Lots of those are awesome! Also I remember that Bomberman clone, it was amazing for basic. :)

Btw, sad fact about the Paper Plane game mentionned above: it was started by Deus Makina 2010 somewhere in 2002 or 2003, who was friend with another french guy, Pacha, who was part of the TIFT back in the days, but Deus commited suicide in September 2003 and Pacha promised himself that he would finish the game in memory of his friend. The original forum about this suffered data loss during its move on yAronet so the topic is gone, but there are some news available, like here http://www.ti83plus.online.fr/news.php?id=218

Yeah that one seems to be forgotten often. People know there's a 68K one but forget there's a z80 one.

I've noticed how there are a lot of fun games out there, but they are so obscure that very few people seem to notice them.  This is a thread to mention some games that you like, but not many people know about.  I'll start with three fun, but semi-obscure games. :)

Paper Plane - A wonderful game in which you fly your plane towards the ground, hoping to avoid the obstructions.

Sky - Another fun game, in which you must walk on all the tiles to advance to the next level.
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/378/37816.html

Rattle Snake - One of my favorite snake games of all time.  It has a Campaign Mode that is wonderful.
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/410/41080.html

Alright, so, what are some other obscure gems? ;D

Indeed there are lots of great games that due to lack of advertisement never get featured and sometimes their titles are not attractive and people don't download them.

Great find, though.

Hmm this seems mostly like a maze. Is there any sort of twist? Is it actually a platformer?

It's hard to explain.  Basically, there are 6 levels that are completely different.  You have to beat them all in order to beat the game.  I wouldn't call it a platformer, but there are some levels that are like platforming. :)

AH ok, I just wondered how the game was played, because to me, all it seems to be is just another home screen maze with nothing special added. THis is why I've been wondering about the features added.

Talking about mazes, that one seems kinda cool too, since it has scrolling: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/434/43403.html

Kalan_vod made one several years ago, though.
