Weird Dreams (Amiga, Atari ST, C64, PC) :
Properly freaky stuff! This game came with a rather large back story told in a 64 page novella which came with it ...to cut it short, you fancy this girl who turns out to be possessed by a demon who is a bit fed up and trapped in her body, only you don't know that and the aforementioned demonic chappy decides to faff about with your mind for some giggles. You start having crazy dreams after it gives you some pills to help "cure" you , and eventually end up in hospital where you start having another, and possibly your last, weird dream!
You have to try to work through various puzzles and defeat the various nasties which are living in your head thanks to that old demonic numpty inhabiting you lady friend...but this is a very tricky game, or at least I found it to be...
It is filled with freaky graphics and bizarre gameplay, and definitely deserves a go or two, but I just kept getting killed and watched a video of someone else playing it on Youtube instead...so here's the video, which obviously contains spoilers, so if you do fancy giving the game a bash without knowing anything, don't watch it!
Another way in which you might have come across this game back in the day, was if you ever watched British Saturday Morning TV, as a modified version of the game was used on ITV's MotorMouth program as part of their quiz game for kids...as can be seen in the video below!
But yeah, the final verdict is that it's just too damn tricky with not a lot to see, and you're better off watching someone else play it instead!
