What would you say is the most obscure videogame you've ever played, like the ones that you're certain NONE of us on these forums have ever even heard of before?

Here are my contenders:

Mountain Peak Battle Mess: Some obscure 3DS eshop game I got for like $1.00 when the 3DS eshop was still open, this game taught me to not buy games just because they're cheap. (Because this game was awful, and I uninstalled it shortly afterwards) anyways yeah this game's pretty obscure

Snow Rain: Some obscure freeware VN I decided to download, well, I never finished it but I can barely find anything about it online, I think this one's probably one of the most obscure games I played

Random fruit clicker game I made in school: I mean this would probably be the most obscure game I played by definition, CAUSE I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO PLAYED IT, not even my friend's wanted to play this game. I just developed this knock-off awful cookie clicker game in math class last year and well... I'm the only one who played it so I guess this would be the most obscure game I played.

Anyways share the most obscure video games you've played here! Maybe we can discover some cool, fun videogames (Or not so cool or fun videogames) but still just share some!

@Rndmguypassingby Hey, I've heard of that game! I also used to play that game also back in 2016! I kind of just remember playing that game with my cousin back when I visited her in the states. I don't really play it that much anymore but fun game nonetheless!

Circus - Interton VC4000
I doubt very much that anyone has ever played the game or the console lol.
It's basically a version of Arkanoid though, was the only cartridge I had for the console.

Girls - Philips CD-i
Basically a porn slideshow with mini games.
Seems a very rare game, haven't seen it on eBay very often, fought pretty hard to get mine.

Private Idol Tokubetsu-Hen Kogyaru Daijyakka 100 - Sega Saturn
Same basic idea as above, except with fully clothed seifuku models.
Just bought it because I didn't know what the hell it was (still don't lol).

Incursion: Halls of the Goblin King. It's a d20-based traditional roguelike. It's like a surefire-charm of normy-repellant. It's also an amazing game.

For me, it's literally the first video game I had ever owned and played that is also the most obscure one I've owned and played. So... I'm just gonna quote that post I made a bit ago.

Daviljoe193 said:
Not sure where either my copy of it or my Gameboy have gone (I got them both from the same small name game store that no longer exists in Fall River. I think it was called StillPoint Comics and Games), but it'd be a rather mundane puzzle game called QBillion.



EDIT: Hey, I found the location on Google Streetview...'s historical view. RIP StillPoint, you started it all for me.


It's an okay game, but nothing more. Only thing I still remember is that the first in-game password was the word WALL.

Oh the Pac Guy games for sure. At my local Goodwill they had a disc with like 6 of them on there and it is a copyright infringement fever dream.



Skip 11 minute in for pure kino

EDIT: Okay no I need to talk about these games for a second. How the fuck does someone come across this? Like where does this come from? There is a whole game his city gets nuked so he goes out for revenge. The final game ends on a cliffhanger star trek reference.

These games have probably done irreparable harm to me since they occupy some of my grey matter.

retro city rampage dx is a game i played a lot throughout my childhood since it was on my brother's steam account. it's filled with a lot of... well, retro nostalgia, and i enjoyed it a ton even though i never grew up in that sort of era. i don't see a lot about it online at all, but it's a very great game.

full metal furies is a really good one i rarely see anything about, my brother gave me a steam key for it and i love it, at some point i'd like to play it with friends one day (since that's how it's supposed to be played, however there is a singleplayer mode)

also, wattam. made by the same guy who made katamari damacy. do check it out, it has a lovely story to it.

If Flash games and 1 person projects don't count then probably Turtix and Turtle Odyssey 2. Loved those games really much.

Although the former became ridiculously easy after getting the fire shot ability, and the latter had the strange habit of rewarding the player for messing up – putting secret rooms on the bottom of deep pits that you normally try to jump over.
