First item on the list: "Elder Scrolls series? This is ridiculous, I know all of the titles in the entire series. Joke's on you, Outside Xbox." Turns out I did not know all the titles in the series. And the joke was on me.
I now know all the titles. Elder Scrolls V for PC, Elder Scrolls V for PS3/4/5, Switch and Xbox, Elder Scrolls V for Alexa, Elder Scrolls V board game, and the game they talked about here.
Me too! It was a pretty good time-filler on a bus journey, from what I remember. Didn't stray too far from the original, visually, within mobile limits, and even had a half-decent story. One of the better mobile spinoff offerings.
As strange as the novels? Because the novels had the disembodied souls of the protagonists teaching the demons religion, the male lead talking to an imaginary Martian and a Mormon guerilla hacker girl.
@@peterkaplar1660 There were four tie-in novels by Daffyd ap Hugh (who also wrote a bunch of Star Trek tie-ins). The first one was a straight retelling of the very minimal plot of the game, only with a second protagonist. The second one was an adaptation of Doom 2 where Salt Lake City was the last bastion of human resistance. The last two....I get the feeling the authors had no oversight at that point and just put down whatever came into their heads.
I feel PSP's Metal Gear Ac!d would be a strong contender for this list. It was a turn based card game. Konami released 2 other PSP MGS games, which were the traditional action/stealth games the series is known for. Acid wasn't a bad card game, it was just odd.
I played doom rpg. Matter of fact, i still have my flip phone its installed on, along with several other dungeon-crawl conversions. They were pretty fun.
Yep, also played them, both Doom games and the Wolfenstein game. Honestly, even if they were obscure, they were quite good, and I'd play them again if they were still playable
I've heard of Uncharted: Fight for Fortune solely because I played Golden Abyss and those card upgrades were also tied to earning most of the collectible trophies in the game.
Please tell me it's a short version of the game, cause playing the whole game by voice would take an entire lifetime and you might become a Greek poet in playing it.
You can still play it on Android by getting an app called J2ME Loader and getting the game file from somewhere online. I play it every so often even now and it's still fun though a lot more difficult than I remember when I first played it.
I loved Doom RPG! I got it on my Samsung Rogue back in like 2008ish and used to play the shit out of it. I don't think I ever beat it, it was actually quite difficult, but still remember being pleasantly surprised how good it was.

Spyro has had his share of mobile games so obscure that the only information you can find on them is on the wiki. One of them happens to take place after Shadow Legacy, the otherwise latest entry in the original continuity.
You know when you think about it, that Zelda game was in a way not only the first Episodic game, but the first live streamed game AND Online service for a game. Really neat considering the limitations of the time (Especially since it would be a long while before internet was a far higher quality).
I thought that! Could you imagine just how awesome that could potentially turn out? It was way ahead of its time back then, but the technology seems near perfect to do something like that on a much bigger scale right now!
I've heard of Doom RPG and Mass Effect Galaxy but this is the first time I've heard of the other games featured on this list. Also a obscure sequel that most people never heard of is Silent Hill Book of Memories for the PSV.
DOOM RPG was a great game, really loved it. Wolfenstein RPG was also pretty great. the story in both games were solid as well, you could tell a lot of effort was put into those projects.
There’s another IOS Mass Effect spin off called Mass Effect: Infiltrator, where you play as a Cereberus agent that turns against them. It had a simplified version of the gameplay of the main series. Plus after completing it you could connect it to Mass Effect 3 in order to add to your war assets.
Got to say I'm impressed. I'd actually never heard of any of these, which usually doesn't happen on "obscure games" lists. Kudos to whoever all was involved in research on this one.
Thank you, I've now looked up to see if anime bodypillows of Chronicles of Narnia characters exist. (Spoilers: No, but I say that with only 50% certainty.)
_Doom RPG_ was great. I had it on my first cell phone and played it constantly. Found every secret. There's even a reference to it in _Doom Eternal._ I wish there was a way to play it again.
For that Mario sewing game, I think Nintendo also did a collaboration with singer for a machine that was controlled by the game boy. It was called the Singer Izek, and from what I understand, it came packaged with a game boy and ran a few sewing programs, including the Mario embroidery one. I’ve heard it’s actually supposed to be a pretty good machine.
