Not really obscure, but rarely anyone ever talks about it.

Fuck I was playing this when I was like 10. How am I not a major industry player?
>>3609804
Also one of many from my childhood.
>>3609639
That game where you play as a gay elf. It was surprisingly good and pretty addictive.

I had this one too.

>>3609639
Death Gate
>>3609804
not really obscure
Been trying to remember the name of one I used to like.
It was very similar to this picture, but you had a capsule-shaped home base and had to aim missiles at the enemy base (I think while compensating for wind). You could also build those tanks every certain amount of turns and they would travel to the enemy to attack for for a limited time.
>>3609762
I never finished this as a kid. Tough game. It was ages before I discovered you could fire, too.
>>3609639
Renegade Legion from SSI / FASA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL5dhKpNwD8
Also Round 42
I think even the AVGN played Round 42 when he was a kid. It's in one of his videos.
>>3609639
Not that obscure but this game was a lot of fun back in the day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrxutquiKoo
>>3609995
If I am right, the music for it was called "popcorn." I never got that out of my head. It plagues me to this day. lol
Flying Tigers I & II
Fun games while they last. 2 player mode a big plus
https://youtu.be/xG0S2LSxy1Y
Alien Incident, one of the few adventure games from Finland
Stone Age, still my favorite puzzle game ever. The music's great, too!
I wonder if Crime Fighter counts as obscure but I had fun times with it when I was younger.
>>3609874
I don't care too much for the lengthy fantasy novels of my youth but I absolutely loved that game. Maybe Weiss & Hickman's material could've done better adventure games than novels?

A very obscure Taiwanese shmup that is awesome. Check out the website for more information on it and the resurrection project.

>>3612790
speaking of shmups, there's this korean game I used to play a lot. also because it's a little on the easy side.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAoAh1LI2RM
>>3609656
That's not obscure though. Ugh! is quite popular and well praised.
Speaking of Caveman games ..
I never hear anybody talk about Fury3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_8tSpXLuK8
It's the brother of Terminal Velocity... which I also never hear anybody else talk about.
>>3609820
Came here to post this. The phantom was the dopest character I'd ever seen at the time. It's just a shame they kinda sucked in battle when they weren't assassinating frail casters.
>>3614090
Terminal Velocity is a great game.

I had some fun with this low budget Ultima clone BITD.
I think it's freeware now, not sure if it's as good as my rosy retrospective distorts it.
>>3610046
I remember playing this with my cousins.
I also liked Liero a lot, but I don't know how obscure that really is.
>>3614576
>>3614576
oh eff, that was the wrong image.
While probably not obscure, this is the first computer game that I ever played. Good childhood memories were had with this one.
>>3614581
The for some reason, infamous Abidah Sevenleaf. Here I thought you were just a myth. A folktale that shitposters whispered amongst each other.
I don't see why you get the hate, though. As a fellow /vr/-visiter I wish you the best.

Holy shit I remember this. It was so creepily violent. I kind of miss how I could go to a pharmacy and find a rack of weird $5 shareware games.
>>3609794
Oh my god I loved this game as a kid. I had it on some '50 games on a CD' thing. It would always crash, but never at the same part. So sometimes I would get really far, other times not so much. Thanks for this.
>>3614090
shit anon, I still have the CD for that game somewhere
it was pretty fun for its time
>>3609820
That looks amazing.
>>3612773
Is this the one that has some terrible plot written by some female writer hardcoregaming101 actually criticised instead of praising an amazing jewel amongst all the dirt of men?

Mein Neger
>>3610085
Man, we used to play this a lot with my brothers. Fun times.
probably a long shot here but anyways:
If anyone knows the names of this game, it came on a shareware CD for windows 98 (possibly 95 but not likely)
The first is some kind of indiana jonesish themed game where you go into caves and boulders can kill you and there are traps you can set off and snakes n shit. You can also make custom maps and play them.
I will contribute with Tower of The Ancients. Used to play this game a fuckton and even my dad liked playing it sometimes.

