Bizarre! was the fourth gamma-released JSW128 game by the DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!. It was released in November 2005, with a bug-fixed revision following in January 2006.

After the most ridiculous party Willy has ever been to, he realises he is feeling a little worse for wear, so he makes way for his mansion. He is really drunk and stoned, and decides to take a shortcut along the train tracks. The player has to help Willy stagger home to bed before the drugs warp his mind forever, stealing road cones, council lights and bottles of milk off people's doorsteps along the way.

The game uses Hacklevel 9 of the JSW128 game engine.
