Most obscure game shows

I remembered someone once posted a contestant montage featuring a guy who was on both Designated Hitter and ESPN's Perfect Match. After doing a little digging, I found the clip. His name is Billy Baker, and he made the rounds on quite a few mid-90s cable game shows.

What about ESPN Trivial Pursuit, which lasted a week on (you guessed it) ESPN in 2004?

You really don't. :) This aired on "America One" here in the states; a 'packager' (for lack of a better term) to smaller, UHF-powered stations. I wanted to punch the host, the contestants were idiots, and I rarely saw someone make it to the prize level (level 10, I believe), let alone try for the million.
A show that is somewhat obscure was one hosted by Greg Lee. I think it was called Nitro! and aired on some station that aired two-hour chunks of various, obscure cable channels. I remember the set featured a beat-up car on it and the bonus round was played for a TV.

There were a couple in the 2000s as well. That one, along with Teammates, which was basically The Newlywed Game with (wait for it), professional teammates. The 2000s were kinder by allowing 2-Minute Drill and Stump the Schwab to get a couple of seasons.
MTV's had a few obscure ones as well...one that comes to mind is Kidnapped c. 2002, which was actually a pretty fun show.
