Most obscure games you own. - Tobu_ - 07-11-2014
Just games that you own that aren't that common or known that well,maybe known a bit but not THAT known
Adventures of Shuggy,I played the demo in 2012 then in 2014 a friend sent me a copy. I played it and thought it was 'Ok' the fact that in some levels they take the direction changing *the levels where you can change the surface Shuggys on* away.
Another one is Steamworld Dig,Its this far down because 2 things,You mine in the game,and This game is kinda known bit,But its not as known as you may think,sure balrog has reviewed it,but did everyone go out and buy megaman 8 after he reviewed it? Nope. Steamworld Dig follows Rusty a robot digging,along the way you expand the town Rusty is in. Just watch balrog's review it goes more in-depth than I could.
Your free to add any games you think are obscure that you own!
RE: Most obscure games you own. - Mass Distraction - 07-11-2014
I won't count any digital downloads for myself here since I've downloaded a crap ton of obscure games on my computer.
Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring and Destrega for PS1. Both are 3D arena fighters, the former having some characters from Final Fantasy VII playable. While Destrega only focuses on the fighting thing, Ehrgeiz has way more going for it with the Quest Mode, which changes the game from a fighter to an action RPG. Seriously, if you happen to find this game for a reasonable price (which I doubt) I highly suggest getting it.
Steal Princess is a really nice puzzle adventure game for the DS but surprisingly not many people are aware of its existence. I did have to go on a little hunt to find a copy and managed to get one brand new and sealed.
And finally some Dreamcast horror. Carrier (which is a pretty shameless Resident Evil ripoff but pulls it off really well) Zombie Revenge (a tough arcade brawler set in the House of the Dead universe) and Blue Stinger. Not sure if Blue Stinger is that obscure but it is a really nice horror(ish) adventure game that doesn't get nearly enough love. Kinda reminds me of Dino Crisis.
Has anyone ever heard of City Crisis or Shao Lin? I have no idea if those are actually obscure or not but I have never in my life seen or heard a mention of them outside of my own collection. City Crisis is an overhead helicopter simulator for PS2 and Shao Lin is a weird adventure fighting game for PS1, though my copy IS pirated.
Those were some games I have just from the top of my head, you can check my Backloggery if you're interested in checking if I have anything interesting lying around: http://www.backloggery.com/massdistraction

I think it's "Majyuuou" and "Iron Commando" for the Super Famicom.

I've heard of Glover before,Never bought it or played it. It looks cool though.

I loved it. Then my little siblings really got into it and I had to hide it, then some point before I put it back with the display, it mysteriously got scratched up as heck making it unplayable.
RE: Most obscure games you own. - CosmykTheDolfyn - 07-11-2014
Let's see...
Rune Factory Frontier and Rune Factory 2. Harvest Moon... but with swords! And monsters! and dungeons!
Speaking of Harvest Moon, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. I love both of them.
I own Earthworm Jim, Earthworm Jim 2 and Earthworm Jim 3D.
The Ooze for the Sega Genesis. It's such a weird game. Basic storyline is that you're caught attempting to hack the computer of the company you work for to rat them out for the illegal experiments they're doing, the boss has two big guys inject with green ooze, causing you to melt into a pile of green mush and they flush you down the toilet. You somehow survive the process, and now as The Ooze, must fight your way back out of the sewers to seek revenge!
Pac-Man 2 for the Genesis, anyone?
How about Micheal Jackson's Moonwalker?
The Lost Vikings?
Super Hydlide?
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine?
Revolution X featuring Aerosmith?
But enough about genesis games I own. Let's move on to that SNES... thing... called "Lester the Unlikely". The only game where you play as a wimpy nerd who is so scared that he'll run away from enemies off cliffs and to your doom. Pitiful.
An absolute favorite of my N64 games is Hot Wheels Turbo Racing. Marvelous little game. I speedrun it.
A game I love for the Wii is Trackmania: Build To Race. Of course, all Trackmania games are excellent, but I feel BTR gets passed up on the love.
I know I have more that I'm forgetting right now...

Oh, and another thing I remembered, although it's not a game. I got one of these:

But I'll be shipping off the Pikachu controller here shortly.

I don't think Harvest Moon and Earthworm Jim would be counted as obscure.
I forgot about Pac-Man 2. I own it and played not too long ago and I still didn't remimber it.
I guss you could also count Vectorman, Robocop Vs The Terminator, and Hey You, Picachu!.
RE: Most obscure games you own. - CLXcool - 07-11-2014
Someone i know used to have the SNES game of Earthworm Jim and Zombie ate my neighbors. The later might not be so obscure to some, but it is.
As for myself. I own Freaky Flyers for the PS2. A Sonic collection for the genesis(that had Sonic 1, 2, and Dr.Mean machine). Thats all I can think about at the moment.
