#5 - Postal
No story, just grab the gun and kill! Despite not being the sickest game ever, Postal is the most famous one. When it was released by Running With Scissors in 1997, it caused ongoing discussion about violence in video games and kicked down Carmaggedon from its throne of brutal games. Yes, characters pretend to be attacking you, but come on, this is not going to fool anyone. Even the name suggests why there is something wrong with this game: 'Going postal' means going frenzy, after series of independent killings by US postmen in 80'.Postal was successful enough not just to have a sequel, Postal 2, but also the new Ed Wood, Mr. Uwe Bohl, bought rights for the serie and turned it into a movie (which was finally better than anything he did before). The main hero, called simply 'dude', will return in the third part of the serie. Soon.

#4 - Harvester
Do you like old school adventures like Indiana Jones or Gabriel Knight? Welcome in the world of Harvester! Well, not exactly. This game became notorious for it's violence.This point-and-click adventure was released in 1996 and had hardly any counterpart (except the #1 in our list) in depicting gore details, offensive and disturbing scenes. Unlike the mentioned games, Harvester was (quite poorly) live-acted, so the blood had the real taste (and look). Commercially, this project turned out as a disaster; it was banned in several countries and mentioned in NBC as an example demonstrating the need of official video game rating.
However, this game became a cult for some fans. The story of Steve Mason, who awakes with a case of amnesia in a strange town in 1953 called Harvest, is nothing but trivial, full of strange characters (Col. Buster Monroe, whose lower torso was shot off in Germany by Nazi forces during the war. He crawled all the way "from Germany to England", dragging his lower intestines behind him, and stopping every three miles to reel them in.) and leading to a surprising climax.

#3 - Super Columbine Massacre RPG!
Yes, you read it correctly. The 1999 Columbine High School shootings near Littleton, Colorado, were gunmen Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 13 people and injured another 21, was turned into a game. It was created by film director Danny Ledonne and released in April 2005.Super Columbine Massacre RPG! is simply looking isometric RPG, where you control the murderers and interact (=mostly kill) people on the screen. They are characterized by various stereotypes (janitor, literature teacher). Time from time, flashbacks from killers' life occur, trying to suggest their motivation.
Naturally, the rections was mostly extremely negative, especially from the relatives of victims. Danny Ledonne's intention was to depict the emotional side of killers, trying to understand and describe the reasons behind their act. You can check if he made it clear or not - the game is free

#2 - JFK: Reloaded
The motorcade is approaching. You see your target, your hands are shaking. Shoot. Shoot! Great - you hit your target. Now once again, you can have better score!This is what JFK: Reloaded is about: just shoot JFK in head. If you want a lot of points, try to do it exactly the same way Lee Harvey Oswald did it.. While the Super Columbine Massacre RPG! at least try to pose as an artistic piece, JFK: Reloaded is jus totally stupid. Oh yes, creators from Traffic Games said "The primary aim of the game was "to establish the most likely facts of what happened on 1963-11-22 by running the world's first mass-participation forensic construction", the theory being that a player could help prove that Lee Harvey Oswald had the "means and the opportunity to commit the crime", and thus help support or disprove the Warren Commission's findings." but hell, do you believe these Scottish guys that their simple game with simple physics can prove anything??
Spokesman for Ed Kennedy said '"...despicable. Why would someone make this game? This should have never been allowed on the market." and I can just agree. However, some lucky man from France won $10,712 for the most accurate shot in president's head in official competition.

#1 - Phantasmagoria
One of the first game made during the boom of interactive movies (which proved to be a dead-end) and probably one of the strangest horror games ever. You play Adrienne Delaney (starred by Victoria Morsell) who bought an old house to focus on her writing there. And as you can get, this house is haunted. Totally. Our dear Adrienne unleashes a demon who posses her husband Dan. And the fun can begin.This game requires shuffling 7 CD-ROM during gameplay, which are full of interactive movie scenes. Roberta Williams, famous game designer from Sierra used all fake blood she was able to find in the studio. It wos worth it. This brutal game was Sierra's bestseller of 1995.

Bonus: Custer's Revenge
The grand-grand father of all weird games, Custer's Revenge is a is a simple video game made for the Atari 2600 by Mystique, a company that produced a number of adult video game titles for the system. Player controls General Custer, who has to reach beautiful (at least according to the cover image, you can't tell from the pixels) Native American girl tied up to a pole in a storm of falling arrows.This game was created in 1982, so you will hardly see more then few pixels, but still, it was a daring try. You can download it, but it won't be easy to run it...
