I bought BioFreaks for PS1 because it looked fun. I knew it would be janky and have weird physics, but it’s also got a weird dystopian story too!
To be fair, I was 8 or 9 at the time, but it’s an entertaining piece of shit, like Pitball (also for PS1).
Placid Plastic Duck Simulator. Best game I’ve ever played.
Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death.
It’s not as bad as I expected.
Didn’t buy it perse but Chex Quest.
Oh my God I actually played that!!! A weird kid-friendly version of DOOM that actually was pretty damn solid and had an actual interesting story for a kids game. It wasn’t like Pepsiman, where the entire game was littered with Pepsi advertisements, it was an advergame that had an actual story about aliens threatening Chex and Earth. Thank you for reminding me of this. =)
And don’t forget Cool Spot, the 7UP game for SNES!
House of the Dead: Overkill on the Wii.
Genuinely has a great (and hilarious) soundtrack.
I haven’t done that yet but, give the opportunity, I would buy the hell out of a rerelease of Overblood. Rented it back in the day and it was terrible in all the best ways.
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. It was on clearance and was pretty fun to pass the controller with a group of friends
Bitch took my skull.
Not a bad video game, but I thought I had zero chance of liking it. I bought American Truck Simulator for $2 and it’s such a good zone out video with something (radio/e-book/etc) on in the background. When I’m too exhausted to think, but want to be slightly more engaged than just throwing something on TV, it’s now my go to right now. I bought it on the most recent steam summer sale and have 20 hours into already. All of it on the Steam Deck.
A friend gifted me snowrunner. I didn’t think I’d like it. In fact the learning curve was so steep (and the beginner trucks so bad) that I actually rage quit it the first time I played it.
I now have over 500h lmao
Redneck Rampage. Hot damn!
Ok wtf that’s seriously up there with Shadow of the Colossus, hold on to yer butt!
Oh damn, I forgot about this game. Actually played it multiplayer back in the day. I think it gave me a headache so quickly.
I bought Ace of Seafood, in which you can play as many kinds of fish that all shoot lasers out or their mouths at other fish.
It’s absolutely baffling but probably not how you’d expect… I found it pretty technical and demanding. It’s like a very serious game where you fly F16s and dogfight and destroy aircraft carriers except everything is fish. It’s Japanese to the max.
I paid about £6 for it on the Switch, did not play it enough to get my moneysworth. But I think once you hear the concept, you will never stop thinking about it until you try it, so I was glad to be able to stop thinking about it.
Hentai vs Furries on Steam. Exquisite game with deep lore and a narrative rich with turns and twists at every corner. 11/10 powers of friendships
Well, that’s a heck of a title… 😳
Shhh, I downloaded a ROM.
Drakengard. Good lord. What a game. Just… just watch a video.
I played that when it came out and it was enjoyable enough then. But does not hold up.
Remember those Burger King Xbox 360 games? Those. And just because they were memes, cheap, but then we started getting into them! We were playing I think it was Sneak King (I just now realized it’s called that 'cause “sneaking” 🤦🏼♀️) and we were 3 hours into it, it was 1am or something, my friend had work later and had to drive home, but we were determined… Almost want to buy them again.
Yep! I have Big Bumpin’ in my collection, got it for free after I was specifically requesting a retro game shop owner if he had any of the three Burger King games in stock. He was actually surprised that someone was actually looking for these games, and he opened a drawer, and handed me a copy of Big Bumpin’. Dude threw it in as a bonus game and only made us pay for Watch Dogs: Legion. He was the nicest and coolest retro shop owner I have ever met. A few months before he gave me that for free, he gave my sister some free PlayStation headphones and stated that he wasn’t sure if they were working or not. And guess what? It worked. Flawlessly.
Dude is still around, still kicking ass at that retro game store even to this day.
I envy this, our retro shop closed.
Dang dude that sucks. =(
I got all 3 games for $10 when BK was trying to dump them. Pocket bike Racer is surprisingly fun.
Sonic '06
Ah, yes, the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog Xbox 360 game (Sonic '06). Weirdest fricking Sonic game in existence. And not weird as in bad, but weird in general. Why was Sonic having sensual moments with a human princess? Why are we running around aimlessly in a city? Why are the controls so bad? All of these weird design choices just makes it… interesting, to say the least.
I’d pick it up just for shits and giggles.
When I was in high school I saw a game called “Prison Tycoon” in a shopping mall Babbages and bought it for my brother as a dumb Christmas gift. I was in the store with a friend and we were kind of in shock. I remember my friend making a comment like “The box cover is just a cop beating a black man with a baton, how many people are involved in getting a game stocked by shopping malls?”
