I’m Sorry: 7 Bizarre Video Games Courtesy Of Japan

Oh, man, Japan. Yes, Japan remains a source of bewildered amusement for peering western eyes. Sure, a lot of what we think about Japan is probably a load of old hyperbole, but it's not just the neon lights, dinner-serving robots, and school girls that throw about the peace sign like it's the actual law that makes Japan seem so at odds with western civilisation... it's the strange and otherworldly practices that the country seems to embrace as if they're, like, normal.

2) LSD (1998) (Playstation)

Recommended Videos

At least they got the name right: LSD was a 1998 game developed for the Playstation, in which (for some reason) the decade-long dream journal of a staff member at Asmik Ace Entertainment was turned into something you could buy on an actual disc and play at home. The game doesn’t allow you to do anything else but wander a huge, terrifying world inhabited by the very creatures of your nightmares.

It’s psychedelic as hell, what with its endless corridors filled with empty bird cages, floating elephant pits, and impromptu sumo wrestler fights. After about 10 minutes, your dream “ends” and you can start again. Every time you play, things will be entirely different – just like your brain, which gets a tiny bit brokers.
