Weirdest Game

[The Mirror Emperor]

What is by far the weirdest game you've ever played in your lifetime? For me, Taboo: The Sixth Sense, a fortune telling game for the NES using wizards and staffs and scary things to tell your fortune that usually gave me disturbing thoughts when I was younger.

[swordmaster]

The weirdest game ive ever played was this game i rented for the SNES. In it, you were this purple guy that went around and collected powerups so you could transform into stuff. Very odd. If anybody knows what im talking about, tell me the name of the game, I would like to play it again. Weird as it was, it was awesome.

[Ivellios]

was it altered beast? although the protagonist in that was... not purple. Anyway, the wierdest game I've ever seen (although I haven't played it, it only came out in Japan) was called Nose Hair Fighter Bobobo, I think. And the title is self explanitory. The guy fights with braided nose hairs. Nothing makes sense anymore!!!

[Cyclone231]

Nobody can stop Mister Domino and Heartful (was it Harmful) Park.

[Gorefiend]

I once played a game in Japanese. It was called, and this is off the top of my head, "Ohmono Black Bass" I know it was a fishing game, but I have no idea what it was about. That, or maybe something called "Blender Bros" for the GBA. You go around, as a dogish thing, and have some stupid little pet thing flying around you. To attack, you twirl around at fast speeds. Maybe not wierd, but strange....

[ChaosMage]

Wierdest game? Beevis and Butthead for the SNES. I rented it when I was like 8, had no idea what the hell to do and it was just....wierd.

[Astral Harmony]

I didn't get to do any serious gaming until I was about 18 so I haven't really went out and found the weird games so the weirdest I played would have to be Mr Mosquito.

[Mirai Gen]

wierdest game? Well probably when I downloaded a crapload of SNES roms and found a "You win! girl slideshow" file.

Yeah. Hentai through and through.

Anyway Beavis and butthead was pretty damn wierd too. Especially when you smack each other around. or fart. Fucking wierd game. Did acclaim make that?

[Little Unicorn Boy]

recently?

have you heard... of Katamari Damacy?

[KefkaTaran]

Who hasn't heard of that game?

It's supposed to rock.

[Living Bobbeh]

Wario Ware Inc. Is the most reasent one I can name.

[kittygirl501]

Hmm...I say Tak and the Power of Juju is pretty weird. And also this GBA game...the Yuyu Hakasho: Spirit Detective...

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

i cant remember the exact name but pcycic force or something like that u were a bunch of psycics and the 2 main charecters the bad guy and the good guy had to unique powers the good guy could makefireballs and summon a giant pheonix and the bad guy had ice and could make a dragon if i remember right

^^ Claymates? (see thisone.jpg)

As for me, I'd have to go with boogerman. (see boogerman.jpg)

[Kike14]

I think the weirdest game I ever played was Wario Ware Inc.
The weirdest thing was that How there could be people that will pay 40 bucks in order to press A BUTTON !!!!!!!!????
Is the only damm thing you do on that game....it doesn't even have a storyline, its just Wario and some Retro dudes making you play silly versions of games.
Come on, The Legend of Zelda is reduced to just ENTERING A DAMMED CAVE IN 3 SECONDS....also, there are some WEIRD games on that game, like one in which you have to poke your nose....yuck....that game sucks, luckily I played a friend's one...

[zdude255]

Hmm, Clay Fighter 63 1/3 was pretty weird.

[Recall2]

I have to go old school for this topic and say earthworm jim.

what is weirder then a super powered earthworm that launches cows and shoots puppies?

[Sandworm508]

There are few things more bizarre than making fish crap gold coins while being attacked by aliens. (http://www.popcap.com/launchpage.php?theGame=insaniquarium&src=big8) Though Conker's Bad Fur Day for the N64 comes to mind. I'm so happy they're making a sequel for it :D

[Cyclone231]

There was this game, I cannot remember it's name, but you were some sort of strange robot crusader following Santa Claus as you battle the evil doctor Einstein and his robot horde. Each time you would defeat one of his most powerful robots you would steal from them their prized and most noble possession.

