Good games on less popular consoles, noteworthy games that never got much attention, or something really obscure that you want to bring up.

Picture is from the game Killing Time on the Panasonic 3DO. Not the most obscure, but I've never talked to someone that had actually heard of the 3DO.

*repost from my thread ill just use this one*

This game is so hard to find lots of people have been requesting a Steam release but the creator doesn't even know where he can get his hands on a copy, and I've been wanting to play it for a long time

Sorry to steal your thunder, I was actually considering deleting mine and moving to yours since you did make yours first.

I never played Eastern Mind myself, what do you know of it? Did you play it before, and want to play it again, or did something just spark an interest in it?

>> No.1139498

>>1139492
Its fine
no I've never played it but a lets player i watch had the game a was doing videos on it
It sparked my interest because its this really messed up point and click puzzle game
and the music not bad

Pretty sure there's still a download link somewhere from when the chu-teng hunt was on. You should ask in that Chu-Teng thread, I think you'll get a response.

and from what i heard Chu-tang was just recently ripped and its in Japaneses but fro what i hear the type the text file is can be translated

Thanks anon
I problem with the lets player i found out about the game was the animation was extremely fast due to the modern day processors and the download says t Contains Windows 3.1 emulator so i wont have that problem right?

>> No.1139551

>>1139537
yes, the animations will still be too fast in dosbox. if it really bothers you, you need to lower the cycles by pressing CTRL+F11 a few times.

Marathon isn't really that obscure or underrated, but god damn is it unloved. I've barely seen it posted here or really anywhere. Which sucks cause it's a really fun FPS.

Really ?What are the differences

I dont remember that game being very good. I dont remember any FPS on the 3DO being any good except for Space Hulk which was one of the best games on that console.
Starfighter was another good game on the 3DO, got ported to PS1 and Saturn but they were inferior.
Wish the 3DO emulator worked better, was such a fun game to play. Massive dogfights, blowing up mountains, death by stereos. You could do the whole thread on 3DO games

I don't really know how Hardwar was received at its launch, but for being such a good game it sure is unknown.
I really like how it still has a cult following and an alive and kicking dedicated forum to this day though.
Pic is the game map, I finished putting it together some hours ago.

It was critically well received and I remember seeing a bunch of full page ads for it in old gaming magazines but nobody really talks about it. Which is a shame because, like you said it's a really good game.

Monster Rancher Explorer for the gameboy

Its different then the normal moster rancher games because its a platformer where you can create and destroy blocks by snapping

Going into this game knowing nothing its a really fun and challenging ride

Only complaints is a somewhat random difficult curve and extra stages are impossible

Search for Zedo's Hardwar site, that's pretty much your main resource for Hardwar stuff.

I've heard of it, but it was an Apple-exclusive series IIRC, and gaming on Apple wasn't big where I lived as a kid.

That, and a bunch of dipsticks took the Marathon engine and made the godawful ZPC game that couldn't bury itself in a landfill fast enough.

Well, it's not text file, but bitmaps compressed with Adobe Director 4 for MAC. That makes the translation difficult.
