I bought a physical copy of it off Mercari like a year ago complete and in great shape for about $12 USD. Very fun game.
Although I'm not sure if it's obscure enough for this thread... I'm fond of Obscure (xD).
It's a survival horror from 2004. Similar to Resident Evil Code Veronica, it makes you explore a highschool filled with monsters and puzzle with a team of teenagers looking for their missing friend.
Each character has a special ability useful on either battle or exploration (Ashley does double-attacks, Josh can detect unpicked items, the bad boy can pinlock, Kenny runs faster than anyone, etc).
The has many lovable aspects... the music eery yet mystifying, the scenarios are well done and some parts (like darkened windows) can be destroyed to get advantage against creatures, the story and characters are great and you can play with a friend in co-op.
I have yet to play the sequel, Obscure 2, but since I heard it sucks in many areas, I'm postponing it.
===============================
Let's continue with another: Trauma Center (DS, 2005)
Half surgeon simulator (with some scify elements), half visual novel... a hard yet gratifying game.
I remember playing it at night, hidden under the covers so my parents wouldn't realize I wasn't sleeping in school nights.
The game had a sequel for DS, a remake for Wii and two sequels/spinoffs also for Wii (better graphics, worse controls).
Then Atlus killed the franchise, probably due to low sales I wish they had at least tried to release a new entry for 3DS...
==============================
Ok, a last one: Tzar for PC.
A Bulgarian RTS from 2000. Nice midi music and 2D graphics, plus historic or fictional campaigns with dubbed sections...
It's a nice game, although the gameplay isn't very balanced and has some bugs here and there...
Some guys recently created an online version for browsers with many QoL improvements, if you're interested on trying it https://tza.red/

Not many people played it maybe. Its Ghost Trick. Finally coming to switch though,. Very excited.
There's a mobile roguelite called Caves, avaible for Android (i don't think it is for iPhone), that most closely resembles a traditional roguelike for me.
It's turn based and has pretty cool pixelated graphics, 16bit style. It is a really good game for mobile phones, i wish the devs would made a PC port.

This was going to be my answer too - but I own a boxed complete SFC cart, so I run it natively. It's the third game in the series after Alien Crush (PCE/TG16) and Devils Crush/Crash (PCE/TG16/MD and the localized 'Dragons Fury' Genesis/MD release) and was followed by the equally obscure Kyu Ten Kai Fantastic Pinball on Playstation 1.
All great, but the MD release of Devil Crash specifically is still my favourite.
Killer7(I dunno if this is really obscure but more like underrated.), The Adventures of Cookie and Cream
oh and doki demo issyo - i wish there was an english port of that game.

Crown Trick, though it's not all that obscure now that I think about it... Definitely underrated, though
Sonic 4 Windows Phone version.
Why? It looks and feels like a GBA game so that's why it's so good, in my opinion! Wii also has two versions similar to it; Beta and Prototype. Both of them also play a lot faster and better than the final game (which felt very sluggish and glossy for some reason).

Okami has been released in many different platforms. It was a commercial failure but not exactly obscure. In fact, I dare say it's artistic design is unparallel in Ps2.
Despite the remasters (having played both the original and remasters) the amount of attention spent to the game by the public simplely leads me to believe it's still obscure.
Not many people I know also know Okami.
