About
The Gameslinger's blog, Games Obscura, is a blog dedicated to covering strange, obscure, underrated and overlooked games. Some games covered are amazing games that were simply overlooked or forgotten. Some are flawed or poorly received, yet have interesting aspects or concepts that make them worth a second look. Others are downright weird; but fun and interesting, too. In any case, all are worth digging up and taking a second look at, and that's what this blog is all about: In-depth second looks at games that are worth rediscovering, for one reason or another.

I take requests and suggestions! If you know a game that was underrated, obscure, strange, overlooked or poorly received, and you think that it is worth discovering and giving a good second chance, then let me know!

Send any requests or suggestions to: gamesobscura@hotmail.com

You can also leave suggestions in the comments section, or send them to me via a PM.

Feel free to browse through all my articles; the material in them generally isn't time-sensitive, and I check comments on all of my articles, new and old!

Greetings, all, this is The Gameslinger, returning once again from the wastelands, to the small town of Destructoid.

This post is just a brief announcement post, to inform the Destructoid community and any who care that I will be returning from my 2-month absence from the C-Blogs, with new articles for my "Games Obscura" blog! I never meant to go absent, with such a large gap since my last article, but the last few months proved rather hectic and busy, and things are just settling back down again; which means more time to concentrate on Games Obscura. I'll be getting back on schedule, with more regular updates to my blog, more in-depth "Second Look At" and "Look Forward" articles, and in general more time on my blog and around the community.

So, for those who take interest, just know that I'll be around, on a regular basis, once more. Expect regular updates and new articles in the future, and keep an eye out for my newest article within the next few days. For fans of the overlooked, under-appreciated, strange and obscure side of gaming, hopefully I'll give you something to enjoy and look forward to again. It's good to be back, and I hope to see you all here at Games Obscura, and around Destructoid. See you soon.....

I actually have a very obscure game suggestion for you to look at. A game called Big Sky Trooper on SNES. So few people know what it is or why its kind of amazing.
Good to see you back. I wonder if that Burning Rangers footer means that a second look for that is incoming?
@TheKodu I've actually played Big Sky Trooper! Its been a while, but a friend of mine had it back in our Super Nintendo days, and I actually played it pretty extensively. I'll dust off a copy of it, play it again to refresh my memory, and put it near the top of my to-do list for Second Looks!

@Batthink It could.....;) Keep an eye out for it during the next few weeks, amongst my next few articles. Also, on a related note, I still have your Dark Cloud 2 suggestion in mind and am in the middle of a file that I am actually a ways into; it got put on hold a bit, considering the aforementioned hecticness of the past couple months, but with everything settling in again, I'll be getting back to actually playing games more regularly, with Dark Cloud 2 at the top of my to-play list!
Welcome back!
Hey dude, I was just leafing through your blog and, WOW, I have never heard of like any of these games. Great work, really interesting stuff!
Thanks for the welcome, Elsa!

And Locketheleisz, I'm glad you discovered my blog and appreciate my efforts. Thanks for the compliments!

To everyone, stay tuned! I'll be posting my next article later tonight, and am working on more as I speak. Thanks for the positive welcomes and suggestions!
Welcome back man!

Also, what do you mean small town? We are more like a medium sized city, maybe with a harbor?
Life happens. Good to see ya back.
Welcome back sir, now get to work word slave! TYPE DAMMIT!
Thanks once again to you all for the warm welcome back.

I'd talk more at length here, but Spencer Hayes has got that whip in his hand and is getting that enraged look in his eye again, so.....BACK TO BLOGGING! Right away, sir! Sorry, sir!
Welcome back! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the next batch :)
