Bert Higgins: The Man From H.E.L.L.

Best name ever, which makes it doubly funny that nobody's ever heard of it.

Here are the rankings thus far:

1st: Marko's Magic Soccer Ball
2nd: Stunt Car Racer Turbo
3rd: Bert Higgins: The Man From H.E.L.L.

You still have 13 hours to submit games, so keep plugging away!

And yes, it's an actual prize that will be shipped to you, so it might be worth it.

Wrecked. A psychadelic platform game that nominally pretended to be an anti-drugs title, but really had you necking magic mushrooms and heroin for power-ups, and telling you at the end how long you'd be in jail for the stash you'd collected.

What how come Bounty Bob isn't in the top 3?

If you want an obscure Star Wars parody how about...

La Guerra de las Vajillas?

And how about...

Blackbeard?

There are more obscure official titles on the C64/Speccy than any other platform!

Haunted House.
A text adventure I found on a covermounted CD once (and can post as proof) so obscure that nobody has any information about this particular game with that title available online. It is not the one in the IF archive (it's much, much worse).
