Very nice list. Usually, when I see these "obscure games" lists I get away a little disappointed because I've heard about most of the games or even played a significant amount of them. Not this time, oh, no sir! About 90% of this list was completely unknown to me!

it feels good to go "I recognize that one!" when you've never heard of most of these

I was also very disappointed that lack of love didn't make it on the list

Got 4 of these on my played list (Dragon Force, Shining the Holy Arc, Dark Saviour and Eliminate Down) though I've actually played 5 as I used to play Scud Race in the arcades all the time, just not added it on my backloggd.

Interesting list. Might sometime try to play some of these games to give them attention.

Very interesting list, i only played 3 of them, gonna give a try to them all someday :D

King's Valley II might just be the best platform puzzler ever :-)
