I caught the dragon.
[QUOTE=Jawalt;16105931]Is it really that good? I always just discarded it with a 'meh'[/QUOTE]
It's really underrated, really good gameplay I think.
R.A.D. Robot Alchemic Drive. I'm not sure if it really qualifies as a "never heard of" game. It's more like an "impossible to find" game. The controls were awesome: You swung your robot's fists with the analogue sticks.

Dungeon party, its a free dungeon roaming-treasure collecting game with totally retarded outfits ( a sad clown with a huge Telephone on his back? ) but also very clumsy controls which spoil the fun a bit
Eric The Unready.
I LOVE THIS GAME

description from abandonia.com
Eric the Unready is one of those games that you will remember for life. Once you have played the game, it becomes a part of you. You will never be able to look at anything the same way again. The game begins like any other adventure game set in the medieval era in Britain - beautiful green hills surrounding a small village with a fairytale castle on the highest point. But this is the first, last and ONLY time this game will ever look and feel like an ordinary adventure game.
Eric the Unready brings new life to the Adventure genre - in fact I would go so far as to say that it creates a whole new branch of this genre. It uses well-known effects from other adventure games, chews them up and spits them out in a completely new way. If you don’t understand what I mean, try summoning Pegasus later in the game, and see what pops up. Let’s just say you’re in for a surprise.
The game itself is about a valiant knight fighting for justice and glory at a time when heroes are few. And, looking at your own merits, it seems it will continue to stay that way for quite some time. Basically you are the worst knight ever to walk on British soil. Only one person in the whole kingdom believes in you, the princess Lorealle the Worthy. It might not come as a big surprise that a bit later in the game she gets kidnapped, and that it is up to you to rescue the fair maiden. The surprises in the game come when you discover how you are supposed to solve the different quests throughout the game. Let me give you another example. Your first quest involves an (it is assumed) enchanted farmer's daughter, a love-sick piggy, an adventure inside an outdoor toilet and rampaging cows! Sounds interesting? It is. And every detail will be described in tomorrow’s newspaper. The newspaper will accompany you throughout the game. Even in the deepest dungeons or the farthest reaches of the kingdom there will always be a newspaper waiting for you.
The controls in the game might seem a bit difficult at first, but don’t be fooled. The game system is extremely easy to use. All the most common commands are listed in the left column, and you can either use your mouse to make sentences or simply write them with the keyboard. You can use either your keyboard or your mouse for any action in this game. Walking is done by either clicking on the compass, or writing directions in the command line. One nice little feature about the game is that it all takes place in real-time. Leave the game alone, and time will pass. If you want to sit tight at any time in the game, simply write 'WAIT' in the command line.
When it comes to the graphics and music, Eric scores high points. The video graphics (like the intro) are astonishingly well-made and rival those of Sierra. The game interface is distinctive, having all the details described in a window below a scene picture. Together with the command bar they make for an excellent adventure feel. The music can only be described as fantastic. It enhances the feel of the game in a way I can not even describe.
If I were to minimize the review into a few sentences only, I would say that this game will surprise you on all levels. The humour is delicate yet sharp as a knife. It is an adventure with attitude!
Hunt. Advent (aka Adventure, aka Yendor). Battlestar. Hack. Phantasia. Robots. Wumpus.
All played on an 80x25, vt220 terminal. No graphics beyond ASCII art.
Hunt and Phantasia have multiplayer.
I used to play them often on my uber-POS craptop.
Also, Lufia, on the SNES. That game kicked Final Fantasy's ass.
Metal Heart: Replicant's Rampage.
Inspired by Fallout 1&2, yet having such little of the brilliance, and nothing to keep one playing more than a few hours.

I have that game, it is awesome.
Heroes of Newerth, it's still in beta, it's basically DotA, but much awesome.
[QUOTE=LazyBoy;16084391]Tzar: Burden of the Crown (played the demo for years LOL)[/QUOTE]
I've got that, I loved it to bits :D
[QUOTE=xtermin8er;16081260]Anyone play Heroin Hero before?[/QUOTE]
that dragon....
YOU NEVER GET TO IT
*sobs*
Being serious though:
MAD , global thermonuclear warfare.
Nice RTSish game.
I actually love nuking africa after they "somehow" get a space station up.
A few mods I found on Moddb.com
Action Half Life 2
Bisonours Party
Stargate Legacy (multiplayer)
and the fucking annoying as hell but for definite 4chan-ers: Spragoon George's Slazenger
Space Griffon VF-9.
So Obscure that even Wikipedia doesn't have an entry on it!
Soldat.
Blade&Sword. It was pretty much a Diablo clone, but still incredibly fun.

Psychonauts.

Platformer for the PS2 and PC where you get a bunch of psychic-based powers like Levitation, and you go into people's minds. Good stuff.

Definitely.

It's free on GameTap

I thought that ended.
[QUOTE=MADmarine;16076147]Looking at some of the games on my shelf:
New World Order (Quite a fun FPS)
Sudden Strike 1,2,3 (WWII RTS)
Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader (Diablo II style RPG)
Cultures (similar to The Settlers, never managed to get the hang of it)
Three Kingdoms: Fate of the Dragon (AoE style RTS with lots of in depth options and cool castle sieges)
The Gladiators: Galactic Circus Games (Average at best RTS, think Warcraft III without resource management)
Myth 1,2,3 (Apart from the third, an absolutely amazing RTS series)
Rising Lands (Creative and cool RTS)
Counter Action (Tactical WWII RTS)
B.R.E.E.D. (Average at best alien shooter FPS)
Spartan (similar to the total war series but focuses more on the campaign map than battles)[/QUOTE]
I've played all of those, do I get a medal?
oh fuck three kingdoms was so awesome, I was trying to remember it's name

World of Warcraft. Due to lack of popularity and advertising, they were forced to merge servers. Theres like only 2 left, and it's hard to find any World PvP... Man more people should play this. It's based off the popular Warcraft series, which I'm sure everyone has heard of.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;16131636]How is that a huge image, its 600 by 445.[/QUOTE]Well, I quoted the guy right above me (Which was my first mistake), though I thought having the same image show up twice was even worse, so I just said, "Huge Image". =\
And another obscure game I just remembered. Pretty nice. It's called Lo Wang: Shadow Warrior. It's an old DOS game full of chinese stereotypes and sex jokes. I only remember going up to naked women, throwing sticky bombs onto them, hiding behind a corner, pressing the button, and finally watching the blood fly everywhere. Oh, and one weapon is your own heart that you tear out of your chest. Apparently squeezing it hard enough to make blood spray everywhere will create a clone of yourself

Pretty great
