What's the Trippest Video Game(s) You've Played?

For all you video game players out there, I wanted to know which video games you've played were the trippest games that you've played. It could be when you were on mushrooms or acid, or completely sober. Also, breify explain why its was so trippy and it doesn't have to be a recent game, it could a classic game. And it doesn't matter what platform you played it on; Consoles, PC, MAC, Internet and Arcade games all count.
Here's My List:
1) Halo 2 Most notably the "Backwash" level which came as an the extra map pack "Maptacular". Platform: Microsoft XBOX
Why Its So Trippy: Set in a misty swamp-jungle at night, the eerie glow of the lights and the glowing ooze on all the trees is strangely trippy. Also, the little floating robot that circles the level, humming in his technological-advanced robot voice totally tripped me out the first time I played it. In fact, the first time I played the level, I actually had a pretty powerful mushroom-flashback and felt like I was tripping on mushrooms even thou I didn't take any in awhile. I was playing with 4 of my buddies and they actually "pushed me" more into the tripping state-of-mind. Pretty trippy level.
2) Halo 3 Most notably the "Guardian" and "Snowbound" levels. Platform: Microsoft XBOX 360
Why Its Trippy: First of all, these places aren't even on Earth, but on a huge floating ring (The "Halo") that hosts life and an atmosphere that supports it. Secondly, the colors are so vividly "alive", especially in "Snowbound" where the colors of the sky and the big purple base-objects illuminate like a psychedelic trip. And in "Guardian", the level setting is high above the ground in these huge, million-year trees. Also, its a sacred religious place for an alien race equipped with ghostly holographic images of sacred alien beings floating on top of ancient stone tripped me out upon first sight. This level really reminds me of one the boss levels in Nintendo Gamecube's Metroid Prime with all the stone pillars and the constant rain coming down. Thats another pretty trippy game, especially with the crazy energy weapons.
3) Mario Party 6 Most notably the Intro Screen. Platform: Gamecube
Why Its Trippy: One of my most intense wild Pan Cyans trips I've had, I loaded this game in my Gamecube. It was also the first time I was using my special Component cables I special order direct from the Nintendo website. Back then, component video cables were like the "HD" of the day. So I fired up the game and holy Shroom-God, the colors of the intro screen were so intensely vivid (mostly because of the component cables and my Pan Cyans ingestion) that it sent me and my friend into a trance state. I was just staring at the screen, mesmerized by the colors and textures. My friend J said he was floating around the "level" of the intro screen, seeing bright colors all around him. Pretty trippy. The next week, we tried the same thing with regular "yellow" video cable on weed, it wasn't even close!
4) Super Smash Bros Most notably a strange in-game glitch Platform: Nintendo 64
Why Its Trippy: This actually isn't about the main game itself, but about a strange "glitch" that happen to my friends when they played it. One time, my 2 friends J and C were totally stoned and playing Super Smash Bros. This was when they were young, about 15 or 16, and being stoned was more like a psychedelic trip than a stoned, happy, giddy state that weed does to them now. Anyway, they were in the middle of a fighting game when all of a sudden, the game "glitched-out" and they started playing a real old-skool game completely different from the Super Smash Bros game. They said it was real ancient lookin', like Pong or Space Invaders old. Its hard to believe, since they were really stoned at the time, but I believe it (sort of).
They had this saying they came up for all the weird things that happened when they were high on weed: "Only when your Stoned..."
So, whats your experience in playing trippy video games?

Bit. Trip Beat is a good rolling game. Its only for the Wii. Off the Wii Ware channel. It combines electronic music, with absurdly colorful 8bit graphic, pong type game:D

The two trippiest games ever played by me (and sadly overlooked by you in favor of more mainstream fare) are:
Katamari Damacy - I once played this while waiting for some mushrooms kick in. After an hour and a half of NOTHING coming on, I just decided "fuck it, I'll get some snacks and play this all night." Stood up to go to the fridge and realized I had, in fact, been tripping for the past thirty minutes and was so absorbed by the game it all just blended in. Hard to explain, but I haven't gotten any feeling like that from another game.
Psychonauts - Hands down the funniest games I've played are Tim Schafer games. Go find some, they're cheap and they'll run on just about any PC: Monkey Island series, Full Throttle (I'm only fairly sure this is his game), Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, man the list just keeps on coming. Psychonauts doesn't disappoint, every level is a representation of a different mental disorder. I've never played it tripping, but I did get stoned and wander around inside the Milkman for like two hours once just because it was awesome.
So go play those, WAY more fun than Halo IMO, and fifty times as trippy.
Rez I haven't played the full version of, but the demo on 360 has definetely got me hyped to.

Oo, Eternal Darkness for the gamecube was pretty trippy in a scary way. It wasn't really about visuals, but it definitely fucked with your mind

Geometry Wars and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island are the two trippiest games ever in my mind.
God damn I love both of those games so much.

Nah, n2o is way beyond geometry wars. It was intentionally made to be played on drugs, crystal method even did the entire soundtrack for it.
I wish I could find a better video for it.
