Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom is one of those weird, charming NES games that sticks with you. Yeah, it's got the whole "rescue the princess" thing going on, but trust me—it gets way weirder. You play as Sir Cucumber (because of course), and your mission is to save Princess Tomato from Minister Pumpkin's clutches. The dialogue is surprisingly sharp for an 8-bit game, and you pick up this little persimmon buddy named Percy early on who’s basically your sarcastic guide through the whole mess.

What really makes it stand out is how much personality they squeezed into those tiny sprites. One minute you're talking to a sentient eggplant, the next you're solving puzzles that actually make you think. It’s like someone took a Saturday morning cartoon and turned it into a point-and-click adventure, but with vegetables. And somehow, it works.

If you’re into retro games with a side of absurd humor, this one’s a hidden gem.
