The file archive at Demu.org had finally moved to the Classic PC Games at archive.org. It is now possible to browse games by various criteria, including year of release and developer/publisher, but thumbnail view is no longer available.

The original Demu.org website is now primarily focused on game research.

Naaaa naaaa, not só obscure, old, yes, but that's not the same as obscure, they were all kinda known in their time.
Forgotten now mayhaps, but obscure ...???? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa ...

OTOH, "obscure" makes for a good keyword to use when looking for something interesting

Retrospec

Retrospec are a team of coders, graphics artists and computer musicians who have gathered together (and are grooving in a cave with a Pict? - Ed.) to bring you the best remakes of old 8 bit games and new original games with a decidedly retro feel that we can. We meet here in the clubhouse - a remarkable building with rooms on at least 5 planets (and a cosmic toilet, baby!)
