Most obscure PC games you have ever played?

Just curious, what's the most obscure PC games you've ever played?
(not asking for consoles, because, well, how many people are going to be familiar with something like ZX-80?)

I'm starting off by naming "Magnetic Labyrinth". I'd be waaaay surprised if anyone even knows what it is. I googled for it but it seems the game just vanished from general knowledge. It's almost like it no longer exists, I barely found one mention (along with a downloadable copy, but I do own it on a disc)

Possibly, I Wanna Be The Guy.

Well, IWBTG is... not very obscure. Some other obscurities maybe?

I also just remembered Sky Cat, damn god that was one hard game.

Could never pass level 1. Played it again and STILL can't pass level 1.

Springy

My dad got it from the shop a while ago. It's a fairly good game, and it even has a very clever level editor.

(I don't play it anymore though)

But it seems like I'm the only one who has ever played it since there's NOTHING on the internet about it. I was hoping to find some new user created levels for it on the net when I played it.

If it's not a mahjong clone, then I have no idea which game you're talking about. Doesn't google all that well.

Pretty obscure, huh?

Well, that's the point.

Springy is a puzzle game. I can't describe the gameplay very well.

When you say "obscure", do you mean "quiet" and "not very well known"?

I would say Monopoly Tycoon. I never see anything on the server list.

There's also that site called Igfip (www.igfip.com), which Jdl posted about a while ago. I don't think anyone except Jdl and me goes there. (the person who, I think, created the site does have future plans for it, though, and hopefully it'll become much more active in the future)

By that criteria, I'm thinking jdl's "Stinky's Labyrinth" would count as the most obscure PC game that I've played.

(That said, Google actually did get a hit, courtesy of the youtube video about engine bugs.)

Deleted.

Note to self: Think before posting for god's sakes.

Damn. I forgot one thing.
Added after the fact: no unfinished games. No killed-in-alphas either, btw.

I think Midnight Synergy's "Colony" counts as obscure when compared to the other Wonderland games.

I really liked that game, it's challenging.

Pixelpart!
Oh wait, that's my game and it's not even finished...

Into a Dark Time!
Oh wait, that's my game...

Camera obscura!
Oh wait, that's not a game, it's a kind of camera...

HOLD IT!
Obscure = not well known, right?
In that case...

I hope you people aren't thinking what I'm thinking of those red circles on strings...
EDIT: What is the point of them being there anyway?
