I saw this going viral a bit the other day but didn't see the point in trying to narrow down a list from my entire gaming history, so I'm going obscure-ish NES titles instead

Rampage and TMNT are absolute classics!
And I'm not sure that Paperboy, Marble Madness or Bucky O'Hare are so obscure either (though I reckon that the glasses would have to be rose-tinted to the point of complete opacity, in Paperboy's case)

I have loved all types of TMNTs! (maybe a bit disliked TMNT 1 a bit only).
There were some weird things in TMNT 4 tournament: If you play the game too much continuously, some special moves became bugged, like Leonardo's revolving kick would finish 2 laps in the entire ground instead of just like 1/3 of it. Donatello would be able to beat Raphael's flying while ascending, but not while descending or swifting in his special move. Raphael himself was objectively too stronger compared to other turtles, like a simple flying kick from him would crack the walls in the first hit, and rarely one character might go completely invisible.

TMNT 3 was my favourite, but I could not pass the spiked turtle shield boss on a skyscraper, I still sort of remember it xD

and omg GTA Vice City! Drone task was awful for beginners, and there were all kinds of myths about collecting all 100 secret packages, and 80 % of the time we were just cheating and bazookaing tanks rather than playing the game While there were some weird boring parts and looked worse than GTA 3 Liberty City, there were weird details, like honking horn to a girl and he would restore your health in your car. There were also some mods that you could swim in water.

Man there were a lot of NES games. I've never even heard of Mendel Palace, A Boy and His Blob, Bucky o' Hare, and Kickle Cubicle.

I also loved Legend of Kage, some Road Fighter like but with guns and stuff, a bottom up game. I still remember some cheat codes of them till today. Some games gave me bad feeling, like never able to collect enough money for Adam's Family to pass the next stage, Adventure Island or such and such.

Anyway, just let me remind you one of the most loved soundtracks for a NES game (with a gameplay). Me and my older sister were recording soundtracks to tape even, we liked these that much.

They aren't in the grand scheme of things probably, neither Rampage. Most were popular in the arcades at least. I'd maybe argue that Bucky O"hare was probably more obscure than something like Battletoads of Double Dragon, but I digress.

For TMNT I picked that game because it was so notoriously difficult and definitely lesser known than the arcade beat 'em ups.

Yeah the library is absurd, just go back through emulation to see and it becomes even more crazy if you include Japanese games as well. Someone could come in and try to do the same thing as I did and there would be many games I've never heard of either lol.

Mendel Palace and Kickle Cubicle were grid-based puzzle games not unlike Bomberman or Adventures of Lolo. Basically about trapping enemies etc.

Bucky O'Hare was a platformer shoot'em up similar to Megaman in that you could tackle stages in whatever order you wanted and you got different crew members to play the game with after clearing each stage, like you have different suits to use with Megaman. There was also a side-scrolling beat'em up that Konami made but I only remember seeing it in arcades.

A Boy and His Blob is definitely the weirdest titles of this group. Basically it was a Metroidvania-style game where a kid feeds different candies to a blob to change it's powers and solve puzzles.

Speaking of NES games anyone remember Skate or Die.

That was a classic.





I remember the art on the NES TMNT cartridge but I don't remember ever playing the game.

The SNES version of TMNT I remember, for being good.

Going back to the topic of TES modding - how come I only now found out that Daggerfall now has an MMO mod?!

Bet it's wonderfully broken and janky!

Did anyone enjoy the mechwarrior / mech commander series of tabletop adaptations.

While i would love to play one, i never did tbh. The most i played were very recent arcade mobile games where you just jump or go in main directions and shoot something. Probably warrobots or such. I normally like vehicle modification games, NFS Underground, Flat Out, etc. So i would love something like this as well.

idk

A bit, but I mostly know that series from the books. Michael A. Stackpole wrote a whole series of those which I really enjoyed.

The mechwarrior video games were pretty cool too
