What are some low budget titles that you enjoyed? (programming.dev)

I recently replayed Tom & Jerry for the PS1, a game that is clearly low budget but still is still fun to play, especially when playing against someone else.

This being the retrogaming community, I expect to hear about games up to the 360/PS3 era 😁

Growing up, I had a lot of fun playing Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster’s Hidden Treasure.

It was a 2D platformer game, probably one in a million back then, but i really enjoyed it.

Here’s some gameplay.

As a Konami game, I don't think it could be considered low budget back then. Though I guess my question can be interpreted as "the game was cheap" :P

Ya, you’re probably right. I guess “obscure” would be more fitting. It wasn’t even my game - there was one other household in my small town that had a Genesis and we traded games.

I don't think obscure would fit better. Another poster mentioned some Cartoon Network PS2 titles, which I doubt would count as obscure, same for most other tie-ins.
