Most of these could co-exist, but I'm sending them since the NES recommendation thread was merged with the retro games recs thread even if the purpose was slightly different:

Which gaming magazines did you read?

Before I was the internet-addicted monkey-man I am today, my key source of gaming culture and news was the diverse range of magazines my parents would occasionally buy for me. I never subscribed to these mags – they were typically purchased from airport bookstores or the local pharmacy in my...

Any gaming magazines worth subscribing to these days?

I miss printed news media, been thinking about it a lot lately. The last magazine I subscribed to was Vita Mag, it was a lovely independent publication that - as the name implied - just centered around the little handheld that could. Prior to that I was subscribed to Game Informer and I'd pick...

Guide books, magazines, and "mooks" thread

Guide books and magazines were such a treat back in the day. These days "mooks" (magazine book - a magazine that's as thick as a book) have helped to fill some of the void, but overall this is still something from a bygone era, and it's sad that a lot of people into the hobby these days don't...

PS3 - Obscure PS3 games

Do you know of an obscure, under the radar or generally rarely talked about PS3 game? Post it here for others to enjoy! For a good start, Rain's a game I barely hear anyone talk about nowadays.

obscure fighting game favs

If you've been active on fightcade you might have come across a game that you love, but there's maybe 2 people in there if you're lucky and none of them are active. For me this is mostly toy fighter, since I've been able to get a couple games in my other favs, but toy fighter I have to actively...

Extremely Weird And Obscure Games

The kinds of games you can find on the deeper parts of the clear net are some of the most interesting and compelling experiences you can have with a piece of media today. It's a well-established hobby at this point, with tons of insufferable Youtube top tens and iceberg narrations having touched...

What are some obscure but groundbreaking and innovative games that deserve way more recognition?

I think a lot of the most groundbreaking and innovative games are ones that get largely overlooked and become obscure. I' Robot and the Star Cruiser series immediately come to mind. I'robot came out in 1983/84 and had fully shaded 3D polygon graphics, and camera controls as well as really...

What are the most underrated and unknown platformers?

2D or 3D. What are some of your most underrated platformers that STILL haven’t gotten the attention they deserve, even in this YouTuber ridden era where tons of games are dredged up to be given a wider audience? For me, it varies depending on what I know. But it would probably be Blinx 2...

Favorite obscure arcade games?

There's this game called Dead Heat by Bandai Namco that I played at an amusement park one time. (the cabinet in the arcade section of the park was old and decrepit, the NOS button didn't work, and the steering wheel broke off while I was playing.) It had this neat little feature where the game...

Obscure Nintendo games

As title says, I'm interested in seeing some very odd and less known Nintendo developed/published games that are not part of their respective IPs. As an example, there's StarTropics which is their alternate take on Zelda but on an distant island with some platformer elements.

looking for an obscure Super Famicom RPG

I watched a Youtube video recently with a name that was something like "this SNES RPG wants to mess with your mind". It was Super Famicom RPG that was only recently translated which was non-fantasy, possibly urban setting, the person reviewing it said it was excellent and worth playing...

PS1 Obscure Games List

Hello, everyone. I wanted to compile a list of obscure PS1 games, since the same games are always mentioned, but many titles that deserve recognition are completely ignored. I'll start with a short list: Volfoss Kamaitachi No Yoru Tokubetsu-Hen Rally Cross and Rally Cross 2 Sound Novel...

I love it when I discover obscure hidden gems like this...

Among the many cute as hell games with gorgeous pixel-art that remained in Japan and sadly hasn't got a fan translation is "Milano no Arubaito" (aka Milano's Odd Jobs), which I discovered via one of those "obscure Japanese games"-youtube videos. It is one of those games that make me realize that...

Looking for Obscure RPGs

NES to PS2 era preferred, but would be willing to try newer games if they pique my interest enough.

Your Favourite Obscure Franchise?

I wanna hear which obscure franchise is your favourite one. For reference, it doesn't have to be the most obscure, hell, it only really has to be obscure in your region or social circles, but it does have to feature at least 2 games, ideally more, for it to be a franchise. For my money it's...
