Weird games....

Postby siamesegiant on Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:36 am

Hey folks, just picked up a game for my Saturn. It's a Japanese side scrolling beat em up called Nekketsu Oyako - Hot Blooded Family by Tecno Soft. I popped it in to have a go, first level was a pretty standard Final Fight rip off, but then at the end of that level the floor disintegrates and a whale eats you. You then proceed to fight through the whale's intestine, then it spits you out through its blow hole and you continue the fight on its back. There appeared to be a health power up halfway through the level - a can of beer - but I tried to pick it up and a message popped up saying 'adults only'. Its all a bit bonkers and I don't really know what to make of it, the gameplay is pretty average, but fun, but it's almost worth playing for the random strangeness.

Anyone else played this? And are there any other games you've played that are worth playing just for the sheer weirdness?

Trio the Punch, it's on one of the Taito Legends compilations. It's mad.

Same answer every time - Kung Food on the Lynx. Such a mindfuck I got rid of it.

The Warioware games are a good mix of classic/retro gaming and the utterly bizzare, there are even nose-picking mini-games for example! :lol:

Edit: Killer 7 is quite mental aswell.

Only weird if you are not into oiled up men in speedos shooting naked guys out of a hole in the top of their head.
