10 Most Disturbing Clowns In Video Games

5. Kinky Pinky (Narc)

This forgotten arcade game from the late 1980s would probably have fallen into complete and utter obscurity by now if not for its inclusion of a rather disturbing clown, which makes it perfect fodder for these types of lists.

In Narc, you play as a law enforcer who is dispatched to clean up the city's mean streets, and your primary objective is to apprehend criminals - but because this is a shooter, "apprehend" normally means "pump full of lead".

Along the way, you'll take down an entire army of thugs and drug dealers, but easily the most memorable enemy type is the knife-wielding clown known as Kinky Pinky, who will slash and stab wildly if he gets anywhere in your vicinity.

And it gets worse. Not merely content with being a sadistic murderer, Kinky Pinky - as his name sort of hints at - is also in the porn business, and he can be seen kidnapping a young woman during his introductory cutscene.

Yeah... can we go back to forgetting this game now, please?
