Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs Death was a rare first person shooter on the gamecube that also had a full splitscreen coop campaign.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is not only incredibly mediocre, it also nearly bankrupt the state of Rhode Island because Kurt Schilling was seen as a god at the time, and they gave him a 69 million dollar loan.

I played the hell out of this game. There's not much to it but they got the core action-RPG gameplay right, and that makes it enough fun to play that I had a good time with it.

MC Kids was one of my favorite NES games, although that one might be straddling the line of "not very good". The explore an easy platforming area while looking for secrets style gameplay really clicked with me, and I remember the music being pretty good too.

I think MC Kids counts as a legitimately Good Game tbh. I rented it as a kid and then played it again as an adult and it holds up

Anyway I have a lot of nostalgia for the 8/16 bit Simpsons games even though they’re pretty objectively bad. We rented them a lot as a kid and I liked how every game had a bunch of different playstyles even if they didn’t do any of them that well

I played a lot of Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues on SNES back in the day. The game is just ok, and either it was very hard at times or I just sucked at it being a dumb kid. I should revisit it and see how it holds up. What lured me in was that dinosaurs were cool and you had a wide selection of guns. Last but not least the soundtrack was phenomenal and really made an otherwise not that good game really stand out.

Similarly Journey to Silius is just a very ok game at best, but the soundtrack kicks rear end.

I think Shenmue falls into this even though imo it's just regularly really good and people who don't respect missing the bus and having to wait ten minutes can gently caress off. The popular perception outside IZ is not good

Final Fantasy XII is really good and I played it for like 150 hours but in many more real ways it's kind of bad

I famously played APB for nearly 20 hours a day for the three months the company that made it wasn't bankrupt and then another month after it was rereleased, and was considering selling my plasma to preorder it so I could play three days early when it released as well.

To be fair APB was really good, or at least could have been if it wasnt run by a bunch of dipshits who then sold it to guys just collecting the cash shop money and calling it a day.

this reminds me of Intellivision's Armor Battle, a game where both players (it was only two player, no single player mode) controlled a very slow moving tank that could shoot bullets, lay mines and move. the mines were really awkward becaus their hit box was large enough that if you didn't move a specific way, you'd blow up your own tank before you could even get away from it. when you blew up the other guys tank (or, often, your own), he'd get a new one and you'd both start from your starting positions. each player got 50 tanks, which i don't think was tracked anywhere on the screen. because the tanks moved so slowly, it would take like 3 hours to play a full game, so almost everyone just did it until they got bored. except...

my dad's friend got really into Armor Battle for some reason. just wanted to play it with us the entire time any time he came over. he thought the mines were particularly funny and would holler and hoot whenever someone got exploded by a mine, especially if it was their own (he got himself often). until one day he showed up when my dad wasn't even home and when all of us, both of my brothers and i, had the chicken pox. finally my mother had to make the armor battle cartridge disappear for awhile.

For some reason I have a thing for agents of STEAM. It’s a grid based strategy game where every design decision is just weird. We need movement? Let’s make it grid based, but not lock units to the grid. We need characters? Hey, all these literary figures are public domain. We need levels? Okay, let’s make them very vertical, even though only one unit can jump. We need difficulty? Let’s put in unkillable units that call down an orbital strike if they see you. We need a theme? Steampunk is popular, let’s use that. But don’t forget it’s gotta get an E rating. Throw in a giant robot Lincoln, that’s always popular.

Then again, I owned Mr. Mosquito and Cubivore long before they were collectible. I just like weird games.

tbh i'm kinda amazed the servers are still up almost 20 years after launch, stunning longevity

also like once a year i'll spend an afternoon throwing myself at Keith Courage in Alpha Zones. it's pretty sloppy (the way you turn around is very strange compared to other platformers, like it turns you around at your nose instead of at the center of your body) with a lot of instant-death traps and shops that demand grinding for health refils or weapon upgrades, but there's some wonderfully weird monster designs (especially in the mecha bits) and each level likes to throw new ideas at you for a surprisingly brief amount of time (oh, here's the upside down bit. here's the toxic pipes...) it tries to avoid getting boring, and i like that.

I've played a lot of this game called Delve Deeper where up to four players compete to get the most treasure in a dwarven mine. It doesn't even have online play and hasn't been updated for almost a decade now but I still fire it up from time to time and play a few hours. There's something really compelling about it, and it's a lot of fun to play with friends hotseat. It's not deep at all and honestly after you've played a few maps you've kind of played them all. But damnit there's something so satisfying about timing a treasure run at the end of the game and dumping dozens of points worth of treasure at the last second.

Mass effect 3. I played it and beat it before they fixed the endings and got deep into the multiplayer to the point I almost failed a calc final in University. Every day during exam season This cool black American pubbie I befriended would log on at the same time and invite me too a party chat where he was smoking weed and shooting the poo poo with his friends like a Lean and Cuisine stream. I would sit there listening in to their conversations, playing mass effect & silently chuckling my white rear end off in my sisters freezing cold garage on the other side of the world until one day, without a word, he never logged on again. I basically stopped playing Xbox after that.
