I have a question: Do other lesser-known versions of common games count as well?

If it's say a rare version of X game like the gold media man carts, then I assume. Star fox super weekend/donkey kong contest are examples of rare games we can talk about.

As for the Polish Action Sci-fi game:
Name: Przeklęta Ziemia (or, Przekleta Ziemia if your browser doesn't display Polish fonts), which can be translated as Cursed Earth. Release date: June 15, 1998 Developer / Publisher: LK Avalon (worldwide known mainly for their PC adventure games Schizm and Reah) System Requirements: Pentium 90 MHz, 16 MB RAM, SVGA, Win 95/98 or DOS Game summary: It's an action game with RTS elements. You choose a team of three mercenaries out of ten and then you're dropped onto battlefield, where you kill enemies and destroy their buildings, bases, power plants, etc. Inbetween missions, you buy better weapons for your characters. You control your team with a mouse so the gameplay is something between an RTS and an RPG like Baldur's Gate, etc. The game was released on one CD and it has some redbook audio tracks. I remember the music was quite good, the back of the cover says it's "industrial metal".

There are claims that Konami's Antarctic Adventure started out as an arcade game. But as its Wikipedia article says, that claim has yet to be confirmed.

My first post - please excuse any errors. Thanks for mentioning Retroprograms. I also have slt.retroprograms.com/ where I am putting up software and scans of stuff I have bought on auction, some of which may be of interest. Please just do not hammer the site though - bandwidth limitations sadly. On Vector, there is still quite a bit of PC98 stuff in the MS-DOS section, though some games badly wanted are no longer there: www.vector.co.jp/vpack/filearea/dos/game/There are at least two large PC98 archives and one PC88 up on the internet archive, apart from the TOSECs, along with a number of scanned books, mooks, etc: archive.org/search.php?query=japanese%20computersI hope this is of interest.

Impossible Mission 2525 was in theory ready for release on the SNES and Genesis (Nintendo Power even published a blurb in "Now Playing"), but has never surfaced. I still hope to find Bullfrog's "Battle", featured in a 1992 PC Review coverdisk.

For years I've been trying to track down a PC platform/adventure game called The Fortune Cookie. It was developed by a company called Noch Software around 1997. It also may have been released under the name Midas Software. I remember playing a demo on a shareware compilation CD several years ago. It is characterized by bright, colorful pixel art, an excellent jazzy soundtrack, and a pretty high curve of difficulty. There was also a sort of non linearity to the way you could explore the levels. According to Abandonia, this was somewhat of an update to an earlier Noch Software game, Lost City of Atlantis, seen here: www.abandonia.com/en/games/1066/Lost+City+of+Atlantis%2C+The.html I do still have the demo of Fortune Cookie on one of my drives. If anyone is interested I can upload it somewhere.

Okay, will do. I'll make sure to take some good screenshots, as well.

The Fortune CookieThis game is truly obscure! I can't seem to find any information about it. I would like to note that the soundtrack is really well arranged. Lots of funk, jazz, and hip-hop beats. I'll add some more information about the game when I have time to play through it. Link to the shareware version: www.sendspace.com/file/44gb03

Wow, thanks a lot That's a pretty interesting release (and plot ) Now I wish the E3 demo for Bonk got leaked at least somehow ... but that's likely to remain a wet dream, much like the hope of seeing the localizations for Macross PSX, Coyboy Beepob 2 and Bouken Jidai Goemon surfacing one day.
