No one's said it yet but G.O.D. on the Super Famicom

It's an Earthbound clone that's very satisfying to play and is absolutely filled with its own quirks

wow.. I vaguely remember coming across that game about 15~20 years ago, giggling at the name, lamenting the lack of a translation, and then moving on & never thinking of it again...
An all-too-common story for me back then, unfortunately...
I'm just glad that nowadays there's a lot more people working to make these translations a reality..

I'd rather be playing God than playing G.O.D.

Juggernaut for ps1, great myst style game.

I have yet to see anyone talk about Half Minute Hero: The Second Coming (or Yuusha 30 second, if you played the psp fan translation). The first game got a little bit attention I think, but the sequel was so much fun.

One of my favs as a kid growing up was the Ninja Gaiden Arcade Game, which was much different then the console version of the original games. My brothers and I would spend so much money trying to beat this game coop and eventually started working on doing it on 2 quarters LOL!! I still think about this game from time to time as a adult. I know it doesn't look like much, but back then this game was mindblowing for us until the Turbo Grafix 16 hit us with Bonk and the OG Street Fighter.

A Laundromat from my childhood had an arcade room, an early one of which was eventually rotated out. I spent decades looking for it again, erroneously thinking it was a Neo-Geo game. It wasn't until a random YouTube video had a list that contained 'Capcom Classics Collection vol 2' did I finally find it and get to play it again:

'Three Wonders'

I really only played the first two games..
"Midnight Wanderers" was effectively a faster-paced 'Ghost & Goblins' clone.
"Chariot" was a unique Shm'up..
Both are excellent in my humble opinion... AND I'm willing to bet that YOU have never played them before either!!

Played them on Capcom classics (PS2)

A game I forgot was 64th street a detective story

A World of Games: Cosmo Gang – DownStab

downstab.com

I spent 15 years fruitlessly searching the internet for the name of this thig then a Japanese streamer called SuperSiSi just dropped it at random on Twitter. I was so blown away I donated to her KoFi.

 

[FillerBunnyNinjashark]

And then hating Americans!!! lol

All roads lead to Rome, all discussions lead to America!!! lolol

More like hating the French

 

[PhaseJump]

Hate Canada. It's English, French, and American enough to deserve any pissy pants loser angst Europe can throw at it.

Mine's gotta be Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure (2004)

Really tight, 3D-platformer-kids-game with some light RPG item progression and (this is a stretch but you'd agree) Sonic inspired combat. Rhythm elements in the PC and 3DS ports (PSP was lacking for whatever reason...) Somewhat endearing characters, as cheesy and archetypal they may be. Overall a really nice kicking-back-on-a-friday kinda game that still makes you think at some portions and is engaging! Really good!

(Same devs as Trials in the Sky, the Ys games, and The Legend of Heroes)

One obscure gem I love is Terranigma on SNES: amazing story, world-building and soundtrack. Totally underrated

I don't know if I'd call it an Earthbound clone, it might start that way, but gets even more crazy to me after the beginning. And there's a lot more emotional scenes then in Earthbound. I heard Mother 3 gets emotional but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

If you really intend to play it (Which i reccomend totally, is Terranigma tiers of underrated) you need the Easy patch, it halves the encounter rate while duplicating rewards

 

[Doomsday519]

Contender 2 for the Playstation. Cover is nondescript but the cast of characters and game itself is ridiculous. Apparently it has absolutely nothing to do with the first game either which I have not played.

 

[BjornSmallpeen]

A lot of people might point to Metroid or Zelda or something that became extremely popular and grew into itself in the next generation as the best games, but in a lot of cases I don't think that's really so. The best ones are weird random things that don't have a lasting legacy (in terms of a growing franchise) but were unexpectly gems.

Master Blaster and Crystallis are probably my favorites.

I know that very little will be obscure to the type of people that use a forum like this but you can imagine what I mean.

Kickle Cubicle
Willow
The Battle of Olympus
Super Dodge Ball

Yeah I personally don't think of Blaster Master as obscure but I guess could be considered subjective.

I love Jackal!
