Game that you think only you've heard of

[-Seraph-]

Karnov, an old sidescroller on the NES. You play as Karnov, this shirtless circus strong-man looking dude who can shoot fireballs. The enemies were really random, like golems and dinosaurs and shit. It was pretty crazy.

And there was some other game, but I can't remember the name of it. You were this little chick, and there was, like, a whale or something I think. Lol, really random, I know.

Dude I remember Karnov, that game was cool, and really hard at times.

I've got the winner: it was this European game for GBC à la Pokemon except with 2D fighting instead of turn-based battles. It's so obscure, I don't even remember its name.

EDIT: Haha, I hate to sound elitist, but Vagrant Story and Jet Set Radio Future aren't obscure at all - we're talking about a Square RPG and an Xbox bundle-in.

2ND EDIT: Neither is Comix Zone or Medieval:Total War. The former was one of the preeminent Genesis titles and the latter is part of a well-known game franchise. Try Spartan for an obscure Total War title, maybe.

Advent Rising, Original XBox.

I think its safe to assume even the developers forgot about this, as it is set up for a sequel, but there isnt one bieng created as far as I know. It is still fun, but is graphically bad.

Jet Grind Radio (Dreamcast) > Jet Set Radio Future (Xbox) by a factor of roughly 20,402.

I didn't think anyone else had ever heard of Koudelka until I included it in my byline the week before last. Loved that game. ToeJam & Earl and DecapAttack are other old faves that not many folks seem to recall. (I loved ToeJam & Earl 2 and 3, even, though no-one else seemed to.)

Mystical Ninja starring Goemon, clearly everybody needs to find this game. emu/rom it f you have to..

There's no emulator good enough for it.

Ogre Battle series. I'm typing a review on Ogre Battle 64.

This is my first post. I felt I had to make an account just to reply to this thread.

Pokemon Colosseum. I bet a lot of people have heard of it, but I want to say it anyways. I remember getting about 4-5 years ago, around when it came out. I beat it then didn't play for years. Recently I played and discovered how much fun it was. It was so fun that I bought the sequel, Gale of Darkness. I haven't had time to play that one though.

And about Kuru Kuru Kururin. A lot of people have heard about that game, as one of the assist trophies in Brawl is from that game. I checked on the site because the pictures looked familiar. That game looks fun. Here's the link :

No. Even I've heard of that one. Could not get on with it when I had it.

Psi-ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. Epic game, got absolutely no publicity at all. Best gory, violent psychic game to date.

Untrue, there is an emulator good enough for it, seeing as I am able to play it on my computer. Can't direct you to a site but the emu that I use is called Project64; the game runs perfectly on it.

Superb game. There was another very similar game that came out around the same time, the name of which I'll rmember as soon as I hit post.

Second Sight, like Psi Ops and the two sort of stole each others thunder.

That's the bugger!

Its seems I must be the only one that knows about Alpha Centauri because even though it was SIGNIFIGANTLY better than Civ, Sid hasn't remade it.
Astro Algebra is a game I doubt anyone knows. Awesome game

 

[CAB0SE]

Time Splitters: Future Perfect

I've heard everyone rave about the second one, but I thought number 3 was actually marginally better. I've seen reviews around for it, but it never really comes up it a lot of conversations

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

Bouncer if anyone else has ever heard of it. Was a 3d streets of rage-esq fighter for ps2.

Killed a few hours and that guy (something begining with V) had horn coming out of his head!

Oh and i swear the main character was ripped off an put into kingdom hearts

One of the first games for the PS2 I believe.


It seems I'm the only one who recalls Dreamweb on the PC. The game had a controversial sex scene and some fairly brutal slayings which caused a stir when it was first released but it has since been lost to obscurity.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

Age of Wonders, which is odd as it's very well rated. Definitely one of the best TBS's ever. *mumbles* Stupid morons that don't appreciate a TBS. *inaudible mumbling*

I LOVED Alpha Centauri

Baten Kaitos for Gamecube. And I'd I'd agree with that Lost Kingdoms comment. Tragic, really, as it's a pretty good game.

The Baten Kaitos gameplay is great and the story is awesome. I never thought that the main character is the villain. What a shock

Nice spoilers there LOL, but yeah, this game needs more props for the trippy.
