mirrors edge – release in January looks amazing.

Also

Ren and Stimpy for the SNES wins at being a bit of a gross out… worth a rom if only for the part where you dodge nerves and hide in cavities in a half rotten mouth.

OddWorld: Abe’s Adventure Great odd art.

Chulip.

It is a Japanese game about kissing, and possibly poop.

You wander around a town kissing people (This is horrifying) from a Gimp to a crazy statue guy and a whole bunch of other….unique characters… all to build up your heart so you can work towards kissing the girl of your dreams.

It’s weird to describe in words, so I recommend doing some googling.Log in to see images!

Captain Novolin, a game for the Super Nintendo series, that is based on a hero having diabetes, no joke! The game is based on evading bad-guys and balancing your food & insulin intake, it was originally made only for kids who had this condition, as to help them cope with having type 1 diabetes, but it’s good for an overall laugh, as the series was horribly made and incredibly short-lived.

I Wanna Be The Guy, another insane game, based completely on the basis of a kid becoming a hero. The game is basically like a one shot deal, as there is no easy way to complete the game. You must dodge EVERYTHING, and your weapon is a very teeny pistol, that deals minimal damage to the most unlikely of monsters. The game gets extremely challenging & there are save points everywhere, which I highly recommend you use, except in Insane Mode, where there is only one… The game is freeware, so I will post a link to it.

Hobowars!

You pretend to be a hobo but you somehow make millions of dollars off begging and you’re a super fighter with tron armor and a lightsaber. YEAH! Don’t forget to stop by the messageboards and whine about how much your life sucks, and how much Hobowars sucks even though you continue to log in day after miserable day.

Seriously, it’s pretty weird when you think about it.

Suggesting Dwarf Fortress if no one has suggested it yet. Also try out Magical Drop 3, it’s an awesome puzzle game for the Neo Geo (I’m sure you can find a backup copy that would run on your pc as long as you made sure to purchase the game first because roms are illegal unless they’re backup copies, you dig?)

Sanitarium, it’s weird as ****, creepy in places, and was developed on hardware that is probably older then yours but still looks good. You play an amnesiac that wakes up in an insane asylum just as a fire starts to ravage the place.

holy carp this contest is still going on lol

Close the ****ing contests when they finish goddamit.

It’s full of closed contests out there Log in to see images! Bandaney edited this message on 11/23/2008 5:27PM

Dude, two PC games I recommend: Black and White, and Age of Mythology. I didn’t read through the whole thread to see if they’ve been mentioned, if so, sorry.

In Black and White you play as a God. You have a creature under your control, which is a giant tiger, cow, monkey, or something else I forget… (Mine’s a tiger.) You start out with one village and fairly limited powers – you can throw rocks for miles, purify tainted food, burn forests… you use these powers to gain belief from the other villages on the map. The more belief, the more power. At first you’re fairly weak so you need your creature to gain belief on your behalf. And of course you can be good… or evil. You compete with other Gods, going to battle with your powerful creatures and sic’ing your villagers on each other. There’s a sequel to the game I haven’t played that I hear has some neat accessories – like a glove so you can really move “the hand of God” properly.

In Age of Mythology, you’re no specific character in the game, but you still control a small village. You lead it through four ages of development – Stone, Iron, Bronze, Heroic – and in each one choose a God to worship. This God gives you one God Power to use in battle, like Earthquake. This is a much more traditional strategy-based game, where you compete with the computer or in multiplayer for resources or outright domination. It has got some whacked cheat codes though – like Goatunheim, which turns everyone into goats, Bawk Bawk Boom which gives the “exploding rain of chickens” God Power, wuv woo which gives you a giant flying purple hippo, wearing a top hat, leaving a trail of rainbows, attacking by spitting paper hearts at ground units… O Canada, which gives you a fast-moving bear wearing the Canadian flag as a cape, shooting lazers from his eyes, with two pet monkeys at his side… his description reads “The true north, strong and free.”

So, yes, my two favourite PC games. It may not be possible to get the original Black and White anymore, but I hear the sequel is even better, as long as your computer can handle the graphics. I just haven’t had time for these since… grade eleven, I think.
