Namcap
I’ve seen some weird games in my time but namcap is pretty weird in my book. It’s a lot like the old pacman where you control a yellow smiley face eating dots which are protected by four ghosts. You can only eat the ghosts if you eat a power pill which will make the ghosts turn gray. The funny thing is that everything seems to be reversed! The letters, ghosts even the controls work the other way around. It’s extremely confusing because your hand-eye coordination is completely shot and you’ll have a hard time traversing through the maze.
I guess the challenge lies in to unlearn what you know and play the game in a completely different way than you normally would. Some people would take the easy way and turn around the controls but this is absolutely no fun. I’m not sure what they were thinking when they made this game but I guess in the old days this kind of thing wasn’t uncommon as there were all manner of games made that weren’t for the masses. If only for this matter I would recommend you checking it out but I guess the game does have a charm of it’s own.
