AnthonyVolpe Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I'm sure most of you people don't play videogames for their comic value, but what would you folks say is the funniest videogame ever? (intentionally or unintentionally) My vote goes to Bangai-O for the Dreamcast. Intentionally poor Japanese translation, boss characters that literally just sit there and do nothing, enemies that talk by drawing pictures in crayon ? and of course the ability to fire 400 missiles at a time out of a giant mech piloted by two kids barely in their teens. That's my kinda game right there. Honorable mentions: MDK 2 - brilliant on every level Serious Sam - gets its laughs by overwhelming you with 100 enemies to kill at the same time, most of whom are headless and running directly at you with a bomb in each hand NARC - the original arcade game... nothing like blowing the limbs off of a bunch of drug dealers for $0.25 a pop Any others?

The Daisy Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 For me? It's locked in with the Monkey Island Series. Those games just killed me. Silly slapstick humor that was incredibly well delivered. Honorable Mention: Sam and Max. I can't wait to see what they have them do in the next game. Space Quest. It's been a while since I've played them, but they were all great to me. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Space Quest Series Hands down. Will never forget the adventures of Roger Wilco Janitor First class capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 The only one that comes to mind right away was Earthworm Jim. I remember a level in the second game where you had to bounce a repeating series of puppies on a marshmallow as the bad guy continued to toss them off of a tower. If you missed one they would land with a splat and the father, who was watching from the sidelines, would chew you a new one. Then there was the level made entirely of bacon, eggs and forks. Another that took place inside a digestive system and nonsensical quizzes at the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 The last space quest also had a level where you went inside a human body. Funny stuff as the game was called "The Spinal Frontier" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll have to make my vote for this one too. Crack out the Tang and the little cereal boxes with the perforated backs. I love that crap!

matt Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I really liked Conker's BFD. That game was good on many levels, and I actually played through it twice, which is very rare these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlucci Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I haven't played any of the games mentioned so far, but I gotta say Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc had me laughing out loud. That Globox is a cut-up! Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Funny stuff as the game was called "The Spinal Frontier" I far prefer the original subtitle they had planned, "Where In Corpsman Santiago is Roger Wilco?" :green: Monkey Island for me. The first one is just great laughs throughout, though Sam & Max is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends and I used to go the arcade to play Trog and we would literally have tears in our eyes from that game. Same thing with Smash TV, Total Carnage, and the Mortal Kombat games. I'll echo the Sam & Max and Space Quest mentions. Those guys who made Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Armed & Dangerous are pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I have to give the nod to Giants: Citizen Kabuto. That game actually has me considering Armed and Dangerous now that it's $29.99 at Best Buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Maybe not the funniest ever, but Munch's Oddyssey really made me laugh at parts. Great topic, Anthony! -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Boogerman for Sega Genesis. The only game I've ever played where you flick boogers and fart on your enemies. It was funny because it was just so different then anything else I had ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great topic, Anthony! -j I'm sure Tetris Worlds will be the funniest game ever if I can ever coordinate my schedule with Smitty and Jay. Just the surrealism of first playing Rainbow Six 3 and trying to coordinate a hostage rescure, then to dropping a bunch of goofy-ass bricks while those two are verbally teabagging me as I try to survive Level 9. Then again I don't see the point in the headset during Tetris Worlds because all I'm going to hear out of it are intermittent swear words as people screw up. Oh, almost forgot... more funny games: Armed and Dangerous - I like my humor sick and relentless, and this fits the bill The Sims Bustin' Out - funny in a very bizarre way... hearing people talk gibberish and juggle with word balloons over their heads is worth the price Disgaea: Hour of Darkness - any RPG where you can enter your weapon and kill what's inside it to level it up has GOT to be funny. Sadly I've never played any SPace Quest or Sam & Max games. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I still can't get over the joke Konami played on everyone with Metal Gear Solid 2. They are still laughing about that one. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Sam and Max Hit the Road - without question (though an honorable mention to Space Quest games too) "There once was a man named John Muir A naturalist noble and pure! His love for all beasties The most and the leasties Has never been equaled. For sure!" "Sam the dead animal heads are talking to me." I'm just glad I had the foresight in my youth and shelled out big bucks (well back then it was big bucks) to the Lucasarts catalogue for the signed cover lithograph (/brag off).
