Maybe not super obscure, but I loved BMX XXX on the original Xbox. It was overshadowed my the plethora of other games like Tony Hawk, Aggressive Inline and SSX but I still love it.

Loved it for the topless riders? Or did you 'buy it for the gameplay'

beyond ynth
I remember a 3D version of Tetris on an early IBM PC clone. Very early like 8088 or 286 PC. Don't remember the name and it was only wireframe and 1color (amber or greenscreen?) but I was very impressed with it. Seemed ahead of its time.

Back in the 90s maybe into early 2000s, my family managed to acquire a lot of VHS tapes, and some of them were fairly obscure
Two that I remember particularly fondly were 2 animated movies
Epic: Days of the Dinosaur, which was about 2 kids raised by dingos, kind of a weird fantasy movie
And Return to Treasure Island, which was pretty much just a straight-up if somewhat comedic adaptation of Treasure island, which was apparently made the USSR, and the Russian version had live action sequences that didn't appear in the English version I had.
A former roommate of mine had a DVD he had gotten from a friend who got it from a film festival. I believe it was Dreamscape but I haven't been able to find a copy to confirm this actually it.

Ninja Bachelor Party. A goofy and mostly nonsensical home movie made by a few teenagers, including legendary comedian Bill Hicks way before he was famous.
Movie: Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
Music: Buggie Techinica by Polysics
There was a dnd game for the intellivision
There was more than 1! My dad had at least 2 and I am pretty sure there was a 3rd. I remember playing the Minotaur labyrinth one a lot.

No idea what the movie’s actual title was but there is a wonderfully poorly dubbed kung fu movie by the American title “Shaolin V Ninja”
The voices are terrible, sometimes the characters answer their own questions, music is stolen from Star Trek II at points and it features probably the best “I’ve been stabbed” sound in cinematic history at about 1 hour, 13 minutes. Highly recommend. https://youtu.be/h6iYROUoHUE?si=6h7DzxRMD6x4YSLl
Also it’s that specific dub, there seems to be a more shared version on youtube that is better translated (and not as stupid).
Anyone used to play this computer games hosted on Kabam? My favorite was edgeworld where you had to build a base and destroy others and such. Classic strategy game with alliances, and a world map where people took nodes and tried to execute like, chain dominion type stuff? Vaguely remember but god I loved that game.
Also Endless online? Different but an obscure rpg where ya had ya character and went exploring in dungeons and such, getting loot, completing quests. So many hours sunk into these games.
I played the heck out of TankPot back in the day. One of the best early games to have a high number of simultaneous multi-player, I think 64, split poverty 4 teams of tanks. Played through the browser, it moved around to different sites a few times over the years and now has its own dedicated site:
https://tankpit.com/
A friend and I used to play Liero Xtreme lots when we were kids. I have never seen any mention of that game anywhere on any forum in my years on the internet
