Good one! I own that thing. I can't even call it a game. You have to choose your dance moves -before- you get to the actual game, but I could never muster the patience to do it!

Taboo: The Sixth Sense doesn't even have all the states for some reason.
Fighting Masters feels like it came from a cereal box.

Why does everyone hate this game so much? There is nothing wrong with it.

Theres nothing wrong with it i've just heard it was bad so its on my list to get plus i think its a awesome concept and even if it wasnt considered a bad game id still want it.

I personally think that Taz-mania for game gear/master system is really bad. But it might just be me.

Robocop 3 is pretty bad.

Oh, by the way, TWJGames, are you going for a full LJN collection?

Far too weird to be good. I'll just throw my copy in the Dispose-All and go play a non-weird game about an overweight plumber in colorful overalls who gains superpowers by wearing animal costumes on a mission to save the humanoid princess of a race of mushroom creatures from a giant turtle.

I didn't steal that line from anyone, I made it up myself thank you :D

At the same time I wasn't saying that it's a bad thing to be weird. Like you pointed out Mario is even more weird when you think about it. Look at most FPS where it falls on to one guy to save everyone! I mean what is the rest of the world doing watching it on TV? Why isn't there a game where you play as the "other guy" The hero's best friend who has to get saved all the time by the hero?

Plants VS Zombies? What have plants got against zombies?

Angry Birds?

The list can go on and on but a platformer based on a TV show where no action happens apart from the protagonist hurting himself, that's a weird concept for a game too.

You know, I read the nes/snes/n64 thing but promptly forgot it. Sorry.

NES
Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde
CheetahMen 2
Where's Waldo
Barbie
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (I'm sure a lot will disagree, but I think it is just awful)
Again look for LJN made games.

SNES
Super 3D Noah's Ark
Home Alone

My take on Home Improvement is that it really belongs on your list. I really think it is a subpar to mediocre platformer. However, it is certainly weird. Part of the premise is that you lose your tools and have to fight dinosaurs to get them back. There might be debate on the terrible but it is certainly weird. It feels like they were making a different game but the company got the home improvement license and slapped it on. However, from the little I played it isn't really terrible. But it's not great and just weird.

Also, if you ever look at a new system pick up a Sega CD. You might be interested in Make My video with Mary Mark. Or even the cult classics of Double Switch and Night Trap. Looking for Weird/Terrible/Horror I bet Night Trap would be your perfect game.

Something that might be interesting to pull up an emulator or get on iOS is Penn and Teller's Desert Bus. You just drive a bus that slowly pulls to the side. Nothing happens. There are sometimes marathons of that game for charity purposes.
