I remember a really cool game from when I was real little. I can't remember the name though.

I remember it had talking slugs, a purple cat, a scene where tiny people tie you up, and a queen that insults constantly. I think it was an adventure game.

The game is called Torin's Passage. And yeah, it was kinda wierd. k:

On the Amiga, there was this game called Odyssey and the baddies kept saying "Ooga" on impact. I thought that was highly annoying. :blink:

I recall a text-based adventure game from a ways back called The Prisoner. It simulated the trapped environment in which the hero found himself in the cult television series by first changing the keystroke effects of your keyboard--so you lacked control over what you could do, until you learned the new rules imposed on you. And then they would change, from time to time. Incredibly frustrating, and quite brilliant.

Something I alwys considered as weird is in a quite normal game:

Track and Field, an athletic sports game.

In track and field the controls for running fast or gathering power in weightlifting for example is to push two (mostly the same) buttons alternately. To perform really good you gotta push so fast that it's really hard to do. We made up that we call it mopping or swabbering...
Plus, not the person wins who plays most deftly, which you actually could expect from an track and field game but the person wins who can push fastest. The best swabberer!!!

Last year I was playing a game at my friends house that he got off the net and it was really random. Only I have forgotten the name and what site he downloaded it from.

Well, one of the games in this site, Monty Python Flying Circus, is at least as weird and funny as the show it takes its name from. You throw dead fish to enemies such as flying feet or XVIII century european monarchs, cowboy-gigantic chickens and other surrealistic things. Also you switch bodies between levels, from a normal one to a fishy one, or even a bouncing boot.
The plot has something to do with you trying to recover your brains, which have been kidnapped after escaping your skull. The ransom asked for them involved some particular kind of food.
All in all, quite weird.

There was also that game, Astrotits, that had some curious elements, some of them involving hamsters, I think.
