Message: [QUOTE="Spike, post: 11, member: 1"] [HEADING=3]1. Monster Party[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" alt="115622-MonParty.gif"]27[/ATTACH] A side-scrolling action game where you play as Mark, a kid armed with a baseball bat who teams up with a gargoyle named Bert to fight through bizarre horror-themed levels. The game is a fever dream of surreal enemies, from a giant onion ring to a killer fried shrimp. Its sudden shifts in tone—from goofy to grotesque—make it an unsettling experience. [HEADING=3]2. Wurm: Journey to the Center of the Earth[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="259px" alt="WURM 5.png"]28[/ATTACH] A hybrid of side-scrolling shooter, platformer, and first-person adventure. Players control a drilling machine through underground caverns filled with hostile creatures. The game’s genre-blending mechanics and its oddly philosophical storyline make it stand out. The narrative dives into existential themes, which is unusual for an NES game. [HEADING=3]3. Zombie Nation[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="270px" alt="56786-Samurai_Zombie_Nation_(USA)-1498521536.png"]29[/ATTACH] A shooter where you control a giant floating samurai head named Namakubi, who spits out eyeballs and vomit to destroy enemies and save America from an alien invasion. The concept of playing as a decapitated samurai head that shoots projectiles from its mouth is bizarre enough, but the game's strange enemy designs and chaotic levels take it to another level. [HEADING=3]4. Clash at Demonhead[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" alt="Clash_at_Demonhead_NES_Apollo_sword.png"]30[/ATTACH] An open-world action platformer where you play as Bang, a secret agent trying to stop a doomsday device from destroying the world. The game features a non-linear world, quirky characters, and a plot that includes ancient demons and cybernetic enhancements. The mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and humor is refreshingly odd. [HEADING=3]5. A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="279px" alt="ABoyHisBlobTroubleInBlobonia8 (1).png"]32[/ATTACH] A puzzle-platformer where you guide a boy and his blob companion through a series of challenges using jellybeans that transform the blob into various useful shapes. The concept of feeding jellybeans to a blob to solve puzzles is strange enough, but the game’s quirky mechanics and lack of explanation for anything happening around you make it truly weird. [HEADING=3]6. Taboo: The Sixth Sense[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" alt="unnamed.png"]33[/ATTACH] Not a game in the traditional sense, Taboo is a tarot card reading simulator that offers vague predictions about the player's future. It’s more of a digital fortune-teller than a game, with no actual gameplay or objective. The idea of using your NES to predict your future feels out of place and odd. [HEADING=3]7. Time Diver: Eon Man[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="241px" alt="Time Diver Eon Man_Aug9 2_57_54.png"]34[/ATTACH] A side-scrolling platformer where you play as Dan Nelson, a man who must travel through time to prevent disasters that could alter history. The game was never officially released in North America, and its mix of time-travel narrative with bizarre enemies like mermen and robots in anachronistic settings is disorienting. [HEADING=3]8. Mendel Palace[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="249px" alt="Mendel-Palace-NES-02.webp"]35[/ATTACH] A puzzle game where you must flip floor tiles to defeat hordes of animated dolls and clear each stage. The game’s surreal, doll-themed enemies and the fact that the entire gameplay revolves around flipping tiles give it an unusual feel. The unsettling atmosphere of battling doll-like creatures adds to the weirdness. [HEADING=3]9. Yo! Noid[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="252px" alt="10755474.jpg"]36[/ATTACH] A platformer where you play as the Noid, a mascot for Domino’s Pizza, as he battles his way through New York City. The idea of a pizza mascot being the protagonist of an NES game is already strange, but the bizarre mini-games and the fact that it’s a reskinned Japanese game just make it even weirder. [HEADING=3]10. Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" alt="Princess-Tomato-127.jpg"]37[/ATTACH] A text-based adventure game where you play as Sir Cucumber, tasked with rescuing Princess Tomato from the evil Minister Pumpkin in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic vegetables. The entire game is a vegetable-themed adventure, with puzzles and dialogue that are as quirky as the concept. The sheer absurdity of a world where cucumbers, tomatoes, and pumpkins interact like humans makes it one of the strangest NES titles. [/QUOTE]
