Looks like we made it :D
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:
Thanks for sending your suggestions - If there's commonality we can usually merge them - especially if they can be linked by a parent/umbrella thread.
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...

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 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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

I was wondering if anybody knew of some games on the stranger side of the older console gens, and if you do, please share i absolutely love stuff like this!! Some personal favorites of mine are baroque for the ps1/Saturn, LSD dream emulator, and Galerians.

Recommend some games that are obscure but very good.

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...

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...

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.

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...

I hate having fun. Recommend me obscure Japanese exclusives Kusoges(that have not been patched to English) that no one knows about so i force myself to suffer make a review about it (pic unrelated, kinda)

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...

Sometimes, I stumble upon an obscure game that leaves a lasting impression, feeling like a rare find. Many fan-translated games have this unique charm. Which game stands out like this for you?

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...

NES to PS2 era preferred, but would be willing to try newer games if they pique my interest enough. Both traditional turn-based RPGs and strategy RPGS (a la Shining Force, Fire Emblem, etc) are welcome. Bonus points for any game with gripping, well written characters, as the character writing is...

I have a lot of love for obscure, under the radar 90s games. Looking for other people that also love these. If you do, have you gone through any of these? If so, please give your thoughts. Xmas Lemmings '91(Good Puzzle game, Amiga) Dark Seed (Good, atmospheric Geiger inspired Horror game...

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...

I couldn't find a better place for this, so if there is somewhere I overlooked forgive me. Do we have any tabletop fans here? TTRPG's, board games, card games, etc. It's honestly always been my favorite way of gaming. For me personally... been playing board games my whole life, MTG for well...

I'm a huge fan of tabletop RPGs, stuff like Dungeons and Dragons and Shadowrun and what have you, and I'm curious if anyone else has some things to share about them. Your favourite systems, books, art, whatever can fit in here. I've been playing them for honestly probably since I was about 8...

It doesn't need to be related to videogame OST, but that's a plus if you're able to identify any! I'll start with these: Hospital Theme (Earthbound OST) vs. Pé de Breque (Criolo) And the famous one Aquatic Ambience (DKC) vs. Eco Zones (Blank Banshee) vs. Warmpop (ESPRIT, George Clanton)

What covers/remixes do you think are better than the original? What covers do you hate because they butchered the original? Which ones do you find an interesting homage? Which ones are just great fun? Thought of this because came across feuerschwanz cover of Dragostea din tei. Of course, no...

I often see people calling something a plagia simply because it follows a very similar chord progression (not the full melody) and when something is remixed a lot when does it becomes its own thing? Remember how many songs used samples (from other songs) to the point it became original. And...

Which Smash game did you think had the best remixes of other game’s music

I listen to A.I covers quite a bit. When the voice of the character fits the song really well, it can almost sound better than the original. Or if the voice is just comically out of place, it makes it so bad that it becomes good. I found that Vegeta's voice fits 'screamo' really well: It hits...

There's a lot out there, I could probably post so many examples. But I was listening to the first Touhou OST, and there was a snippet in "Now Die for the Debts you have Accumulated" that reminded me of N's theme from Pokemon BW. Apparently, it's a coincidence lol.

Hey people, before I discovered this song and I think it is very cool but I feel like this song sounds like a soundtrack from a video game from 80s or 90s and I find it hard to come up with what it is though hahaaaaa and it's driving me nuts so please you kind people help me can you tell? thank...

Post a song that was originally in Japanese (be it normal album music or game or anime music- the sort) that got a really good English cover. I shall start! I don't like Re:Zero other than in premise alone, but this song makes me wish I did.

Threads merged into parent thread, renamed to include Covers, Remixes, Samples & Mashups, all in one place.
One thread, "when-does-plagiarism-start", has been left separate, as even though there is similar scope and overlap, I think the philosophy/goal of the discussion is distinct enough to be its own thing (until we find more "What is plagarism?" style threads!)
By my calculation, that lands you a
mahoosive 37 points, and sees you attain the Duplice Hunters badge for your profile!
Your badge will be visible shortly, and the additional points you have amassed will be saved and converted into stars towards further awards.
Thank you thumbsdown for your suggestions! I look forward to merging more of your suggestions soon, but for now I'm going to take a break. :D
