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 were a few weird games I played years ago that I still have on my hard drive:

Armadillo Run - a physics puzzle game https://www.armadillorun.com/

Art Sqool - a weird art project turned “game” interesting, but honestly not very fun. https://glander.itch.io/art-sqool

Windosill - an enjoyable short interact experience https://windosill.com/

Llammatron - a clone of Robotron, an OG twin stick shooter https://playclassic.games/games/arcade-dos-games-online/play-llamatron-2112-online/

Cool Cros Twins - a DOS platform puzzler https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-cool-croc-twins-1dd

Brainstorm Pro - a unique old school puzzler https://www.dosgames.com/game/brainstorm-pro/

Hexxagon - a puzzle battle game https://hexxagon.com/

Laser Light - a logic light puzzler https://www.dosgames.com/game/laser-light/

Llamatron is by Jeff Minter, who's been making games for over 40 years and most of them would go in the weird category. His best known game is probably Tempest 2000, but he's made lots of arcade-style games including one that's inspired by the Polybius urban legend and had a NIN music video.

He actually just released a new game a while ago based on the fairly obscure I, Robot arcade game (nothing to do with the Asimov book).
