Are there any games that you like but sadly are also enjoyed by only you out of all of your peers? Any gems out there that you think 90% of all gamers have never even heard of?


My favorite game of all time is Descent 3. It's a dizzying 3D PC FPS from 1999 where you are in a flying ship (rather than being some dude running around the ground) and you have six degrees of freedom and can fly and turn in any direction. The gameplay is absolutely sick, multiplayer is awesome, and the graphics are kickass for its time (although consumers lacking the system requirements at the time was a real setback). If anyone is familiar with the Descent series, I'd be real happy. I'm super duper hyped for Descent Wiiware expected later this year.

Every now and then I break out my DS and play the first Code: Lyoko game. I've always been a fan of the series, so it's fun to play it. Unlike the Wii version and the second, sucktastic game, the first one is engaging and has a good storyline that details Seasons 1 and 2.

Unfortunately, I seem to be one of the few fans of the show in my school, so naturally not many others have played it.

Not too many people seem to play Kirby Air Ride. It's a really fun racing game; and a crapton of fun minigames as well.

I myself like the original fallout game for the PC, the story is dynamic and the ability to do whatever you want makes it a great game, but i can't seem to find anybody who shares the same passion for it as i do. Another game that I like that not alot of people play is The Harvest Moon Series its a great "Break" game as i like to say, meaning like.....say you play Halo or something and it gets kinda boring so you take a break from it or games like that but overall the games are fun i like the fact that you can start a family in them.

Rocket Night Adventures.

Survival Crisis Z

Lead n' Gold

Red Read Redemption came out right after it and took the spotlight.

Oh and I play Kirby Air Ride

I've brought this up multiple times on the forums...

Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss
And it's sequel:
Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds

They're first-person RPG-like games with a medieval and mythical theme, in which you fight lots of different enemies, solve puzzles and win. I HIGHLY suggest you check them out. (By the way, they're now Abandonware)

I like the Heroes of Laggard series.I was always a fan of the series.

E...a...r...t...h..b...o...u...n...d..

The Total War Series.

Thats all I got without going too deep into my collection.

I believe I'm the only person in my County that has ever played Nostalgia. It's an RPG for the DS that's a lot like Final Fantasy, only more airships, no chocobos, and you play in the real world. Like, the Earth. And the plot revolves around lots of real national monuments and myths like Easter Island, Roman Mythology, Nirvana Palace, the Pyramid of Giza (the real one not the inflatable decoy) oh, and Asgard. But no Thor...

I'd say mostly kirby DS games, not much people play them, oh and star fox 64.

Another one I've got is Murumasa: The Demon Blade. It's a Japanese game about ninjas, and you go around sword-fighting with everything you see. It's art style is stunning, and the gameplay is amazing. Definitely worth a look.

I have a lot of games that are licensed that no one has heard of but are actually pretty good. Shrek 2, Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom, Fairly Odd Parents Shadow ********, not amazing games, but pretty good.

Iji.

I play the Phantasy Star Online series like a mother-. >:3

I also play a game I know NOBODY has heard of here, known as Shining Soul II. A wonderful multi-player Hack-n'-Slash RPG for the GBA. I have a love of them.

Hmm...Well, * knows Mario, Sonic, Kirby, and Pokemon are popular

Ah! Tales of Monkey Island, I bet you haven't heard of that. I don't know what to think if it's the most underrated/overrated game of all time.

I play Sonic 06 still, I hear many dont like it, but I still do, dispite the megaload of glitches. :/

My bro play alot of anime games I never heard of.

You people are bad at obscure games. Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, Monkey Island, ALL OF THESE are popular. Most things made by Nintendo DO NOT COUNT.

Kingdom Hearts, Star Wars, Crash: No

Burnout: Yes.

Burnout isn't THAT obscure, but it's better than the other ones.

Now then, here's a good model: If your game is in a franchise that appears on this list, it isn't obscure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ame_franchises

Also, no recent stand-alones with lots of Fan-fare, like Spore, or Scribblenauts.

So, actually, by my logic, Monkey Island IS an obscure game, as is Shining Soul and Ace Attorney.

According to Sableyed's list, Mario Party is VERY underrated and so is Rayman's Raving Rabbids. I've played both of them and they aren't THAT bad but they're okay

.....Are you asking for really obscure or obscure because Kingdom Hearts is in that catagory....Alright, reallllllllllly obscure...Hmm....The Spongebob SquarePants Movie.

Anyone here play any Trackmania games? I'm acquainted with just one other person who plays them. I think it's a really nice arcade-like racing series, especially with the installation of Trackmania Nations Forever, since it's free and addicting.

Monkey Island and Ace Attorney are Internet Famous, but not regular famous.

I have a game called "Dr. Sudoku". A sudoku game with 1000 puzzles. I think they only sold like 2 copies.

Um.....Dr.Mario?

You know what's better then the movie game?
Battle for bikini bottom. Admit it.
Also, I like Legendary Starfy.

Anyone in SSBB is not from a rarely known game series.

...Does LostWinds count?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qFbxm2Da4k

Note: Please don't overlook it, LostWinds is a great game when you play it, just don't overlook it by the trailer

Also, I have Little Big Planet for PSP, not too many people have a PSP soooo....

