Loom may not exactly be obscure by any standard, but I don't see it being mentioned nearly as much as, say, Day of the Tentacle or Monkey Island. But it was a truly revolutionary way of reimagining the adventure game genre, and in a very early age of point-and-click. No inventory, single mouse click interaction, using spells to interact with the environment...
Of course, you'll want to play the original floppy version to get the full story; the CD-ROM version had its dialogue heavily truncated to fit onto the CD.
What's your pick?

Is Toonstruck well known? And should it be?
This isn't so much a recommendation as I've never got round to playing it, but it doesn't come up that often.
"Live Action" Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit etc.), in a cartoon world point and click adventure sounds amazing. I sort of daren't play it in case it's a let down.
I've played this game not expecting much and thinking it would be so dumb that I would end up playing it for a few minutes. In the end I completed this game in a couple of days, got stuck a few times on some of the puzzles, and quite enjoyed it. It's not the best game ever made for sure, but it's not a bad game. It's challenging at times and the jokes are funny (for the time period). I would recommend this game if you don't jump in it expecting a masterpiece.
That's cool, I'll play it sometime, sounds like it will be fun since I'm already not overhyping it
I loved Toonstruck. Christopher Lloyd being in it had me hooked before even booting it up, but it's a solid adventure. Not to mention the voice cast is phenomenal! Tim Curry is the main antagonist and Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson) is your sidekick Flux!
