Bureaucracy	Infocom	1987	A hilarious interactive fiction by Douglas Adams (Author of The Hichhicker's Guide to the Galaxy series of books) based on a real incident in Adam's life triggered by bank's bureaucracy. As the bank was featured in this game, they eventually decided to issue a written apology to Douglas Adams, but sent it to his old address. The entire game experience does not deviate from the theme of bureaucracy. This includes the installation process, feelies, and packaging which denotes the probable lack of the buyer's compliance with the licensing agreement. Also in on the packaging are customer reviews complaining about the game's quirky compatibility with ProDOS, error ridden feelies, unrelated instruction manual, false in-game hints, added time and difficulty of getting the game through customs outside of the USA, errors in printing, difficulty in opening the packaging, inability to register the product which actually required additional payment, and how the game doesn't make any sense. All complaints are true. The game notably does not prominently post a difficulty level; see the spoiler below.[spoiler=show difficulty;hide difficulty]Difficulty Level: \| Junior \| Introductory \| Standard \|[b]>>ADVANCED<<[/b]\| Expert \|[/spoiler] [zerothis]	Amiga

Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster	Midway (Radical Entertainment)	2000	Get ready to step into the shoes of martial arts legend Jackie Chan. Take control of Jackie as you make your way through many dangerous locations. Jackie Chan did all his own motion-captured movements for the game, which means that the game play resembles all of his action packed movies.	PS
Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style	Activision (Paradox Development)	1999	The game asks for a password, before it begins, to access the uncensored version (for those who love bloody hits and head wrests...) : Triangle, Circle, Cross, Cross, Square, Triangle, Circle, Square.***Master The Art of Wu-Tang.

NES
Takeshi no Chousenjou	Taito	1986	[media=youtube]j_RH518LyOk[/media]***Now the gameplay design in this game is most bizarre. You are playing a guy (I think representing the Japanese actor Takeshi Kitano himself) who goes on a search for a big treasure. You start in your home city where you have to prepare some things to undergo a trip to a remote pacific island where the treasure is hidden. Some of the game's puzzles are extremely unusual and unfair. Best example is when you get a non-readable treasure map and to make it readable the simplest! solution is to put it in water and wait between five and ten minutes. If you press a single button before the five minutes are over then it won't work. Or the laughable karaoke sequences that make use of the build-in microphone of the second Famicom controller. The action sequences are also more or less stupid and unfair. There is a hangglider shooter sequence where you can move your glider down, left and right but not up. Extremely difficult. This game put in so much unfair and nonsense gameplay that it is often regarded as a prime example of what Japanese people call a "kusoge" (shitty game). With the difference that Taito in this case exactly wanted this game to be unfair and impossible to solve without a walkthrough. It even makes fun about the player who completes the game by saying that you shouldn't take this game so seriously. Well, with a walkthrough the game is at least enjoyable in a sense that you always wonder that nothing makes sense and what the game designers smoked when they came up with some puzzles and curiosities. Not every game is as memorable as this. The graphical representation of the starting city is quite ok. Music is much too repetitive.	NES
Tokoro-San no Mamorumo Semerumo	Sony (ISCO)	1987	This platform game features the Japanese actor George Tokoro as main protagonist. The creatures in this game are really bizarre. I mean, where else do you see a flying whale with a rocket attached to its back? There are two major negative points in this game. First of all your ammo for the water pistol is limited. But extra ammo is hidden and can only be found by randomly shooting around, thus it feels you are spending too much ammo for finding a bit more. And the second one is the non-linear level structure in the first part of the game. After beating the boss of a level there are several doors, which lead to other levels. However this is quite random. It might actually happen that you move away from your goal into earlier levels again. Combine this with unspectacular gameplay and with graphics and music that even struggle to be average, you get a rather weak game as result. However its not completely unplayable and still a step or two above abysmal games like [game=#181533]Hana no Star Kaidou[/game].	NES
