Napalm sticks to riggers
>What is this?
This is exactly how it sounds: A game is chosen each month (which will be relatively or totally obscure on purpose) with hopes of bringing new avenues of playing potential to anons with narrow video game perspectives. The goal isn't necessarily to pick bad games, but obscure ones nobody, or as few people as possible, have played. You can play the game and then use that fact as bragging rights to others! You can use it to broaden your backlog horizons! or you can forget about it. It's up to you.
THIS MONTH:
Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand (Konami / Kojima ARPG) (GBA). The unique aspect of this title is the inclusion of a chip in the cartrdige that reads the amount of sunlight (or any other strong light source, really) that is directly tied into the game mechanics.

Alternatively, if you want slightly more immersion than just using cheat codes, use an unpatched rom and follow this tutorial:

>A sun sensor? How in the gatdamn do I even emulate this crap?
Apparently some pious soul has patched in a cheat code to simulate the act of holding the GBA under a light source. Bit of a shame, really, screaming SUNLIGHT and holding it up in the air sounds much funnier than just letting a button charge a meter for you, but there's that.
GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE GotMs:
Poll for MONTH YEAR: [removed]
SEE FOLLOW UP POST FOR INFO
If you do not like any of the games in the poll, you can either add a new entry manually, or reply to the OP with a different suggestion. Don't come crying to me if you don't like the game, blame democracy.
If you DO suggest a game though, please, report all relevant information on the game (magnet/dl link, interesting mods, guides, tutorials on tech, speedrun etc.).
Feel free to suggest any and every game you can think of, bonus points if it's games that barely anyone has played or talks about in the [Current Year] or that fit the month thematically. However, try and follow these rules:
1) No game that relies on modern hardware. If the game cannot be pirated or emulated properly, or no working emulator for the game exists, most people won't be able to enjoy it, rendering the thread kind of pointless;
2) No always-online games, meaning no live service games or mobile games that are dependent on external servers, unless a backup instance of said servers has been created by its fans or the offline content is significantly larger than the online content;
3) For multiplayer games, provide only free to play games that let players create their own servers, or games with local multiplayer that can be set up to play online (requires someone to be a hostfag, or, and may Allah forgive me for uttering these words, using Parsec);
4) No game that requires gimmicky controls to be enjoyable (guitar pedals, Wiimotes, cameras etc.) unless they can be easily remapped or translated into some other control scheme.
