Updated the OP and changed the function of this thread a bit. Feel free to ask us questions as always, but now we also have questions for you...

Episode #43 Question for You:

What obscure game or system did you enjoy as a kid (and why)?

We'll discuss your answers on the show

[Stark]

I don't know how obscure the 3DO was, sometimes things like that are hard to tell, but my friend had one and I really enjoyed it and one of my favorite games was Twisted! which was a silly game show video game that was a lot of fun to play in a party. I especially remember a silly guy with a fez hat that would make hilarious comments like "OH! I am dancing with joy!" Fun times.

we are recording tonight, so you can still get in an answer to the question...we'll be happy to discuss it on the show!

again, not "obscure" as far as this forum goes, but I was the only person I knew with a TG16 back in the day. We got it on clearance from EB or Babbages right around the time the system was dying off in the States. I thought it was an awesome system, but sadly I never got to really get any of the games I wanted the system for (Bonk, Splatterhouse, etc) since we were limited to what few clearance titles were left.

Outside of our Commodore 64 (which I considered obscure when everyone else had a NES), the first system I got was a Game Gear - which was equally obscure amongst anyone I knew. Everybody had a Game Boy or had moved to the 16-bit era and I was relegated to being a huge Game Gear fanboy. I poured over every Sega Visions magazine looking for anything about the system.

I played the hell out of the Sonic games, Columns, NBA Jam, Castle of Illusion, Joe Montana Football and The Majors Pro Baseball.

Sorry - I always look for the tweet or thread in here. I should have checked the main page!

New questions for us?

Here's a new question for you: What is the best retro-game compilation ever released and why?

[SamuraiMegas]

I would have to say Super Mario Allstars. It brought a new game to the Mario franchise and updated the graphics and you got to use the great SNES controller.
