Five Best Games We've Never Had

Here is a collection of the best games I've seen from TV shows and movies that we should have, yet don't.



5. Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence

A Ren and Stimpy classic, thought I think children would have more fun playing with Log.





4. Unknown from Children of Men



Not exactly sure what the point of this game, but I guess in a future where everyone is depressed as hell, just about anything can entertain you. Even a 5x5x5 cube.



3. Blernsball



Anyone who's seen Futurama knows as much about Blernsball as may be humanly possible.



2. Nukem

Nukem, get them before they get you. A game that teaches you mutually assured destruction in a consequence free environment. I think if more people played this game, we would've been in trouble.





1. Pro Thunderball



Appearing in the final season of the final episode of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, Pro Thunderball is described by the Wikipedia page as:


Rules of Thunderball:
1. Bring the walls in closer to allow for more home runs. Make home runs worth two points.

2. Have a five foot drop off between the infield and outfield. In other words, the outfield is five feet lower than the infield.

3. Instead of one ball, there are three balls, in constant motion.

4. Nine multi-shaped targets with varying point values are placed throughout the infield. A baserunner can attempt to throw his bat at these targets as he rounds the bases.

5. Defenders are allowed to tackle the runners as they round the bases; however, the runner is allowed to keep his bat. [Thunderball players are equipped with full pads and a helmet.]

6. The batter may choose to take six strikes instead of three, but this allows the pitcher one free throw at the batter. A hit by such a throw does not count as a free walk.

7. Honeys and Hounds. Cheerleaders and dogs are allowed to roam the field freely and affect play as they wish. During the seventh inning, however, players are allowed to tackle the Honeys as they please, for bonus strikes.

8. Team mascots will alternate innings driving a Honda Accord anywhere on the field except for the pitcher's mound, the batters box, and the dugout. Players can use this car as part of their offensive or defensive strategies.

9. The Gun Circle - a loaded hand gun is placed within a clearly marked circle to be placed ten yards behind second base. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS THE GUN TO BE TOUCHED AT ANY POINT DURING THE GAME.

10. Each team's pitcher is allowed to throw three ceramic baseballs a game when he so chooses.




Any games that you've seen in TV or the movies that you liked, make sure to share them in a post.
