That game was actually developed by Scarab (Survival Arts, Battle Monsters, Killing Zone), which later became feelplus. |

Cadash. It's the tits. Stay away from the horrible Genesis and TG-16 ports, though. The Turbografx port wasn't that bad. Anyways, here's a game by Capcom that for some reason fell off the radar. Think of it as Ghosts 'n' Goblins with a hint of RPG. |

Gun Master (Gunstar Heroes in the arcade, commands for special moves, cool bosses)  Just bought this game, couldn't stand the game constantly freezing on MAME! Along with Gamshara (since I always wanted to try this cabal clone, even with all the bad mouth about it). |

Here's another obscure arcade gem, Tinkle Pit by Namco. It's a cute, entertaining maze game which has also cameos and references from other Namco games like Dig Dug and Pac Man.
Such a shame it was never ported to consoles (SNES could easily handle it).

That looks awesome, why wasn't that in any Namco Museum?

My first thought was because it wasn't popular enough like most games at the Namco Museum series. Then again I remembered that other obscure games like Toy Pop were also included at the collection. Companies like Namco should follow examples of companies like Taito and make richer collections of old, arcade games. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taito_Legends_2 |

From my childhood I remember Thunder Hoop, a platformer made by Spanish company Gaelco with a clone of Dragonball's Son Goku as main character. Simple but fun game with a super-obscure sequel named "TH Strikes Back" (unemulated as of now) where the Goku guy became a Rambo-lookalike.
There's also Boogie Wings aka The Great Ragtime Show, a comical shooter from Data East with a biplane that can pick up all sorts of crazy stuff and the character having the ability to drive everything from tanks to pogo sticks and elephants. I'm in talks to write an article about it for the site.

Both Shadow Force and Boogie Wings are awesome with the first one being insanely hard at the end of the game but quite impressive as a beat 'em up and the second one being one of the most underrated shmup gems.

This might be considered underrated:

The biggest flaw of Boogie Wings/Ragtime Show is that it's easily broken by turbo controls. If you mash the button fast enough you get a gigantic 360-degree barrier of near-invincibility around your plane. With turbo it's permanent as long as you don't lose the plane.
Irem's Lethal Thunder is probably the #1 example of a game where using turbo fire is cheating, since the powerup and scoring systems are entirely based around how fast you can mash the button.
Also, I don't think Black Tiger is obscure at all, it's a pretty common cab in the US and was widely seen back in the day.
