We aren’t trying to discourage anybody from PC gaming. After all, weird doesn’t mean bad. If anything, this list celebrates the immense diversity of PC gaming over the past three decades. There’s room on the market for far more than highly-produced, complex strategy games or simple and gory zombie or Nazi-based first-person-shooters.

These games are proof that PC gaming is limited only by our very own (sometimes quite disturbing) imaginations. So sit back and get ready to explore some of the weirdest concepts anyone has ever thought to turn into a game.

1. Tongue of the Fatman

Yup. It’s called Tongue o the Fatman. And that’s about all you need to know. An old beat-em-up-style fighting game, the most prominent character is a fairly overweight gentleman named Mordu. Does his have a tongue in his mouth? Probably. But the tongue referenced in the title is the one protruding directly from his roll-full belly. In fact it’s just below the eyes peeking out from beneath his chest… uh… muscles?

For obvious reasons, the fatman can’t do much jumping around himself, so his belly tongue does all the work, lashing out at his opponents, most of which aren’t any less weird. There’s Edwina the Amazon warrior with a mohawk that somehow doubles as a deadly whip, Puff Boy, who seems to ejaculate some type of alien goo as a weapon and Behemoth, who stands on his arms and shoots fireballs out of his arse. Someone is probably scarred for life after designing the characters for this game.

2. Toilet Tycoon

This game also falls into a fairly well-known, totally normal genre: industrial management. There have been plenty of railroad and traffic-management games and plenty of others where you play as the CEO of a new company — even one where you own a gaming studio. But obviously those were all just to prepare you for making and selling toilets.

It’s a safe investment — I mean, who doesn’t need to poop right? And who hasn’t looked at a toilet and thought, “Gee, who made that, where did they get the raw materials and how can I get in on some of that action?!” There was even talk of a sequel that would include the politics of toilet-based entrepreneurship. Developers must have been creatively constipated though, and it was never released.

3. Wrecked

A crash-dummy simulator? A racing game where all the cars are barely-functioning junkers? Nope. Not that kind of wrecked.

“Wrecked is a game about drugs,” according to the intro. “Lots of young people take drugs these days. Most of them don’t come to serious harm, but some do, and some die. The best way to avoid the risks of drugs is not to use them. So don’t use drugs! But if you do — play wrecked.”

Released at the height of parental worry over the effect of computer games on their teenage children, Wrecked took an interesting approach, making drugs the power-us for your character. Take as many and as much as you can — the end of the game will let you know how much real jail time your stash would get you.

4. Harvester

This game went even further in confronting fears of the effects of computer games, in one of the best but weirdest twists in gaming. We’re all used to a bit of gore in our games, but this one obviously goes over the top. It’s easy to dismiss at the beginning as the creative choice of the developers, but that’s before you find out it’s actually a VR simulation designed to turn gamers into serial killers. Whoa… time to shut down the computer for a bit.

5. The Zoo Race

We all know the Biblical story of Noah and flood, how he welcomed a male and female of every species on his ark, waited out 40 days of the Earth being covered in water, then tried to kill all the animals in a race of species as soon as the flood waters receded. Wait, what??

Yup. That’s the concept behind The Zoo Race. In celebration of the end of the flood, Noah builds a racetrack and somehow gets all the animals to run in the race as he throws exploding barrels at them, blasts them with flamethrowers and rocket launchers and fools them into crashing head-first into brick walls. Oh, and then they all dance…

As we can see, gaming is all fun and games… sort of. There’s a line of weirdness that some games have come dangerously close to crossing. But hey, weird is entertaining!
