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.

I'm going to say Hokus Pokus Pink. It's not the greatest adventure game ever made, and its puzzles are fairly simplistic if I recall, being aimed at a younger audience. But it's got a certain weird charm to it. It's compellingly bizarre!
The writing is surprisingly good too, and the Pink Panther and his utter cluelessness about what's going on makes for a fun protagonist.
