Title: Strangest video game ever
Post by: Will on 12 Jul 2007, 08:40
Again with the hyperbole; I don't know if this is the strangest video game EVER created, but it's the strangest one I've ever seen. The best description I can come up with is that it's like someone took House of Leaves and OK Computer, combined them, and turned it into an interactive Flash app.

This game was beautiful art. But some parts did feel a little contrived. The Buddhist level stuck in a loop was funny, though.

I think the GI Joe game for Atari was plenty strange. Be a Giant Cobra... makes absolute bloody sense until it doesn't.

Now Custer's revenge, you can somewhat understand. Bigotted game + rape fantasy fulfillment for some derelicts.... but that it had sequels and pirated knock offs, THAT I think is the strange part.

My contribution:  Areas. (http://www.kongregate.com/games/Ridiculous/areas)  It might be the most oddly and simplistically interesting game I've ever played, but I'm still on the fence.

This strange Japanese game called "I Am The Chef." I got it on a Playstation Underground demo disc many years ago, and lost it equally as long ago..but the few times that I played it..wow. I was dumbstruck. You would be serving people beer or soup one moment, then chasing a stick figure through some back alley a moment later. Truly bizarre.

It's a tie between Psychonauts, American McGee's Alice (creepiest damn game EVER), and the co-op for Psi-Ops.  It involved one person controlling movement and the other controlling firing weapons, switching weapons, and using powers.  It was actually pretty cool.

Oh, and Pac-Txt, cool at first, but it gets boring after eating about two dots.

And if you're gonna go into Hentai Games, X-play did a special on them once.  There was one titled "Do You Like Horny Bunnies" and for some reason was about librarians.  Also, tentacle rape.  Lots and lots of tentacle rape.
Title: Re: Strangest video game ever
Post by: Stryc9Fuego on 21 Dec 2007, 06:09
I didn't really find Alice all that creepy. It tried so hard to be creepy and scary that it just came across kinda... sad. There are a lot creepier games out there (Yeah, yeah, System Shock, we all know). In my opinion for Creepiest Game (especially the premise behind it), check out an old Infocom game by the name of Suspended (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspended). The only game I know of that is literally IMPOSSIBLE to win your first time through without cheating.

So, another entry in the IGF awards recently recieved the demo treatment, Audiosurf.  Take Guitar Hero, Bejeweled, and DDR, and this is what you get.  You pick a song on your hard drive (I think it allows mp3, ogg, m4a, and wma), and it scans it through the engine, and creates a track you travel on.  You collect little colored blobs, and if you get three or more together, you collect points (5 different colors and point values).  There are also powerups that change colors of current pieces, special chameleon blocks, ships that give you special abilities.  At the end of it all, you can opt to upload your points to a regional database and see how well you scored compared to other people who played the same song.  At the moment, it's limited to 3 plays when you first download it and an additional play when it's updated, and it doesn't do songs over 12 minutes long yet (it's still in beta).  But it's a lot of fun.

http://gamedata.box.sk/_extra/syobon-action.zipSyobon Action. It's a mario rip-off in japanese, and the first level is legendary in its unfair difficulty. In many ways, it's funner to watch someone else play than play yourself.

Post by: doki on 26 Jan 2008, 22:58
the first level isnt difficult, its impossible

i mean that
just get to the end

i dont know if its just badly programmed or what, but the only thing missing to make this the shittiest game ever made is a time limit
Title: Re: Strangest video game ever
Post by: KvP on 26 Jan 2008, 23:10
Nah, see, at the end of the level, the object is to jump over the pole, but then you have to jump onto the pole from the other side. If you just keep going it traps you and you have to kill yourself.

It's a brilliant game.

Post by: Scruffy on 31 Jan 2008, 14:41
Blue Ice

This game is impossible.  The game itself is so rediculously hard, that words can barely describe it.

It's an old point and clicker that you basically have series of puzzles and whatnot.  Think you're doing good?  Well, entire puzzles and riddles are simply red herrings. For years and years there was NO ACTUAL ENDING.  See, it was made for a contest with prizes.  Well, the fact is, people would have just hacked to the end, so he never put one in!  I say for years and years because he finally walked players through to get to the end just recently, so in essence there is now an END, just not an ending.

But the whole game, besides it's awesome mind bending weirdness, toughness, and borderline incompleteness has a really cool feel to it.  If you have a phd in cryptography, I highly suggest you give it a shot without a guide.   I believe you will also need about a decade of free time as well.

my friend once bought a game called Okami for the N64 (I think)

it's described as "a unique combination of Real-Time strategy and pinball" It may sound interesting but it's a horrible game that still has us in fits of laughter. We believe it was made for our amusement.

Post by: KickThatBathProf on 01 Feb 2008, 00:17
Yeah, Okami is quite a bit different from Odama.
And quite a bit better.  Probably the best game that came out for PS2 last year.

It's a sort of Zelda-esque game.

You want a ridiculously hard game? Play I Wanna Be the Guy: The Movie: The Game.

It's worth it just for the Castlevania sequence, where The Kid does the intro to Symphony of the Night with Dracula.

It's hilarious and even more fun to watch as the player of the game slowly has his sanity worn away by the difficulty of the challenge.
Title: Re: Strangest video game ever

There was a game a friend of mine had for the SNES, Packy and Marlon, where the objective of the game was to regulate their glucose level as they adventure through a forest. The fact that they made a videogame based on diabetes that starred two goofball elephants still baffles me.

Earthbound is pretty strange too, which is probably why it rocks so much. Such a unique and creative role playing game possibly saw such success due to it's peculiar charm.
