There are certain characters and stories that are so ingrained in our popular consciousness that it’s difficult to imagine not knowing anything about them. For much of the planet, the sights and sounds of the Star Wars franchise are immediately recognisable. Just about everyone could look at a silhouette of Batman, say, or Bart Simpson, and tell you who that character is.

Imagine for a second, though, that you’ve just met a visitor from the distant past, or an explorer from another planet. They’ve never heard of Superman; they’ve never read the comics, or seen the movies, or heard John Williams’ triumphant score. They’re blissfully unaware of what Kryptonite is, why a godlike superhero would...

G.I. Joe. Swat Kats. Samurai Pizza Cats. Eto Rangers. Biker Mice from Mars. Street Sharks. Danger Mouse. The cartoons of the 80s and 90s were full of kick-butt action, and rife with martial arts and laser guns. Most of today’s cartoons, well, aren’t. One Kickstarter has arrived to change that – Happi vs Drag. Happi vs Drag features the cybernetically-enhanced animal Agents of Happi working together to kick the butts of the Dragons of Drag before they can take over the planet of New Illinois. Happi, led by the optimist Kylie, depends on teamwork, positive qualities, and overcoming problems, in order to defeat the wicked Admiral Juna Rei Sin and her menagerie of greedy and/or bumbling Soldiers. In the six-minute short that this Kickstarter will...

Caaaaat, that pizza’s not for you! Or maybe it totally is and the resulting photo is like pizza to us: I didn’t realize the cat world also had roommates who are like “You guys can order a pizza but I already ate, count me out” then the pizza shows up and he’s like “Actually I’m gonna grab a slice – I can give you like, two cat bucks if it’s really a big deal, meow” and you’re like “Uh, no, I guess, whatever just take one.” Or maybe he’s one of the real-life Samurai Pizza Cats: (Abandoned ships, via Michelle Is Jaded)...

In its heyday there were over 760 titles released in the Us and Pal regions for the Nintendo Entertainment System, also referred to as the Nes. Many of these games are absolute classics that to this day remain nostalgic keystones in people’s childhoods. Who can forget the first time they hopped on a Goomba in Super Mario Bros., gunned their way through the jungle in Contra or blasted Mother Brain in Metroid? These games, while some not so heavy on story, were crafted in such a way that it didn’t matter that we only had two buttons and a d-pad. We had strongly defined characters in engrossing new worlds with clear elements of mystery and adventure to overcome.
This is a list of some of those games, games where the premise is so strange and the mechanics so unnatural that they’ve either become instant blockbusters or cult classics.
