Fun videogames only you played

What it says on the tin. Share obscure videogames that seemingly nobody but you has played, but with the caveat that they can't be terrible or boring. First...

frijole del alta Congo's Caper!!!
I hadnt heard of it until a few years back where i got a retrobit super retro trio plus which had that and the two Joe & Mac games.
I haven't played a ton of the joe and mac games but i really enjoyed Congo's.

frijole del alta

Lumeinshin yeah I've never played joe and mac. only reason I know congos caper was because growing up I had one of those 10 in 1 cartridges for the snes and congos caper was one of the games. it had other obscure games like top gear and especially choplifter III

Gigachad I do. I was first exposed to this series through the stripped-down PS1 port. I've played the PC version of the first one and it has a lot of depth to it. There used to be a somewhat active but niche fan community for this series that was held together through fan sites, but I have no idea what state it's in these days.

I think the biggest difficulty with finding info about this game is its name. The name is effective and catchy, but it's far too generic. Whenever I try to search it up, I usually get results for other games with "creature" in the title like "Nightmare Creatures 2".

A couple of years ago I discovered the old gold box DOS D&D games from when SSI had permission from TSR to make games using their property. I started wit the easier ones like the 2 dark sun games and the 2 ravenloft games as well as the 3 eye of the beholder games. Now I’m just going through the dragonlance games and will eventually touch up on spelljammer and then deathkeep.

So I recently purchased this game

Honestly its a very good arcady mountain racing game.
somewhat pricey but man i consider it to be one of the top drift + japan games on steam(not that i played a ton of em)

Lethal League BLaze. I´m not sure it could be considered obscure but the users on it as of today are minimal, specially on switch. However it´s an absolute blast once you get the hang of it and start doing some cool, lasting plays. Totally recommended if you want to have genuine fun with such a simple concept

P.S: OST goes so hard

Ai Cho Aniki on the PC Engine CD, it's batshit insane and is what is considered an "idiot" game in Japan but that doesn't stop it from being absolutely brilliant and quite fun, rom for it ain't hard to find if you get the tinybestset off the internet archive but I didn't tell you that 😉

Captain Claw. It's a pretty unpopular game but I think it's awesome. It's about a pirate cat that embarks on an adventure to find the amulet of nine lives and you collect treasure along the way. If you want to give it a try here is a link with the game, make sure the cutscenes are working, they play at the beginning: https://captainclaw.net/en/downloads.html

YuGiOh Forbidden Memories is complete bullshit but I kind of love it. The NA version is basically unbeatable because it's balanced around having cards that were taken out of the NA version.

It's really interesting to see an alternative take on a YuGiOh as this was in development before Konami started making the game. It's such a piece of painful grindy piece of shit but man, that didn't stop me from putting a decent chunk of my childhood into this game. Easily one of my favourite games on the PS1

Both this and it's sequel are criminally underrated cart racers. Went through a chunk of it recently and my only complaint are the Monkey Ball tracks in the first game can eat my ass.

I actually found out about this game a month or two ago. I got it on my R4 ready to go. This game looks tight

You should try Yugioh: Duelist of the Roses

A lot of vanilla cards were given cool card effects, like Aqua Dragon turns every tile he touches into Umi terrain.

Stuntmania Reloaded: It's a game where you control little RC cars and explore large, uniquely themed maps doing car-kour in order to collect powerups, "batteries" and other collectible pieces. I can hardly find any mentions of this game. The steam page is up however and its like 5 dollars. It might just be nostalgia but this game is seriously fun.

sol My brother and I played this game as kids. It was so difficult. Beating the first match felt like an achievement. I don't think we ever beat the third or fourth opponent in either campaign.

Also, what the hell were they thinking using a War of the Roses setting? Absurd!

Phantasia

sol I also love Duelist of the Roses.

Vesti

sol Duelist of the Roses. I was never able to beat the first duel but...I love the concept and storyline of it. They should really remaster this or bring it back in some way.

I think it was really creative of them to use that setting, haven't seen it before in a video game. It's funny to see Bandit Keith with a Union Jack bandana.

I'd be curious if anyone here ever played StarKnights, it was something of an 90s 4X game in the style of Stellaris, but with a pseudo Warhammer 40k skin. To my understanding, the multiplayer side of it is still going. I've never heard any one else even mention the game before.

Not the sexiest game in the world, so I'll also ask if anyone has played any of the Arkhouse games. He (?) is an indie developer that's been at it for something like 10 years now, coming up with very difficult, and very bizarre games that look and play great. Never come close to a hit though, their best seller is Cube Gothic at a whopping 38 steam reviews.
