Snake Pit, is that obscure?  Need a trackball and a joystick.
Woodshop Flunky:
Lot of interesting games I've never heard of.  Thanks!  I've added several of these to my list of games to try.

I thought that coin game was going to put me to sleep when the video first came up.  By the time it was over, my eyes were fixed on the screen thinking, "No, no, no! Back to the left! ... NOT TOO FAR!" :)  I'll be adding that one for sure.

Roc n Rope ends after the fifth board?

I've never seen a game rip off of Joust - till Balloon Fight.
Dexter:
Don't really know how 'unknown' this game is on your side of the pond but I've only ever saw one cab in Ireland. To be honest I was that young when I played it I had pretty much forgotten it existed. Then , thanks to the wonders of MAME, I randomly clicked on it, and when it loaded it, genuinely was hit with a teardrop shaped brick wall of nostalgia.

The game?

lock'n'chase

Any other fans?

By the way, not the greatest game ever, but I was 7 or so at the time so cut me some slack!

Best game when I was 7?

Star Castle.

I can still remember the adrenaline of being chased by the star fireballs as my pudgy little 7 year old sausagefingers hammered the leaf switches.

Probably why I detest idiots dissing the mamedevs. If it wasn't for them a tiny slice of my childhood would have been lost forever to me like so many swag bags.

I like Sega System 16 games like Cotton, MVP, and Wonder Boy 3.  WB3 being perhaps not so obscure but woefully overlooked for its classic gameplay imo
