Heart of China
No idea if it's obscure or not, but I'd like someone to tell me if it is. :P
Companions of Xanth
It's obscure, but if you ever see the game, RUN!! !! !!
In which direction? ???
I used to play a MtG PC game(the old one), didn't like the game too much(no multiplay). :-\
Storm, you started a thread about obscure games, with a non-obscure game? ;P
ANOTHER EDIT: Mickey's Space Adventure (made by Roberta Williams, for all who care to know)
Heard about it... I think I tried downloading it once but it needed an emulator. Or is that "The Wizard And The Princess" I'm thinking about? :S

They made a DOS version, but I've only played the CoCo version. :)
EDIT: Using Google, The Sands of Time got 1,410 hits(most had nothing to do with games). Then I added "game" to the end, and got 608 hits, though most of those seem to be of the Windows game. :P
Eh, that paragraph is referring to the other game you've mentioned :-\
because it's the Prince of Persia sequel
QuoteEh, that paragraph is referring to the other game you've mentioned :-\
I didn't know they ported the game to DOS, I thought it was only made for the Color Computer(Sands of Egypt). :-\
BTW, has anyone else played Tass Times in Tone Town (that Captain Snarl is a pain in the backside during the early stages!)

Evidence gets bonus point since I couldn't find a review for it.
how about eco quest? ....isn't that a sierra game too?
Spider-Man: The Sinister Six
not to be confused with Spiderman2: The Sinister Six
hero's quest!! :D ....I knew the boardgame (played it when I was young) but I've found a computergame of it :P

Heavens forbid!! :P
But with only 74 hits, that game is either seriously obscure, or a spelling mistake ;)

I've only heard of this game because of the Quest for Glory thing... but it's RPG, and not really obscure -
"hero quest" RPG -sierra -glory got 2,550 hits :-\
Does that mean I've named the most obscure game? :D :P
P.S. What did you type in, to get 75? ???
actually it was Hero Quest from Gremlin, and it is neither a RPG nor adventure, it's a strategy board game :S
BTW, what company is it from? ???
The Sinister Six is a thoroughly bad adventure game adaptation of the hit Spider-Man franchise. Following the plot of the comic book of the same name, the gameplay is straightforward: choose what you want to do next from a menu of multiple choices, and follow to the next screen where you will play one of the extremely simple mouse-driven mini arcade games. Some are so simple, in fact, that you can complete them without really knowing what you are doing.
Despite decent cartoony graphics and an okay plot, the gameplay is so laughably simple and easy that the 'game' portion is almost nonexistent. In contrast to the much better Spider-Man game years later by Activision based on the hit movie, this Byron Preiss game turns a blockbuster franchise into a horrible game that poses no challenge and offers no fun whatsoever...
It's been knocked down to 3rd place. :'( :P
I'll agree with everything they said about the Spider-Man game....when it's two difficulty settings are set to easy(one for combat, the other for puzzles). ;P

And when it's set to hard? I've read in some places that the hard setting isn't really all that hard :-\
