Favorite Obscure Games.

[SniperWolf1564]

So, what games do you like that are almost completely obscure to the general public? Just to start:

Touhou series. While I was browsing around 4chan's /f/ board, I came across this flash. My curiosity was somewhat peaked at that moment, having no idea of what it was about. I started searching around for Perfect Cherry Blossom, and once I found the demo for it, I was hooked. Coincedentally enough, it was enough to get me to like bullet hell.

Cave story. I only saw one of my friends play this in one of my classes on occasion. When I started playing it, I took a liking to it's story line, and the NES style graphics and sound.

Bunny Must Die. I don't have much of any real idea of what is going on in this game, apart from a flat chested bunny girl doing shit. It's fun, and it reminds me of Castlevania. It is a simple game, since you run around collectig power-ups, and fighting bosses. To add more insult to injuy, the ablity to move right is a power up.

I forget but it's this game where you play as a VIctorian woman and you go around glove slapping people. AshfordPride knows what I'm talking about.

Also Katamari Damacy.

Terribly underrated.

Also, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Melty Blood: Act Cadenza Version B. Two best 2D fighters ever and nobody plays them.

I actually want to play that. It is coming out on Xbox Live Arcade sometime in the future, and the videos I've seen of it look good.

Drakengard 2. The gameplay is very repetitive, but the plot makes up for it all. Same for Drakengard.

The original was horseshit, but the second one had some fun in it (and less insane translation errors).

Are you sure? The game's a real bitch! Think you speed through it because you can change colors and absorb bullets? No you can't! It only adds more difficulty! But seriously, you have to be a real bad ass to beat it.

Mark Ecko's Getting Up: Content Under Pressure is about as obscure a game as I have that I truly love. Mostly stupid story, but it's just the fun of graffiti, with some acrobatics, stealth, and fighting mixed in.

[WritersBlock]

Rocket Knight Adventures
Bubsy
Day of the Tentacle
Rainbow Island
Alex the Kidd (rock paper scissors ftw!)

I <3'd my mega drive/master system, shame I don't have them anymore... :'(

None of you have even mentioned slightly obscure games yet. Anyways, Hugo's House of Horrors series on DOS .
