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...

Sergeek Highfleet is awesome but i liked devs previous game Hammerfight more. It came out during early indie era of games and due to its russian origin remained under the radar of many, imo completely unjustly! It is an action physics game where you use your mouse to control a helicopter equipped with swords and hammers and giant cannons that are connected by a ball joint. so by spinning the copter your hammer spins with it and like that you can smash enemy copters and monsters. Its super fun and awesome it is the only game to date that i know of that fully utilizes all the unique properties of a computer mouse. It set in a similarly unique setting as highfleet (possiblly the same setting) arabic steam punk dune but with flying worms. It has many game modes and lots of content.

Pedestrian BTW for those who want to try game. it was made ages ago it still launches no porbs but you might want to check out steam guides for some tweaks for one it has trouble with newer mouses and newer monitors

Talking about russian indie games theres also https://kozinaka.itch.io/insatia
it is a snake like game except you control your snake by "wiggling" (wiki says that the proper term is undulatory locomotion) the better your wiggle skills are the better you are at the game highly polished free game its quite fun

While not super obscure, there's this game made by Treasure that I never see people talking about.

It had a few different names around the world, in Japan it was called Hippa Linda, in Europe Freak Out and in America Stretch Panic. Stretch Panic seems to be what most people call it now. It's a very weird game to say the least lol. The game is pretty short and is a glorified boss rush but it's pretty fun. You play as Linda as she battles her 12 sisters that have been turned into demons to exorcise them and make them normal again. You do that by using her scarf that has come to life which stretches the bosses and makes them lose HP. It's as weird as it sounds.

The look of the game is very bizarre and pretty low poly but I think the art style works around that pretty neatly. The game is most well known for the few levels that aren't boss arenas where you encounter enemies with some "interesting" design lol. The game isn't amazing but it's a short, fun ride.

You can find so many cool video games for your computer on old websites. Use search from marginalia and wiby me. I have fond memories of playing Trash Killer 2 when I was younger. https://www.kraisoft.com/arcade-games/trashkiller/index.htm

Never see too many people talk about it, but B.O.B. on SNES is one of my fav platformers.

Sandro Loved this game so much!
Okay so I have never heard anyone else talk about this game: Gubble. It was on an old disc I got from my parents with a huge collection of games, the majority pacman games. It was my absolute favorite disc and I was obsessed with pacman as a kid.

WeirdTales

Vangers. Just one word.

(I was genuinely surprised when found out people were speedruning it)

Baroque is a game I played recently. It has a sega saturn version and a ps2 remake (and a ps1/phone visual novel) but I've only played the Saturn version
It's a first person shooter horror rpg game with vague themes and It's genuinely scary and hard. It's the scariest Game I've played, and I really like horror. Probably my fav horror game after SH 2,3 and 4.

The game takes place in the nerve tower, where you need to progress to higher levels. There's a wide array of different items that do wacky shit (with extra cryptic names) and swords that have different stats and you know the deal
The music is awesome, complementing the atmosphere of the game perfectly. The movement is really restrictive (Imagine Silent hill but It's in first person and then make it 10 times clankier) which makes the game actually challenging and scary

It was REALLY HARD to find an English rom that worked properly, and way harder to find a saturn emulator that could run it, but I managed to make it work with mednafen. I probably put more hours tryig to make the game run than actually play the game XD
anyways, if you like horror, definitely play this. but make sure to save the game with the emulator cause when you save in game, it doesn't let you continue and forces you to quit. The devs were really not fond of the whole "saving your progress" concept lol

cdromance.org has one?

Remember the site, I guess, since it has tons of stuff and will probably save you some trouble in the future.

It is kind of weird to say that "this game has so bad controls it's challenging". It's like calling navigating bad UI "challenging". Or claiming that ridicolous physics in the US version of Automodelista make the game challenging.
Bad stuff is bad, in my opinion, and it makes the game worse... but, well, ultimately, whatever works for you. I find soul in cheap B-movies like VelociPastor, so who am I to judge.
