There’s absolutely no way anyone except me has played Gearheads, but it was pretty fun. These days, if something like this was made by one person on Steam, it’d probably be much more successful. As a retail release in 1996, on the shelves next to Quake and Mechwarrior 2? lol, nope.
SuperKarts was also fun (you know it’s obscure nowadays when you have to specify ”superkarts game”, otherwise you just get videos of real karts), and there was a real dearth of arcade-style racers at the time on PC. IIRC this used the Wolfenstein 3D engine.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Nope, I had Gearheads on my old Windows 95 PC, absolutely loved it. Used to keep spamming the laser robot and bombs.
I can only think of games only I remember. The Last Eden. ZZT. Stormworks. These are all the same
Oh! I forgot my other one. Threads of Fate for the PS1! Very fun little Action RPG by Square. Didn’t make much of a splash. God I miss when big companies made small games like that :(
Mine is a point and click adventure called Yesterday on Steam.
Here I’ll just screenshot my Steam review
Emily is Away
I’m incredibly lonely
Oh thats in my steam library! Haven’t played it but I’ll keep that in mind.
Pulseman
Oh hey I have access to that on Switch online (not that I couldnt just emulate it if i didnt lol) I’ll keep in mind to check that out.
It’s a fun little look at a non-Pokemon game from Gamefreak. Note, it suffers from Sega anti-rental difficultly at some points towards the end so save states and rewind is advised.
It also has the most voice clips I’ve ever heard from a Mega Drive game. They’re so crunchy and the good kind of cheesy (IMO)
Soul sacrifice delta, underloved game on an underloved console but I dumped stupid hours into it.
And my favourite is and always will be two worlds 1 and 2. I will die on this hill that they are good games.
Ooo a vita game nice. Sounds fun
I’ve unfortunately only been exposed to Two Worlds via the Projared reviews (lol oops) but I had read somewhere that them being bad isnt a universally heald opinion I think. Second one actually looked a bit fun, but
there being a cute orc girl in it is an advantage tbh
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos
It’s made by Ace Team, the Chilean studio that made Zeno Clash (this one is technically a sequel to those games) and some other games like Rock of Ages. Like their other games the gameplay starts out a little jank but if you can get past that it’s got really cool presentation with a very unique style. Also has a short but sweet story with some cleverer themes than you’d expect and I really enjoyed the soundtrack.
TL;DR It’s lower budget God of War from Chile and it rocks
Oh I played a good amount of Zeno Clash actually! When I was trying to sample all my steam games from Z up lmao. It was fun! Artifacts of Chaos is on sale rn so I picked it up.
Awesome, I like doing free advertising for Ace Team because when I sent a couple paragraphs to the lead dev about why I thought it was a good game he told me he gave my message to the whole team. I want my special little Chilean art major gaming devs to thrive
Offspring Fling is a cute little puzzle platformer where you try to clear each level as fast as possible. The mechanics go a little bit deeper than it appears at first.
Blackwake. Super fun and unique team gameplay if you’re lucky enough to join a server that isnt overrun with toxic gamers. or if you’re lucky enough to play at all, since the game has been abandoned for a few years now and it’s pretty much dead in terms of playercount. In my opinion though, it could’ve grown to become a truly incredible and timeless game if it weren’t abandoned by the developer and left proprietary in an unfinished state so fans can’t pick up development.
It’s a shame that blackwake didn’t manage to retain a decent player base, it was very fun :(
Third time the game has already been in my steam library I have a problem.
Armed and Dangerous
LAND SHARK GUN
Also this lol: https://youtu.be/lW2a15l2VWA
The game is so dated now though unfortunately. A remake or sequel could be good.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Oh that brings me back! I only have vague memories of playing it when I was little. You could shoot boulders that would roll down a hill and squish your enemies, and there was also a cool jetpack I think.
The game isn’t THAT dated. It’s got smooth controls and good combat. I don’t think there will ever be a remake/sequel though, sadly.
Rosewater. it’s still not out but I’ve played the demo and it’s alright. it’s an point and click adventure game which is the sequel to their previous p&c, lamplight city (which was also good in my opinion).
other than that most forgotten games I’ve played were a while ago, i can’t remember them.
they were mostly free online games that my potato could run which don’t satisfy the requirements of this post since i saw other people play them. the ones i can remember are:
blockade 3D, robocraft, cubic castles, CS 2D, unturned, boring man, chivalry medieval warfare, teeworlds, blockpost, loadout.
Oh shit free games. I can add those to my library with just the click of a button and make my steam library’s played games to unplayed games ratio even more embarassing! awwww loadout isnt available anymore :(
i think half of these are not available anymore, i played them like 7 or 8 years ago. loadout has a revival project called loadout reloaded. it was dormant for a year or two but i seem to recall they had some multiplayer tests recently.
Love point and clicks. In fact of the two games I recomended myself in here one was one.
i love point and clicks as well. there’s one that i played when i was 8 in my friend’s house but i only played one chapter of it and for the love of god i can’t remember what its name is, and no matter how much i searched i couldn’t find it. it’s still haunting me in my dreams.
IF you can you should check out the one i recommended in this thread, Yesterday.

This one videogame I made as a hobby project. It sorta ties to my real identity, so I can’t exactly name it.
Egypt: Old Kingdom
ancient egypt simulator. 4x strategy game where you start as a couple guys on the banks of the nile river and soon create the Egyptian Old Kingdom and all of the various monument that came with it, featuring some very in depth history lessons on the side
Oh that sounds very interesting thank you.
But will I be able to build historically accurate communism in ancient egypt?
You can’t abolish the pharoahdom, no
