Not every studio starts of right away making worldwide hits. Post earlier more forgotten titles from now famous developers. Like here Space Station Silicon Valley, a N64 platformer by DMA Design, later known as no other than Rockstar North.

Gotta pick up Blizzard 's Blackthrone someday. Love the artstyle.

Jetpac for me Speccy, by what would become Rare.

I'm O.K. - A Murder Simulator was designed by Derek Yu, and was a satirical rebuke against Jack Thompson and his campaign about violence in video games; especially Grand Theft Auto.

These days he's best known for Spelunky and UFO 50.
>>
Tom & Jerry SNES was made by the guys who later made Syndicate
It's generally considered jank but, honestly? All things consideres it's a decent platformer for western standards.

Every now and then I see some SJW stream Toby Fox's Earthbound Halloween hack and get super triggered when the word faggot gets thrown around in it lol.

Captain Claw from the studio behind FEAR, No One Lives Forever and Shadow of Mordor, among other things. Pretty cool although rather hard platformer.

Core Design's Shellshock a few months before Tomb Raider

Looks pretty cool. I dig the artstyle. You reckon it's worth checking out?

For me it's the lost vikings

I liked it, except for that one level with the infinitely respawning helicopters

They were around for a while, they also made Uniracers and Lemmings. Want to say the first GTA was still under the name DMA.

Played this one a lot on the Saturn. Hip hop urban tanks. It sucked.

This have to be the weirdest video game protagonist I've seen. A unicycle, not even anyone riding it.
>>
>>12551904
I didn't realize it at the time but my childhood friend's copy was one of only 300,000 - Pixar sued them because they had a short film with a riderless unicycle so they only did one print run. Game was dope though, slam out tricks to go fast as hell
>>
>>12551298
Ehh, not really. Though if you do decided to try it, avoid the PC version as it's very crash prone.
>>
>>12551935
300,000 don't feel that small for a random SNES game.

If it weren't for FreQuency, our landfills wouldn't be full of plastic guitars.

Naughty Dogs had a few games before they hit gold with Crash. But I'm giving shout-out to Keef the Thief simply for having likely one of the best cover-art in existence. Gameplay wise however it feels like one of those graphical adventure/rpg games that's a lot of tries and errors and map drawing.

Kinda weird it's their only pre-Warcraft property that made a playable cameo in their moba.

I'm more familiar with Lemmings. Also from DMA Design. I wouldn't call the game obscure, at least back in a days, but it's definitely a strike contrast from GTA.

The very first Bioware game before they fell for rpg pipeline.

>>12551884
Yea i know the pc version of gta atleast says DMA on it.
>>
>>12550136
Isn't this game impossible to complete due to a bug or something?
>>
>>12551935
>um actually we own.. uh.. depicting a unicycle without a rider.. actually
>>
>>12553578
it's known to be pretty buggy. there's an item that can't be collected without gameshark as its' hitbox is set to a size of 0, so 100% completion isn't possible without modification
>>
>>12551884
Also fun little fact the Big N published this game so it's one that'll help all ya'll Nintendo Boys in the house get yer peckers hard
