Some NSFW language...

heh


Let’s face it: most any game made before 1993 was ridiculous. Try and synopsize the gameplay of the most famous games of all time, and you end up sounding like a muttering homeless guy at a train station.


A yellow circle devours pills and fruit in order to kill ghosts.
A mad bomber deposits his deadly payload near combustible bricks, hoping to uncover roller skates, hands, boots, and flames.
Two dinosaurs blow bubbles around cave monsters.
A lone earth ship must stop a fleet of alien invaders using only horizontal movement, a single pellet gun, and the ability to hide behind disintegrating pyramids. Luckily, the aliens are retarded and descend towards Earth a single step at a time.
A sentient marble tries to navigate a treacherous course.
A jouster mounted on a flying ostrich competes with a rival above a lava-filled pit for golden eggs.
A family travels to Oregon.
