10 Outrageously Dirty Secrets You Won’t Believe Are Hidden In Children’s Games

2. Adventures From The Bowl €“ Toilet Kids

The Japanese. Fine culture, lovely food, lovers of snapping everything in sight. Nice bunch of people. Unfortunately they're also the masterminds behind the aptly named 'Toilet Kids', a deeply-disturbing game that probably never should have seen the light of day. Released in 1992, Toilet Kids literally stars one or two children being sucked down into a hideous, nightmare-ish world inside a toilet. What follows is sheer insanity. Toilet-themed idiocy ranging from flying a toilet-shaped ship to rooting around in massive piles of dung for items are all included in this deeply troubling title.
You know you're in for a treat when the cutscene at the start of the game literally starts with the top image. There's an even more disturbing one than this where the protagonist literally stands there with his trousers down, but I decided to spare you that one. Not good enough for ya? How about some super-shiny golden poos to collect? Other gems experienced in this beyond-disturbing game include the word 'FLOWER' spelt out in diarrhea on the wall, excrement and urine continuously being thrown at you by enemies, tortoises with very dirty shells, farting beetles and god-knows what else. I'm really not sure what the people who created this game were on. They're either high on something, or really into some weird stuff. To conceive a scrolling shoot-em up that takes place in a world inside a toilet, inspired by the toilet and the antics we get up to on the toilet all combine together to make me think that the people who constructed toilet kids really need help. On the other hand, what other game can you see a whale with poo for eyes?
Surely it can't get any weirder, can it? Wrong.
