By that I mean: remove ports of classic arcades, platforms and their action / run'n gun derivations, shoot'em ups of every type, RPGs of action, classic, strategy and tactical fashion and of eastern and western sensibility. Remove arcade sports, racing, and sports simulations. In other words, try to remove everything that a console is considered excellent at.
Imagine you have a NES but can only play... I dunno, Marusa no Onna or Sweet Home. Then try to be further removed even from that... What's the most counter-intuitive use you can come up with for your consoles?
A Super NES with only Koei simulations perhaps? (Sim City would be still too ludic).
A Genesis with Richard Scarry's Busytown or Carmen Sandiego?
Playing Populous on monochrome Gameboy?
What's the most ludicrous port of a dense computer software that was evidently in dire need of a mouse, but was packaged and put on shelves next to Mario or Sonic, regardless of any respect for customers? And that, in a perverse way, you are actually glad it was ported?
Be creative, I'm sure whatever you'll come up with will make the examples above seem like frantic, non-stop arcade action in comparison.
p.s. I'm not looking for kusoge, not necessarily. What I'm interested in is the most oddball, awkward use of a console system
Though the GC's handle is an obvious aid in generating swing power, with its feathery weight and cuboid profile, I feel like even given the element of surprise it'd merely disorient 'em (while flipping its drive lid open in the process, exposing its fragile lens).
New thread: which console would you select for Charles Bronsoning a burglar? I'll tell you what I wouldn't use, fucking NTSCU NES. Damn thing's full of air. UNLIKE its superb library! But those won't help when one shot is the difference between a mildly dazed and now likely enraged burglar, or a spasming, frothing mummy baby who'll only ever trouble the guy on bedpan duty from now on!
