Chromadrome 2. A PC game about simply controlling a small blob-thing speeding down a straight path with holes and other obstacles and keeping it away from them. Sorry of a precursor to mobile games such as subway surfer or whatever they are called. Never met someone who heard about it even though it made it's way onto Steam many years later.

Denver the Last Dinosaur!
I've never met anyone who knows what this is, even if I sing what I remember from the theme song.
My husband is slightly older than me and he had no idea wtf I was describing. It was a late 80s/early 90s cartoon with a green long necked Dinosaur with sunglasses that performed in a band.
I had to YouTube the theme song to make him believe it was real.
Not really a particular piece of media, but I saw an artist on twitter that made anime style art but with a Tex Avery twist, it's very strange seeing it but it intrigued me so much.
Warning though some of it is NSFW: https://twitter.com/acrylictoon

Slashers (2001) is a fairly unknown horror / comedy from the heyday of video stores. I rented it on a marathon weekend with my old movie crew and it instantly became a favorite. The "Slashers, super-fun!!" theme song is likely problematic at this point but I still find myself and the few remaining folks from that crew saying it at random when we get together.
Outside of that group though, I've never met another human that's seen it. Albeit I'm not usually proselytizing about it like a weirdo... usually. Maybe at next year's horror-con I'll start.
I remember playing a game with my friend as a kid. I think it was around windows 95. You were a Mafioso and you could pick one of three businesses, one was a blow up doll factory. You had to plan heists by buying escape vehicles, such as tandem bikes, cars anong other things. I found it funny that only 2 people could escape in a transporter, because it had only 2 seats. The main goal i think was to steal from the comically large vault of the main mafia boss via submarine. My memory is very hazy, don't remember the name or anything else, but it was super fun.
Was it Mob Rule? I didn't play it enough to remember specifics, but it was from that era and had a distinct, blobby character design.
ZZT, I think the game that completes "Ready Player One" is loosely referencing it.
Edit: Holy cow, I had no idea

OK I'll have to go harder. Jet Set Willy or Reptilion
