More video games seriously need to be more like this.
A long time ago, Takeshi Kitano made a video game, and it's more of an "anti-game". The box says "Forget what you know about common sense." The only way to beat the game is to do VERY specific things, like setting the controller down for 60 minutes straight, divorcing your wife (even though you lose 75% of your money for doing it!), quitting your job, and beating up yakuza. It sold 800,000 copies in Japan and is remembered as one of the best (and worst, at the same time) games ever. Read about it:

The game is infamously known for giving the player several ludicrous, near-impossible tasks to complete. Some examples include forcing the player to sing karaoke numerous times in a row (utilizing the second Famicom controller, that has a built-in microphone) and leaving the game at a certain point for one hour without touching the controller, as well as forcing the player to try jumping a precipice one pixel too short several dozen times, and hitting the final boss 20,000 times to defeat it.
The ending:
"Would you really take a game such as this so seriously?"
Gameplay, I guess:
