Obscure Games You Have Played

Just thought of a fun game I used to play as a young'n, thought I'd drop a place to talk about Monster Tale, probably my favorite game of all time that no one has ever heard of.

The game combines Metroidvania, Pet Sim and Pokemon style genres to create a really cool experience that used the DS dual screens quite effectively.
Main gimmick of the game was that the top screen was used for overworld exploration / combat, and the bottom screen was a remote portal location where your monster pet chilled out and stored it's items. You could also freely switch your pet from one location to the other, with it being able to use offensive and defensive skills by using some of it's mana.


There were also a few fights that incorporated both screens into the fight, usually having your pet monster hitting part of the enemy in the bottom side while you'd physically fight it out with the top side.

It also had a pretty expansive evolution tree, with your pet monster turning from a child, to a teenager and finally an adult as you progressed through the game, with each stage having 10 different forms that unlocked unique skills.


The game got a ton of good reviews from game journalists, but ultimately didn't really reach a wide audience with the game only being released within the United States. It's also one of the very few games of the time that had a non sexualised female lead, supposedly a controversial decision for the publishers.


That's my blurb, wanted to talk about a game that I had a ton of fun playing and replaying, would highly suggest people try it out.

Now I'd love to hear other games that are generally unknown to the public!

pretty much every game i make on scratch

I played a game called "Pajama Sam" when I was little, it was pretty cool

Tell us more about this game!

It's like a puzzle adventure game where you get lost in a forest and have to find your stuff that got stolen.

Thanks for the link!

Single reason I know it is because I keep finding this FUCKING VIDEO where EazySpeezy speedruns (probably) the first game.

Unfold the Word, it *was a puzzle game but was taken out of Apple Store..

Hexceed, it is like Minesweeper but without guessing

I remember having an El Chavo Mario Party-esque game on my Wii. It was strange, to say the least.

Any images of the logo? I might know the game!

Y'know what, I should also share some obscure game I play

DreamWorks Superstar Kartz (PS3 edition)

I love racing games, especially ones with drift mechani. This one has it. If you played the PS3 version of the game you probably seen me on the leaderbaords.
I even found a few glitches on the game, and a technique called Rampdrifting! I have videos on YouTube about it.

I've been playing 'Fire 'N Ice' on the NES lately. Gotta say, it's a super polished NES puzzle game that feels ahead of its time, and alot of puzzles are pretty cleverly designed as well. I haven't finished it yet (currently in world 7 - 9) but I definitely reccomend it if you have NSO or another emulator

I have a physical copy of the game and an actual nes and I agree, it's very hard!

pretty fun game tbh

If you have nothing useful to post, don't post anything. This is the reason why people keep facepalming you.

Okay and I don't care if people facepalm me
