Crazy game of the week: Incredible Crisis

I read back an old issue of RetroGamer and got interested in the Top 25 psx games. Next to the usual (FFVII and such) was a few gems that I did not know about. I picked them up (eBay gets you anything).
One of the most bizarre is Incredible Crisis (I paid $20), Tondemo Crisis! (とんでもクライシス!^?, lit. "Huge Crisis!") in Japan. The game was btought to the US and Europe by Titus (sooo famous for Crazy cars and Crazy Cars 2 :) ). 

it is a collection of mini games happening to a japanese family, starting with granma's birthday, and the dad doing some Parappa moves.  I got stuck early (second game), but I will get back to it soon. 

Incredible Crisis PSX

Well, that escalated quickly

I knew I would not have a chance, but it is fun to see the numbers.

My old boss fixing a Computer Space machine.

... Most people would say the modern arcade game business started with the creation of Atari and the release of Pong in 1972, but as with most things, most people are wrong. The first commercial arcade game was actually released a year earlier, in 1971, by a company most people today couldn't name. That company was called Nutting Associates and its chief engineer at the time of the release was a crazy character named Nolan Bushnell.
