Chulip Chulip is a PS2 game. The object of the game is to kiss everyone in town. I think you are some kind of monkey mailman?  I don't know much about it but I have always wanted to play it  Mister Mosquito  Another odd PS2 game. In Mister Mosquito, you play a mosquito. Your job is to suck the blood from a family without getting killed or annoying them too much or something. I also haven't played this but it is on my list!! Here is a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZpzlNUH_Hc I know a lot of other weird retro games cause I used to collect retro games pretty regularly. I will think of more!

I've got a one! Papers, Please  Papers, Please is a game in which you play as an immigration officer for a fictional country by the name of Arstotzka. It centers around trying to do your job correctly so that you can afford to keep your very poor family alive and, by doing so, grappling with rejecting people from entering the country (who are often refugees, and Arstotzka is their last safe haven). Gameplay mostly consists of checking people's IDs, passports, etc., looking for inconsistencies and deciding whether to either approve or deny their entry. Do your job correctly and efficiently, and you'll be paid barely enough to keep your family fed, housed, and healthy, but you'll inevitably send some strangers to their deaths, or tear their families apart. Have mercy on them and approve them even though they're not allowed to enter, however, and you'll slowly watch your own family deteriorate. As the game goes on, the requirements for entry become more and more stringent and arcane, making your job more difficult. I've never played a game that's tugged on my heartstrings in such a drab, dreary, depressing way. It's a really great thing. Play it!

Pony Island Yes I realize what the name is, but the name has nothing to do with the actual game. It's subversive as gently caress from the very outset, to the point where any discussion of it could be misconstrued as a spoiler. There was one moment in particular that confused the gently caress out of me and had me alt tabbing out of the game to figure out what was going on. IT IS NOT A GAME ABOUT PONIES http://store.steampowered.com/app/405640/ |

The Static Speaks my Name This one fall more into the category of "art project" than game but it has some interesting things going for it throughout. It's a tad predictable but I still found it enjoyable. It's free on steam and can be played through in like 10 minutes so it's worth giving a try to see if you like/hate it. http://store.steampowered.com/app/387860/ |

Darkman Fanpage posted:anyone remember rare's viva piñata? I really wanted to play that when it came out, but I never got to. Time for a fighting game themed post, because that's tangentially related to a few weird ones in that one was made by the same people, and I found the others on a blog about physics games (that I can't find now) back in like 2005, which also mentioned Lugaru, the predecessor to the first game on the list. First, Overgrowth  A game being made by the same people as Receiver, this is a fighting game with furries. Notably, the fights are more about physical momentum than combos and such, because the game is heavily physics-based and you have very little health. Plays differently from other fighting games, so that's why I'm mentioning it here. Sumotori Dreams  Also a physics-based fighting game, this one primarily revolves around the fact that the fighters are walking around using the physics engine, and aren't just playing animations. Because of this, they have a fancy algorithm for staying balanced while walking around, and it basically means that this is Drunken Combat Simulator. Toribash  Also a physics based fighting game, but this one is more like chess than wrestling. Instead of predefined attacks, the player controls each individual joint on their character, and, once both players have done whatever modifications they want, the game is advanced by around 10 frames. In most game modes, someone wins when either A) the other person is disqualified for touching the ground with something other than a foot or a hand, B) the other person is disqualified for going out of bounds, or C) the round ends (usually rounds are about 500 frames) and they did more damage than the other person. Once you get really good at this you can do crazy maneuvers like ripping your own arm off and throwing it like a boomerang at the other person, then grabbing them with the disembodied arm and unbalancing them.

LSD on the original Playstation sounds pretty odd. Never came to the west so I never played it, but I would have played the crap out of it as a teenager if it had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol4OSIGGukA You're exploring randomly generated dream environments made with primitive ps1 graphics. I assume it would be a very lonely, spooky experience. ---------------- |

Crow_Rodeo posted:I really like Uplink by Introversion. for those who have not played it's a simulation of early 90's Hollywood style computer hacking, and it's a blast. The soundtrack is killer too. Uplink is pretty rad and in a similar vein there's (freeware!) Endgame: Singularity where you play as an accidentally created AI trying to stay hidden while also trying to grow more powerful. It is fairly simple but also cool.

Music Theory posted:That one had a lot of weird stuff that I wish was still in the newer ones in at least some capacity. Like the mayor asking you to take care of the lighthouse, or the summer minigames thing. SS13 is a little hard to wrap your head around at first, but it is very open ended and fun - I usually grew a bunch of rainbow space weed and tried to get the whole space station high

Anodyne No fancy thumbnail unfortunately. Anodyne is an interesting game that seems to take inspiration from Yume Nikki. You are a fellow named Young, and you must fight and explore your way through your subconscious. You are armed with a broom and appear to have some... issues that need working through. |

Speaking of weird console games, Rez is one of the best and strangest besides Seaman. Rez was developed by some of the same people responsible for Panzer Dragoon and is still probably one of the best shooter experiences out there. Rez was originally released on the Dreamcast but then received a PS2 port. The Japanese PS2 version came with one of the most notorious peripherals -- a vibrator that kept time with the game. Rez is a rhythm based rail shooter where you play as a hacker on a deep dive in an AI overwhelmed by her recent achievement of self-awareness. Your shots integrate with the music, and the better you are, the better that sounds. The electronic soundtrack and in-game visualizer created a synaesthetic experience that was pretty unique at the time and, in my opinion, hasn't been matched very often since. Rez received an HD release on XBox Live some years back, but I don't know if it's still available on the current iteration of that service. A sequel, Children of Eden, was released in 2011. A remake of Rez is due next month for the PS VR peripheral. |

Tail of the Sun is another weird PS1 game. It's kind of a weird open world game where you are a caveman and you run around and eat fruit and kill poo poo. The ultimate goal of the game is to get enough bones and crap to build a tower to the sun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GATC5GDoIss

Raw Danger is a real dumb and good PS2 game, the classic and clunky charming kind that don't really get made much less localized anymore.  You have to try and stay warm and dry and eat while surviving completely ridiculous situations and uncover the ~PLOT~ across the stories of five (or six technically? i only really remember four) goofy characters all in lovely situations during the storm, making dumbass choices along the way. There is an annoying mechanic where you can yell 'HEY' or 'WHATS THAT' depending on the character and it is a really good way to piss off people you're living with. also you get to play as a taxi driver and try to outrun the RAW DANGER in a taxi with real good driving mechanics. when they localized this game they made like all the characters blonde and Ramen became Hamburger because America etc. I found a copy for $5 at Toys R Us and it was packaged with christmas box like it was begging to be given away but I kept it out of greed and curiousity and was amazed, RIP Playstation 2. also like the cover says, epic visuals. this isn't really a strange or unusual indie game but i wanted to talk about it |

Brain Dead 13 I've never played Dragon's Lair or anything, so this was my only exposure into 'interactive' fmv type games. First released in 1995 for dos, it saw releases on all of the major consoles of its time. I remember not fully understanding why it was fun, or if it was, but the work that went into the animation and design was amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaTTI2qyT4Y |
