I've still to play the third game but The No More Heroes games can be included in the ridiculously fun category. They have some pretty crazy stuff going on including turning into a tiger.

Suda 51's games seem generally pretty out there, Killer 7 had some pretty random moments too.

The only Suda51 game I’ve played is Shadows of the Damned. That is certainly a ridiculous game. I didn’t finish it, mainly because the controls were too much of a battle. But it was certainly entertaining. I seem to remember all sorts of batshit crazy stuff in it like “The Legend of Stinky Crow”.

Ah, if we're getting into more well known ones like God Hand, then Incredible Crisis on PS1 fits the bill.

It's just a mini game collection, but the themes and plot are mental.

Completely forgot about that one. It is indeed mental. I also remember not being very good at it either...

Two others that I feel must be mentioned:

Pepsiman (PS1). Aside from the gameplay, it's one big advert with weird CG clips of some tubby American bloke chugging Pepsi. I'm sitting here grinning at the intro to the first mission with the Pepsi delivery guy lol.

Muscle March (WiiWare). Thankfully I downloaded this long before the store was binned off and transferred it to my Wii-U along with the rest of my Wii data.

Ok, no idea what this game was called. But a mate had a hand me down speccy. We were around 8 and he loaded up a game where you played a fat naked man. You walked around past windows where women would call you a perv. It got boring fast. It was on a blank tape and he didn't know where he got it from either but it's always stuck in my head.

Streaker maybe?

The 'undress' option isn't much in evidence in this video.

[edit]

Here you go, naked fat men as requested (NB: Not me).

It's a Mastertronic game.

Ha yeah that's the one. First time I've seen it in 30 odd years.

I forgot about Muscle March, reminds me of Cho Aniki, a homoerotic shoot em up game they had fun discussing on the Nintendo World Report podcasts, I seem to remember them laughing a lot at something called the "man beam".

Whoah! That crappy bowling game I was talking about in my first message, Alley Cats, I have found it on an old warez CD-rom. Apparently it was released for Windows 3.1 in 1995 by an American company called Atlantean Interactive. They appear to be the masters of crap FMV-software with titles like Lords of Tantrazz and Catfight: The ultimate female fighting game.

I can't manage to run Alley Cats in Windows 10 compatibility mode, but lucky enough I was still able to grab some screenshots of the game's Apple Quicktime vids for your pleasure.

Astrotit - a CGA Space Invaders clone. My dad saw no problem with me and my brother who were about 9-10 years old playing it. My mum disagreed. Your avatar was an erect penis, shooting sperm at disembodied boobs. You had a shield if things got too intense - a condom - so I guess it was educational in that sense?

I was gathering Saturn shooters and I downloaded Cho Anichi (sp). It's a horizontal shooter featuring naked men and homo-erotic symbolism. I didn't add it to my collection. Not because of any bigotry on my part, I just couldn't handle all the 'wtf is that you're playing??' whenever anyone saw it. It's actually not too bad of a game to play.

I made exactly this thing with one of the Spectrum 'game creator' packages, I suspect it was possibly H.U.R.G. from Melbourne House. Granted I was a teenager at the time, but I'd probably do the same now tbh.

Its just some interesting potential opportunities for AI and automation to help and free humans in the future, rather than enslave us. We need General Zod to implement it. Jul 29, 2024 19:50:33 GMT

spector: Having an AI prime minister sounds brilliant! After a few months it would use its superior intelligence to take over, then our possessions, our lands, our very lives would be at its mercy. In return, we shall be allowed to live!
