Remember These? The Hilariously Fun Games from ’95 You Totally Forgot About

Ah, the mid-’90s! A time of grunge music, dial-up internet, and video games that were a delightful mix of quirky and inventive. 1995 was a golden year for hilarious games that not only entertained but left us in stitches. In this list, we’ll check out some of the funniest games from that year, each bringing its unique flavor of humor. Ready for a nostalgia-filled laugh trip?

1. Earthworm Jim 2

firstly, let’s talk about the absolutely zany “Earthworm Jim 2”. This game was the epitome of wacky humor. From its goofy protagonist, a worm in a super suit, to the bizarre villains like Psy-Crow and Queen Slug-for-a-Butt, every element of the game was designed to make you chuckle. The gameplay was as diverse as the jokes, with levels ranging from bungee jumping with snot to bouncing puppies on a marshmallow. You just had to expect the unexpected.

2. Twisted Metal

In addition to offbeat platformers, 1995 also gave us “Twisted Metal”, a game that combined vehicular combat with dark comedy. Each character’s vehicle was a death machine of sorts, armed with an arsenal of weapons. The real humor, though, lay in the characters’ backstories and the way they interacted. Needles Kane, the psychotic ice cream truck driver, was both terrifying and hilariously absurd. It was like a demolition derby with a twist of dark humor.

3. Full Throttle

also, “Full Throttle” deserves a special mention. It’s a point-and-click adventure game by LucasArts that oozed style and wit. The protagonist, Ben, was a tough biker with a penchant for sarcasm and dry humor. His interactions with other characters were peppered with clever one-liners and sight gags. The game’s absurd situations, like using your bike to launch a chain reaction that ends up with a mechanical bunny overload, were hilarious highlights.

4. Worms

Similarly, “Worms” turned out to be a surprise hit with its turn-based chaos. You controlled a team of tiny worms, armed to the teeth with bizarre weapons like exploding sheep and holy hand grenades. The best part was the hilarious voice lines and the slapstick comedy of watching worms accidentally blow themselves up. This game truly mastered the art of funny destruction.

5. Discworld

Finally, we can’t forget “Discworld”. Based on Terry Pratchett’s beloved book series, this point-and-click adventure game was packed with the author’s trademark dry wit. You played as Rincewind, a hapless wizard trying to save his world. The dialogues were sharp, the situations absurd, and the puzzles often required comedic logic. From conversing with a lecturing luggage to dealing with a talking death, every moment was comedy gold.

So, there you have it! These are the gems that brought laughter into our gaming lives back in 1995. Each game had its unique way of tickling our funny bones, proving that sometimes, laughter truly is the best part of the game. If you’ve never played these classics, now might be the time to dive back into the past for some feel-good fun.
