I don't know if Wonder Boy in Monster World is obscure, but I found it fun. Then again, it's almost unbeatable since the last few screens decide to make up for the lack of difficulty in the rest of the game and the last boss is impossible, even though I remember beating it with an emulator.
Isn't that the one where you have to beat the bosses at Paper-Rock-Scissors and the entire game is about as challenging as CandyLand except for the obviously cheating final guy?
Was B.O.B. good?
Mediocre platform shooter if I remember.
I also remember an Arabian Nights-themed action-RPG called Exile.
Was a port from PC Engine anyway, I think.
And a game about some fantasy girl and her four types of pet baby dragon.
Alisia Dragoon, probably. Never played it.
And a game about a robot that shot rocks out of his head.
Hurrrgh, I know which one you're talking about but I don't remember the name. Probably because I'm getting it crossed with Chuck Rock (about a caveman who Chucks Rocks) and Decapitation (about a robot mummy that shoots his head).
Of all these, Sub-Terrania is probably the
most obscure, despite being well-polished and original. This is probably because it was also difficult to grasp the nuances of and
fucking hard.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70XQsiTOK4IBasically, it's Lunar Lander with shit trying to kill you. A lot. People with no dignity may recognize it as the inspiration for one of the games on Neopets, although that was like 5 years ago and I have no idea what the hell they have now.
