I’m looking for strange/interesting/obscure PC games. Could be anything from Windows, DOS, Mac OS (old school), PC-98, Amiga, or whatever else I’m missing there. Let’s hear ‘em!

    There was a company called Parroty Interactive for a few years in the 90s that specialized in making terrible parodies like Pyst and Star Warped. Looking at the list of personnel, they actually had some notable names: Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn and even John Goodman. Too bad they don’t really count as games and are also incredibly unfunny.

      I have always been such a huge fan of the Myst series & worlds, I remembered reading about Pyst ages ago and was always curious about trying it despite everyone saying it was bad, the premise is interesting, right? Eventually got around to downloading a copy and setting it up in an emulator. The game is just so bad and not even in a funny way. It is not funny at all. Waste of time. I was so excited about it.

      My favourite part is that more people worked on Pyst than Myst.
