Just came across Weird Dreams for the C64:

Very pretty graphics too, why weren't more C64 games this pretty?

    What the fucking hell was all that?!

    And to answer the question - most likely.
    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.

    That was pretty strange!

    But I think Finger Flashing or Vib Ribbon on the PS1, might still give it a run for it's money.

    very weird, but graphics-wise I cannot believe that is a C64 game! So cool!

    In terms of oddness, I'd think Deus Ex Machina would give it a run for its money. Another World was a very strange game too, I thought.

    I used to have the game Weird Dreams for the Atari ST. It was very strange.

    This was a good game. Really odd. Used to be on a kids TV programme on saturday mornings.

    Never seen it for real, but this sounds like it could be a contender for weirdest game... well, you know what the Japanese are like.

    :lol:

    A true Takeshi's Castle game if ever there was one. I wonder if General Lee was in it aswell ;-)

    Yeah, that's true. I suppose Weird Dreams is a conventional game with odd graphics, but DEM just completely leaves what games were supposed to be.

    I bought Double Take last week and it arrived today. As games go, that's a bit of an odd one. Maybe not up there with Deus Ex Machina but it occupies the level below, at least. :) Controlling a disembodied labcoat and moving objects between parallel universes. Hmmm! I think the Denton Designs boys may have been helping themselves to a few Camberwell Carrots the day they thought up that game. :D

    I originally played that when it appeared on a Sinclair User covertape but I could never make heads or tails of it.

    Necros.

    That description just reminded me of the druggie sequence in Rocky Horror Show, that was pretty "trippy" too... :)
