isnt this just like, the kinda shit the Space Funeral guy made

Top Banana

Purilura (Japanese version) and JJ Squawks
Both good games, both start out relatively and then go increasingly insane to the point you start to wonder if you're hallucinating. Download the Japanese rom for Purilura though the World release is missing some graphical effects and enemies.

There was this bizarre PC shovelware game that was about Y2K. you were a scientist and you went into a computer and fought Y2K bugs, which literally looked like bugs.

I forget the specifics, but there was one Japanese arcade fighting game that used digitized sprites before Mortal Kombat or Pit Fighter, and one of the characters was a guy that looked like Piccolo and a monk doll.

Bad Mojo (1996) was an adventure game where you played as a cockroach.

No one ever mentions the World Builder games in Max OS Classic. These were all built with the same tool: World builder, and produced point and click adventures with static images as each location. You could click on things in the image to acquire them, if they were pick-upable. One guy made a living on these until the early 2000's, and he started with A Mess of Trouble.

I say all that to say this: One World Builder game was called Psychotic: The Escape Part One. It was literally an adventure about escaping from a violent psychotic ward. You can type "rape" and rape this nurse. It's a pretty wild ride.

Reikai Doushi. Piccolo actually debuted in the same year the game was released, 1988, so it may be just a coincidence.

Necrobius. Unreleased and lost until a year or two ago.

>>5503673
Screaming Mad George's Paranoiascape. Weird as hell grotesque pinball game

>>5506247
early playstation weird is the best weird

I can't post screenshots for obvious reasons, but the weirdest are old "erotic" games like Duke Screw'em 38DD where all the weapons are fleshmelded dicks and every texture is is random porn image in some wolf3D engine knockoff. They were mostly mail order and lost to time but the ones that exist all look like HR Giger fever dreams.

>>5504670
I really enjoyed PuLiRuLa's strangeness. Really fun little beat'em up too.
JJ Squawks is okay, but it's way less interesting in it's weirdness. Going from a town, to a dream world to "geometric shape land" to space to whatever the fuck the final level is. It doesn't even say why the levels are the way they are. At least PuLiRuLa has the excuse that the machinery that makes reality normal got busted.

>>5504658
Total fever dream that shit was. The noise when you pick up fruit makes me laugh though.

>>5503673
Nice "Weird Dreams". I played it on my Amiga back in the day but never know WTF was going on.

Another one would be "Deus Ex Machina" for C64 and ZX Spectrum. The game came with a complete soundtrack, narration and all on tape that needed to get synchronized with the game for the full immersion.

that's actually impressive for a bunch of kids at that time ! and the story while confusing is awesome ! the interview is so depressing tho Xd !

>>5506675
Seconded. Early Playstation is such a great aesthetic. Games made by people full of possibilities thanks to this new 3D world that had the power to make games in. Sames goes for games made for Net Yaroze.

Viz : The Game

>>5506934
ah shit, I had this old retro FPS pack that was uploaded here years ago, I can't remember if I still have it, but Duke Screw'em was one of the games, as was Immoral Cumbat. Don't recall ever really playing either game though.

Ha yes, the Amstrad / ZX Spectrum general.

>>5507015
is that Coveitus?

>>5503817
creepy

Weird Dreams gave me fucking nightmares, scared the hell out of me

>>5503789

>>5508013
It lives up to the name....

>>5507820
Not only was it weird, it made no fucking sense! Part of me dreaded going back to it...

>>5506934
archive.org kept a number of strange porn bootlegs.

>>5506934
>some wolf3D engine knockoff

Fucking Pie in the Sky Engine.
Pretty much 90% of the games done with it are asset flips where they didn't even bother to change the HUD or weapons.

What makes a cult game?

>>5508957
I don't know, you might do better asking movie buffs what makes a cult movie. I imagine there are many similarities.

>>5503673
I never even really got the first level of weird dreams desu.

>>5508957
Well, I guess this is a cult game. And weird as fuck.

Funny things is that the two guys who wrote this engine got really rich selling it while people generally shit on the tool set for whatever reason.
Whos laughing now

>>5507458
>its been 6 years since i uploaded that torrent

>>5509696
Oh damn, didn't think it was so long ago. Come to think of it, /vr/ is six years old now.

mind sharing the magnet if you still got one?

>>5506074
Oh fuck! I remember this game! Made a big impression at that time.
Thanks

Genpei is still too weird

I like to think that if brave firefighters was ever released for the 3DO, it woulda been weird. And i woulda loved it

>>5503673
Weird Dreams. What a disturbing game. If you have a chance to read the story that comes with it, the game feels all the more eerie.

>>5507820
How many people have actually beaten it?

>>5507015
wow it's pretentious indie garbage before it was a thing

>>5507015

There was even a remake done, that was narrated by Christopher Lee of all people. I'm not sure how it developed like that, since afaik the crowd founding for Deus Ex Machina 2 failed, yet the game was released somehow.

>Weird Dreams
>it was a dream all along!

I remember playing an really wierd super meta game in the early 2ks (it was dealing with wierd retro topics or forums so it is /vr/). All I can remember is that you played as this wierd human(oid?) creature beig tortured by two scientists who sent him into various fucked up simulations.

Near the end the whole thing catches fire and a few seconds loop of some songs that literarly has just the lyrics "We're on fire" loop indefinetly. The creature ends up capturing the scientists and putting them into the simulations instead. Does anyone know which game this is?

>>5515987
It was a small freeware pc parody game if that helps anyone

>>5503673
I love getting pissed n playing this with friends on my 3do. Very obscure. We play Twisted, the game show as well. Same style.

>>5506108
Dude. I used to play one of these based on 'Alien' and fucking loved it. I can't find it anywhere and can't remember the name, any idea?

>>5514815
Well, yeah. But the whole backstory about how you've been physically and mentally degenerating because a demon replaced your girlfriend is pretty crazy for the backstory to a strange game.

Auf der Suche nach dem Ultimate Mix (In Search of the Ultimate Mix), a P&C adventure game based on a French comic that, as far as I'm aware, was only released in Germany.

>In Auf der Suche nach dem Ultimate Mix the player takes control of Moses Vider who lives in a world were the evil Graf von Voiddospunk forbid all funk music and caused a paralyzing rain. Moses wants to end the power of Voiddospunk by defeating his protégé Sir Noise at a DJ championship. But to do this he has to steal the "Ultimate Mix" from Voiddospunk's secret record store.

Or to quote some guy on Youtube:
Imagine a world where golden piss rain washes away your music preference and kills your soul, turning you into a yellow wiggly thing and only niggas immune to piss rule the street and white big titted women sing in night clubs.
