Yeah, some of them are pretty cool. My school's kinda messed up, though.


How so?


Pregnant teens, people leaving class to "go to the bathroom" while they're really going out for a smoke, the principal enforces the dress code against everyone except his daughter, my old art teacher was somehow cooerced into retiring by the other staff, other things. There are likely schools out there worse than this, though. Just saying I've seen better. =/

Most of the teachers are really cool, though. Very friendly.

And on Futurama: That's prolly the case. It's awesome, but sometimes you tend to forget about the things you once loved. I know.

Live A Live.
Ah, what a fun game. Every little so-called "chapter" of the game was awesome.
Sadly, only a few people seem to know about it and only one fan has made a website about it.

Edit: Oof, SWEARING WARNING FOR ROBOT CHAPTER!
Another edit: Actually... Language warning for entire website as there is more bad language to it than just the robot chapter.

One of my best friends just went on and on about Eternal Darkness about a month or so ago. He kept talking about how scary and awesome it was. Kinda made me want to play it, but I don't think I have the game system for it. From the way he described it, though, it DID sound pretty awesome. I loved the sanity bar thing. That is a really cool concept.


Um. I just posted that I have. Stop crying now, you're getting the carpet wet. =P

1. Of course it is awesome. I got my freaking username from that purple-haired ninja!
And the Knight chapter that came after the others (the page for that one is hidden, the link is to the left of the game's logo) is awesome too. It starts like a normal "save-the-princess" storyline, but then there is a huge unexpected twist.
And after that there's a final chapter... *babbles on and on*

2. I don't know if they'll work. I have a Japanese Super Famicom and I used emulation (gasp!) to play the translated version.

3. Yeah, there is a warning now.

THANK YOU for linking to that site! Finally, now I can't play Emulaters at last. Also, I played Live a life, that is one heck of a cool game.

Mmm, since we're talking about obscure video games ...

Tokimeki Memorial.

Not actually obscure since it was like THE number one selling playstation game in Japan for a very very long time, but since it was never translated and brought to the states it's got a minimal fanbase here. It's a dating siumlation game, totally clean with some absolutely adorable characters with great personalities (Himoo Yuina is, to this very day, my hero). The whole point is to get a girl to fall in love with you by the end of high school. It's SO COOL. The sequel, Tokimeki Memorial 2 is my favorite in the series. There's also TokiMemo 3, and TokiMemo: Girl's Side, where you play a girl who wins a guy instead.

It's insanely popular in Japan, but because of how 'weird' it was it was never translated for American release =/ Boo-urns.

Oh, and Futurama = love. Luck of the Fryrish is one of my favorite episodes of any show EVER.

What Musachan said


Another thing I haven't heard of. 'Course, I don't live anywhere near Japan, soo, it's to be expected, yes? It sounds like something I'd want to try, though. I love "weird" games.

Like, has anyone heard of I Am the Chef? I got it on a demo disk in an import section completely in Japanese. It is FUN. You're basically a chef that's working in a restuarant, and you have to appease the customers and food critic. There are little mini games within it like stomping roaches and chasing some stickfigure through the city for no reason at all. There was also another game along side it whose name I can't remember, but it was about guiding a pole through some electric wires and random crushing obsticals for no apparent reason. Addictive.

And I loved Luck of the Fryrish. It was one of very few things in the history of ever to make me cry. >_> *is insensitive and cold... seriously, I'm freezing*

Err...are those screenshots edited?

Nonetheless, I want that game. (drools.)

Also, a game for the SNES: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time.

I loved this. I beat my brother at it I think. When we got into The Rat King, guess who beat him? Thats right, me! We got to the last boss fight(Super Shredder), but alas, we couldn't beat him.

Nope, they're not edited. Why do you think so? If you mean the bad language and such, then the game just is like that.

I love TMNT4! I just played it yesterday with a friend of mine. It's a very cool game, but I actually like TMNT3 (NES) more. It was longer and more challenging. And once again, pretty obscure. Meh...

Rocko's Modern Life. I nearly died when that show got canceled. For me, that marked the end of quality TV from Nickelodeon.
I still have a collection of pirated episodes and taped ones too. Does anyone know if they have a DVD out for it?

