Give Me Your Weird Retro Games

The Haunting Starring Polterguy has always been a favorite. You play a dead teen haunting the mafia family who solid him the skateboard that killed him

this is awesome. it kinda has the same feeling maniac mension did specifically when putting the hamster in the microwave.

Pretty much ALL of Jeff Minter's gaming output could be considered weird

This is a goofy and entertaining game that plays like WarioWare in that it just blasts you with random mini games you learn on the fly. Some hilarious stuff. Very fun on two player!

Hebereke. A Famicom metroidvania-lite. Its writing is exceedingly weird and nonchalant. Just a goofy game with great music that doesn’t take itself very seriously, during a time where doing that kind of thing WAS very weird.

Segagaga. An RPG for the Dreamcast about managing SEGA, released mere months before their exit from the console business. You’ll fight their characters from every era (both arcade and home console), rogue employees, and it even gives a canonical tragic backstory to Alex Kidd where he was replaced by Sonic the Hedgehog as SEGA’s mascot. He even gives some truly inspirational words on not giving up and moving forward.
Here is the moment, translated by SEGA officially.

(Evidence of this moment.)

Also this happens.

It’s a strange, inspirational, and very heartfelt game that feels like the ultimate swansong for SEGA as a hardware maker.
Also, five days ago, we got an update saying the English fan translation is in the home stretch of development, so here’s to us being able to play SEGAGAGA in the next year or so!
