3xtreme
You race other bikers/rollerbladers/skateboarders/aliens and can punch them mid race.
That game (and its predecessor 2xtreme) were not nearly as fun as the premise sounds on paper, but I loved every second of them.
I don’t even want to guess how much my parents spent on rental fees for those two titles alone. It had to have been cheaper to just buy them.
Future Cop LAPD
Hell yeah I have a fond memory of this one too
Oh, and G-Police
Neither are obscure, but I played the shit out of Ace Combat Shattered Skies and Simpsons Hit and Run…
Playing as Mobius One felt incredible when enemy comma started referring to you as the Grim Reaper and whatnot.
What a game.
You’re not going to believe this Jean-Louis! All of them have ribbon insignias!
Dude simpsons hit and run is a banger. I use to get that game from the video club store and play it for hours. Tbh all kid’s movies and tv series on games were bangers, Kung fu panda, toy story, rattatouille etc
Ace Combat 4 was one of the most legit games of all time.
Of the holy trilogy, I still like AC4 more because of the anime picture cut scenes.
I feel like the anime styled cut scenes delivered a more nuanced story than the other games. The story is told through the eyes of a boy who lost his family to war. Your silent protagonist slowly achieves fame. By the end, it’s revealed that his story is a letter to you, the pilot. There’s more plot, so any retro gamers reading this, it’s super recommended for story and music. I love the gameplay, but obscure childhood game symptom.
N64, but I was obsessed with the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics game. Picked it up recently. It is definitely shovelware.
I was obsessed with bobsledding as a kid and played so much of this game. I think my parents still have the n64 in their basement, I should see if it works.
My friend and I duct taped skateboards together and pretended to luge down this dinky hill in our neighborhood because of this game.
Only now 28 years later did I learn how to actually land the aerial freestyle jump.
Is Project Snowblind obscure? Because I could do Jet Li’s Rise to Honor instead.
I still play Rise to Honor from time to time. But meow that I don’t have the disc, I have to emulate and there’s a weird issue that stops progression.
That top down hot wheels racing game was the shit
For me it was Kya: Dark Lineage. I think it wasnt a major hit when it came out but I use to love it and I thought no game came close
Enteral Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (GameCube)
Seek and Destroy for ps2
OMG the cute tank RPG right?
Or a middle aged dude and the Commodore/Amiga games he played as a kid 😁
Rock Star Ate My Hamster will always be precious to me ❤️
Stranglehold and Red Dead Revolver.
Red Dead Revolver
Red Dead Redemption ancestor? 😁
Not sure if you’re joking, but the game legit is the first game in the red dead series and is made by rockstar. It’s wildly different than the redemption games though.
Legaia 2 and Dark Cloud 2…
Sega.
Atomic Robo Kid. A fucking fever dream game I bought for $3 at a swap meet and still must conquer before I die.
For me it was ps1, but Threads of Fate
N64: Snowboard Kids
I had a mad crush on Linda
