dutchkimble,

Operation Sandman, amazing movie with Ron perlman and also the adventures of Pete and Pete

AlfredEinstein,

Pete & Pete was awesome.

I tried watching it on DVD a few years ago, and it hasn’t held up as well as I’d hoped. But the cameos are still worth it.

Gimpydude,

Santa Paravia en Fiumaccio. It was a tex based strategy game on the TRS 80 written in basic. You played a feudal lord and tried to grow your empire. Each turn was a year. It was a text only game, but I’m pretty sure they had a graphics version at one point. When I say graphics, it was the upper half of the ASCII character set mapped over to block characters. This was in the 70’s.

carcus,

This is an odd one. Deep Africa is an episode from an obscure series called Inflated, which came out some 20 years ago. I remember someone at a party having a VHS of it.

It features blowup dolls as the main characters. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen it, probably hasn’t aged well, but I remember aspects of it being funny, if not absurd.

Redfox8,

I recorded a film off the tv channel Sy-Fy a few years backcalled AfterDeath (not the 2023 film that comes up in a search). It’s possibly not that obscure, but I believe it was a low budget film so maybe not at all well known. Anyhow, it didn’t record all the film for some reason so I have never seen the end (last 15min or so), but despite the clear lack of quality it had an interesting premise (a group of young people who wake up in a beach cabin but apparently in the middle of some quasi-nowhere). I was intrigued as to how the approach to playing out the scenario would end but maybe I enjoyed it more for not having been able to see the ending if it was z bad one!

Legacy of the wizard, rygar, cypher (strider)

JustZ,

I remember Rygar.

numberfour002,

On the Internet, everything is fundamentally both obscure yet ubiquitous, or so it seems. But in real life, there are at least 2 things that seem to be obscure to the point that people don’t believe me when I mention it:

  1. A Super Nintendo game released in the US as Super Ninja Boy. It was a follow-up to (or maybe remake of) Little Ninja Brothers on the NES. I’ve even been told that I was confused and that I’m probably thinking of Legend of the Mystical Ninja.
  2. On the original Playstation, there used to be a series of demo discs that would have “hidden” features on them if you pressed the right button(s). One of those demo discs had the entire music video for Usher’s song “Pony” and other than randos on the internet and my friends/family who saw it with me, I’ve never met anybody that remembers it. If anybody here does remember that demo disc, I think there was another hidden music video on there, I vaguely remember a band, with various shots of the drummer wearing black athletic-type shorts with a white band around the leg but beyond that I really do not recall.
Krudler,

Bro I was at the thrift store and I saw a PlayStation demo disc for $2 and I laughed because I didn’t even think it should be there. But I will literally go back, take a picture, buy it and send it to you if it makes your Christmas better lol

numberfour002,

That’s awesome and very kind of you to offer. Not to be ungrateful, but I’m sure someone else would appreciate it far more than me. I don’t have a Playstation anymore and I don’t even have a CD/DVD drive on any device that would be able to run an emulator. Merry Christmas and thanks for being so thoughful!

GTA IV Pakistan edition

Basically, just a GTA4 pirate rip and modded and sold on actual disks.

There are several, and they are hard to find online because any uploads of it probably don’t exist anywhere anymore, and were already rare due to aforementioned disks.

Some of them are so regional and probably made by one person, the only way to find one is to get a computer HDD with it installed.

Daxtron2,

What differences does it have from the original?

mlg,
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

Pakistani flags everywhere, reskinned character and NPCs, Pakistani songs, story characters replaced by famous IRL people, including some known mafia lol. Some original missions and reduxed interactions and updated story. Also lots of military additions.

Some were also themed after a specific city like Karachi or Lahore.

I’m sure Pakistan wasn’t the only country since I’ve heard there were hilarious and great modded bootlegs in other countries as well.

Funny, there is also a mod for GTA SA like this except it’s for my country haha

The discography of this guy.

If you’ve ever played Incredibox, you most likely know him as the composer of that game’s music.

pantyhosewimp, (edited )

Music from two bands in the DC area from the 90s. Testicular Momentum and Scooter Trash. Searchs for these bands are more likely to turn up results for testicular torsion or scooter rentals in Washington than the bands.

Testicular Momentum is proper original industrial music from before Nine Inch Nails stole the name for a pop music sub genre.

Scooter Trash is hard rock. The kind of music that’s suitable for hearing if you’re drunk in a loud bar.

As for particular media…

TM has a track on a various artists cassette: www.discogs.com/artist/238652

Same with ST but a more recent digital release: discogs.com/…/2804166-Various-Fuck-Corporate-Wank…

OhmsLawn, (edited )

Edit: Just to sell it a little harder, this album has phenomenal songwriting. It’s got a laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.

The What! Help is On The Way

This album and band is endangered, no CD’s, unavailable on any music streaming service.

The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload.

One of my favorite bands ever. They were introduced to me by a friend’s sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.

The only other link related to them now appears to be a remaining band member’s channel, which hasn’t been updated in 11 years.

subunit317,

Starsiege. No, not tribes. Starsiege, third game in the earthsiege series. Tribes was actually a spin off in the same universe that got much more popular (with good reason, tribes was awesome).

Starsiege was a pc game that came in a bigass box, complete with multiple books filled with lore from the game’s universe. It wasn’t as well received as mech warrior (another mech sim), so it didn’t have a big community. But those of us that played it loved it to death. I think you can still get the game running if you don’t mind fucking with a bunch of sketchy third party patches.

The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One - A D&D podcast. It’s cast should be pretty familiar if you’re into other D&D podcasts - Brennan Lee Mulligan is the DM, Aabria Iyengar, Erika Ishii and Lou Wilson are players - but it doesn’t seem to have many listeners.

It strikes a nice balance between scripted narrative performances and actual play. It’s edited and scored with a light touch that stops it dragging like the raw sessions of something like Critical Role, but preserving the authentic character breaking reactions as the dice takes it somewhere interesting. The players don’t seem to be in on a “script”, anymore so than the normal sort of out of session discussions you might have in a narrative heavy game at home, but the DM does a very good job of keeping it focused. It’s also thankfully not another billion player table, three is much more comfortable.

The vibe is excellent. From cozy slices of life to drama that plays on your heartstrings as three childhood friends reconnect and go on an adventure. Its trailer conveys the tone pretty well honestly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q9et3Othu4

elbarto777,

Its* cast

Scurouno,

Sundog: Frozen Legacy (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunDog:_Frozen_Legacy) originally for Apple II but brought to PC. My friend and I spent countless hours roleplaying as Han Solo, trading contraband and pulling bounties. If you want an incredible space trading/combat sim experience, forget Star Citizen, this game is for you!

Whoa I totally played this when I was super little, thanks for the nostalgia hit!

theredknight,

I’ve never met anyone who knows this game classicreload.com/braminar.html
