It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.

Getbackers. It was an anime that I liked as a kid. I tried to rewatch it recently and realized how bad it is.

I watched Star Blazers every week as a kid.

A former roommate of mine had a DVD he had gotten from a friend who got it from a film festival. I believe it was Dreamscape but I haven't been able to find a copy to confirm this actually it.

I remember a 3D version of Tetris on an early IBM PC clone. Very early like 8088 or 286 PC. Don't remember the name and it was only wireframe and 1color (amber or greenscreen?) but I was very impressed with it. Seemed ahead of its time.

Back in the 90s maybe into early 2000s, my family managed to acquire a lot of VHS tapes, and some of them were fairly obscure

Two that I remember particularly fondly were 2 animated movies

Epic: Days of the Dinosaur, which was about 2 kids raised by dingos, kind of a weird fantasy movie

And Return to Treasure Island, which was pretty much just a straight-up if somewhat comedic adaptation of Treasure island, which was apparently made the USSR, and the Russian version had live action sequences that didn't appear in the English version I had.

Maybe not super obscure, but I loved BMX XXX on the original Xbox. It was overshadowed my the plethora of other games like Tony Hawk, Aggressive Inline and SSX but I still love it.

Loved it for the topless riders? Or did you 'buy it for the gameplay'

Ninja Bachelor Party. A goofy and mostly nonsensical home movie made by a few teenagers, including legendary comedian Bill Hicks way before he was famous.

There were four promotional songs put together to promote the 1960's Adam West Batman. One of them is Miranda sung by Adam West. It's, uh, something, yeah.

sometimes I feel like Nintendo's Custom Robo series counts as only 2 games ever existed outside of Japan: Custom Robo [Battle Revolution] for Gamecube, and Custom Robo Arena for DS. Luckily there's been 3 spiritual successors since then: Cyberspace Colosseum, WizardPunk, and Battlecore Robots.

There's also this B-movie from the 60s called The Creation of the Humanoids. It's not that spectacular per se, but it is the source of the "You are a robot" sample used in Powerman 5000's When Worlds Collide and the Metal Arms: Glitch in the System theme music.

There was a dnd game for the intellivision

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

There was more than 1! My dad had at least 2 and I am pretty sure there was a 3rd. I remember playing the Minotaur labyrinth one a lot.

I played the heck out of TankPot back in the day. One of the best early games to have a high number of simultaneous multi-player, I think 64, split poverty 4 teams of tanks. Played through the browser, it moved around to different sites a few times over the years and now has its own dedicated site: https://tankpit.com/ https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexternal-preview.redd.it%2F5GYwnlg_Wv_eYnzbmAwGd0Cvq9z_KqMu5B0reHBSCls.jpg