[Mr. Viewtiful]

I remember back in the day of the Sega Genesis, I played a side-scroller called "*insert name here* the Kamikaze Squirrel." It was about this Kamikaze squirrel that used kunai and nunchuku...and stuff. Not as strange as the awesome Earthworm Jim (and it's sequel), but weird nontheless.

[darth vader wannabe]

I haven't actually played it, but I've seen Ninja Golf for the Atari 7800.

I just don't get how the two concepts (ninjas and golf) cold EVER mix.

[KefkaTaran]

Sandworm: They're making a sequel for Conker's Bad Fur Day? I just thought they were remaking the original for XBox (/Xbox Live)?

[Sandworm508]

No, the new one is, well, new. Much more Tribes-ish, from what I've seen; all the preview clips show Terminator 3-esque airships flying above big Squirrels vs. Tediz battlefields. Oh, and the Tediz are in mechs.

Despite all the futuristic crap, it's got the same little things that made the original awesome; my favorite part was how the snipers swear for minutes on end when you miss.

[Meister]

Rare's homepage says the multiplayer mode is new (that would probably be what you guys said), but the single-player mode is Conker's Bad Fur Day with up-to-date graphics and possibly sound. Good thing too. For a moment there I thought I would have to buy an X-Box. Stupid N64 cartridge is hard enough to get as it is.

[8-bit fanboy]

Two of the strangest games i've played are Cubivore and Katamari Damacy.

[The Argent Lord]

Noone's mentioned Seaman?

[Lost in Time]

Spy vs. Spy on the (S)NES ( I can't remember which.) But that game was just strange I remember my mom randomly renting out games for me. And that was one. I just remember climbing up an apartment building and then a window would pop-up and I would fall to my death.

[BlackDragon99]

Now I've never played this game before, but I read about it and I looked up a webpage on it. It was released in Japan, and I believe it was arcade only. Well with this game you get a large plastic fist with a single finger stuck out, and sitting in front of you was a large plastic butt. The point of the game was to select one of several different people on the screen, then jam the plastic finger up the butt to see how big of a reaction you got from the person you chose. I guess the harder you jammed the finger in, the bigger the reaction of the person you chose... I just remember seeing the horror on some of those faces in the screenshots.

I don't see how there can be a game any stranger than this. What kind of a demented bastard thought this up anyway?

THe weirdest game i ever played was about a green guy made up of green balls and i think it was for sega. If anyone knows what it is please tell me.

[zzxyx]

that one seven up game for snes were your a little dot

hello Im new

[mammothtank]

I have an odd little NES game called "Snake Rattle N' Roll." You play the role of a little snake whose tail is split into segments. You start each level with only one tail segment, but you gain more by eating (and I'm serious about this) "Nibbley Pibbleys." After eating 20 or so of these giant edible marbles, the end of your now multi-segmented tail begins to flash. At this point, you hop on a scale, which rings and unlocks the door to the next level. Along the way up this mountain you're climbing for some reason, you fight animated mushrooms, bloodthirsty toilet seats, and bouncing metal trees, not to mention more than one literal Big Foot. It was really weird, but at the same time it was fun and challenging so I still liked it.

[BlackMageGirl!]

Hey, I remember that game! Have you beaten it? It has a weird ending, which is described below for all that are interested.

At the last level, after you beat the worst foot of them all, you get into a spaceship and blast off into space. The ending credits are like "congratulations, you beat the game! Join us soon in snakes in space!" How's that for weird?

[Tom Mewer]

Freak Out (aka Stretch Panic) for PS2

[darth vader wannabe]

supernick: The game you're thinking of (I think) is called Vectorman.

And I'm going to go old-skool and say the wierdest game I've ever played is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game.

I'VE GOTTEN THE BABEL FISH!!

[Hawk one]

There are several weird games.

One game that became so much weirder due to my expectations was FF X-2 (PS2). I'm not sure what I expected, but I bet few expected what was actually there. A friend of mine once said "I'm at the end, and I still don't know whether to like it". In itself, it is not that weird compared to some of the other games I've seen; but as I said, expectations played a big part in this case.

