re: Hit and Run itself, I didn't know there was some online hype around it. It's fine. It's a functional GTA clone with The Simpsons on it. Maybe it just looks better in retrospect since we've moved so far past the era of GTA clones as cash-in properties? If a Simpsons game came out today like that it'd probably be a dumbass tower-climbing, collect-a-thon Ubisoft clone if it was going to have an open world. Maybe they'd put the Arkham-style combat in it but Homer does Wario butt slams?

I'm old enough that my childhood games were incomprehensible c64 stuff that cost £1 and was coded by someone a couple of years older than me with names like Hero Of The Golden Talisman and Finders Keepers. Licensed games meant, 90% of the time, a side scrolling platform game made by Ocean

Remembering now that I had the Battle for Bikini Bottom game for GBA. Did not really care for it. There were a lot of bad platformers on the GBA. I didn't really have a ton of licensed games I think? Like, there was a Teen Titans beat em up game on the Gamecube that was fine, Mickey's Racing Adventure was a great Gameboy Color game that I wish had kept going even if I hated the Pluto maze sections. Wait, I just remembered that I had Shrek 2, Shrek Superslam, the first Incredibles game and One Piece grand Adventure.Nuns with Guns posted:re: Hit and Run itself, I didn't know there was some online hype around it.

I feel like people haven't burned out on that type of gameplay, as mad as Detective Mode made people because they turned it on at the beginning of the game and always kept it activated. Plus, to be fair, Rocksteady doesn't even make those types of games anymore so I think it'd be welcomed. RareAcumen fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Apr 13, 2024 |

I think the worst lovely game I ever got was some GBA port (update?) of the Eye of the Beholder game that had been adjusted to 3e D&D rules. I'd keep restarting it, clearing out the first floor of the dungeon, and then I couldn't for the life of me figure out where I was supposed to go next. I tried poking every wall to see if there was a secret door or something. I assumed after a while the game was bugged and gave up.

It's just a top to bottom bastard game to play, with nothing tuned for the rules it's running on. You're basically doing RNG rocket tag until you can get a party a level or two up and if you've not got someone with skills to find paths... Eat poo poo, I guess?

I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of what my beloved mediocre licensed game was growing up and was starting to think I just never had one. It just hit me. Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure. It was a THPS knockoff, and as far as I can remember it ruled, and I have zero interest in verifying that.

best licensed game: star wars pod racing worst licensed game: why did my parents keep buying me "toy story" licensed games. were they mad at me. i played hit and run and i remember really enjoying it for the simpsons jokes more than the game itself. idk why but one of the first lines where homer excuses himself to "shuck some...corn" stuck with me lol

Going for an extended period of time without new stimulus is a fate worse than death to a child.

Catgirl Al Capone posted:my friend had that Not Donald Duck game. the one where he's playing like some tourist that can turn into a ninja Oh, you mean Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow? How could you ever forget this incredibly intuitive and not at all ridiculous name?  As far as licensed games actually worth playing from my childhood I remember there being a bunch of them on the Sega I'd rent that were actually pretty decent - Disney's Aladdin on the Genesis was great, even if it had a bit of an anti-climactic ending, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and its sequel World of illusion were pretty great, as was the Ghostbusters tie-in game. The various Tiny Toon, Jurassic Park, X-Men and Looney Tunes games also tended to be decent to pretty good and I think we can all acknowledge Cool Spot was way better than a game-length ad for 7-Up had any right to be. As for awful licensed games: I owned Spider-Man & X-Men in Arcade's Revenge and could only ever beat 3-4 levels and I had the Mighty Max game for the Genesis for some reason. I also repeatedly rented Superman 64 because I thought my inability to get past the first level was because I was bad at the game...
