Mr Bongwater Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Thought since there was a list for best games, we could have one for all that weird stuff ( good or bad ) that we've seen over the years. Sort of a mondo nintendo list. Just list the game and a description. don't really care if it's something everybody knows about, so don't rack your brain or nothing. See if we can get this moving. Maniac mansion- an attempt at seirra style game for nes. eighties style to the max. tentacle characters, aliens, etc... nude punch-out(hack)- why did someone do this? why did i find myself downloading it? why do keep telling people about it ? just like the title says naked boxing with mike tyson.
Mr Bongwater Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 I wish more people would post in here. Agozer might've scared them off with the japanese game. It's not that weird, it's just bionic commando with a little girl. Earthbound is stranger than that. But still that is a very good one. agozer,Thanks for the comment, at least someone's trying. c'mon guys it's not rocket science. what was weird? werewolf-platformer where the title character not only wolfs out but also has swords for hands, what's with that. boy and his blob- anyone have the box art for this? nintendo programmers in the eighties had an unusual since of humor. river city ransom- you punch a guy and he says barf, you buy smiles? ( sure there free, but)
lacien Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Tempo for 32X, guys must have trippin' hard when they made this..and Streetf***er (hack) for genesis...no idea why I really downloaded this, but trust me it's not just unusual it's just plain WRONG.

Mr Bongwater Posted January 19, 2004 Author Posted January 19, 2004 eartworm jim is very strange too. most people have played it, but i think with most people it's still underrated (although there are some rabid fans)
SWAMP_THING Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 shouldnt this be in current affairs?ok i think pac man 2 is pretty wierd(you dont control pac man just a capapult to manipulate the scenary!)
alexis Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 don´t remember its name but it is the second part of zombies ate my neighbours, demon´s crest a sequel of ghouls and ghost with a gameplay similar to megaman but with demons starred by red arremer, the adams family, bubsy
alexis Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 i guess the most unusual game i ever played is action soccer for pc, a soccer game starred by animal, it is also one of the gr8est games i ever played and also funny
ken_cinder Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 shouldnt this be in current affairs?Well, people are listing games from any system, and Mr Bongwater's idea was for Nintendo consoles, if you read the first post. So no, it doesn't belong in Current Affairs..........but it's now obviously not confined to Nintendo (Cause ppl can't read) Wierdest game I've played would be a hack of Super Mario Bros for NES.Super KKK Bros. (How lame and racist.........this game is wierd AND sucks)
Mr Bongwater Posted January 21, 2004 Author Posted January 21, 2004 ijtf is right, I was thinking of strictly nintendo games, but I don't hate on people for mentioning other systems. Really with the amount of roms and emulators out there we need some way to review games that may have slipped between the cracks. usually on a best game list you find the same ten or fifteen games and using the words unusual and weird was hopefully a way of getting people to talk about some other games. if anyone feels that this would thrive better in the current affairs section feel free to start another one there I would suggest maybe calling it Cult Classic Games or something. But the ball does seem to be rolling in this forum and i would hate to see it shoot out into a hundred different system forums were nobody would be active or get lost in the shuffle of "how do I get" or "when does kof200x come out?" posts. (i'm not hating on kof but if you look through the forums there are too many redundant posts on snk titles (yes they are cool, but fighting fans need to learn to use the search bar)).Tempo32X was great by the way, thanks to whoever posted that one. SNES game: Bastardani(bunch of japenese words) translated game so the cussing is just attention getting but underneath this is an unusual fighting/rpg style game. chester chettah-since when do food logos get their own platformer? anyone no of any others (a count chocula game would be awesome).
Agozer Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 SNES game: Bastardani(bunch of japenese words) translated game so the cussing is just attention getting but underneath this is an unusual fighting/rpg style game.Isn't that just "Bastard!"?
random guy Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 (edited) Probably - Bastard was an anime series, but I have never played the game. Weirdest game I would have played for SNES was probably Captain Tsubasa. This is a soccer game, there are 11 or so incarnations on the NES, SNES, SegaCD, Playstation, GBA, GB and probably more I haven't even even heard of. The weird thing about this soccer game is instead of the usual view of above the players, the view is centred in on the person who has the ball (ie it looks like he is running towards the screen), and instead of having buttons to pass shoot etc... instead you run for a while and when you want to do something, you press any button and this menu comes up with the choices of what to do (after fifteen minutes with a katakana list I could work out words like "shooto" and "duribble" (these are the phonetic translations, I'm not being racist). When you kick something, it flashes to a series of anime-style screens, for example if a defender is coming and you choose to shoot, first there will be the animation of you trying to outflank the defender, if you succeed it will go to an animation of a ball flying through the air and any players nearby will jump up and get a chance to intercept it. If you get it past them, there will be the animation of your ball vs the goalie and if the ball manages to get into the goals - you've scored! I can't really describe it and there is more to it (like some people have special kicks), but I just recommend that you get one of the many versions floating around (4 for SNES). Elsewhere in the forum I have posted links to many of the games, but they are pretty easy to find. If anybody wants to play any of these game and can't find them just pm me. A little tip: Captain Tsubasa J is a little different than the others as you have arcade-y sequences (for example if you go to tackle the ball you have to tap a key repeatedly to build up power - the same for when you attempt to shoot etc...) EDIT: I forgot to mention that there have been various translation attempts for Captain Tsubasa games. The only one I've seen complete in English is for Tsubasa 1 (and that is a NES game) but if you find any other translations, please let me know ps, I am fairly sure Bastard was called that way because of bastard swords, not out of any shock value Edited January 22, 2004 by random guy
Mr Bongwater Posted January 22, 2004 Author Posted January 22, 2004 Bastard!Ankoku no Hakai-shin: don't know about the anime, but it is a cool game. the bastard in the title isn't what i was talking about, when you play the game gratious(sp?) swearing abounds, not that it's nerve racking or anything, but that's not what makes it unusual. Agozer is probably right and it's really just Bastard. Zombie nation (nes) this must be some kind of japanese thing, you're like a flying samaurai zombie head in some shooter style game. pretty cool PS (if anyone can find and post the box art for this i'll give them much props, it's really cool)-
