Stupidest game ideas that really exist

[J T]

I saw this and couldn't believe someone ever bothered to make the game: Bungee Jump Simulator

The only thing fun about Bungee jumping is the rush of the fall, which a video game cannot simulate. So what is left? Certainly not fun.


Are there any other unbelievable "I can't believe this is an actual product" games out there?

Just because the video always makes me laugh and this thread is likely to fill up with games that have "Simulator" in the title, here's some people having fun at Farming Simulator 2011's expense:

There's a Fear Factor game for GBA...

"Are you afraid to eat this?"

"I would be. If I weren't a sprite."

Aren't those "Simulator Series" games meant to be absurd in the first place? I mean, Wood Cutter Simulator had to be made just to see if anyone would buy it.

What the hell did I just watch?

...And them are fighting words bringing Shenmue into this. Unless you are making fun of the forklift simulator, but you know even that is fun.

Besides garbage truck, forklift etc simulators, I've got to say that many golden age arcade games are based on ideas that seem really stupid by modern standards, like paperboy and burger time.

I'm not kidding, I really find Shenmue to be an unbearable chore and a boring concept. Its ONLY redeeming quality is the arcade in the game.

IMHO, of course.

Who'd'av thunk that a taxi driving simulator would be entertaining?
