Let's take a look at a few of these weird games, as well as what may take the cake for being the weirdest--Taito's 90s beat 'em up, PuLiRuLa.

All "background music," is audio recorded from the game itself, in addition to the games Suikoden (Konami, PS1) and Final Fantasy III (Squaresoft), and not from any external source, such as a CD or MP3.
