I uploaded this a long time ago but forgot about it. OjVolleyball (Ojaro Volleyball?) is a simple one click game of volleyball. Made in 1998, it's a rather charming little Japanese indie game.

There's actually a YouTube video about it, which amazes me:

I have no idea how I got it, but I've had it for a long time and in the interest of preservation, here it is (it might be available on a few abandonware sites, too, but I don't want to check):

Anyone else have any really obscure-ass games lying around that they want to put up/talk about/search for?

Personally, I've always wondered if there still existed a copy of Sword of Cobalt somewhere. It was an old Klik n' Play RPG that I was rather fond of. I've actually been in contact with the creator fairly recently, but sadly, he doesn't even have it anymore.

Haha, that game is hilarious.

I suppose I could throw out a crapshot in the dark and ask if anyone has a copy of Svennes Island? It's a humorous Klik n' Play game where you play as a little green guy and jump over stuff. It came with some magazine (maybe PC Gamer) ca. 1997.
The only thing that comes up in searches is forum posts exactly like this one :/

I came in here expecting OJ Simpson Volleyball. Needless to say, I left disappointed...

The Kill-Everyone-Else-Volleyball game is over that-a way.

I'm bumping this topic because I am also looking for this game. I played it a ton in my childhood and thought it was hilarious. If anyone could find Svennes Island, it would be amazing.

Some parts I remember:
A car level where you had to jump over obstacles. If you got hit, a policeman would hold up a large fine and say "TJUGITUSEN!", after which Svenne faints. Also, you could cheat on this level by getting stuck with the car on the left edge of the screen.
A mountain level where you had to dodge bouncing boulders. If you got hit, a cutscene would show Svenne falling (really far) down the mountain and screaming in a ridiculously high-pitched voice.
I also remember that one (or a few) of the passwords for the levels were named after brands of beer.

I found it for Schoq a few months back, but I'm afraid I lost the link. If they come back to the thread they can give it to you.

@Nillo, Painting's link had expired, but I uploaded it to rapidshare and bayfiles. Both are terrible but I don't really have a better method of sharing. I'll ask a friend if he can host it so that potential future googlers can get it with less pain.

There we go. Thanks Labbed! Thanks again Painting!
