Slightly behind sapiens, Rise and Rule of Ancient Empires. I've never met anyone who played it.

I have this game.  ;)

Alright other then games I made (which would make it as obscure as possible)

I played this math educational game where you played a knight going through a dungeon solving math problems to give you attack boosts. You could even buy boosts to defeat the boss.

Though I am SURE I can think of something even more obscure without going into freeware or webgames or non-console or non-computer games.

Let me think... Stellar 7? Magic Pengel? Graffiti Kingdom? Estatica (I wish I could get the abandonware version working... I loved playing this when I was younger)
-I think my Father threw out all the non-cd games at a certain point. That certainly explains the many lost games... Such as Super Solvers (Goodness... lets say ALL OF THEM!) and several of his Leisure Suit Larry games. (Plus the original Incredible machine, one of the Lands of Lore games, Kings Quest 5-6, The horrible Robocop game, the horrible Lawmower man game, Simcity, Simcity2000, Ecoquest 2, Monkey Island 1 and 2)
--Though some of those may be CDs... since 7th guest was lost and it was a CD game

I got two CDs with at least a hundred between them... too bad it is lost. though most of the games were junk anyhow.

What about: "The Beast Within".

It really is one of the few gems of the Full Motion Video Adventure games. (Though I am SOO blunt to bad acting from watching Disney Channel that even Amazon Queen often seems Emmy Worthy)

Would that last one be by any chance "Vivisector: Beast Within"? Because I liked that game for what it was worth.

I dunno, maybe Loserball. If not that, then one of the shit games off "1001 great games for Windows" which contained Loserball, a few other good games, and 900+ shit games/demos/levels for Doom and such/things that didn't even work.

I've played... um, Microman. MICROOOMAAAN.... MAN... MAN...

Does that count as obscure? I dunno.

Ooh, and Hocus Pocus!

Got 'em off a Game Empire (250 Games!) shareware collection CD.

That's also where I was introduced to Castle of the Winds, which was one of my favourite games when I was six.

Sounds more like Gabriel Knight 2, which is not obscure by any means.

You know Microman had a sequel.

I think I played the first one.

Gabriel Knight 2 isn't obscure? But I thought no one played that game? I certainly never met anyone who knew what it was (To admit the only part that justifies this... would be its endgame puzzle... That thing is just malicious)

Ogre battle 64, and Space pirate (dead now, can't be found anymore and man I tried.)

I gotta say Ogre Battle 64 really pissed me off when my game broke, then I found an online ROM for it, man I'm happy now!

Mordor aka Mordor II aka Demise
It's a psudeo(dragon?) 3D dungeon crawler with an online multiplayer mode.

Rise and Rule of Ancient Empires was one of my favorite games. Now I have to go find it again.

Also: Castle of the winds, Exile 1-3, Microman (never would have remembered that one..)
World Empires?
How about 'The War in Heaven'?

I'd love to find a full version, or anything of Duke Nukem 1.

Ok...another obscure one: Nene Nukem

Bubblegum Crisis, anyone?
