I remember a game on the C64 where you played a robot. I looked simlar to Number 5 (Johnny 5 from short circuit).

You had to cook. :blink:
I mean, cooking isn't that weird but being a robot having to cook certain recipes in the correct order and manner otherwise the customers become angry and throw their bar stool after you and if you're hit three times the game is over cause the robot's broken.... :blink: That was a weird game...

I tried being good at it for a while but I became frustrated.
Being eight or nine years old my english wasn't too good and I couldn't understand all the ingredients.

The game is called The Big Deal and it is very weird. Robot in kitchen...

When talking about old days (C64) i was both scared and confused with Rocky Horror Show. You wander around big mansion while people are chasing you speaking something strange and undressing you completely. Later i found out that there is a movie which explains acting of those people.

Lazy Jones that you mentioned before is also fun game, but it is strange that you have lives but it doesn't really matter because you can't beat the game. You just get to visit each room and see what's in it. Perhaps it is another game, perhaps you'll watch Jones dream, but there's nothing to beat really, it's just for fun.

I also recall He-Man and Masters of Universe also for C64

You had to save Orco from Skeleton but game itslef is too strange. You start playing the first life in the castle, but if you got killed every other life you start from the swamp. Also, you're in the castle which is side-scrolling and if you push joystick down, He-Man will start going down and will fall of the screen and die. :blink: Am i supposed to figure this out???? There are also some objects in the game, but i never figuered out how to use them. When you reach the Orco all items are simply returned to their positions in the game. It is interesting althoguh too hard and frustrating because there are some parts where you had to discover some things that are not so obvious.

But surely the weirdest game i saw is Franky Goes To Hollywood

You want a weird game, then you 100% surely won't regret downloading C64 emulator and starting this game. It looks fine and interesting, especially for C64 until you got a hand into it. Man, that's wierd!!! Those mini-games and those pictures and pleasure pills that look like.... well, try it. There is logical part of the game where you have to solve the murder by putting all the hints together, but the main goal is to become human again as you play with a ghost and solving a murder and playing mini-games is the way to do it. You think that's not too weird?? Wait until you start some of the games. Lazy Jones is a completely usual game compared to this.
Franky Goes To Hollywood is the name of that pop band from the 80's. Well, i think they put some of their music into game, but whoever made this game must be on some really horrible chemical drugs.
