On my way through getting some old Playstation platformers to get, I came along Skullmonkeys, possibly the most mind-melting game ever.
It looks like your regular platformer. It's your basic Run and Jump affair, but it's also very challenging. Fantastic game, pushing a lot of my platform skills to the limits. Lots of satisfaction when finishing a level.
But the design and music is just absolutely crazy, crazy stuff. Some SkullMonkeys jump towards you, but when they jump, they jump OUT OF THEIR SKIN, and then back into it again next jump. And look at this second boss:
JOE HEAD JOE. WHAT THE HELL?
Joe Head Joe is a guys head with Skullmonkey head, arms and legs attached. Joe Head Joe shoots fireballs from his mouth, and his eyes will pop out on occasion [and be replaces].
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
Any the MUSIC! Just as crazy. When you go into a bonus room, this tune plays:

:lol :lol :lol
http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/thumbs.aloft/wos/skull.htm is a place with a few other mp3s too.
Anyone else a fan? Neverhood, the first game, was a point and click sort of thing, wasn't it? Was the game as crazy as this? Whatever happened to these guys?
