Nice. Actual obscure games. Most of these types of vids are filled with Faxanadu, Earthbound, and other games that fans already know.

Gunple Gunmans Proof is super underrated, everything about it is so quirky. Really happy to see more people cover it .

GANPURU MENTION!! It quickly became one of my favorite games ever. The thing is though, I never played A Link to the Past! (Unless you count A Link Between Worlds, that is)

12:40 That part blew my mind only for the one reason that they reused the music in that game for the game Eversion if you ever played that. I didn't know they ripped it from that

Niiice, definitely playing these ones! Not really an old game, but Pilot Quest on the UFO50 collection on Steam is a great Zelda like game with elements of idle base management, very great game

Subbed for "Warriors of the Blue Dragon Legend." Or, "Bushi Seiryuden," as I tended to call it. I've known about this for *years.* I've been obsessed with it for *years.* I have what is possibly the earliest footage of the game on YT. I could not tell you how happy I was when it got a fan translation. It's so good, and more people need to play it. Also, amazing list of "actually" obscure games. I knew about most of these already, but it is a *solid* list, even so. Most of these are ones I never see people talk about (Cocoron, Willow and Crusader of Centy might be the most popular of this list, but even then). I think Samurai Kid is the only one I didn't know about offhand, and as the guy who tends to tell people about games they never heard of? Yeah, I'm glad to find a new one to check out someday.

If i can adda few of my own which i don't hear mentioned very often... Ihatovo Monogatari - SNES Is a fantastic cozy folklore inspired adventure games which hosts one of the best OSTs on the system. (English patch available) Chikyuu Kaihou Gun ZAS - GB Is a fantastic Shmup which makes unique use of the screen ghosting of the gameboy. Bulk Slash - Sega Saturn This one does get it's fair share of love from the Saturn community but is certainly not in the public eye. 10/10 for music, graphics and style. (English patch available) Red Alarm - VirtualBoy If you can gaslight yourself into buying a VB or if you want to mod a 3DS (it's actually quite easy) and emulate using RedViper, this is easily one of the most interesting games for the system. Not great as a Shmup but fantastic as a tech demo with it's wireframe graphics. Power blade - NES A stella 8-bit platformer.

Great vid. I really appreciate the scanline shaders being applied to the games. Makes a lot of difference. You've got really good style. Not overly excited and annoying or trying to be too cool and edgy. I've just put Tetris Gaiden on my R36s! Subscribed!

Great List, I'd also add: + Avenging Spirits (Game Boy) + Marvelous Another Treasure Island (SNES) + Alcahest (SNES) + Linda Cubed Again (PS1) + Dr.Slump (PS1) The last four games are Translations. 😅

When I daw Warriors of the Blue Dragon Legend's sprites on The Spriter Ressource, 2 things came to my mind: - "I guess it's like Zelda 2 or the DS Adventure Time game where you have the top down sections and the side scrolling sections. Except that you can also attack in the top down section like in Zelda 1 and 3" (Guess I'm wrong on the side-scroller section because I expected more Zelda 2 than turn based-esque combat) - The sprite work kinda leads into gen 3 (or at least, looking at the 16bit sprite work of the top down sections and the idle side scroller sprites give me more gen 3 vibes due to the snes colors.)

Now that's a fun list! I feel you're being a bit harsh on Cocoron, my experience with it was reasonably enjoyable all the way through. Then again, I probably have a higher tolerance than most people for rough game design. Plus it has good music.

I love Samurai Kid. It's such an awesome game. It's actually the spiritual successor to Daiku no Gen-san: Kachikachi no Tonkachi ga Kachi. The gameplay is exactly the same. Except you play as Carpenter Gen (aka Hammerin' Harry)

I bought a copy of Bushi Seiryuuden (Warriors of the Blue Dragon Legend) for Super Famicom like a decade ago for a couple bucks at a consignment shop, very cool little find.

Pretty cool, but I would like to see more games for other platforms other than Nintendo
Very interesting video, but some of the recommendations didn't feel like recommendations at all with phrases like "scrapping the bottom of the barrel", I think every game shown in here is worth giving a chance and I think you believe that too, but at times it didn't sound like it.