All the old Apogee platformers. Even stuff like Cosmo's Quest and Monster Bash.
>>3615031
Apogee games aren't obscure at all though. Everybody who had a PC in the 90s played them.
>>3614070
>https://www.youtube.com/v/gvNNKpZ8q6g
not obscure though
neato opinion anon... but maybe for you it's not obscure. around here nobody has heard of this one
next time present your opinions less as fact
>>3615032
dem shareware man
>>3615031
I love apogee games. Still play them in Dosbox.
>>3614837
I remember playing this on dos at one point and I think it was a shareware demo ;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNEgrJ9wejo
For me there's oxyd. I also remember some game that looked kinda 3d and started with "Del" I think. There was also this pool or billiards game with interesting or tough/scary opponents.
Syndicate.
Not very obscure but I've never seen much discussion. Anyone touch the modern abomination?
>>3613301
Thanks
>>3609820
I ripped a bunch of art from that game, and I've been carrying it with me on harddrives since. I don't know why I keep the art around.
Jesus Christ, I've been carrying around this art since 1993.
>>3609667
dang that was an awesome game
>>3609820
There are a lot of posts on this game. What type of game is this can someone who's played it explain. It looks like my type of game.
>>3616135
It's somewhere between chess and warhammer.
>>3609640
oh sweet baby jesus i have been looking for this game for ages. i've posted it in game search threads across the internet. thank you anon.
>>3614607
>I don't see why you get the hate
Everyone has this idea that I'm an "SJW" when all I wanna do is talk about video games.
Love this game with all my heart

Idk sorry.
I wonder if someone can help me find a LOST dos game
It was a learning game, perhaps set in a Roman era. it revolved around a small town or school, and it was mid-screen isometric in appearence, it involved mostly walking around collect items and talking to people, normal stuff. I think there was a lot of yellow involved visually, but not limited to few colour palette, it had many ranges and detailed
any clues?
>>3609672
the sequel "phobia 2" used to scare the fuck out of me when i was a kid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWGAd1dAPwQ
too bad he doesn't let the loading theme play out a bit more, but even the title screen is fucking unnerving. all black, with just a light shining on the alien, and then you are quickly thrown into a horde of aliens until you die

>>3609641
sango fighters, nice
probably not that obscure, but fuck it I loved this game.
why did dos have a lack of platformers
>>3618248
Because developers couldn't into scrolling.
>>3615075
Umm, no. Not an opinion at all. This game is fairly popular on DOS community. Here at /vr/ it's often mentioned whenever a DOS platformers thread is created and sometimes it appears on DOS generals.
It might happen to you to want your special game to maintain its special snowflake status, but next time try not to get visibly buthurt at such a trivial post.

Those are pretty cool actually. I would save them if I were the type who saves images from the Internet.

i don't get the hate this game has, it was a pretty solid 1vs1 fighting game for being made by two college students, the same ones who made Executioners when they were 16 years old.

Bloodlust Software is a developer of humorous PC computer games. It was originally formed in 1992 by two high school students (Ethan Petty and Icer Addis) who were angry at the rise of movements against computer game violence. To parody the situation, Bloodlust ended up making excessively violent games.

Not DOS but somewhat obscure. Grezzo 2 is an Italian total conversion megawad, developed by Nicola Piro, a member of the metal rockband "Karashow" and released in 2012. It's commonly known because of its blasphemous and offensive content.

That is very similar to what I remember, but I don't think that's it, I remember a greater variety of enemies and less actual platforming. Were there any other games like that?

Spellcross: The Last Battle
Is a turn-based DOS strategy game for the PC, developed by a slovak company Cauldron HQ and published by SCi in 1997/1998. For a variety of reasons (notably, a relatively nonexistent marketing budget and the emergence of games dominated by the demands of 3D-graphics cards), unfortunately for its designers, the game had little mass appeal, sold poorly, and has remained obscure.

>>3614815
The plot is fairly standard and inconsequential, and the game is pretty fun and nifty in my opinion and has some unique visuals. From what I remember the chick who made it also made a godawful 90s-era weeaboo webcomic and had also planned to make a game based off of it that never happened.
Regardless, it's one of my favorite DOS games.
