The most obscure game I've ever played is a PC game called Men in Black 2 crossfire. Which is the third person top-down view game where you play as a MiB agent and use different weapons to hunt aliens that have escaped.

I have played a lot of games that may be considered obscure. From various flight sims to odd Flash based time wasters. But the one title I will mention here is "OpenBVE". This is a free railroad driving simulator that is focused on realism and itself came from the Japanese train driving sim "BVE Express" although independently developed. I admit I sank far too many hours into this even though it isn't really a game as such. There was something oddly therapeutic just driving various trains up and down various real and fictional routes. And if I was feeling a bit lazy, there was even an autodrive system (That was available regardless of trains but didn't always work.) I know there are commercially available train driving simulators out there but the biggest things OpenBVE had over them is that it was free and it was highly customisable.

I wonder if anyone else has heard of it Punky Skunk. A PS1 platformer about a skunk taking on the mouse gang the BB Brigade. Some of the levels were built around you needing gear like a parichute, or a Pogo stick to blast through them. It came out in 1996, and no one else I knew had it, but this was back then when games were a dime a dozen. Many people had games you never even though to exist.
