Extreme Shopper

Released in 2000, Extreme Shopper is one of those games that sounds like a joke—until you realize it fully commits to the premise. You play as a shopper navigating a chaotic supermarket, racing against time, obstacles, and other customers to complete your list. The result is a surprisingly tense and often hilarious experience. The controls are simple, but the challenge escalates quickly as aisles become battlegrounds and shopping carts turn into weapons of mass inconvenience. There’s a satirical edge to the whole thing, poking fun at consumer culture and everyday stress. Visually, it’s modest, but expressive enough to sell the absurdity. Extreme Shopper thrives on its originality and sense of humor, proving that even the most mundane activities can become thrilling under the right design lens.
