Kekcroc

This is the first "game" (and I use that loosely for reasons I will describe later) that I've covered on Gaming Oddities, and boy, is it a special one. Chances are,  you haven't heard of Kekcroc, and I was in the very same boat until today. But what exactly is the fabled Kekcroc , you might ask. Is it a Ninja Turtles reject, a toddler's attempt at character design, or something completely different  (hint: its the last one!)?

This "thing" (I cant think of a way to describe it) was released for the Sega Genesis in 1993. As I'm sure you can tell by its "unique" art style, this was in no way an official Sega game (shocking, I know.)!
Despite being sold throughout dollar stores in the 90's, we have no game play, and only a bit of information...

The information in question, is, unsurprisingly, that the game has horrible controls, was released on other systems like MSdos, and some random info about the game itself. Apparently you were able to collect "Crocodollars" (cant wait to trade those in at my local bank!), your first weapon was a toilet plunger, and the 5ft level was called Toasty's Castle.  We also have a voice clip of the titular Kekcroc saying "hi, I'm Kekcroc.", but it sounds too good for a Genesis. That, and some other evidence against it, make me question it being a game...

Most of our information comes from 4Chan, a message board known for "less then stellar" accuracy. Also, the fact that Kek is in the name, and Kek being a term for laugh, makes me think its all a hoax. Does Kekcroc's face look like the face of legitimacy? Nope! I'm not even sure if he's copyrighted!

So this would normally be when I'd give my opinion, but considering how this doesn't even exist, I cant do anything about it. At least we can all have a Kek about it (Ha ha! I'm so hilarious!)!
