Tondemo kuraishisu! (1999) Online

You know those weird movies, shows or games that no-one has ever heard of but you, this is one of those games for me.

December '99, my sister and I were looking at a £1 PS1 magazine and there was a game reviewed on it and it was this one. My other sister was in Belfast and she bought this game for us.

It is really all mini games such as button tapping and puzzle solving.

The plot is told through the day of a family, the mother is a witness to a robbery, the son has been shrunken by an alien laser, the daughter skips school and has to protect an alien from gangsters and the father goes through a lot.

All the stories have connections to each other and I love it when movies, shows and games do that.

The mini games reach from easy to hard, and some are REALLY hard, trust me.

There's a level where you play the daughter who has to escape the classroom without the teacher knowing and throwing a chalk at you, a level where you have to run away from a big iron ball Indy Jones style, one where you control an air fighter gunning down a giant teddy bear and one where you have to dodge enemy bullets whilst skiing down a hill.

Some mini-games require two people using the one control, especially in the last level, boy is it tough.

If you love puzzle games like Mario Party, you might like this. Look up footage on YouTube.
