Description

NOTE: As usual, this is limited to games that I actually own. I mostly have North American games, so keep that in mind as well.


The Amazing Virtual Sea-Monkeys

To be fair, this cover pretty much HAD to be weird since it's based on sea monkeys. Yes, there is a game about the sea monkeys. I'm a bit of a collector of weird games, so this was a no-brainer.

Beyond the normal "sea monkey weirdness", what's up with the "Premium Value Product" and corresponding "PVP" logo all over this thing? I'm pretty sure there's nothing "premium" about this game.

Builder's Block

Umm...I don't even know what this is. Or what it's supposed to be. There are blue...things and a checkerboard floor. Oh, it's Jaleco. Got it.

Tecmo Stackers

Yeah! This game is one of my favorite puzzle games. It's basically Puyo Puyo with tentacles. Think about that for a minute.

...

...

Okay, now that you've thought about that, let's move on. I mean, look at those little dudes! That red one is super evil, the purple one is drunk, and the blue one on the left apparently just tooted. And the left green one liked it.

Eggs of Steel: Charlie's Eggcellent Adventure

Oh my, where to begin? There's an egg who appears to be a construction worker. Actually, I'm just going to stop right there.

Nope, I at least have to point out the cringe-worthy "eggcellent" pun. groan

Cyber Sled

I really don't want box art that appears to be a dude's surprised face caught in the aurora borealis. His eye is apparently ripped out too. Or something, I don't know. I guess it was a sledding injury?

Shadow Tower

Not much to say here other than there's a creepy, blindfolded prisoner dude or something on the cover. You know, nothing unusual for FromSoftware.

Tail of the Sun

Well, this is just a weird game all around. I've played some weird games in my day and this one is right up there among the weirdest. I still have no idea how to play or what I'm supposed to do in it. Anyways, the cover is weird since it appears to be an angry sun, though it doesn't have a tail.

Air Hockey (2000)

Okay, so this one isn't that weird...except for that bloody "Air" font. I mean "bloody" as in it's like out of a horror film or something. I can hear the trailer now: "Can you survive this game? Coming soon...AIR HOCKEY! Death from a-puck." I feel like if I were to play this game, my little paddle would be decapitated or something.

But hey, it's fast-paced family fun!

Goal Storm

This one seems so weird to me because it's so lazy. You have a solid black background with the name of the game covering 75% of the cover with a soccer player and the Konami logo underneath it. I mean, how long did it take them to put this one together? Five minutes?

Parasite Eve II

Don't get me wrong, I loved this game (and series) and actually really like the cover art here. But for some reason, it's always struck me as a little odd. Aya seems like she's passed out on the street or something.
