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.

I personally think it has to be Rainbow Islands, that game is wack!

Also thats really fucked up.

I think the Karaoke Revolution style Marley and Marley: The Video Game has to be the strangest I've seen.

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.

Archery, Golf, Cats.
A winning combination.
My best score is -28.

Oh my god. Cat with Bow Golf is genius.
Best score I can get is -3. How do you get more?

I was bored so I decided to get a +1905.

any of the transformers games for the Atari, or Custard's Revenge

oh, and I got + 11

EDIT: just got -34

Ah, you actually have to finish it. I got -22.

HPPH · « **Reply #12 on:** 13 Jul 2007, 08:35 »

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.

schimmy · « **Reply #13 on:** 13 Jul 2007, 08:56 »

Just played Cat With Bow Golf again. Beat -36.

Anyone heard of Grow Cube? I think that's what it's called. It's an online game, and it's quite cracky!

HPPH · « **Reply #15 on:** 14 Jul 2007, 10:03 »

Grow Cube and it's sequels are beautiful works of art. The author also has some other very odd games.

iliketodraw · « **Reply #16 on:** 14 Jul 2007, 12:24 »

I'm exploring the grow cube website, upon your recommendation Some of these games are lovely, particularly GROW v.1 which makes me smile

I have it on in the background right now just for the gleeful music. Today was a good day. I also tryed the game this thread is actually about, seems a little pointless and random but hey, who am i to judge?

Killer 7 allmost all of the chariters in the game are split personalties of an old man in a weel chair, and you fight invisible suiside bombers
Awsome game though I highly recomend it.

I wanted SO bad to like killer7, I tried so hard to love that game. But, a rail shooter? Come on shelly. COME ON!

MC · « **Reply #24 on:** 25 Aug 2007, 22:50 »

playing that game was like looking at the world through the eyes of Leo from that 70's Show. No wonder why the guys so trippy all the time!

ackblom12 · « **Reply #25 on:** 25 Aug 2007, 23:12 »

What's wrong with Rail Shooters? House of the Dead, Virtua Cop, and several other titles were fucking awesome even without the arcade lightgun.

Of course then you have shittacular games like RE: Dead Aim.

RapeLay, the Japanese hentai game where your sole objective is to rape many innocent women.

My brother, who is diabetic, got this game for free from his doctor. Whoo.

Captain Novolin is clearly the superior diabetic game.

Why isn't there a Mac version? I am sad about that.

My contribution: Areas. It might be the most oddly and simplistically interesting game I've ever played, but I'm still on the fence.

Fixed your link. What an odd game, I like the music. - Ally

Wizzard, I find it incredibly unsettling when you don't see Ally, but she appears on your posts.
Please prevent this from happening, it creeps me out. And by out, I mean that it's so creepy that I'm leaving this room for a bit.

It might not be the weirdest game in terms of gameplay, but god damn, when it comes to psychedelia I'm fairly sure you've never played anything quite like it.

Damn near gave me a flashback. Fuck.

I have a lot of fun with this Powder Game.

RedLion · « **Reply #36 on:** 17 Dec 2007, 18:16 »

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.

Stryc9Fuego · « **Reply #42 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. The only game I know of that is literally IMPOSSIBLE to win your first time through without cheating.

Narr · « **Reply #43 on:** 23 Dec 2007, 12:49 »

I got -33 on the cat-bow game my first try. Fun, but not very difficult.

As for strangest video game, has anyone mentioned Typing Of The Dead yet? You shoot zombies in the face by typing words that appear above them as fast as possible.

Pacman created a generation that enjoys listening to repetative techno music, munching pills, and running from ghosts.

If only the put more of an emphasis on the fruit.

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.