Kirby's Dream Course. (SNES) This is the sort of thing that makes you wonder about the sanity of Nintendo. It is stretching the golf concept to a place no other company has.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES) A baby Mario sitting on the back of a Yoshi that eagerly eats enemies and then creates eggs which he shoots out at other enemies (guess they are unfertilized). Is it just me, or is the guys at Nintendo seemingly on crack?

Uniracers (SNES) No, it can't be just me. If this game had been about a guy standing on a skateboard, then it wouldn't have been the weirdest thing in life. But leave it to Nintendo to create a game starring a fricking unicycle instead. And to make a good game out of such an idea, at that.

Parodius (SNES) Oh yes, the SNES attracted a lot of weird stuff, and Konami wouldn't want to be left out. You play as either the original Gradius spaceship, or a space penguin, or a space octopus. And that's just the beginning of it...

In shoot-em-ups like this, it's not unusual to have passages where you hav invincible and moving creatures that you have to maneuver through. One of these invincible creatures are represented by a very specifically (and scantily) dressed female who is walking across the screen slowly.
One of the bosses is another giant naked chick (covered up with a sheet), and she is attacking you with what I can only imagine is a metaphor for her wish to become pregnant: Bubbles with babies. Upon defeat, she isn't even destroyed, she is merely crying as you show how you're interested in this activity (or perhaps you were just shooting too fast. Hey, I wouldn't put it past the programming team to think of it like that.)
And finally, I remember a level where the floor and roof (and parts of the background) was pink and very organic-looking. The fact that gas bubbles (with and without enemies inside) tended to appear in this level, sort of made it obvious that we're dealing with the later parts of the digestive system...
In short, Parodius is a game where you have to maneuver your ship between a stripper's legs, and it's also the only game I've ever seen where you will steer a penguin up an ass. I say this is just about as weird as it gets, folks, especially for an official game released to SNES.

[Meister]

Don't forget the stickfigure surfing on a paper plane and using a condom for a shield in parts 2 and 3!

[mammothtank]

I did eventually beat Snake Rattle N' Roll, but it took forever for me to get past the end of level 10. Y'know, the part where you're climbing up the icy slopes where even one wrong move causes you to fall to your doom or land on a bed of spikes. Thrills.

[SanbaiShi]

*blinks at description of Parodius* Wow. That's just as bad as the plastic fingers jamming up people's butts game, but it sounds more amusing. In any case, my wierd game contribution would have to be super old-school for the NES -- a game called "Low G Man". A purple guy who runs around getting antigravity packs and jumping on monsters to kill them by stabbing down with a harpoon. After freezing them. The fun part was getting so many packs that you could hit the jump button and send the guy shooting straight up for 30 to 90 seconds at a time. I know. Wierd.

[Meister]

You don't know half about Parodius from that description (accurate though it may be). I advise you to get the games by any means necessary. These are the titles for the SNES games, just as a checklist.

Parodius
Gokujyou Parodius
Jikkyo Oshaberi Parodius

And it's not *that* horribly many, erm, bodily references...

[SuperNick]

Darth You're right.

Thanks!!!!!!

[theinvisibleguy]

What system is the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy for? I read all the books, that was an awesome and hilarious series. And yeah Uniracers had a really unique idea, but it was an awesome game, the green one at the bottom was the best!

[Myst]

Hitchhikers guide was an old text based PC game. I think it's now available as free ware somewhere. I've played bits of it, and I can see how text based games got addictive...took me forever to figure out how to get out of his room without getting crushed.

[chryos_the_forsaken]

id have to say a wierd game was mario paint. u have a mouse plugged into your tv and u can draw and animate pictures with it

[bharatorot]

That game where u play as a mosquito, i think it was for N64, you had to buzz around a house and bite people.

[Zero]

Mr. Mosquito, it's for the PS2.

Wierdest game: Trog. You play as dinosaurs, fending off 1-eyed Cavemen that try to eat you. The rest plays like Pac Man, while you pick up fruit to speed up/slow down, and tar gets in your way. The Cavemen then start bouncing around, or rolling in later levels. And, it says, "Bloop!" when you beat a level. Very strange.