Cave Story.

Go play it! Choose the Deluxe Package, I promise you'll love it.
(that or buy the WiiWare version)

The dragon quest series is fairly underated. Atleast I think so. o3o

Its art work is designed by the same person that did the dragon ball z series so its a very unique RPG. One of the best too. :>

I know that Valve and most of their works are very popular in mainstream media, but I am amazed at the number of people my age who have never even heard of Half-Life or it's sequel.

Also, I once owned a game for the PC called Shining Soul II, but it seems to be a different game than the one for the GBA (or perhaps I'm simply recalling the name wrong). Whateverteh case, the game was a lot of fun, and I'm rather unhappy that I can't find it anymore.

Also, although the Bomberman series is pretty well known there is one game for the PC called Atomic Bomberman that a lot of people don't seem to know. It's basic Bomberman action, but the characters actually shout the most absurd taunts at each other. It was hilarious.

I'm also a fan of the Myst series.

Drawn to Life. Ecxpet I hate the ending to the second one.

Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure!
They talk really odd in that game.

Wow. No one, apparently, has ever heard of those games called Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda, Kirby's Dream Land...




...just kidding.

Mine is Bakugan.

I just picked up these two new games called Lux-PaIn and Monster Rancher DS. Lux-PaIn is kind of like Ace Attorney In the sense of Gameplay, but you play as this Secret Detective Person named Atsuki Saijo who uses a special ability called Sigma to read people's thoughts and Emotions in forms called Shinen. I'm stuck on this one part where you have to find this Girl in a certain amount of time.

It seems as if I'm the only one on the internet with Exitebots.

It's a racing game, but it's not your typical Kart, car, or plane driving. You race in a bot around some real-world courses, such as those themed in Canada, Fiji, ect. There are also these "?" switches that, when driven into, they can do stuff like changing the terrain to create a huge jump, make items appear, and if you grab a wrench (The bot has an arm it can use to grab items) your bot transforms so it gains legs. You're pretty much invincible, faster, and you send others flying when you kick them.

And the twist is that it's not all about getting 1st place. You have to gain stars by doing various tricks, etc. to win.

I feel like I've explained half the game, but it looks pretty rushed...

I play... Ristar and Ogre Battles.

Kings Quest, Torin's Passage, Shivers, Gabriel Knight, Laura Bow... That kind of stuff. lol. Actually, I don't really play them anymore, but I used to a lot as a kid. I don't think I have ever spoken to a single person in my life who has any kind of idea what those games even are.

Evil Genius, It was a fun game for a bit, but it got boring fast. So I modded it so that I'd be allowed to have 1,000 Minions instead of 100...oh man the chaos I caused.

For me it's Chibi Robo Park Patrol. It hasn't been released in the UK, but I imported it since I wanted to play a Chibi Robo game, having not played the Gamecube Chibi Robo game. I like it, it's a nice little charming game (:

I have Avatar: The Last Airbender for GameCube. I suck at it.

No one plays the game "Tail Concerto" for the Playstation 1.
I love that game, and it's still one of my favorites!

Monster rancher as a franchise is great.
Uh, how bout, GUNSTAR SUPER HEROES.
Oh yeah and bakugon sucks

I play the Suikoden series of RPGs. I started off with Tactics. It was pretty awesome.

Cave Story has a huge modding fan-base. I was a member of their forums, but since I haven't done anything productive there (meaning modding or spriting), I left them. I wonder what happened there in this one (or two) years...

Red Orchestra. Basically it's a WWII game based mainly around the Eastern Front.(Soviet Front)
I like it because it's one of those games where you don't know your ammo count, Health or enemy location. It tries to go full out realistic so it is challenging.

.Hack Infection.

civilazation III or atleast i don't think anyone else still plays a game that old besides me

Conker's Bad Fur Day, I asked most of the mods on VR and they said "No". Underrated classic 3D platforming gem.

Hm...
Would Epic Mickey count? I swear I'm like the only fan on this forum..

Ufouria The Saga.

Would Tatsunoko vs Capcom count? (since MvC3 is out)

Only posing because your missing the obscure stuff

XBox: Disney Cars none of my friends play it

I've started playing a relatively new indie game called Magicka, which sees you as a wizard creating spells and clearing levels with a unique spell-casting system with hundreds of spell combinations (ARSE mines, anyone?). While it's not a really obscure game, not many people here play it, and if you don't play it go grab it from Steam; it's only £8!

I don't know anyone IRL that has even heard of Resident Evil Gaiden for the GBC. I love that game. It's a little hard though.

Barnyard and Crash Twinsanity

Yeah, they're childish games, but really fun.

Recently I went to a old game store and picked up Quest64 it's kinda odd and it seems like a wannabe Zelda but it's one of my top favorite games that brings back alot of memories.

I always have a hard time finding other Fire Emblem fans. Most people have heard of it since Smas Bros. Melee, but still not many have actually played the series. =/ Two of my favorite games ever are Fire Emblem.

Animal Crossing: Wild World!

...What? Nobody plays it any more...

The Digimon World Series.
