Simply put, just post the weirdest game you have ever played.
I would have to say EarthBound (SNES).
I mean, come on, your neighbor's names are Picky and Pokey. How weird is that?
Katamari Damacy (PS2) Comes in second... it's just... I SWEAR, THEY HAD TO BE ON SOME CERTAIN SUBSTANCES TO MAKE THIS GAME.
Skullmonkeys (PS)
That game literally is made for people on drugs.
I love Super Monkey Balls! MONKIES IN BALLS EVERYWHERE!
Katamari Damashii and Super Monkey Ball (You people are fast at pointing out the ones I was going to use :( )
Princess Tomato and the Salad Kingdom.
I can't remember what it was called but it was something to do with Deathtarians... on mars.
that new game shin megami tensei: digital devil saga has a pretty frickin weird story. the gameplay itself is fairly normal though.
Kula World. You play as a beach ball, navigating bizarre mazes that routinely defy the laws of physics.
Beautiful game, though.
But when you think about it... Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the most bizarre games ever. Let's look closely...
You play as a bipedal hedgehog. This hedgehog is completely bollock naked except for a pair of shoes and a pair of gloves. Unlike hedgehogs in the real world, he can run really fast. He is also blue.
In his spare time, he likes to collect gold rings that litter the ground - and the air - all over his world. By collecting rings, he can do... special stuff. His main job, though, is defeating a plump bald fellow who likes machines. This hedgehog destroys machines to rescue the cute critters trapped inside. He destroys them by impaling them with his spines.
The old fellow constantly upgrades his enormous devices, trying in vain to defeat a hedgehog. He has also horded powerful crystals, which are vitally important to the world for some reason, but it's no big deal if the hedgehog doesn't get them back.
Eventually, one hedgehog acting alone is able to destroy all the machines and free all the critters, who - despite their sheer weight of numbers - were too hopelessly defenseless to resist one old man who is unable to fend off a single nude hedgehog.
Everyone is free and happy, the machines are destroyed, and the old scientist is allowed to escape and foment a new evil plot.
If that ain't wierd, I don't know what is.
E.T on Atari. I think the point was to collect candybars but I could only get his neck to go up and down. :(
I love Earthbound!
Kurushi for PS1
Some of the early Sonic games were actually host to some extremely surreal environments, like Spring Yard Zone, Collision Chaos, Wacky Workbench, Stardust Speedway, and the Special Stages.
Wario Ware.
The Ren & Stimpy Show: Stimpy's Invention.
My god... it doesn't get any more weird than this one. :(
If Ren pokes at Stimpy's stomach, they both fly off by the force of Stimpy's fart. :(
Damn I was gonna say that!!Quote:

Oh you could say that about anything, though, particularly in the era when games rarely tried to be realistic.
"A plumber stomping on mushroom-creatures and throwing fireballs on a quest to save a princess from a turtle-creature? Outlandish!"
"Anthropomorphic animals dogfighting in space? Ridiculous!"
"A guy taking on a castle full of terrible monsters with little more than a whip? Impossible!"
"A pink ball-like creature that sucks his enemies into his mouth and then swallows them to gain their abilities? Ludicrous!"
True. Any game that you couldn't call "weird" in some way, or just made total sense in relation to how things work in the real world would be boring. Or The Sims. -_-
I think Ham Ham Heartbreak was weird in a game sense because of how you actually played it, learning "hamchats", by going up to everyone and choosing a word to say to them, then learning new words. It was pretty different from any sort of game I'd played.
ZERO WING
Damn, the chicks in those games are hot.Quote:

