15 Weirdest Button Commands in Gaming

May 12, 2020 by Kevin Thielenhaus

Check out 15 weirdly specific uses for buttons in video games. These are our favorites.

#10: High-Five [Double Dragon: Neon]

To show off Billy and Jimmy’s companionship, the heroes of Double Dragon: Neon can slap hands in an impressive display of brotherly love. Double Dragon: Neon is an extremely arch game, filled with completely ludicrous details that seemingly parody the past — so it’s no surprise this nostalgic romp lets you high-five with ironic aplomb.


#11: Drop Pants [IK+]

The oldest game on this list also has the most ridiculous button press of all time. Straight from the C64, International Karate+ is much weirder than it seems. You play as a Karate guy fighting other identical karate guys. Everything appears normal, until you find the button that forces everyone to drop their pants. This is a real game.


#12: Flip The Bird [Far Cry: Blood Dragon]

The hero of Far Cry: Blood Dragon, played by ’80s action guy Michael Biehn, has a secret power stashed in his robo-hands. With the press of a button, you can flip the bird — while reloading, he flashes his middle finger. He gives them the finger. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do any extra damage.


Check out even more incredibly weird actions mapped to specific buttons in gaming on the next page.
