The most obscure, obscure video games that almost no one has heard of except maybe you and two other people lol? Do share, and some detail.

Yes I would want one If I had a chance at one, If I get one I'll be sure to let you know. lol  ::)

There's many obscure I could talk about, if you have been reading "My 8-Bits" series you'll see my reviews and experiences with the ones I have owned. In fact I just reviewed the PC-50X series which is an obscure console.

But If I have to say what my favorite to play obscure console is that I happen to own?

Number one would have to be the Sammy Atomiswave Custom.
This was made to be a console for Arcade owners, They would place this console inside an arcade cabinet then they can buy new carts to change the game, kinda similar to Neo Geo MVS and Capcom's CPS2.

The original motherboard console isn't that hard to find, but a fully consoled version can be. From what I have found the system is extremely difficult to make into a console and when they are made they sell for well over $800. and that doesn't include the joystick or games. My system can use any Neo Geo controller but I picked up a full arcade stick to use with it. I had this playing at a party once and this system was being played non stop. I own seven games for it as of right now but I recently just ordered a new one. Biggest issue I have buying games for it is there's a lot of pirate carts out there.

"Happy game hunting!!!"

Has anyone heard of MorphX? Or The First Templar? Or The Cursed Crusade? Didn't think so, and these are kind of recent games. I like these oddball Russian developed games that come out of left field and no one gives a second glance at after they get rated 2 out of 10. They're actually not bad games. Does anyone know about the game Bound By Flame that's coming out soon? That's one I watching for. Did anyone play Knights Contract? That was a pretty good game, I thought.

Did anyone here play the first Obscure game for PS2? Aptly titled. How about Stretch Panic, Scaler, or Ruff Trigger? Ever heard of Circus Maximus? It's a game where you race chariots while you sword fight, it's not bad. Was I the only one who picked up Emily The Strange for DS, or Duke Nukem: Critical Mass after the commercial failure of Forever? Has anyone ever played Tai Fu for PS1? How about Ninja Crusaders on NES? That game is freakin awesome.

I could go on and on, because I love obscure games.

Speaking of Russian games, I love the Soviet Game & Watch ripoffs and bootlegs by Elektronika. It wasn't stealing because everything belongs to the public.  ;)

Cursed Crusade, sure! I own it, and I've seen it now and then in shops, but I sure had never heard about it before. I haven't gotten around to playing it, but it seems awesome.

Those cartridges look familiar, i'm getting the vibe i've seen it before. Like something you see then you forget it even existed.
