The Most Ridiculous Games

[Loony BoB]

So without spoiling anything about the game itself, I'll start us off with Frog Fractions. Anyone played any utterly ridiculous games that went intentionally beyond sensibility for the sake of fun? Post your faves here.

Anybody who has visited the LP forum lately will know my answer is I Am Bread!

Katamari but in a fun way

You roll things up in a ball and get berated by an effeminate giant

Gekisha Boy 2. You play as a photographer running around trying to take pictures of strange and noteworthy things.

In a world where everything is strange and noteworthy.



I considered sticking the original in my awesome games thread, but I'm not sure how appealing it would be to people since it is so odd. I hear there was a Nicktoon's version of the game released outside of Japan, but I don't know much about it. Considering the source material however, it too might be quite ridiculous.

I don't know if you've ever played Frog Fractions but if you haven't and are able to go in blind, you need to do an LP of Frog Fractions.

EDIT: Oh, and another good shout for this thread is probably Bishi Bashi. It is everything that is ridiculous about Japanese game shows.

I've never completed Frog Fractions because every time I try to play I get bored halfway through and quit It is funny, though.

I'm going to nominate SECRET OF THE MAGIC CRYSTALS because it's amazing and you can have pet horses.

One reviewer says

The story and character development are so far ahead of any other game (or work of fiction in general) that there could be no possible comparison. This is simply the greatest work of art ever created. This isn't just a game; this is an experience. 10/10 isn't possibly high enough. If any game earned an 11, it's this one.

Sounds like a legit and fair review

I wanna be the guy.

Any fans of I Wanna Be the Guy should definitely watch witwix's playthrough of I Wanna Be The Boshy at the latest AGDQ. Heck, even if you haven't played or heard of either game, or even if you don't really like speedruns, you should watch it anyway - it's a real treat to watch and witwix is hilarious.

Saints Row 4 is pretty great.

This. Strange in only the way Japan can deliver.

Reading around the internet trying to find more ridiculous games, the names 'Lawnmower Man', 'Seaman' and 'Catherine' have all popped up more than once.

Freaking Stretch Panic, man. The worst part is that Stretch Panic is a troutty game.

Cho Aniki series is pretty high up, too.

Kabu Trader Shun, a game about the stock market (made by Capcom)

Yuushun Rhapsody, a horse jockey RPG, also made by Capcom.

I could name so many more games.
