Oh god no do not mention that hideous electronic nightmare on this hallowed thread. Damn, that game was so vile, even the people who made it realised what a horrible creation it was.

And then 4 years after everybody had forgotten about it, some news network dragged it up, claiming it had been newly released, and used it to claim that the Japanese are all perverts who like molesting innocent women, completely ignoring the fact that it was as well recieved in Japan as it was over here-that is to say, not at all.

Hmmm, Lollipop Chainsaw is kinda odd, awesome though. I always thought Populus was pretty wierd, really loved it though.

And then a certain french reviewer got his hands on it, and so public knowledge spread even further.

Sorry, too immature not to snigger.

Frantix is the most oddest game ever and it has a short movie where it shows darth vader arm wrestling yoda and then hampster things eating everyone and a small alien and the goal of the game is to get stuff.

You are a Carpenter/Plumber from who knows where (I think Brooklyn)
You first save some random girl from a big ape
You then have to clear sewers full of evil turtles and crabs
Then you remove yourself from the earth as you travel across strange lands with sentient mushrooms, turtles, dinosaurs, various power ups with eyes, trying to find that princess that always seems to be in another castle, etc etc

And then you find out that it was all a dream because your 2nd platformer game was a reskin of Doki Doki

And then you go play some golf

Mario makes sense if you look at the underlying message, the Mario games are about giving up your day job and doing something you really want to do.

In Mario's case, that was to quit the plumbing industry and start doing mushrooms...

As for me, wierd games would have to include the Earthworm Jim ones, and a game/series for the N64 called Chameleon Twist, you were an antropomorphic chameleon in a variety of worlds including a japansese haunted mansion and a world made entirely out of cake and sweeties...

All you do is fly around and suck people's blood....all while avoiding detection and other hazards.

EDIT - I'll agree with Katamari Damacy being pretty weird also...but the King of All Cosmos always gave me a good laugh with some of the random crap he says

Ill agree on this one as well, it was a rather strange game

Now I come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Blinx the Time Sweeper deserves a mention. One of my favourites...

yeah that was a weird game, but very good.
