You know, games that give you a feeling of unreality. Like it would be real but isn’t. “Trippy” sorta stuff.
I don’t know why, but the Might and Magic series always had that sort of quality. Maybe it was the metaplot or something, but it always seemed surreal.
Spot the LSD: you have a big sheet of paper and you have to take turns to spot the LSD with your tongue, only 1 tongue spot per person per turn. The person who gets “trippy” wins.
Shadows of Destiny. Your character dies alot, and he’s brouhgt back to life by a being called Homunculus. You’re given a small time machine to go back in time and prevent your own death. You go as far back as 1500 something I think.
I think that unreleased Splatterhouse game for the NES is pretty unreal.
At one point, there’s this girl lying on a table, and suddenly, her chest bursts open and an assload of spiders flies out. After you kill them all, her chests closes up, and the girl gets up, yawns, and walsk away.
NiGHTS into Dreams for the Sega Saturn. Imagine a racing game where you fly around, try to paraloop little monsters that get in your way, collect blue orbs to destroy a giant machine, and all the time drug induced music is playing in the background. THEN you get to fight a boss that is generally some drug induced creation like a cat that bounces around on top of exploding mice or a fat rabbit Opera singing bouncy ball. All this time, the levels are so bright and vibrant with such surreal colors that it’s just wow. I can’t think of any games to give an example of the colors because I don’t think any exist.
I think System Shock 2 would qualify, and I’d say System Shock 1 would too if i had ever played it.
Edit: If you’ve never played SS2, you can dl it from here . If that doesnt work just go here and search for system shock 2.
Actually, the XBox would be the one that seems to make the most sense if they ported NiGHTS. NiGHTS came with a special 3D pad that in retrospect seems to have been what the DC controller was based off of. And since we all know the XBox controller just stole the DC controller design, the system with the controller best suited for NiGHTS would be the XBox.

Nah, GC has much better stick and the button placement isn’t as crap.
