haha i was definitely going to mention Tomba. I absolutely loved the first one, but never got a chance to play the second. And since we're talking about playstation 1 games, i was the only kid in my neighborhood who owned monster rancher 2.Zeromaxx said:
UFO : Alien Invasion. A free 3D game much like the original X-COM, but with much better planetscape and very hard-science technology. It has stayed unknown mainly because until recently the downloads page had the several years old 1.0 version despite more advanced versions being available through the forums.

R.A.D. (Robot Alchemic Drive): If anyone remembers the game it will usually be for its ungodly bad voice acting, but I love the game for its unique controls that made it feel like you were really piloting a giant robot.
Oooh, that's the one with the ferret (?) that was chained to a rabbit and used him as a weapon right? I remember playing a demo of it at a store when it came out. I thought it was kind of fun, didn't give it much thought at the time, but it's been stuck in the back of my mind ever since. It was just so absurd it's got me curious as to how the rest of the game looks like. I've always wanted to go back and take a second look at it, but it's really hard to find these days :-/Sassafrass said:
My personal pick would be Startopia. It was a Sim/Theme/Tycoon type of game where you had to manage a spacestation. You had to build all kinds of recreational facilities to accommodate bypassing spacefarers and employ all kinds of aliens and stuff. There was almost a HHGTTG vibe to it, it was all great fun
i would say the bs zela games. if you haven't heard of it you have good reason. it was only available some time in the 1990's in japan during the certain times that the radio broadcast was on. the radio broadcasts ended and and so did the games until some people managed to get one of the rare cartridges. it is only available with a emulator.
i only played the game known as ancient stone tablets master quest on the website. there are 3 others. two of them are slightly different versions of the first loz game with modern touches. the other is just the link to the past.
ancient stone tablets is just link to the past except it has a different story. it use many same items and same bossed. over all it was not bad. beyond my game froze when i was about to get at cape. after that happen i got pissed off and just used a cheat. but in my mind i din't cheat at all since i should have got it assuming my game had no problems.
if any one cares to know more i will tell you were i found a video that described it well.
also if you want play the games just search bs zelda on google or what ever search engine you choose

I think Indigo Prophecy should be disqualified since it is considered a high profile cult classictheonlyblaze2 said:
I really enjoyed Project Eden on the PS2. While it seemed like a fairly bland shooter at first, it was actually a very deep puzzle game with some shooting elements, rather than the other way around.
Today, the game has kind of faded into obscurity, and I don't think anyone I've ever met have ever played or heard of it, even though it has established a somewhat small cult follwing.
As for a couple of others, there is Curse: The Eye of Isis, also for the PS2. It's a fairly obscure survival-horror game in the same style as Silent Hill or Resident Evil, and it was surprisingly well-made judging by the relatively low budget.
Another one, which I think some people may actually have heard of, is Gregory Horror Show, another PS2 game. It's almost like a parody of survival-horror games, and it was a ton of fun to play. I don't think it was ever released in America though, and it's not that easy to find these days. Still, it was very enjoyable for it's funny characters and surprisingly good story.

The whole Legacy Of Kain series, I wouldn't exactly call it super obscure but still. It's story is so amazing, ok, Blood Omen 2 and Soul Reaver 2 were both quite buggy but I didn't mind rebooting after crashes because I really wanted to know what happend next in the story. Also, the voice acting might be the best I've ever heard in a game.
Skies of Arcadia: Legends. A legitimately competent JRPG with enough going for it to allow me to put aside my usual prejudice against JRPGs. I've never even heard it mentioned anywhere but from a couple of people on the Escapist.