That would also make the Mario games weird, too. A plumber who spends his time eating mushrooms to grow taller and jumps on turtles with wings to save a kingdom inhabited by talking mushroom people.
Besides Sonic kicks ass anyway.
While I love Pikmin, it is a very weird game, concept wise at least.
Also, Donkey Konga is weird because, well, your playing the bongos as a controller. It's fun though.
Mischief Makers for the Nintendo 64. Great game, though.
Kula World is great! And also really funny when you burn holes in the ball :-P
Ren & Stimpty is REALLY weird but there are worst games to my opinion.
What about Parappa the Rapper? You get dancing teachings from an eggplant with dreadlocks....
And Beavis & Butthead for the Snes. Wait, that was not weird, that was just plain stupid!
Cubivore is, without a doubt, the weirdest game I've seen in my life. You're a little squarish animal thing...and by eating grass and other animals you get bigger...and then you mate and soon die, and inhabit the body of your offspring, and get bigger and better to become the ultimate animal...or something. You get various points in the game, including "Horn points"--and..HUMP POINTS! xD

Super Monkey Ball
Pikmin
Katamari Damacy
The upcoming Killer 7.
Boy and his Blob was strange...
But the Motherload is:
Kickle Cubicle
That game is weird.
Probably Zombie Nation on the NES. I don't remember the story very well, but an alien by the name of Darc Seed has invaded Earth and is destroying it. He has already taken over America. Now for some reason, the ghostly spirit head of a samurai warrior has risen to combat Darc Seed.
It's a 2D sidescroll shooter in which you play as a big floating zombie head that rampages through the cities of the United States. I don't know how you're actually supposed to be saving the world when you're blowing all this stuff up with your explosive vomit and eating the tiny men falling out of the windows, but I guess it works.
Bad game too. Frustratingly hard. I can't get past level 3 myself.
definetly mgs2. there is no stranger game: "the colonel is a member of patriots, he died over a 100 years ago, still he met solid snake live 2 years ago"
(SPOILER)The colonel Raiden was speaking to was not Colonel Campbell. He retired after the end of MGS1. The one Raiden was speaking to was a computer called GW, pretending to be the colonel. In the end once GW had been infected, it was a completely different computer called JFK.
(SPOILER)That wasn't the real Colonel; that was a computer-generated illusion being created by the GW artificial intelligence inside Arsenal Gear. The Patriots were using GW to manipulate Raiden, as part of their big scheme - the 'S3' plan, to see if they could manipulate events totally in their favour by controlling the flow of information.Quote:

Much about them still remains a mystery.
*Not literally revived, just the concept and its implementation.
Damn, Old Manus has beaten me to it:p
Yours is more concise than mine.
Cel-shaded games to me look really good atm
weirdest game? pac-man so addictive and weird!
(SPOILER)still weird. Mgs and the nes versions are still the only ones worth playing, alos maybe mgs3 but just barelyQuote:

That would be nes verson... only one. MSX versions maybe.Quote:

one weird game is Viewtiful joe
>>> Gals Panic games, are weird...
Well... I guess Sheep Raider... but then that was a looney tunes game, so it was going to be a tad weird... it's a fun game though, if only a little confusing in later levels.
Ohh, yeah. I played that. now that is weird, especially the thing with the ferris wheel and the woman o_0Quote:

Id have to say the last parts of MGS2. (SPOILER)I was in my house alone, it was dark and raining outside and the only light was from the tv screen. Then the game started telling me Id failed the mission and to turn off the console me:"........?" Then this image of a japanese woman doing indoor sunbathing showed up in place off the map and I dropped the controller. I went down stairs, waited a few minutes, came back up, Lets add to the tension. I realize the character Im playing is naked and the colonel who was giving me mission details throughout the game starts phoning me up to tell me about his U.F.O. sightings, His failing marriage and of course, the purple flabjupcroffler. That was an interesting game.
"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in Flap-Jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!"
Pure genius.
Hmm...
Katamari Damacy
Cubivore
Super Mario Ball(import)
Touch Kirby(yet another import)
Psychonauts for X-Box. Made by Tim S.
What a messed up game.
It's better because Raiden just pays no attention to these at all.Quote:

At least it's a good game (Of an excelent show that I grew up with!)Quote:
