I, NINJA really fun GC plateformer

some may know that, but how many know...

PHANTASMAGORIA 2: A puzzle of flesh?

 

[link141]

Stubbs the zombie.

 

[cold killer pov]

metal arms glitch in the system was an awesome game on xbox and now on games on demand

 

[bigolbear]

the only obscure games i play that i can relay think of are the two vampire rpgs.

vampire redemption and vampire bloodlines. Although they were both brilliant games (that dont require you to be a goth wanabe vamp larper) neither sold well.

Id definately recomend either of them to you folks out there if your into rpgs.

Cybercon III, it came out for the Amiga, Atari ST and PC in the early 90s. Outside my group of friends I've only ever met one person who has played or even heard of it.

Not saying it was any good.

 

[NeutralMunchHotel]

LEGO Rock Raiders, obviously.

In a similarly awesome vein, Lego Alpha Team on the PC.

 

[Del-Toro]

Well...

There's War Front: Turning Point,

Blitzkrieg

Ubersoldier

You'll notice that they all have the same publisher. I chose them because they are World War 2 games ironically published by a German company.

Gotcha force was sooo sick

Interestingly probably my favorite game storyline is the almost-no-one-doesn't-stare-at-me-blankly-when-I-mention-it Okage: Shadow King for the PS2(HAS ANYONE HEARD OF ITno, didn't think so...). Its story is brilliant and quirky and exciting and I can say without any noticeable trace of sarcasm that it makes up for the HORRIBLE battle system (everything that's wrong with turnbased battles, including party members that don't realize they're supposed to be exerting actual effort, and more random encounters than a dog's ass has hair follicles) and the ridiculously drawn-out puzzles. I actually played to the end to find out what happened to the characters, which is a miracle considering how ADD I can be...

I actually played like an hour of that on my friend's PS2 once. I remember like, you had to save your sister because he shadow was pink or something like that.

Regnum Online, an indie MMO made in Argentina by a group name NGD Studios. Surprisingly good PvP and nice international community for the most part.

Yeah, it was goofy as hell, but the idea of you playing the hackneyed magical Evil King trying to take over the world and failing miserably is just so great I stole it for a story I'm writing

I'm glad someone else has at least heard of it, though. Pump it up with cheat codes to get through the bad guys and dungeons and it's pretty entertaining.

Stubbs the zombie.

I read a review for that when it came out. Looked like fun

 

[iron fist150]

Persona 4, not many people know about that. Oh, and Dynasty Warriors Gundam

 

[ckam]

ICO, that is all.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

Modern Warfare 2.

I don't know if anybody else made that joke, but I'm still sticking by it.

 

[oktalist]

Hardwar - brilliant spaceflight/trading game.

Space Empires IV - excellent 4X strategy game in space.

Europa Universalis II - fantastic 4X strategy game in historical times.

Culpa Innata - very good futuristic adventure/detective game.

I loved Majestic the game. It had its issues, but the idea and the level of contact was impressive. Unfortunately 9/11 kinda killed the ability to call people at 2 AM and threaten to kill them if they dont deliver a package.

 

[Jolly Madness]

Oddly fun game.
It's a sim where you design the hospital and run it until you reach a certain goal, then level up (and starting from scratch). Each new level earns you new diseases, new specialties and larger hospitals to run.

It's got a very dark sense of humor--if you get the "right" receptionist, she will all but call patients cheap bastards, but in a pleasant way.

It's definitely not a popular game, but despite it's very limited amount of playtime, it still makes me laugh whenever I pop it in.

"Patients are asked not to die in the corridor..."

Theme Hospital was, and still is, my favourite SIM game Fantastic game...

Alas, I don't have a little-known game.
Erm...
Halo! Has anyone heard of that series?

"Patients are advised to be patient"
It's kind of a morbid game, the rat-shooting level is gold though.

For a thread about things that nobody knows, there's only been one or two I haven't heard of. You guys suck at thinking of obscure things.
