PO’ed (1995, Sony PlayStation)
In the ’90s, the gaming industry fell in love with guns. The old food-themed games looked like quaint antiques in the face of gory 3-D space shooters like Doom. In a stroke of genius, PO’ed combined contemporary alien-blasting with a concept that could compete with even the strangest drug-fueled ’80s arcade game: As a chef aboard a star cruiser, your mission was supposed to be to feed a crowd of rough-neck space explorers, but an alien attack killed everyone else on board. Now, using an endless supply of throw-able chef’s knives and a trusty iron skillet, it’s up to the cook to rid the spaceship of invaders. Later levels allowed the chef to travel by jetpack, an innovation that kitchen-gadget manufacturers have yet to make reality.
