10 Weirdest PS1 & PS2 Games That Wouldn't Get Made Today

"Frolf"... no matter how many times you say it, it just sounds daft.
Yet daft as it is, that's what is happening here: frog golf.
It's a weird concept, but back at the turn of the century publishers were pushing all of the boats out. There were more risks then, more random mashups and hybrid types of game.
Ribbit King is one such result: a weird mashup that was a novelty then, but would barely raise an eyebrow these days.
It's not that it's a bad game, far from it. It's actually fun, once you get the concept of belting a frog along varying levels of weird landscape to get in a hole.
But today, it'd be too much of a gamble. When was the last time you played a normal golf game, let alone something so weird and crazily pitched as this?
That, and I wouldn't put it past Bandai Namco to make you pay for extra golfers or different frog variants nowadays.
At a push, this'd be a mini-game in a Nintendo compilation/party game.
