Weirdest SNES game

evilbutterfly · 04-20-2007, 08:53 AM

So I see all these "lol favorite SNES game" threads and such and I see the same responses of ya know, every 1st party SNES game. Well I was playing EVO (a weird ****ing game for SNES) and I figured I should make a thread asking you guys what you think is the weirdest SNES game, because I'd like to play the weirdest of them to see if anything is weirder than EVO.

Btw, if you haven't played EVO, it's friggin hilarious and cool. It's basically like Spore, but just really old and filled with the most hilariously dumb story ever. This naked-but-covered-by-her-hair lady named Gaia talks to you and I swear every bit of text in the game makes me laugh a little bit because of how ridiculous it all is.

EVO was a really fantastic game, though. Terrific to play through.

Lemme think... Captain Novalin! In it, you were a diabetic super hero that had to avoid large donuts with crazy eyes and hamburgers and stuff and pick up carrots, and then in between levels, you had to answer questions about diabetes and do a syringe mini-game where you measure out your insuline. It was weird as crap.

Super 3-D Noah's Ark.

You play as Noah in a blatant rip-off of Wolfenstein 3-D.

Your weapon is a slingshot of fruit that puts the animals to sleep.

You mostly fight against sheep and goats. For some reason they want to kill Noah.

And the cartridge? You have to put a REAL SNES game on top of the Noah's Ark cartridge just to make it work.

Yeah. Nintendo had a chip in their games that made them play on the SNES because they were tired of people making unauthorized games... Like the rest of the NES bible games.

I'm guessing you saw that "Angry Nintendo Nerd" special.

Bible Buffet. Rofl.

Other than that? Maybe Home Improvement.

I actually owned Super Noahs Ark or whatever it was called.

evilbutterfly · 04-20-2007, 01:42 PM

I played it before I saw that Angry Nerd thing about it. Only on an emulator, though. Pretty hilarious.

I'll have to check out this diabeetus game, though. I love the REALLY BAD attempts at edutainment. XD

Captain Novalin!? WTF... if it was about diabetes, shouldn't his name have been Captain Insulin?

EVO was fun, it was like an RPG and stuff.. you eat smaller animals to gain lvls and you evolve with time. pretty fun

Captain Novolin is the only one who can stop the alien Blubberman and rescue the mayor. He rides a speedboat and needs to avoid the alien invaders who have turned themselves into junk food while eating healthy meals to keep his blood glucose within a safe zone. Players earn bonus points by correctly answering multiple choice questions about diabetes (the correct answers of which are given at the beginning of levels).

It is widely regarded as one of the oddest and worst video games ever made.[1] Novolin doesn't have any apparent means of attack (he can stomp enemies by pressing down when he jumps, but this isn't immediately obvious), and the player will find difficulty in avoiding many the enemies. In some cases, it is impossible to avoid enemies without taking damage.

That was the definition of Novolin.

It kind of adds up... A little.

The game still is weird as hell.
