No the game isn't that old. The game actually has better graphics than Silent Storm, IMO even though it's older than Silent Storm.

I used to play an old Mac shareware game called Jetpack. I'd add a link, but it's impossible to find considering the far more famous Jetpac on the Spectrum and an entirely different and still far more famous Jetpack from 1993. That's what you get with a generic title, folks!

Lode Runner (by Broderbund IIRC) was a highly popular game in its day. Chances that you're the only one that played it seem quite slim. :) I know I did. :) I've never heard of any of the others though.

Most obscure that I remember is Bernie, a DOS platformer. It's a very basic game with a recurring glitch (?) that replaces the sprite of your character with a balloon, causing the loss of control over movement.

There's close to nothing on the internet about it.

One game I can think of that is pretty rare, since it wasn't commercial and was a spoof game, is SPISPOPD, which went on to be immortalized in id Software's DOOM game as a cheat code (IDSPISPOPD). The full name of the game is Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles of Putrid Debris.

Na, that looks too modern. The graphics for the game I played were more dated than that. I ran it on Windows 95, but it may have been a couple of years older than that.

Koudelka, I'm not sure it ever came to PC though, it was a PS game from way back, i thought it was pretty decent, it was rough looking and a bit stiff, but i liked the story and gameplay overall.

That's the weird one with Gothic theme full human graphic like resident evil, grid turn base combat like ff tactics and the "genius" game design that put save point after Boss fight. I give up just after first boss fight

Also wondering if anyone else play dos Megaman game

Generally?

Na, it was first person perspective, though I vaguely recall being able to switch camera angle.

I distinctly recall 2 obstacles you could put on the track:

One of them was a straight up vertical loop that forced you to do a 360.

The other was like a circular tunnel split in 2 by a wall (and the end of the tunnel on your side of the wall 2qw a dead end). The wall was pretty high, but not the full height of the tunnel, so you could technically reach the other side by doing a 360 over the wall (as the tunner was circular in shape).

Thanks for reminding me the title of the Lode Runner sequel. :) I also prefer the original one, I didn't play LR2 all that much (though I did like it), that's why I couldn't even remember the title. I haven't played The Legend Returns, but it looks nice, closer to the original game.

Wish GOG would have the whole series... Drakkhen too, it was one of my favorite games back then and I still play it every once in a while.

Despite being an Impressions game, I've never heard anyone else talk about this game. It was probably objectively not very good (even for its time), but I it was one of my earliest (full) computer games that I got into after my family got a computer.
This one would seem to be legitimately obscure, too: there are only nine votes for it on the Community Wishlist, and zero comments. :(

<span class="bold"><i>Culdcept</i></span>
A CCG/board game stuffed with awful JRPG/manga cliches; I've only played the (poorly) localized PS2 port of Culdcept II. This is seriously one of my favorite games of all time (for the gameplay, obviously :P ).
One of those cases of "far more popular in its home country [Japan, in this case] than elsewhere" -- there have been at least three video games in the series (not counting expansions/ports/remakes), as well as a manga series, but only two games to date have been released in North America (or anywhere outside Japan, AFAICT); according to the page linked above, the latest new game in the series (a 3DS original, apparently, rather than another revised and expanded port) will come to N.A. & Europe later this year.
If I hadn't happened upon a single, little-played rental copy of the PS2 Culdcept years ago (which I purchased several years later when the rental place started selling off some of their PS2 games), I likely wouldn't know of the existence of these games at all.

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnarok_(video_game)]Ragnarok[/url]
A Norse-mythology-themed, NetHack-inspired roguelike from well before the term "roguelike" was in common use. Along with Castle of the Winds (which, interestingly, seems to be remembered by many more people than this game is), this was my introduction to what I would later come to know as the roguelike (sub?)genre. Ragnarok's a little clunky, and not open source (so it still requires a DOS environment), but it had a mouse-driven GUI, which was novel for roguelikes at that time (especially DOS-based ones), and made it a bit more accessible for a noob, even if I wound up using the keyboard for most things eventually.
It's freeware now, though I kind of prefer the slightly older shareware version, since an annoying (read: deceptively dangerous) new creature was apparently added later that makes playing the last version more vexing than it already was.

There was also some little shareware turn-based hotseat-multiplayer (only -- no AI opponents) tactical battle arena game where each player controlled a wizard who could mainly summon creatures; last wizard standing was the victor. Sadly, having no friends willing to play what was, by the time I discovered it, already a several-years-old game, I only ever played the thing against myself. =(
This was some little one-man affair, too: no music, no sound card support (I think there were some minimal PC speaker sound effects), very simple graphics. I want to say it was actually called "Arena", but, as one might imagine, searching the Internet for things like "Arena DOS game" doesn't give the results I'm looking for. ;P

Sounds a lot like Stunts a.k.a. 4D Sports Driving, but that's a pretty well-known game I believe.

Edit: Sorry, no, never mind. That's probably not it.

There's this remarkably fun little game for Commodore64 called Seesaw where you play as a chicken trying to get into a castle while monsters try to crush you, as you run back and forth on a seesaw. It was very simple, but also quite fun.

If TET were still around he could tell you about it, he's the only other person I've ever met who knows that game. ;)

GOG needs more rare games!

Entombed – This was an interesting Myst clone.

Fire Fight – Another rare top-down shooter with really good music!

Flux – This was a rare match-the-color game, but it had great music!

Swarm – This game was a top-down perspective space shooter with many levels.

Take No Prisoners – A shooter game from the top-down perspective--very rare.

Urban Assault – A game I've been looking for forever. Urban Assault is a 3D RTS game set in the future.
