Strangest Retro Videogame Plots Pondered

Posted by simoniker on Monday March 29, 2004 @01:01AM from the maria-looking-miffed dept.

Thanks to TotalGames.net for its article discussing the oddest retro videogame plots of all-time. Among the highlighted titles are Sega's Genesis title, Greendog ("All you hafta do is find the six pieces of the Surfboard of the Ancients. They were hidden long ago by the Aztecs somewhere in the Caribbean"), along with Konami's N64 version of Mystical Ninja ("A giant UFO shaped like a peach has suddenly appeared in peaceful Oedo Town! The evil musical corps, The Peach Mountain Shoguns, have come to steal the Great Stage Plan.") What classic game made the least sense to you?

Actually, that quote is from Marcus Brigstocke, a British comedian. Any other attributions are apocryphal.

It was a joke about ravers, it wasn't incidental prescience on the part of Nintendo in 1989.
