10 Weirdest PS1 & PS2 Games That Wouldn't Get Made Today
1. Mr. Mosquito
I'd like to think this game was pitched to Eidos as a vampire game, and when reminded that Eidos had Legacy of Kain, Zoom went, "What else sucks blood...?".
And thus, Mr. Mosquito was born. Or Mr. Moskeeto in PAL regions, because... actually, can someone explain that one to me?
Playing as the titular blood sucker, your mission was to drain increments of that organ-pumping juice to survive the winter from the Yamada family. The catch is only certain areas can be targeted.
Get spotted and you have to fight back, hitting pressure release points that calm down the family member and send them back on their way. Or you die, much like an actual mosquito.
See, it sounds mental, doesn't it?
As much as I would be curious to see Mr. Mosquito return as a fully fledged flight/filching simulator, I can't see any publisher taking on something so niche.
Whilst it holds the crown as the king of mosquito-based gaming, I think it'll only be remembered for its past glory.
