Obscure Game Boosting Thread - titleknown - 06-16-2018
Since I'm not quite a ripper, but I do wanna contribute, I thought I might as well start a thread where we showcase obscure games with potentially rippable models. Not quite a request thread, but a showvase, so maybe folks who haven't heard of 'em might stumble upon 'em and see if they want to rip 'em.
Checking Hardcore Gaming 101 for obscure games (Since they're good at categorizing 'em), I might as well start with some of the obscurities they jogged my memory on. Deadly Creatures, that game where you play as a spider or a scorpion, seems like an excellent source of models, and given it's a Mons game (By FromSoftware no less), Lost Kingdoms and its sequel seem like they'd have loads of good ones.
That Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure seems like it might have some neat ones even if the game's basically a Kusoge, ditto for Project: Altered Beast, that weird gritty reboot of the arcade game. And, for a budget title, Splatter Master has some great models that'd be useful. And, while it wasn't on HG101, I can't forget to mention Mushroom Men, which I'm shocked nobody's done yet.
So, anyone know of any other super-obscure games with cool and potentially ripplable models?

Hate to make an example out of you here, but it sounds like you've read the rules and have a basic idea what not to do outside the request board. Nonetheless:

What you're basically saying here is:

The moment you begin to suggest games that should be ripped, is when the post becomes a request. While your initial intention is "I'm helping!" this...isn't really helping, and by satisfying a suggestion in this thread, other users will begin to dogpile and request the game they want to see, quickly turning this into a requests thread.
I'll save you the embarassment and complications that go along with it and just close the topic to prevent any further issues. Just consider this a verbal warning - no matter how you butter up a topic asking for certain titles to be ripped, you're still asking for someone to do the legwork for you and that's when it becomes a request. If you'd really like to make a request and do it the right way, you'll need to be a member for five weeks and make at least fifty posts on the VGR messageboard.
