(+) Yeah! (+)

It was this game called Defcon 5 . You were alone on space station and you had to defend from all this this stuff. And they did a good job of making you feel alone. You know some games are empty or bearing. But this one made you feel alone. I don't know how they did that with PSX early graphics .

I want to say it was called The Blue and the Gray but I'm not finding it.

It was a shareware game between maybe 1993 and 1996. \

Game started out either as the north or south and you chose your cabinet. With Lincoln it was possible to get like West Virginia immediately, Kentucky, Tennessee, maybe Missouri. Deep south always seceded but you might get a couple of states to stay if you appoint someone from there in a good position or don't react too aggressively with Ft. Sumter.

Up until Diablo 2 it was probably my most played game. It was a DOS game, had to c: that shit.

this weird n64 game called mario 64

Jersey Devil

Dark Wizard for the Sega CD
It's a hex based strategy game/rpg with a ton of hidden shit to find

---

Culdcept Saga
It was basically monopoly with fantasy creatures and a card collecting aspect.

---

Wizardry 8

---

Jet Moto, but it's not that obscure

---

Commandeer Keen or Monster Bash.

Neither will be overly obscure here but 4 sure among my real life peers.

Sheep, Dog n' Wolf, aka Sheep Raider

---

Elemental Gimmick Gear on Dreamcast.

Sorta Zelda clone, but with mecha.

---

Top Shop

Freedom Fighters

Such an awesome concept that played out especially fun in the multiplayer mode. I wish someone would do something like it again. Or better yet that theyd remake FF.

High Seas Trader

Wargames: Defcon 1 for the PS1.

A vehicle war game with a variety of units, and a surprisingly good soundtrack.

This was a cool game. There is a sequel that came out not too long ago on Switch and PS4. I haven't played the sequel yet but it looks like it is worth checking out.

That sounds familiar

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

A rogue-like zombie apocalypse game with a TON of cool simulation as well as means of improving your situation, skills, and equipment. One of the best traditional rogue-likes ever made and still being community developed.

Caves of Qud

Similar, a rogue-like set on a bizaree world filled with dungeon crawling, mutations, cyborg implants, and telepathic powers.

Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation

An awesome Gundam-style tactical rpg utilizing the original robots and characters created for Bandai's Super Robot Wars franchise. The game is weird and unapologetic, has awesome mechs and customization for a GBA game, and a direct sequel that's just as good. It's one of the few games in the series that got a NA release (for good reason, honestly).

Its a fantastic game.

Evil Zone

I assume it died with flash, but Galaxy Online 2. Typical gacha bullshit, and the neverlose mmo basis, but once you accepted that, it had an incredibly robust ship design and fleet combat system. Both pvp and pve.

Which reminds me of another. Space: glory through conquest. Not quite as deep ship building, but it was an actual game, with winners and losers, played out over a couple months. It died a long time ago, as the player base dropped out and weren't replaced. A fan group brought it back a couple years ago as squadron of light, but they rebuilt it from scratch and missed or cut a lot of the original content.

The Neverhood hands down.

might be a typical point and click adventure but the claymation visuals blew me away!

edit: On second thought, Arc the Lad may not be that obscure. Adventures of Darwin, however...

D2 on the Dreamcast. Still my favorite game of all time.

Bloody Roar
Brutal: Paws of Fury

The Showdown Effect. Awesome game, but ruined by both the devs abandoning the game and the multiplayer only bit.

Wade Hixton's Counter Punch on GBA. If you ever wanted a Punch-Out for the handheld, play that.
