StarTropics isn't really obscure, it's just that no one cares about it anymore.
I've traveled into some pretty stupidly obscure territories, mostly on the NES and Famicom, and I'm happy the majority of them have stayed obscure, to be honest. Random crap like
Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom and
Q-Taro WanWan Panic deserve to stay buried in time. And really, with the ever widening availability of information on this kind of stuff these days, it's harder and harder to say a game is truly "obscure" anymore. While very few people have probably ever played
No One Can Stop Mr. Domino,
Byte Hell 2000 or
Pepsi Man, everyone knows what they are at this point.
There are, however, a few games I know very few people have played that I really wish they would. Stuff like the
Zettai Zetsumei Toshi games (Disaster Report and Raw Danger in NA), the third of which I'm praying hits over here at some point. And stuff that's come out in recent years I've attempted (and failed) to champion around the Drome, like
Viva Pinata and
God Hand.
