12 Ridiculous Video Game Ideas That Should Never Have Worked
Some video games just shouldn't exist. And yet they do and are awesome...
Some video games just shouldn't exist. There, I said it. We can look at some video games and just think, "How did anyone give this one the green light?", not because the game is by any means bad, but simply because it's so outlandish and ludicrous that it's hard to believe any publisher would take a gamble on releasing it. By all rights, these 12 projects should have been horrible flops, and yet through some miracle, they managed to connect with gamers and were runaway successes. Either due to their bizarre, niche premise, the seemingly aimless nature of the gameplay or the cost-prohibitive peripherals needed to actually play the game, these titles should have all failed, but instead they are a celebration of originality, even if in many cases these games ended up being run into the ground by franchise fever. Speaking of which, let's get on with the list. As there are so many surprisingly successful video game oddities out there, please add your own suggestions in the comments!
