I saw this dog version of Double Dragon in Bluey and had to post it somewhere.

There are other lists of fake games elsewhere online but I know this forum can do better.

I‘m surprised nobody’s brought up this Twitter account dedicated to creating fake games.

I swear somebody did a book of this. Like concept art for games that don't exist.

Dunkr · September 7, 2022, 10:09pm

@“Mnemogenic”#p84107 Game Toilet? (I have this book somewhere).

Extremely minor (a couple fake game gags) plot spoilers of Rick & Morty S06E03 Bethsic Instinct (read if you don‘t intend on watching the show or already have):

>!the “Realistic Space Travel” game for Morty’s new Pooplickian GamePod console in this weeks episode of Rick & Morty (S06E03 Bethsic Instinct) is basically the same concept as Desert Bus. Also interesting that the FFVII parody was entirely based on FFVIIR, that's a first, after so many FFVII parodies on TV. Not much to say about the dating sim/ visual novel game, except that it took place on what is clearly the Santa Monica Pier. !<

This thread reminded me of this YouTube.

It follows 3 guys that go to an arcade to play a new fighting game called Computer Fighters 2000. It's got a lot of dumb jokes and a lot of great ones. In the background of a lot of shots are real arcade games, but they also made a few of them up.
Here are a few pictures from the video including some of the made up games.

I find the video pretty enjoyable. The acting by these guys always felt like a parody of a 90s educational video.
