Didn't mean to drag this on for this long unattended but was busy the whole day. Would have accepted KrisPy's MUGEN as an answer if nobody got it in the end, but that it is indeed from Salty Bet (which is based on AI MUGEN battles, but the actual (meta)game is a whole thing of its own), so it's over to you!

Seeing the odds and money screen made me think it was some kind of online match betting platform, so some searching down that route led me to Salty Bet. I immediately bookmarked it and can see myself spending some time watching those matches, if for nothing else to just appreciate the gorgeous spritework and amusing absurdity of it all. :)
Incoming screen coming shortly...

Apologies for the tardiness in updates recently.
I noticed I missed Agaster's crossing of the century mark on the new scoreboard! In celebration, a giveaway...
Edit: I forgot to add, this gif is the active Guess The Game post, so if you know what game it is feel free to post the answer here and collect your point (there are already correct answers in the giveaway puzzle, so I know some of you already know... y'know?)
Comment has been collapsed.
Correct!
I'll probably post a couple reminders for the giveaway as the thread continues on, so it's better for the game to continue on. :)

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System ?
Guessing blindly, but don't want to let the thread die on a whimper
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep. I knew that last image would give it away.
It was a 2003 game released by LucasArts and designed in part by Lawrence Holland, who also worked on the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series. I thought at the time, "Cool! TIE Fighter set in WW2!" It turned out to be more of an arcade flight shooter and less of a full on sim (because CONSOLES), but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
And yes, you can unlock X-Wings and TIEs in it.

Wasn't familiar with the game but recognised the Spitfire reference and figured the TIE fighter would be an easter egg or something.

Nope. Added second image.
Hint: The graphics are not a gimmick, they were cutting edge for the time. This game is not available on Steam, however a very different take on this title was released almost exactly 20 years later, and that latter game is on Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope.
To be clear: the Steam version is a completely different game, not a remastered/repackaged/updated version of this one. It's a different adaptation of the same source material.

Hint: think more zombie and less terminator :)

Since Banana skipped I'll give this a try.

Hint 1: Point & click. On Steam.
Hint 2: Based on a series of books which are based on a real person.

Well, what the heck is that supposed to be?
In the end it's Garry's Mod or something...

Nicolas Eymerich - The Inquisitor Book 1 : The Plague
This was actually my first guess for this when you posted the first image, but I didn't even bother posting because I thought it was probably wrong. The other images/hints confirmed it, though :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure is, I just didn't this time for whatever reason, but it worked out in the end! I liked how you borrowed the first image from our own SleepyCat. I wouldn't call this title obscure, though. It's been bundled five times, so that means I've seen it given away lots here, too :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, guess that proves that just because it gets into a lot of libraries because of bundles, doesn't automatically mean many people actually know the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
You know, it's funny how you emphasised the knowing bit here, because I first intuited (in a subconscious manner) that it could be this game without being able to tell you the explicit reason. I was broadly familiar with this title from the Steam page and screenshots after seeing it being given away, but that was the extent of my knowledge of it. It was a true gut reaction in this sense, like a feeling based on some amalgam of vague imagery and loose concepts that were semi-activated when presented with Fet's visual stimulus, just sort of lingering there without really breaking through to proclaim "yep, this is the one". I think this may be why I just dismissed the hunch in the beginning. It was only later when presented with further information that I acted on the intuition and made an effort to corroborate the initial feeling. All of this is to say that... well, memory is strange sometimes. None of this is to take away from your point though, I just felt compelled to share and bore everyone to tears with my rambling account. You can carry on with your lives now...

I believe multiple guesses are allowed.
Come on, you know I guessed right :D, that's a recruitable(tamable - forgot the name) flying squirrel and the guy in cape is clive.

I know this one its Star Control. Damn i miss this game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually, it is Star Control 2 : The Ur-Quan Masters but it is close enough.
One of the best games ever made, in my opinion.
Your turn :)
Comment has been collapsed.
How did I fail to recognise that ?
Also, hoping the Star Control: Origins reboot a) comes out soon and b) is as good as 1 & 2.
(preorders are already available, but fuck preorders, doubly so if they don't have a set release date)
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't know about the reboot. I'll keep it under my radar.
Ahnd I'll try not to keep my hopes too high :)

Yes, the subtitle is a spoof on Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise. Because the last thread reminded me that no matter how good you think you are at something, there is always someone more masterful that you can learn from. :)
