What about "Zombie Nation"? A giant, floating samurai head shooting helicopters, etc.  😕

Reminds me of this movie:

Yes - that is Sean Connery and that massive head does fly.   A truly bizarre movie - I can't say as I recommend it at all but it will certainly stick in your memory despite being (mostly) a really boring and unfathomable movie.

Somebody apparently did want to make a game from it though:

In a forlorn attempt to salvage this thread if we restrict ourselves to consoles I would put up Boogerman as a contender.

The premise of interactive porn with crappy primitive sprites, is just plain stupid. I mean, firstly it’s a crime to rape someone, no matter the race or gender that is tied to the cactus. Then the fact that it’s only sold to adults, and that adults would prefer this than actually watch VHS erotica or finding a real female?

The 8-bit Zardoz reminds me of the Sealab 2021 "Bizarro" episode the way they just keep repeating it over and over mixed with the flashing lights...

Boogerman is certainly a contender...

As forlorn attempts go, this seems like a good enough time to remind everyone that this happened:

I've always figured it had to have something to do with a bunch of suits in a Capcom boardroom trying to get their tentacles deeper into the PAL market via Nintendo in a Sega dominated region using a famous Nintendo character coupled with something that people in those regions are known to go for ie. Soccer aka football, but then only released it in North America for some reason.  Either that or they were trying to make soccer more palatable to Americans, who knows?  But why not Mega Man Motorcycle Racing instead?  I'd go for that one..

Mannn, Zardoz is so good. I’ve got my Zardoz poster right next to Citizen Kane and There Will Be Blood.

Zardoz is a movie that doesn't need an introduction.  You come for the Sean Connery, and leave utterly confused.

From the few bizarre scenes I do recall, I'd argue that Zardoz would've made more sense as a video game.

I saw it in a really rundown $1 theater* with the not yet Mrs. Tabonga back in 1980 or so.   The best thing about the movie IMHO was how the title was derived.

*The theatre was an incredibly rundown art deco theater which has since been refurbished. When I say dollar movie I mean you paid a dollar to watch five or six generally really bad movies in a row (if you had the fortitude) rather than just one.  I have recounted before one wildly amusing evening where one of the horse hair seats kept catching on fire and they finally wound up unbolting the section of six seats, dumped it in the alley and left a hose running on it.
