Fairly obscure text adventure about a fictional condition akin to miner's lung. I sincerely hope someone has played something more obscure cause it would be kind of anticlimactic to just win from the outset

@Bells damn, already took the lead from me. Admittedly Sapphire Lung benefitted from my review, which got some mutuals to wishlist/play it. Fair play though
The least popular games I've played are as follows: Ewoks and the Dandelion Warriors: 1 play, Supremacy MMA: Unrestricted: 1 play, Droids: The White Witch: 1 play, Star Wars: Droids - The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO: 2 plays, and World Championship Boxing Manager 2: 3 plays.
For me it's a tie between 6 games, all of which only I have logged here:
1. Starlight Inception
2. Pro Soccer Cup 2002
3. Dead by Death
4. Aerial Antics
5. Silkolene Honda Motocross GP
I'm pretty sure there are many more obscure shareware games from the early 2000s that just aren't on this website. So this list will keep expanding.

Oh wait I'm dumb, its in descending order, Clearin takes the lead. @Kago Popularity also takes wishlists and backlogs into account, I'm assuming Ewoks shows up first when sorted by popularity?
Ballistic Zen, ironic since you were the one to recommend it to me.
I have never heard anyone else talk about the Tiger Electronics Crash Bandicoot. It felt like something I made up as a kid until I looked it up a few years back.
I missed one:
6. Atomic Cannon

@molochthagod what does backloggd say is the least popular though, there is actually some kinda tiebreaker via some combination of wishlists, backlogs and page views it seems
Tiny Arcade: Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga and New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe: Spot the Difference
@LordDarias Yes, but Supremacy MMA: Unrestricted and Droids: The White Witch take the cake, I am the only one to have played them, there are 0 wishlists or backlogs, and there are only 2 lists on each of them, 1 on both being a list I made.
tough trucks: modified monsters
i have it in 3 of my lists which is more than the amount of plays it has which is kinda funny

@LordDarias oh in that case it's Starlight Inception. I didn't realize the site counts views and wishlists.
Billiards by A1 Games, fine makers of Shooter Starfighter Sanvein.
Surprised (somewhat) by two and three being Sports Talk Baseball and Akira Psycho Ball respectively. Would've thought they'd be higher than some of the weirdo rom hacks I've played, but maybe my sense of popularity is skewed.

I am the only person who has played Neighbor Fight, one of the most revolutionary games to shake up the multiplayer space.
From the games I have logged, that title seems to go to No Rest for the Wicked; I probably have played something that even I have forgotten about at some point, but from what I've added here and can recall, it has to be that one.
I had to add Frigate to IMDB myself. On the plus side, you can play it right in your browser on archive dot org. Great list idea!
anyone else playing board game compilations on the gizmondo or is it just me
Games only I've played with no other states (lists, backlogs, wishlists, reviews, etc.):
-Marine Boy
-Pioneer Balloon
-Macho Mouse
-Amnork
-Zenith
-DIRES: Giger Loop
-Madou Run
-Runner's High
Games with no other plays/stats but are on my IGDB edits list (or will be soon):
-Gutchan Bank
-Beluga: Kamikaze Aircraft Carrier
-AZURE
-Youjuu Kikou-hei WerDragon
Feel free to make these additions more popular or something, it'll just add to the irony.

I'm one of three people on this site who have "played" Tonic Trouble for the Game Boy Color. I'm probably overly mean to it in my review since it's effectively just a Rayman-esque shovelware platformer for the Game Boy, but it's impressive in its own little fucked up way.
Very unique idea!
The most obscure game I've played according to the site is quite literally called Sisyphus and only one other person marked it as played. This free-to-play puzzle platformer on Steam isn't particularly enjoyable, but I played it for the name alone lol.

Weirdly enough the least popular game I've played was arcadian atlas an indie-FFT-like I did not expect at all once I sorted my games played. Only 4 other people played it seems. I expected an RTS or some obscure ps1 game I played long ago lol
Game: OVO
DLC: Blaster Master Zero 2: Kanna Raising Simulator
Bundle: Sonic Ultimate Steam Bundle

Mine is Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, making me one of the fifty people that played and logged it on this site. Weirdly less popular than FlatOut Head On and Nightshade (2003). Seeing Cruis’n Blast (on switch) and Persona 3 The Answer very low in popularity was a bit surprising.
I have a two-way tie. Bomber is a Bomberman clone included in one of those AtGames Genesis consoles. Keep in mind, I haven't played any actual Bomberman games. The second is Star Wars: Republic Squadron, a plug n' play game I still have. It's honestly alright from my memory.
I'm surprised mine is Super Albatross of all games...
Poker Face Paul's Gin and Poker Face Paul's Poker on Game Gear, lol.
Also, a fuckton of singular Action 52 games like Star Evil and Micro Mike.
