Abstract, virtually unheard-of old games you once owned/played

Titus the Fox for Gameboy

Haven't played it, but our Physics teacher has a big bucket of Lego in the technician's office, and I found it in there, so naturally I wanted to play it, haven't tried it yet, so don't know what it's like, all I know is what's on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titus_the_Fox and that doesn't even have much to say about it.

EDIT http://www.mobygames.com/game/lagaf-les-aventures-de-moktar-vol-1-la-zoubida

The original version apparently, even more obscure

Shadow Warrior. Virtually the same type of game as Doom or Redneck Rampage (if any of you have played that), it was a comical FPS about a ninja/samurai with a sense of humor. Also he had a sword and a freaking nuclear missile launcher, which was awesome.

Baten Kaitos Origins

NOTE: If any of these aren't as unknown as I think, please tell me.

Tombi/Tomba one of my favorite games in the world, unfortunately too expensive for me to buy now.

Vib Ribbon was pretty fun

Abe's Oddyssey and Abe's Exoddus were amazing and almost unheard of too.

Croc was great

Summoner was one hell of a fighting game, though I'm not sure if it was well known or not.

40 Winks wasn't a bad PS1 game.

Alfred Chicken too and Team Buddies kicked ASS.

The one game I've played that I've never seen mentioned on the internet or outside of my house, Rascal. A ps1 game. Fun little thing about a boy with a bubble gun shooting things with bubble sand whatnot.
Actually I've never heard mention of Dead Ball Zone on the 'net either. I wonder how many times I'm going to remember something and edit this, so far twice.

Destruction Derby on PS1 was good, though not sure if it was well known. Correct me if it's not. (3rd edit)

Running Wild and Cardinal Syn. (4th edit) Ah, the joys of getting 90% of my games out of the bargain bin.

Snap, almost forgot one of my favorites. Bloody Roar.

Edit number 6, Rollcage. Memories are just flooding back to me now. (Also wipeout, but I'm not sure if that was well known back then like it is now)

I'm not counting edits now. the Gex games were fairly obscure if memory serves right, awesome too.

Rollaway, also known as Kula World

Creatures, there's another one.
Bomberman: Fantasy Race, Syphon Filter, Omega Boost, Rat Attack!
Mort the Chicken, Soccer Kid, Parappa the Rapper and a PS2 game, Portal Runner.

There are more but I can't remember their names. Not sure whether to put Lemmings here, is it well known?

Bajillionth edit: Crash Bandicoot and Spyro games, also not sure if those are obscure/virtually unheard of but I rarely see them mentioned anywhere these days.

Good Lord, I managed to forget Medievil.
Good Lord again, I forgot my favorite vampire game that no-one's ever heard of - Soul Reaver.

Overboard (or Shipwreckers)
Point Blank, Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time, Worms, Area 51 (ps1 game).
FUCKIN' MICRO MACHINES!

Whiplash too.

I never played the original, but Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors kicked nine kinds of shit out of a lot of stuff that I was playing at the time. It was on the original Xbox, and mixed loosely interpreted Japanese mythology with something like Dynasty Warriors on speed and acid.

 

[D Moness]

No one I've ever spoken to seems to have heard of Illusion of Gaia, it was a fucking awesome game even though I still can't get past that first boss.

Baten Kaitos Origins

Both great games. Shame i had to import origins (no european release) also by trying to simplify the battle system i found it more annoying.


Well for me unirally. A racing game on the snes. Unicycles on the most strangest courses.

 

[googleit6]

PokeSnap, Pokemon Stadium, Luigi's Mansion, Sims URBZ, Harvest Moon...

Though I'm sure a few of those were pretty popular...

 

[anthony87]

Ronin Blade on PS1.

Essentially a Resident Evil game set in Feudal Japan.

 

[SpaceGhostPoncherello]

star shot space circus fever.
weirdest game i ever played. I never knew wtf was going on and i never found someone who heard it before

HOOOOLY Jesus. Someone else that's actually played this game. Never thought I'd see the day.
That was one weird-ass game I tells ye, pretty fun though.

 

[Pinklespork]

It's hardly unknown, but Beyond Good & Evil is a game I had to track down on the internet to get a copy of, played it to death, and loved every second of it. When I heard that a sequel might be on the way, I nearly orgasmed, and when I heard that it might not happen, I nearly died. It's a fantastic game that very few people bothered to play.

Oooh! I just wiki'd that and the cover art looks very familiar to me! That /did/ look like a good game! I might have to give it a go once I deplete my backlog a wee bit

 

[Alleged Despair]

Stubbs the zombie: Rebel without a pulse for the original xbox. the only zombie game where you get be the zombie. good times....

 

[Pinklespork]

Bubsy the flying squirrel kinda thing? I liked Tombi, not sure how well that did...Also Boogerman

I'm very mad that I never got to play anything more than the demo of Tombi D:< Oh how I searched for it, but to no avail. But lucky me, it's on ebay, floating around in three digit prices...ugh.

 

[Alleged Despair]

Shadow Warrior. Virtually the same type of game as Doom or Redneck Rampage (if any of you have played that), it was a comical FPS about a ninja/samurai with a sense of humor. Also he had a sword and a freaking nuclear missile launcher, which was awesome.

I loved Shadow Warrior. I wish i could still play it.

 

[Pinklespork]

Oh, I also played the Kula World demo and thought it was way trippy >w<
I was a great big Oddworld fan back from age 5, as well as Croc. Croc was one of the first games I ever played (that and Crash Bandicoot 2). Oh, and I played Gex: Deep Cover Gecko, too.
Aaah, nostalgia

I played that too. Awesome game. I feel a high five is called for here. *Raises hand*

-high fives- Yea! I actually dressed up as Stubbs for Halloween last year xD I made the costume myself.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Project: Snowblind, was my favorite game ever for a long while. It had pretty nice story, and very fun gameplay to boot!

Also, the original Conflict series. Not the shit that was Denied Ops, I mean Desert Storm 1 and 2, and Global Terror. Those were amazing games.

 

[LiveFromHades]

You can, on DOS box. Lo Wang conquer you little snake coward!

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Armed and Dangerous. Hilarious cutscenes and unusual weapons. Shark gun anyone?