Wow, great job OX I've never heard of any of these. Also, back in the day I remember during school passing by someone who actually had an Ngage, it was the first and only time I saw one irl.
who remembers - trials frontier, ubisoft just dropped support of this game but is still on store (thank god), i've gave many hours to it, it is one of the games on which i've put up a good progress trials frontier was a mobile spinoff in the franchise launced along side trials fusion (it even had an outfit which you earn if you own trials fusion)
The Pokemon mystery dungeon rescue squad games, some Japan only wiiware titles in the mystery dungeon series that lacked the story and well anything that made the series great.
Mega Man for the PC could have made this list. It was effectively a fan game that Capcom bought. It introduced elements that would ge used in later Mega Man games such as a introduced stage where you fight a robotic guard dog, & areas in a stage where you can freely move up and down (where traditionally going up or down meant a screen transition). It did only have three robot masters though.
The Elder Scrolls: Blades wasn't mentioned in this video, and that's a shame. It's an Elder Scrolls game for mobile phones. It's literally the closest thing to a Elder Scrolls Travels title, instead Skyrim was used.
@@BJGvideos Yeah I know, both are on the Switch, but Blades was originally made for smartphones, not the Switch. Skyrim was made for consoles, not mobile. But Blades was originally a mobile game, and regardless where you play it, it will always be classified as a mobile game, hence why it fits the Travels branding of older Elder Scrolls mobile games.
I genuinely wonder how they research for videos like this - especially when dealing with things like "games you've probably never heard of". Props to the team!
Speaking of Mass Effect: Galaxy, anyone remember the slightly less obscure but still also now impossible to actually play and, importantly, fully 3D Mass Effect: Infiltrator? They could have at least thrown that in as bonus content for Legendary Edition.
Games that appear in the video: 1:09 Elder Scrolls Travel Stronghold | Elder Scrolls Travel Dawnstar (Java games) 1:52 Elder Scrolls Travel Shadowkey (Nokia N-gage) 3:31 Mario Sewing Game 3:55 I am a teacher - Super Mario no Sweater 4:18 Mario Family (Game Boy Color) 6:28 Mass Effect Galaxy (iPhone) 8:42 Street Fighter 2 - The Interactive Movie (exclus. Japan - Playstation, Sega Saturn) 11:25 Legend of Zelda Ancient Stone Tablets (Sitella View) 15:06 Doom RPG (Java game) 17:23 Uncharted Fight for Fortune (Playstation Vita)
That Mario sewing machine was aquired by Retro Future, the YT channel. Iirc he may not have the game, but it's interesting content - plus he helped popularize modded backlit GBAs, GBCs, and DMG original GBs. Fun stuff!
Remember that awful Wii game, CID the Dummy? It got a sequel simply titled Crash Dummy (horrible name by the way) for iOS in late 2011, and got a Steam rerelease in early 2017 in early access, before officially releasing on March 1, 2019. It's somehow even worse than CID the Dummy!
That Street Fighter movie thing looks *AWESOME!* Why was THAT a Japanese exclusive?! They even got the awesome guitar for the intro! Because the movie was a separate project from whatever this thing had been tacked onto. 13:40 never have I ever seen a cuter redhead heroine in pixel art format...than THAT! Thank you for preserving and subsequently sharing such a gem.
Not as obscure as the Game Gear Double Dragon or Wander of the Dragons. Or the brilliant Zeebo game, which may be the best version of the original ever made. And it can't be played at all anymore, unless you buy a console with the game downloaded to the hard drive.
I was expecting Mass Effect: Infiltrator to be the mass effect entry. I've literally only ever seen screen shots of the email conversations. I don't even think it'll run on recent OS/IOS. Which is a shame, because it's worth a release just to have Garrus email me "It's late, just got up for some water. You're still asleep. Just wanted to tell you how beautiful I think you are. Love you, G." Because I deserve it, tbh.
Love that Doom music, used to have a cover band called "Sega Don't Sue Us!" Where we transformed video game songs into full live sets. Dooms first levels, Sonics fast night zone, Street fighter etc... so much fun
I never thought i'd heard anyone mention Doom RPG again. That game is what got me into Doom. Imagine when i found out the actual Doom is a run and gun action game instead of a dungeon crawl 😂
No wonder I never knew about those Mario and that Legend of Zelda games, they were only released in japan, which is a shame because I definitely would have liked to play that Legend of Zelda one :(
These games are like the deep-sea bioluminescent fish you start finding when you’ve gone too deep into a video-game’s wiki

That pat sound effect when using the axe on those monsters in the mobile Doom game, lol! They just easily crumbled apart.
