10 Video Games That Made You Say "What Were They THINKING?!"

10. Are Sega Trying To Get Sued? - Revenge Of Shinobi

Due to its diverse gameplay, impressive level design, and catchy music, Revenge of the Shinobi is regarded as one of the best platformers of its time. Any gamer raised in the early 1990s should have fond memories of this hack-and-slash title.

However, gamers should also recall how Revenge of Shinobi stuffed its levels with so many copyrighted characters, it was like Sega was trying to get sued.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary at first, since the first few levels are populated by ninja enemies. But as you progress, you'll notice all the gun-toting goons look suspiciously like Rambo.

Just when you thought you were imagining things, you fight a boss in a junkyard who's clearly meant to be the Hulk. When he dies, he suddenly transforms into the Terminator! Soon after, you'll find yourself battling Spider-Man and Batman.

In the penultimate level, you also come face to face with the King of the Monsters himself, Godzilla. Considering how protective Toho is of the Godzilla property, it's bewildering why Sega thought they could get away with such blatant copyright infringement.

Unsurprisingly, the company were forced to change these characters' appearance in later versions of the game.
