worth the $2 USD I paid in my "Middle schooler with not much money at all" coins.

 

[shroomie]

Nothing too obscure really but either Psychonauts or Shadow of the Collossus for me.

 

[putowtin]

I still own my copy of Rock Star Ate My Hamster for the C64

Shame the C64 gave up the ghost years ago!

 

[hazabaza1]

Way of the Samurai? Maybe?
Uuuuuh, how about Evergrace? It's shit, but nobody seems to know it. Or Resonance of Fate.
I have no idea what "obscure" really is.
