Fake games you wish were real

I consider this the true first reply of this thread.
 
Pretty sure you can play a crude version of Larry the Looter in Virtual Springfield if you go into the kwik-e-mart.

Yeah, but the game would last all of 5 seconds (as in the original episode) since you had no weapons and couldn't do anything about the guy with the shotgun.
 
I don't know anything about the anime but there's already a psp game and a vita game is coming.
Well my post was about the game within the show where people are trapped within a VR MMORPG where if they die in the game their VR helmet will fry their brains (seriously).

I was imagining the scenario from the other side of the coin, so rather than playing the game I'm reading daily news on GAF about those trapped in the game.

Bit morbid I know.
 
Does it count if it was fake, but became real, but not real how the fake imagined it? :P

Righteous Slaughter 7: The Art of Contemporary Killing.
Call me insane, but this actually looks like complete crazy fun (yes, I know it is supposed to be a parody of modern FPS's, but it still looks like so much fun).

Also, basically half of vgboxart.com
 
The simpsons has had a lot of great looking game parodies. With smaller developers being a thing now the early 90s style games could probably be done in a collection of short games.

The blade runner crysis or unreal level as a game would be awesome.
 

This art looks like it was done by the smt artist. I'm not really that familiar with lovecraft mythology besides knowing that these elder gods drive people crazy. But who are the human like characters? I think the guy at the top looks like an antagonist in one of the smt games.
 
Came to post Megaman Legends 3 and Chrono Resurrection, but that's been done... so instead:

Day of the Tentacle HD Remake, wherefore art thou? :(
 
Umm.. Fix-It Felix Jr. is an actual game that you can find and play at conventions. I had the high score on one of them at a convention for an entire day.

Personally, I was kind of sad that they never released it as "fake Virtual Console" during the time the movie was in theaters.

Bingo. You can play it in quite a few different places in Disney World.
 
"Journey To The Center Of Hawkthorne"

Weren't there some people, who tried to make it real?

I've never looked into it, but it would be amazing if someone did manage to take all of those gameplay elements and make them into a game. Even if they did cut some of the more obscure ones out, because some of that would be pretty hard to make work.
