What's the most obscure game you've played?

[AvsJoe]

What game(s) do you own or have that no one you know has ever played?

As of right now I only own one game and it was pretty popular in its day. But I used to own a game called Culdecept Saga that I've never heard any other person mention. And Colosseum: Road to Freedom wasn't very popular either.

EDIT: Looking through the thread inspired me to think hard of games I used to own. Has anyone ever played:

Tail of the Sun (N64)
Crush, Kill, Destroy (PC)
Foo Castle (PC)
Intelligence Qube (N64)

TRACON II... Air Traffic Control simulator [http://www.mobygames.com/game/tracon-ii-for-windows].

This thing has a look that is about as boring as it sounds but hot damn, it was fun!

Particulary interresting is that you can actually lose, bigtime. In today's world where ultraforgiving games like World of Warcaft and various shooters that has insta-save/load cuddle you along, letting you play like a friggin' moron and never get punished for it, it is fun to remember that in TRACON, you either did it right or you got shafted for it. Cause a mid-air near-miss(*) and you get the joy-joyous message that you are officially an arse, that you have been fired for being an arse and that you should go see a psychiatrist, because you're an arse.

What it in effect means is that all your high-scores were just wiped out. And trust me, that hurt.

/S

[Who Dares Wins]

Every game, my friends only play Counter Strike.

 

[Blood Masque]

The Great Circus Mystery starring Mickey and Minnie Mouse

Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow

Super Mario Land 2: 5 Golden Coins (The game in which Mario was a little astronaut sometimes and that's always fun, right?)

Those are probably only obscure because they're almost as old as I am. But whatever. I loved them.

[Daedalus1942]

How many of you people remember Comix Zone for the sega mega drive? Now that game was ca-razzzzy.
Also... Zone Of the Enders: Fist of Mars (On GBA). Quite a difficult game that was turned based and yet not... Too hard to describe. Look it up, if you're curious.

Etherlords
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etherlords

Holy Shit, I *just* remembered that game for the first time in years and my initial thought was 'wasn't that the card-style game with the amazing soundtrack?' so I looked it up and I'll be damned, it does indeed have a fantastic soundtrack!

Anyway, Etherlords aside, most obscure games I own right now, hmm...

Earthsiege 2 & Nexus: The Jupiter Incident.

Earthsiege amazingly enough was the predecessor to a mech game called Starsiege which itself eventually got a spinoff named none other than the famous 'Tribes'. Meanwhile Nexus is a semi-indie game made a few years back that plays sorta like a singleplayer EVE, not bad at all.

I've been something of a game soundtrack binge lately (sweet sweet American Mcgee's Alice, I'll have to look that one up. Did you ever playthrough Etherlords 2? It removed some of the grindier aspects of the first one, while keeping the card combat fully intact. We also had a blast with the LAN multiplayer on that

 

[GeekFury]

Conan: The Dark Axe for the Gamecube.

 

[sogortheogre]

does the Quest for Glory series count?

Quest for Glory [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_for_Glory]

 

[Marsell]

oh, also disgaea 2

 

[oppp7]

Dark Planet. I need to play that thing again.

 

[Ricotez]

I haven't really played many obscure games. The weirdest game I've played is perhaps Portal, considering it also was the most unique game I've played, not only in gameplay but also in storyline.

 

[halfeclipse]

A PS1 game called LSDream Emulator. It also hold the dual distinction of being the weirdest game I've ever played since it's about as messed up as the name would lead you to believe.

 

[JEBWrench]

I would've made the Obscure crack, but I was ninja'd.

Let's see...

Sanitarium, which was pretty damn awesome.
Blood Bowl (DOS version, I think they recently did a remake) - I'm not sure if people unfamiliar with Games Workshop know it existed.
Okage: The Shadow King
And, of course, Syberia.

 

[Socken]

Heh, the other way around would be easier I guess.

Since none of my friends are really into gaming that much, they don't really know any games I've played beside GTAIV and Skate 2. A shame really.

Also really is really a really great word.

 

[dante brevity]

Chibi-Robo. WTF?

 

[TheTim]

dynasty warriors 4

 

[gryewolf]

Rugrats Mysterious adventure, Sonic R, and Freedom force. All old PC games I haven't played in years.
Edit: I have Megaman and Bass for my Gameboy. I use to own Princess Peach for the DS, the ONLY mario(esk) game I've ever beaten.
