Share your obscure, import, or otherwise unusual or unpopular video game choices here. These would preferably be games you played and actually liked. Maybe some people can be introduced to games they never heard of or overlooked.

Here's just a few of mine:

Sega 32X
-Knuckles Chaotix

Playstation Imports
-One Piece Grand Battle Rush (kind of like Power Stone)
-One Piece: Pirate's Carnival (it's like Mario Party with One Piece characters)

DS (I play all of the mystery/detective games, even the obscure ones)
-Unsolved Crimes
-Touch Detective

*Ninjinister* · 08-18-2009, 12:41 AM

The Outfoxies (arcade)
Shogun Warriors (arcade)
Blood Warrior (arcade)
The Invincible (Korean DOS game)
Mutant DNA (Korean DOS game)
X-Men (Hyperscan)
The Ring Infinity (WonderSwan)
Astyanax (NES)
Psycho Fox (Master System)
Kenseiden (Master System)

Just a few from off the top of my head.

Anything with "Valis" in the title for Turbo CD.

愛 · 08-18-2009, 12:52 AM

I played it on Sega CD emulator, then again on my PSP.

It's actually a great game.

Lil G · 08-18-2009, 12:53 AM

TMNT for PSP...

It was the reason I got the ill-fated 32X system back in the mid-90s! I really do like this game and always have. It's too bad we never got a sequel.

**Barkworm** · 08-18-2009, 01:19 AM

Terranigma on the Super NES?! One of the greatest Action Adventures on the SNES.

I've played the hell out of Astyanax, and two of my friends actually own Psycho Fox and Kenseiden. Both are fun games.

*Voltron* · 08-18-2009, 01:39 AM

Match Mania (Shi Sensyo) for the original gameboy. That has some catchy music going on.

Check it out.

Volley Fire for the GBA.

More kick ass music.

**Krang** · 08-18-2009, 01:51 AM

Pop'n Music series (PS/PS2/arcade)
Tempo (32X)
Parasol Stars (TG-16)
Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary and Puyo Puyo 7 (DS)
Picross DS
Joyful Road/Munch Mobile (arcade)

I would put Rhythm Tengoku, Rhythm Tengoku Gold, and the 2 Ouendan games, but I know there are others here who have played them.

*XERO* · 08-18-2009, 02:23 AM

I guess the most obscure games I can think of are the StarTropics games on the NES. I'm pretty much the only Dromer who mentions them the most.

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.

poiuytre · 08-18-2009, 05:21 AM

I got it as a gift from a relative on vacation. It's not that terrible of a game but everything about it is just so darn weird and stupid.

*Spitfire* · 08-18-2009, 06:29 AM

I played "Disaster Report". That game was pretty fun from what I can remember.

Some weird ones I played, though not so obscure I guess were "Mr. Mosquito" and "Stretch Panic". Another really obscure one I played was "Incredible Crisis". I've never heard someone mention that before. It was on the PS1.

Yeah, those last three aren't as obscure as the rest of my list, but I can still mention them (to people offline and online) and still a majority of them have no idea what those are.

*Cure* · 08-18-2009, 10:49 AM

I played Dragon Spirit for the NES and no one seems to remember that. It was pretty cool. The for the SNES I had some D&D game called Eye of the Beholder that I HOPE no one played.

*That Matt Guy* · 08-18-2009, 11:31 AM

Ever hear of Operation Secret Storm for NES? Ever actually played the cartridge of it? I have unfortunately.

*ToTheNines* · 08-18-2009, 12:29 PM

Barbie Pet Rescue on the PC.

*raphael_is_cool* · 08-18-2009, 12:36 PM

Hudson Hawk on the Gameboy? I can't really think of something that obscure.
