The most bizzare game you have ever player is...

[Gratch]

I signed up for Gametap this afternoon, and the first game I played was Earthworm Jim 2.  It was one of my absolute favorites on the Genesis, and I loved playing it again.  About the time I was guiding a blind cave salamander around an intestinal tract, whilst dodging flying sheep and pinball bumpers, landing on pencils stuck into the intestine walls and listening to a classical Mozart theme playing in the background, it occurred to me that a)  Shiny was doing way too many drugs in the 90's and b) this is possibly the strangest game I've ever played.

So what game struck you as odd?

[Temjin]

Killer 7

Nothing really comes even close to this in terms of bizarre. 

[TheMissingLink]

Yeah, Killer 7 was the first thing that popped into my mind, as well.

[ATB]

I've killed the boss known as cloudman in Killer 7. It's one wacked out game but stylistically incredible.

[wonderpug]

Tass Times in Tone Town.  I don't think you can find anything more bizarre without speaking Japanese.

[Knightshade Dragon]

Easy - I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

After the Cold War, the computers of the USA, Russia and China take over the world and wipe out almost the entire human race. The Allied Mastercomputer (called AM) holds the last five humans as prisoners to torture them. Any of them has to face his or her past in a virtual adventure AM has designed for them. There they encounter their fears and weaknesses.

Yea.....odd.

DUDE!  I don't know anybody else who has ever played this game outside my family.  I played this with my older brother way back in the day.

[semiconscious]

really liked killer 7 & tass times, but for simple, sheer weird:



stretch panic (yes, those are boobs)...

[Creepy_Smell]

Atari porn is weird.

Beat em and Eat em



Knight on the Town



Found these and others while messing with an atari emulator.

[Purge]

Sam and Max. I mean, really. A talking DOG and BUNNY? 
SMB2 ... the abundance of enemy-dispatching turnips is bizzare.

[whiteboyskim]

Never played Killer 7 but Psychonauts was fairly deranged in its own right. Though there were times in Planescape: Torment where I had to ask, WTF?!?!

[TheMissingLink]

Sid Meier's Untouchable2k!

Ah, was looking to pick that one up...it's for the Dreamcast, yeah?

[wonderpug]

Katamari Damacy definitely deserves mention in this thread.

[Dimmona]

Karnov.  It seems pretty tame now, but I remember as a kid thinking wtf is going on with this game...

Currently Okami seems very bizzare as well, but it could just be because I'm not far enough in to appreciate its 'genius'.   Pikmin 2 is also pretty weird, but in a "this is one of the best games ever made"  sort of way.

[Gratch]

I'll add Skullmonkeys to the mix as well.  It ranks right up there with Earthworm Jim as far as sheer stream-of-conciousness wierdness.

[Nth Power]

Katamari Damacy definitely deserves mention in this thread.

Whoever made that opening movie must have been on some acid trip.

Booger Man - Genisis

[metallicorphan]

parappa the rappa was pretty 'out there like pluto'...also the end hour of metal gear 2,LOL

[depward]

Karnov.  It seems pretty tame now, but I remember as a kid thinking wtf is going on with this game...

Same here!  I remember thinking when I was a kid, "What the hell is going on in this game..." but now that I've played it recently it doesn't seem all too weird.

Weirdest games I've played are any Shin Megami Tensei games, Ouendan . . . Katamari Damacy, Killer 7, yeah, I keep on thinking I MUST have played weirder games but I can't think of them.

[HankRaptor]

No Contest Stretch Panic.

A close second is the naked man game on the pS2.. what was the name of that import game.

[Destructor]

Rez. But only if you include the Trance Vibrator. Otherwise it's just a fun musical shooter.

[Eduardo X]

Vangers easily takes the cake.
You're a living car that must speak with the bug entities to get missions collecting grubs, either for food or advancing the species, I don't recall. I still have the game and the manual, I could could never make heads or tails of that thing. The story is so complex and bizarre.
Here's the reason you never played it.

[EngineNo9]

Yeah, Vangers had me totally stumped.  I really wanted to like that one but I don't think I knew what I was getting myself into. 

[Wolves]

Seaman.

Gunstar Heroes was kinda weird too, does anyone remember 'Blockman Rising' in it?
Wtf was going on there?!

That level was actually kinda fun...but...a giant man of blocks...swinging his arms and legs to crumble other blocks..huh? 

[EddieA]

The Mira world of Baten Kaitos was very bizarre.  One village was made of various confections (like cotton candy, gumdrops, etc), another was a children's picture book come to life, and a dungeon featured one level that was played in 8-bit 2D.

[Maggot]

Psychonauts was pretty weird, but still one of my fav games ever.

[Misguided]

I totally want to play this now. Are all the baten kaitos games like this?

[motodd]

My choice would be Tail of the Sun

A caveman simulation of sorts.

[disarm]

Bad Mojo...nothing else quite like seeing the world through the eyes of a cockroach...

[warning]

Steambot Chronicles.

You play a guy named Vanilla Bean who is not gay.  How bizarre is that?

[Ridah]

Some of the older point-and-click adventure games on the PC were very bizzare. Phantasmagoria and Sanitarium take the cake for me.

[GGMark]

Toe Jam and earl.

[Dafones]

Agree with Killer 7, Katamari, Vangers, and Bad Mojo.

Out of this World was the first game that popped into my head. That one always wigged me out. Lighthouse was another game that never really seemed all that right to me.

And I nominate that upcoming Tingle DS game that Nintendo's cooking up. Already freaks me out.

[ATB]

MDK is pretty unusual.  What an underappreciated series that was.  I wish they'd make a third.

[EddieA]

"I totally want to play this now. Are all the baten kaitos games like this?"
This world is in the original BK.  Most of the game takes place in fairly standard (although very beautiful) settings, but the Mira world features a lot of bizarre things.  I'm not sure if you visit Mira in the sequel, Baten Kaitos Origins, but there is a city made of clay.  They're both fantastic games, and well worth playing.

[pr0ner]

I'm surprised Space Channel 5 hasn't made an appearance.

I mean, come on, it's got Michael Jackson!
