Now that’s the sort of game I’d play.
There’s tons of games that are surreal, and trippy. It all depends on your perspective, on what makes something trippy and surreal.
I think myst is pretty surreal as well…
Also Xenogears (one of my favs) i think is quasi-surreal. Such as the scene with an all black screen, and ominous music playing, and the text comes up and says “I am the alpha and the omega…”
I think that whole game is trippy/surreal…just the way everything falls together…and the whole plot about solaris, and everything.
Makes me wanna play it again.
Koudelka was slightly surreal, although the most trippy game I’ve ever played is strangely, Pacman on the old arcade machines.

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.
Yeah, but I don’t have an Xbox.:ah-ha!: (bada-ching!)
Is Koudelka worth getting? I’ve heard a lot about it but never seen any reviews…
What about Frequency. That was pretty surreal if you got into it fully. Your fingers dont know what they’re doing. 0_o
I dunno. Probably Digimon World. It’s still beyond me how a game could suck that much.
Anyone who ever played Pitfighter on the SNES would agree that sucked the most.
What about Rib Ribbon. That was cool-as-hell, but also surreal.
In my opinion Koudelka is worth getting at the price you can buy it for. Hell, I was making a shrine for it until I lost my first disc ;_; (Which I’m still trying to find). It is slightly hard to find here in England now though.

Yeah, I’m with TD. iS is really trippy 
In a giant kaleidoscope? Wow…

Trip away, folks 8P Import this puppy if you want to have a trip without the need of drugs 8D
I always thought that 7th Guest and The 11th Hour were relatively surreal.
But they were also pure crap, and are not worth mentioning in any coversation ever. Just my opinion. Graphic ‘Adventures’ are usually lame, unless they’re made by Lucasarts.
IS is the next game I’m buying when I have the money.
Aren’t we talking about surreal, not drug-induced?
ICO and Archangel.
Both of those games seem more like dreams to me. ICO has the blind princess meeting a horned boy and trying to escape from shadow beings. It’s not so much the story as it is the general atmosphere and the look of things.
Same thing with Archangel. It’s all angels and demons, but the angels don’t look like the typical representation. They’re more flowing, ethereal beings with wisps of energy for wings. It has a decent polygon count, but the details aren’t high, and it helps with the atmosphere. A lot of the world is obscured by fog, also.
It’s a Square game? Wow. Not would I would expect of the RPG Gods.

Looks interesting. I might see if I can pick it up when it’s released over here. If ever. You know how Square is.:thud:
Internal Section was a Playstation game. Don’t expect it. Import it from DG’s link if you want it.
hallucinogens have surreal side effects 8P.

Oh. sux0r.:thud:
Some scenes of The Dig were quite surreal. Also Unreal 1 on single player.
I played a text-based game of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that was pretty trippy. Also, I’ve always felt Lemmings was definitely surreal in a “hooray, this is so peppy and fun…hundreds of lemmings fall to their deaths! ^^” And remember Mischief Makers? THAT game was definitely drug-induced. Best. Game. Ever. But still drug-induced.
SHAKE SHAKE!
Oh yeah, and Maniac Mansion for the NES. Definitely made by designers on drugs. I have no question about it, and it’s not even a joke. Actually most games for the NES were made by people intoxicated in one way or another (including Kirby’s Adventure, which actually is the best, most solid, most untiringly fun game ever made).
