50 Weirdest moments in gaming history

Recommended Posts

An entry for C&C.....

 

30) Command and Cretaceous

 

While the original Command and Conquer suffered from really bad expansion packs, the first offered a particular entertaining secret. Adding the -funpark parameter when running the game opened up a top secret set of five missions that pitted the standard armies of GDI and Nod against. dinosaurs. For no reason. There was even a briefing movie and bonus music track. And developers Westwood didn’t even mention it.

this is all I got up to (blame my short attention span) but I thought it was great:

7) The First Hot Coffee

 

Completing a mission in Maxis’ SimCopter was meant to end with fireworks and a big brass band, and most of the time, did. However, programmer Jacques Servin - insert your own ‘big chopper’ joke here - had his own plans, adding a bit of code that would occasionally replace the final level’s such ceremony with men in swimming trunks kissing each other. Maxis fired Servin instantly, but it was too late - 80,000 copies had been sent out, and unauthorised Easter Eggs became a thing of the past.

2) The Colour of Blood

Carmageddon tore up the moral majority back in 1997 - as you’d expect from a game that focused as much on splattering pedestrians as winning its races. In England, The Powers That Be insisted the squishy humans be replaced with green-blooded zombies, whose pressure groups still haven’t gotten out of the ground. But in the notoriously blood-shy Germany, things went one step further: the developers were forced to replace them with floating metal garbage pails. Took some of the fun out of the carnage, if you ask us.

10) Virtual Epidemic

In the beginning, there were computer viruses. Now, there’s the potential for a plague - as happened in World of Warcraft, when the appearance of a new monster, Hakkar, with an infectious attack known as Corrupted Blood began giving the MMORPG lurgy to anyone who took him on. As players returned to town, infecting other players and NPCs alike, entire cities across the many Warcraft servers fell sick, with anyone under Level 50 facing immediate death if exposed

 

anypne know if this is still happening?

 

26) Boobies Know All

...at least in 1998’s Jurassic Park FPS spin-off Trespasser, which put you firmly in the head of its female lead, with no HUD, no icons, and no numbers to keep track of. Instead, you had to regularly glance down at your heaving, fully rendered breasts, where a big red heart tattoo quite literally told you when you were about to go tits up.

 

i lol'd at this one lets have more games like that>.>

 

38) The Typing Of The Dead!

Hands down, the most brilliant reinvention of a game ever to exist. Take The House of the Dead II, complete with zombies, awful plot, and endless monster splattering… but take away the guns. Instead, give the heroic government agents Dreamcast backpacks and keyboards, with every correct bang of a key acting as a bullet. It shouldn’t work, but it does. It more than does. It’s the kind of thing the word ‘awesome’ was invented for. And there’s a sequel on the way!

 

did this really happen?

Carmageddon rocks! :evilgrin:

 

nice sound of a mixture between splatting organs and crushed spines! :twisted:

 

Wish they would make a new carmageddon. probably wouldn't be legal in several countries.

Sadly, the series is dead, but I found this comic that might be of interest.
