Considering the relative age of video games as they're known today and the age of the members here, I'm pretty sure everything PSX and before can count for "old" - basically, starting from when I was just 3 years old to before then. Just leave immensely popular games like Pokemon, Legend of Zelda, and Metal Gear Solid for their respective threads.
As for obscure games, that's a bit debatable, but we'll settle for a general description. Think of it as games you hear little or nothing about from anyone else, like Indigo Prophecy or Space Griffon VF-9. It's better if you can name some old games rather than more recent ones, though.
( Main purpose of this, I guess, is for reminiscing in light of this shiteload of new games that seems to keep coming out every couple months or so. I mean, it seems like I just blinked and here all these new consoles are. And it's also to give some folks an idea of old games to check out if they've hit a stump. I dunno, you people can effectively use Youtube these days to see if you like this stuff, I wasn't so blessed. )
