I agree with you on Tax Avoiders. Same reason I bought it too. However, I think Plaque Attack is weirder.

I think that Worm War 1 is a weird game. It's still an awesome game, but I think it's weird.

Ha, no doubt about WW1. I'd like a copy of that but can't seem to find it. My sister works in a game store that sells all kinds of old games but she's never come across a copy.

I copped some WW1 sound effects and used them in the intro to one of the songs I recorded as a little inside joke that nobody but me and my siblings get: http://soundclick.co....cfm?id=9673685

As for weird games, I'll see your Worm War and raise you a Cosmic Creeps.

Surprised no one has said E.T. That one's always been a weird one for me.



Also Donkey Kong.....I believe my copy of that is haunted. Plus it has one of the strangest sounds.

Fast Food, Megamania, and Journey Escape all come to mind, but the single weirdest game I've ever played on the VCS is probably Walker, aka Clown Down Town, aka Schussel, der Polizistenschreck. It has this incredibly dreary East German vibe to it -- it's kind of the "Worker and Parasite" of VCS sidescrolling character games. The backgrounds are beautiful, but the gameplay is as if someone read about video games in a poorly translated book, and tried to implement the idea as best they could.
Yes, Clown Down Town is pretty weird - but I like it! "It has this Incredibly dreary East German vibe to it" - very interesting!

And don't forget Fire Spinner!
