When I got Sonic 3, it was on a school day. No Christmas, no birthday, no epic suspense or drama whatsoever.

When I got home from school, it was just there, on the table, waiting for me to put it in the console.

The inner strength meter was kind of a pain, but it was a really innovative game with tons of training modes and cool features. Easily one of my favorite Genesis games. The Sega CD sequel was a great game, too, although it doesn't top the original for me. Too bad they don't make games like this anymore.

That's it, I'm making a thread just for old school fighting games.

I don't really know if Vagrant Story for PS1 is obscure or not. From my own experience, the only people who know of it are Squaresoft/Square Enix fans (of which I am one). Xenogears is another Squaresoft classic that I've discovered a lot of people don't know. I also played Metal Gear Solid for the GBC, and I don't know anyone else who has played that. I'm sure someone on this board will correct me, though.

One of my favorite games is quite obscure in that I've only known of one person to have even heard of it. If ya ever get the chance to play Legend of Legaia (PS1), then by all means do so. Another more obscure game that I can think of is The Guardian Legend (NES).

Peanut · 10-09-2009, 09:25 PM

Neither are very obscure at all. I actually recall a lot of buzz around Legaia, mostly because it was developed by the Wild Arms devs, and everyone wanted to see what they could do in a post FFVII world.

Guardian Legend is even less obscure, for the simple fact that it's IREM published and Compile developed, and both companies have a strangely large fan base.

Certainly not known outside of the games community, though.

Shipoopi02 · 10-14-2009, 05:37 PM

I guess it's just me, then. Well, they were obscure games to everyone I knew. And that's the important thing.

I have that game myself.

Just found that this game was apparently only a European release.

Noah's Ark on the NES. I used to love this game but found it really tricky as a kid.

Yes. Those are evil drainplugs as mini-bosses.

Felix the Cat for NES. Its not that bad actually.

**GK Punk** · 10-18-2009, 04:48 AM

I never realized just how much I over did the NES games as a kid until this thread. Even the most obscure of the obscure I played. I swear I must not have done anything but play video games and guitar until I hit 19.

Ra · 10-18-2009, 08:25 AM

I'm probably the only pimpin' bitch here who's ever played the goddamn "Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends" game from 1992.

That crap was so hardcore. Only the most pimpin' of kids knew about it's goddamn awesome existence.

Christ I hated that game...so goddamn much... James/The Red train that keeps running backwards seemed to have an almost homoerotic attraction to my bumpers.

My brother bought a Super Famicom a week or so ago, and he picked up this game called The Firemen. It. Is. So. Awesome.

Believe it or don't, yes we are.

Does anyone else remember Soldiers of Fortune? I don't know that it's all that obscure since it was on both Genesis and SNES, but I still don't hear it mentioned much. Great game that's especially fun playing two-player co-op. I remember that at first I thought it was frustrating and too hard (as a kid), but gave it another try later on and it quickly became one of my favorite Genesis games. Navvie is still the man.

*Roland* · 10-23-2009, 03:12 PM

I think im the only one that played pretty girl fighter (NES) . I can't finish the first stage because everything is japanese. So i don't know what to do.

Ra · 10-23-2009, 07:14 PM

Oh man, another game has resurfaced in my memory. "Mixed Up Fairy Tales" from 1991 for the DOSBox. I loved that game, but the badguy/troll scared the hell out of me.

You mean DOS? DOSBox is an emulator of DOS, right?
