Okay, so Zettai Zetsumei Dangerous Jiisan 3 is one of those weird, hyper-Japanese GBA games that never left Japan—which is a shame, because it’s got this bizarre charm. You play as this old dude (jiisan means grandpa, basically) who’s constantly in ridiculous life-or-death situations, like dodging falling anvils or outrunning stampeding cows. The pixel art is super expressive, and the whole thing feels like a slapstick anime crammed into a GBA cart.

At first, I thought it was just another wacky minigame collection, but there’s actually a loose story tying it all together—something about grandpa trying to reclaim his lost youth (or maybe just survive another day). The controls are simple, but some of the timing is brutal. Mess up a jump, and you’ll watch jiisan go flying in the most dramatic way possible. It’s the kind of game where failure is almost as fun as succeeding.

If you’re into obscure Japanese oddities, this one’s a hidden gem. Just don’t expect it to go easy on you.
