What are your favorite "obscure" puzzle games in mame?
Thenasty:
I got addicted with Boxy Boy.
I like Chcken Shift, I configred my Controlls to use the FLIPPER buttons on the side of the cabinet for this game.

Thanks, but that's not it.
Bah! I might even have the details wrong, it's weird how your memory can distort stuff sometimes. I think I would know it if I saw a screenshot of it, so if no one comes up with it, I had a brainstorm: Use RomLister to copy all the puzzle game snaps to another folder and then just browse through them. A lot faster than loading up every puzzle game rom.
And thanks for the game suggestions guys, got a chance to try a few of them, and this is the kind of stuff I'm looking for. :cheers: Stuff that's not just another Tetris or Puzzle Bobble clone (as great as those games are, I really don't need to have umpteen variants of them).

Don't know if you'd consider it a puzzle game, but Diver Boy has your character above water and diving for stuff. Mindless fun, but fun nonetheless. Great for kids.
Another game that I find challenging is Anteater. Again, maybe not considered a puzzle? (Maybe not even "obscure")

Basically you played a dog (I think you could choose different characters at the start but I was a dog) and I had to rescue a boy that had fallen down a well or a mine (I think?). I had to control the dog through different coloured sections of the mine and get deeper underground. Do you guys know the name of it?

Sounds like Mr. Driller 2, or Mr. Driller Great.

Boulder Dash is good too and any Lode Runner.
