| '''[[Clapping Party]]''' is the only video game that Homestar Runner is allowed to play with his friends when they come over for slumber parties. In this game, players simulate hand-clapping by clicking the text "PRESS HERE TO CLAP". After a player claps three times, a screen will appear that says "ROUND CLEAR!!". On the second round, clapping three times unlocks "[[#Blistergeist|Blistergeist]] mode", in which a ghost in a hockey mask attacks the hands with a chainsaw, giving them blisters.

|'''[[Typing Tutor Turbo]]''' is a [[stand-up arcade game]] that apparently helps you learn to type, despite the fact that it has no keyboard. [[The King of Town]] owns this game, and [[Strong Bad]] used it to crush him. It is almost exactly like the game [[QWERTY]], except it has a ship that you use to shoot words to accumulate "WPMs" ("that's words per minute, you know"). There is a PC version of the game called "[[Floppy Disk Container#typing tutor jr|Typing Tutor Jr.]]" that Strong Bad put up for sale with a price tag of $23 in his  [[garage sale]].

Strong Bad, bored at Homestar Runner's slumber party, discovers Homestar's dad's stash of M-rated video games. These games all feature humorously over-the-top depictions of violence or blood and gore, though as Homestar is not allowed to play them no gameplay is seen.

Image Description
Blistergeist Blistergeist parodies Splatterhouse with the masked figure on the cover. Similar to Splatterhouse, the figure makes reference to famous horror characters such as Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, and Ghostface. They wield a chainsaw.

The ghostly figure makes a cameo appearance in the unlockable "Blistergeist mode" in the otherwise kid-friendly Clapping Party.

In a 2024 interview, the Brothers Chaps mentioned Blistergeist 3D as a game they'd like to make eventually.

Blood Bleeder Blood Bleeder is a parody of Blood. The cover features a bloodstain with skull imagery.
Head Chopper 2 Head Chopper 2 features cover art of three disembodied heads — two men and one dalmatian — flung into the air.
Scab Wars Scab Wars appears to be a shoot 'em up game in the vein of Space Invaders, while the title recalls Star Wars. The grid seen in the background suggests it may be a vector-graphics title.
Throat Rip and Saliva Quest Throat Rip and Saliva Quest only seen in cartridge form, box art or label faces are not shown.