Armored Core, I know I 've takled about this endless times beofre, but really. If you can ignore the shky controls and not top of the notch graphics, this game is brilliant. All 10 or so of them. The original and AC: 3 being the best. It's just to bad they don't get the attention they diserve.

HOLY NECROMANCY, DUMB REFERENCE!

My favorite ROTINOL (rotinol? weird) is definitely an old game for the SNES called Goof Troop. It has the honor of being the only game that's kept me interested for more than 5 seconds. (Besides Game Boy Camera. Man, that was addictive.) Go get it at Bookman's or if you're feeling dangerous today, download a ROM. It's seriously insanely addictive and has really awesome music.

...Where do you live? Because I don't think there are Bookman's anywhere outside of Arizona... unless I'm wrong about this sort of thing.

Anywho. Another ROTINOL for me is...

A game single-handedly put together by one dude with Game Maker called Seiklus. Despite being a one-man act, this game is really actually quite good. It's an adventure game where you have to collect colorful whisps of light and magical treasures in order to reunite with your girlfriend, and then you get to go hunting for pieces of a magical moon amulet afterwards! It's very simple, but I sat playing it for hours after I first downloaded it, wondering, "What the heck am I supposed to do with this dang piano? How do I get all the white whisps? Great, I'm stuck underwater; where NOW?" In a good kind of way, of course.

Best free dollars you ever spent! If you want to give it a shot, you can download it from http://www.autofish.net .

Ah, I know this game. I quite like it. Figuring out what to do with stuff is a cool thing I'd like to see more in games. And the title is in Estonian, which is kind of cool too.

That's why point and click adventure games are so awesome. You have all this stuff and you never quite know what to do with it... you have to figure it out. Which reminds me...

Anyone here know any good free point-and-clicks? I love a good point-and-clicker,

Futurama.

In my opinion, Futurama is the best cartoon ever made. However, it was treated poorly by FOX, so nobody got to see it, so its ratings were low. Therefore, it was cancelled. (I think it's technically "on hiatus", but it's been that way for years now. I think that by now it qualifies as a cancellation.) What's really sad is that nobody seems to have heard of it. Heck, I didn't even hear about it until I saw an ad for it on Adult Swim. That was at some point during "Season 5" (there were only 4 seasons produced, but FOX aired them as 5 seasons...there were 72 episodes total). Most of the kids at my school who have even heard of Futurama heard about it from me. (Though there are some cool older kids who watch it.)


Could I agree any more?

I might agree, if it weren't for the fact that it developed a huge following after DVD release.

I have a few more to add.

Studio Ghibli

Except for my grandma and my friend, no one I know likes this company. My mom, stating that only Walt Disney could produce animation that was worthy of being called "art", could not, and would not, accept the idea that an Anime film could be better then disney. I'm sure you have heard of the famous Ghibli film Grave of the Fireflies? It's perhaps one of the most saddning film on earth, my mom watched it, and didn't even change emotion. She stated that she didn't like the animation in Japan, so thusly, she couldn't take it seriously.

I don't talk to her about Anime anymore. But I don't hate her, because everyone is entitled to their opinion. And, she is my mom.

Ghibli? That's not obscure, man! Ghibli gets plenty of love here Stateside. Why, Turner Classic Movies ran a whole MONTH of Ghibli movies just a while ago! And now Cartoon Network's doing the same! Your mom, however, is being incredibly snobby. Style schmyle. A movie's about the story, man, especially Grave of the Fireflies! Anyone who can watch that movie without even shedding a single tear has to be, like, a cyborg or something. (Of course, I can hardly talk... *points to username*)

I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I cannot forsee how someone can sit through a movie like that and NOT see how incredibly artistic it is...

Come to Iowa, Anime is only known if you are a fanatic. I didn't even know about Ghibli untill I found it by accedent on the Wiki.

Infact, I saw most of their films on TCM when they where having that month back in June. But I've caught up now, I own all the films :mrgreen:

I'm not sure where you live Teeny, but here you have to adore anime to find it.

P.S. TCM needs to do a few more Anime months :mrgreen:
