Video games are supposed to be fun
you're supposed to be able to relax with them, get competitive with them or anything in between
But what if I told you there were some video games you shouldn't play, you should never turn on. What is up
guys
Chaos here. Welcome to chaos top ten and today we're gonna be digging into 10
cursed video games you heard me right cursed video games
you should never play and let me know in the comments if you guys have ever played any of these and if you have
Well, I feel for you. At number 10, we have Taboo: The Sixth Sense
This is a game all the way back on the NES platform that was developed by Rareware and published by Trade West back in
1989 the game was a very simple tarot card reading simulator where you could just enter some information about yourself
Answer a couple questions and read your results
However, things got a little weird when the game actually predicted the death of a handful of players
Now this led to tons of backlash and accusations of the game being cursed and Trade West actually pulled it from the shelves
shortly afterwards strangely Trade West dissolved shortly afterwards in 1994, which just makes the story even
Stranger, imagine a video game coming out in predicting the deaths of real-life people in them actually happening
coincidence? maybe? cursed video game? maybe?
At number 9
We have Pokemon red and green the original
version many of you've probably played pokemon red and green but chances are you haven't played the OG version which
Has a pretty strange history to it
now pokemon red and green came out in
1996 in japan two years before the international release and in the original japanese release of this game
There was a musical track that would play when you entered lavender town
however
according to the legends this musical track was linked to various children either falling ill with headaches or nausea or even
Having really really bad thoughts. It definitely sounds ridiculous, but
Apparently it was enough for Nintendo to recall the game change the music for international release and then release it the following year

At number 8, We have a game called kill switch
This is a pretty famous story in the gaming world and kill switch was a game released in
1989 by a Soviet company called car Vina corporation although official records of this company
Well, they don't exist anymore. Now according to the stories kill switch was kind of an action horror puzzle game
hybrid that had you playing either as a girl or a
demon, as you go through a coal mine fighting monsters and trying to find your way out but
Apparently the game was unbeatable because after finishing it it would erase itself from your hard drive
Which obviously meant that after a while the game became almost
impossible to find since all the copies were literally disappearing into thin air then in
2005 an unopened copy appeared on eBay and it was bought by a Japanese man named
Yamoto Ryu Qi who claimed he was going to debunk all the mysteries by playing through the whole thing and uploading it to YouTube
But but when yamamoto finally uploaded his video to his YouTube channel
it was just one long video of him staring at the camera and
Crying this, to this day is one of the weirdest strangest creepiest video game stories out there at number 7
We have morrowind jvk 1 1 6 6 z
DSP dot now plenty of you have probably played morrowind, and it's a great game
But how many of you know about the jvk mod?
Nobody knows when this creepy mod for the bethesda RPG first appeared but it has been reported to have driven some players
Absolutely insane. Upon starting the game with the mod installed
you'll find that every other character in the game is
Dead and you are the only one alive plus if you stand still your health will start to drain so you have to keep moving
constantly
however
If you stand still and let yourself die a new character will reveal himself a man with deform limbs that bent
Unnaturally like a spiders but the weirdness of the mod didn't stop there
apparently all the characters who died from installing the mod would come back to life at nighttime, but they would just stand in place and
at the sky plus as if all that wasn't strange enough this mod added a new dungeon of the game called the Hall of
Portraits which you guessed it was a long hallway with tons of framed pictures on the walls
But the pictures were all images pulled from the players hard-drive and at the end of the hallway
There was a door that was impossible to open which allegedly drove some players insane
From the mystery. At number 6 we have a game called lair
Does anybody remember this ps3 launch tunnel that was supposed to be epic but ended up just being kind of a turd
well
There's a lot more about this game than you may be aware of for those who don't remember
Lair was a fantasy action game for the ps3 developed by a company called Factor 5 and published by Sony in 2007
It was widely criticized for its repetitive gameplay and its broken controls
But things get a little weird when you dive into the exact details of its
origin, according to various reports from people on the development team
There was a massive power outage while the game's master files were being transferred between discs causing some of it to be lost then
there were a good number of people on the team who either developed health issues or
lost family members to healthy issues during the game's development and finally
Less than two years after the game came out the entire company closed up shop
It's almost like the game was trying to tell them something a daring development. At number 5
We have a game called Hall of Tortured souls. This is an old-school one
Okay back in the Windows 95 days someone somehow discovered
There was a hidden game in Microsoft Excel that could be unlocked with an extremely complex series of button entries
Upon entering all the keys required in Excel a new window would open up called the Hall of Tortured Souls
Which was a 3D adventure game where you wandered around various hallways and rooms with some strange imagery inside of them now
No one at Microsoft has ever really explained why this is here
but it has led to tons of odd theories about different things going on in the Microsoft offices that aren't so good
At number 4 we have a game called Sad Satan you guys may have noticed
I'm kind of fascinated by the dark web and this next game was first discovered by YouTube channel called Obscure Whore Corner in 2015
Apparently the link was sent to them by a viewer and they had to download it using a tor
the game itself is a walking simulator that has you going down a narrow hallway while some disturbing audio tracks play and
You'll occasionally be shown images of murders and crazy situations
eventually the player will begin to take damage from an NPC child following them and you'll die at which point the screen will fade to
Black and gives you a message that reads suffering doesn't end and today
It's almost impossible to play this game yourself due to the links all being taken down
But you can find footage of it on YouTube. Just don't watch it while you're alone in the dark
At number 3 the Nintendo Virtual Boy
you may be thinking this was a console not a game Jimmy and you would be right but
It's still deserving of a spot on the list due to the strange happenings behind the scenes after its release for those that don't remember
The Virtual Boy was supposed to be the first VR console ever
But it was extremely poorly made and ended up being the biggest flop in Nintendo's history selling less than 800,000 units
but
Believe it or not
the main
mastermind behind the Virtual Boy was gunpei Yokoi the creator of the Game Boy and The Game and Watch as well as the producer of
the Metroid series now the Virtual Boy launched internationally in 96
It was apparently such a massive disappointment to Yoko that he fell into a deep depression
And the gaming legend died the following year in a car crash
At number 2. We have a game called berserk. This arcade shooter was released in
1980 and it was pretty popular with the teenagers but its popularity quickly died out after it allegedly caused the death of two
Passionate players the gameplay berserk is pretty simple, too top-down shooter with a sort of maze like structure to the levels
You just run around and see how long you can survive and in 1981
It unfortunately came the first video game ever associated with the death of a player. Jeff
Daley was a very avid player of the game
But according to reports died of a heart attack after setting the high score of sixteen thousand six hundred and sixty points
which many attribute to some kind of demonic activity since
666, the mark of the beast, is in the score things got weirder the following year when another player an 18 year old named Peter
Borkowski made the top 10 high score list twice in 15 minutes
But died of a heart attack just seconds after finishing the second game needless to say
it's not exactly the kind of attention you want surrounding your game as a publisher and
Finally at number one today. We have Polybius
This is perhaps the most famous of all the cursed video games and according to the stories Polybius was an arcade machine that first popped up
in 1981
It also reportedly was a very rare game with only handful of machines ever manufactured in the ones that were released
Were mainly located around Portland Oregon the story state that people who played this game would often experience seizures
afterwards and sometimes even experience night terrors or
Hallucinations. This was supposedly caused by a very violent strobe effect of the game and yet people were apparently addicted to it
But under a year after its release it vanished and all the machines were destroyed according to various arcade owners
There was a small group of men dressed all in black who would come in from time to time
Collect the data from the Polybius machines and leave without a word. Before one day, they came and took the machine
Away for good the most common theory surrounding it was it was an experiment by the government as a way to test
Psychoactive technology now today the game has just become an urban legend with many people claiming
It was never even real due the lack of evidence
but there are some people who claim to have seen it back in the day or even to have worked on it and there are
actually records of an arcade in Portland of two people collapsing with migraine headaches on the same exact day in
1981 I guess we'll never know the actual truth and there you go my friends
Those are 10 cursed video games for whatever reason