I gotta admit that the Level Up sound from the Doom RPG is pretty dope.
_Doom RPG_ was great. I had it on my first cell phone and played it constantly. Found every secret. There's even a reference to it in _Doom Eternal._ I wish there was a way to play it again.
You know that java emulators are still a thing, right?
@@SkyRied1 Yeah, but I have no idea where to get one or how to set it up.
CZcams keeps deleting my comentaries so if you have Discord or something, I could teach you how to set it up.
@@SkyRied1 I don't have Discord, unfortunately. I'm on Steam if you want to chat through Steam's messenger.
Sure, what's your Steam?
Oooh! A future video titled “Massive Franchises that made forgettable mobile games” feels inevitable now!
I feel Hitman 2015 would be on that list
@@falconeshield that’s... not even a mobile game and is extremely popular?
The Doom RPG actually rocks. I played that as a kid along side Orcs And Elves. Those games are awesome.
For that Mario sewing game, I think Nintendo also did a collaboration with singer for a machine that was controlled by the game boy. It was called the Singer Izek, and from what I understand, it came packaged with a game boy and ran a few sewing programs, including the Mario embroidery one. I’ve heard it’s actually supposed to be a pretty good machine.
Wow, great job OX I've never heard of any of these. Also, back in the day I remember during school passing by someone who actually had an Ngage, it was the first and only time I saw one irl.
If they released a doom rpg on phones now a days I would totally play it.
"Yes, I see... Kicking. Writing this down!" I LOL'ed!!! 😂😂😂
who remembers - trials frontier, ubisoft just dropped support of this game but is still on store (thank god), i've gave many hours to it, it is one of the games on which i've put up a good progress
trials frontier was a mobile spinoff in the franchise launced along side trials fusion (it even had an outfit which you earn if you own trials fusion)
At this point, gaming on CZcams is seldom able to surprise me with lists like this, but I've only heard of about half of these. Well done, guys.👍
they're one of the best.
The Pokemon mystery dungeon rescue squad games, some Japan only wiiware titles in the mystery dungeon series that lacked the story and well anything that made the series great.
Mega Man for the PC could have made this list. It was effectively a fan game that Capcom bought. It introduced elements that would ge used in later Mega Man games such as a introduced stage where you fight a robotic guard dog, & areas in a stage where you can freely move up and down (where traditionally going up or down meant a screen transition). It did only have three robot masters though.
Glad we agree that Raul Julia made that movie a masterpiece.
"OF COURSE!"
The Elder Scrolls: Blades wasn't mentioned in this video, and that's a shame. It's an Elder Scrolls game for mobile phones.
It's literally the closest thing to a Elder Scrolls Travels title, instead Skyrim was used.
Yeah but that at least got a Switch reissue
@@BJGvideos Yeah I know, both are on the Switch, but Blades was originally made for smartphones, not the Switch. Skyrim was made for consoles, not mobile. But Blades was originally a mobile game, and regardless where you play it, it will always be classified as a mobile game, hence why it fits the Travels branding of older Elder Scrolls mobile games.
@@steveo1131 Yeah, but the issue here is absolute obscurity.
I genuinely wonder how they research for videos like this - especially when dealing with things like "games you've probably never heard of". Props to the team!
The fact that the "embroid'em up" isn't getting more attention is criminal.
I had an Ngage. The QD though, not the "hold sideways on your head to talk" version. I'm not a savage.
Anime body pillows of C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia characters actually sounds more appealing than some of these games.
I know right
Is the Caspian one already taken??
You dare blasphemize the book series with this muck?!
@@michaelandreipalon359 C.S Lewis would want me to have a Prince Caspian bodypillow. He told me himself don’t look it up
Dufflepud body pillow, sign me up.
I said awww out loud at the reminder the N-Gage ever existed
Like as in 'Awww that's so cute.' Or 'Awww, hell no!'
same.
I have Doom RPG on one of my old touch screen phones. It was awesome and re-playable, where your stats carried over.
Speaking of Mass Effect: Galaxy, anyone remember the slightly less obscure but still also now impossible to actually play and, importantly, fully 3D Mass Effect: Infiltrator? They could have at least thrown that in as bonus content for Legendary Edition.
Didn’t it contribute to galactic readiness in ME3?
@@Damien_N Yeah, war assets as well.
@@Damien_N Yes, if I remember correctly.
Games that appear in the video:
1:09 Elder Scrolls Travel Stronghold | Elder Scrolls Travel Dawnstar (Java games)
1:52 Elder Scrolls Travel Shadowkey (Nokia N-gage)
3:31 Mario Sewing Game
3:55 I am a teacher - Super Mario no Sweater
4:18 Mario Family (Game Boy Color)
6:28 Mass Effect Galaxy (iPhone)

11:25 Legend of Zelda Ancient Stone Tablets (Sitella View)
15:06 Doom RPG (Java game)
17:23 Uncharted Fight for Fortune (Playstation Vita)
I think Alien: Blackout for the IOS and android would've been a perfect fit for this list! I'm surprised it isn't on there.
"Dongers" totally made me laugh
That Mario sewing machine was aquired by Retro Future, the YT channel. Iirc he may not have the game, but it's interesting content - plus he helped popularize modded backlit GBAs, GBCs, and DMG original GBs. Fun stuff!
Remember that awful Wii game, CID the Dummy?
It got a sequel simply titled Crash Dummy (horrible name by the way) for iOS in late 2011, and got a Steam rerelease in early 2017 in early access, before officially releasing on March 1, 2019.
It's somehow even worse than CID the Dummy!
You want Mario and Wario to kiss, Jane? There something you need to share with us?
Ok can we agree that the level up music in that DOOM mobile game is excellent.
Also on Mass Effect, there was Mass Effect: Infiltrator. By the time I heard of it, it was discontinued for quite a while.
It was actually pretty decent, imo
sequels to forgets: c&c rivals, dungeon keeper, final fantasy, and diablo immortal on mobile
C&C 4, for that matter.
Agents of mayhem? Its a saints Row spinoff that isn't well know at all
@@rarelyused3 nah it was just quickly forgotten because it was just as garbage as Crackdown 3
Biggest take away from this for me is now I have to listen to the Doom Soundtrack.
Do yourself a favour and find a copy of Dark Side of Phobos
Okamiden, an adorable sequel to Okami that nobody knew about. That's got to be one of my favourite secrets.
I actually HAD Okamiden on my DS for a while! It's a pretty fun game actually!
That Street Fighter movie thing looks *AWESOME!* Why was THAT a Japanese exclusive?! They even got the awesome guitar for the intro!
Because the movie was a separate project from whatever this thing had been tacked onto.
13:40 never have I ever seen a cuter redhead heroine in pixel art format...than THAT! Thank you for preserving and subsequently sharing such a gem.
What about Double Dragon (Neo-Geo) a.k.a. Double Dragon: The Movie: The Game. It was actually pretty good.
Not as obscure as the Game Gear Double Dragon or Wander of the Dragons.
Or the brilliant Zeebo game, which may be the best version of the original ever made.
And it can't be played at all anymore, unless you buy a console with the game downloaded to the hard drive.
everybody is now frantically searching for Super Mario knitting patterns so their mums can get a sweater done by Christmas
I can't get over that Doom RPG axe sound effect.
*Bap*
I was expecting Mass Effect: Infiltrator to be the mass effect entry. I've literally only ever seen screen shots of the email conversations. I don't even think it'll run on recent OS/IOS.
Which is a shame, because it's worth a release just to have Garrus email me "It's late, just got up for some water. You're still asleep. Just wanted to tell you how beautiful I think you are. Love you, G."
Because I deserve it, tbh.
I loved my old ngage even if it was pretty shit...
I can respect that.
If it wasn't doing a goatse pose, i'm sure it'd be less shitty.
I hope Chess 2 is on here
2014 was a very interesting year
Not a good year though
Chess 2: the revenge
Love that Doom music, used to have a cover band called "Sega Don't Sue Us!" Where we transformed video game songs into full live sets. Dooms first levels, Sonics fast night zone, Street fighter etc... so much fun
Seeing the uncharted CCG reminded me of the MGS tactical/card game spinoff, Metal Gear Acid 1 & 2 on the PSP. I miss those.
How about obscure levels built inside video games.
For example, every video game ever created has a cow level 🐮.
that's mootiful :D
Uncharted: Fight for Fortune was a magnificent game
I never thought i'd heard anyone mention Doom RPG again. That game is what got me into Doom. Imagine when i found out the actual Doom is a run and gun action game instead of a dungeon crawl 😂
No wonder I never knew about those Mario and that Legend of Zelda games, they were only released in japan, which is a shame because I definitely would have liked to play that Legend of Zelda one :(
