DidYouKnowGaming? brought this up recently in terms of old mobile games
www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKH0x21rj1Y
;though, I think the problem is a lot deeper than that.
I have a few examples;
*The Mac game Kooky's Quiz Carnival; Jupiter Corporation's first game? (see www.tjm.jp/product/game/other/quize.php ). For my filter bubble, entering "Kooky no Quiz Carnival" on Google gives just 1 search result, "Kooky's Quiz Carnival" 5 results, and "クーキーのクイズカーニバル" (the official native name) only 43 results. Furthermore I can't find any footage of the game on YouTube or Niconico yet.
*Various old Sanrio licensed games for PCs, I'm still putting together lists of these for my Sanrio Wiki site on Shoutwiki.
*The Smaki games, of which Blupi is the mascot (still an obscure character though), but recently Epsitec released lots of their games as open source. twitter.com/BlupiGames
*Thinking about it, it's deeper than that as well. Some of the most obscure may span back to arcade games (one idea to discover these may be to look for issues of Game Freak magazine, but I was able to document some of Vol. 1 niwanetwork.org/wiki/Game_Freak_(magazine)/Volume_1 ), such as that cancelled Nintendo arcade game Space X mentioned on the forums recently.
*Another platform is the Famicom Network System software, see fryguy64.proboards.com/thread/4702/famicom-network-system-software
*Any obscure platform in general.
*Any distribution service (though the Nintendo Satellaview has had some good work on that).
*Despite Game Freak having a subsidiary called Koa Games (a mobile company), coverage on Koa Games IP is poor.
Thoughts? Are there any games you know too that seem to bring up almost no results, have no GameFAQs listing, etc?
