What the hell were they smoking?

At least until now. I hear the DS will have regions. And the PSP WILL have region protection. I'm hoping the DS doesn't. I don't want to have to buy a boot card to play an imported DS game. Handhelds are meant to be taken places. Even if those places are other countries. Handheld + Region Protection = Teh Stoopid.

Hey.. Pop 'n Twinbee music kicks ass. I finally found it on the internet. Along with some other SNES music. Whoo!

The weirdest game I've ever seen is that crazy drum game that has the characters from Oobgarm's avatar. I don't know what it's called - I saw it at the Philly Classic 2004.

I never fully understood how a game like "Uniracers" could have been developed by Nintendo

Maybe because it wasn't developed by Nintendo, but by DMA Design.
Great game.

I've read reviews and seen screenshots of Kid Niki (NES) and does that game looks weird, another is the Incredible Crash Dummies.

Kid Nikki is wierd, but the Japanese sequels look wierder. I guess one of them has an enemy that is either peeing on you or masturbating and shooting semen at you. From the color of the fluid, I'd guess it's the latter.

How 'bout "Synbad Mystery" for the SG-1000. The programmer had some serious "Iron Butterfly" syndrome going down when he made that game!

Aw. Boo hoo. "Published." There. Sorry.

I don't know how all of us could've gone on this long without mentioning the single strangest game ever released for the Dreamcast.

"Seaman"

Playing that game always made for a surreal experience. Unfortunately, all of the important events in the life of my Seaman (e.g. his first words, his first insult, etc.) happened while I was at class. The game actually caused quite a struggle in my mod that year.

"You've been spending too much time with Seaman! When will I get to see him again?!"

"Hey. You were never there for him when he was a baby. You think you can just waltz back into his life all willy-nilly?! Do you honestly think he wants anything to do with you after what you did to him?!"

"Fuck you, bitch!"

I'd really like to believe that conversations like that didn't happen. A lot.

But they did. A lot.

I'm hard pressed to think of any game that's easily capable of breaking up a marriage. "Seaman" is possible of doing just that.

Oh yeah. And it's fucked up. Seriously, have you played that shit?

Here's a game that takes an Arabic Fairy Tale and really makes it trippy...Warping into a book like a Tom Petty music video "I'm running down a dream..." Im sorry but if I have to see weird mask faces flying at me after I grab a key...then I am SERIOUSLY thinking about a 12-step program...but for what? I have NO idea...

[Jasoco]

I just played the Pop 'n Twinbee and Parodius games on an emulator (The ROM's were surprisingly EASY to find.) and I must say wow. I really wish I could get my hands on these games. Even an imported compilation of some sort. I hoped Lik-Sang would turn up some kind of compilation for the Cube or something, but all it found was the Famicom Mini Twinbee. Maybe it's a phase, but I must find this game!

Hmmm, haven't heard of it.

What is it?

Is it really based on a real story? Anyone know which one?
