Hot Take: Sonic 1 was a bad game. Sure it was colorful and fast but the gameplay stinks. Same goes for Alex Kidd.

What I remember about Sonic was that it scrolled in all directions so fast. I think I played it on a Genesis, don’t know what platforms it was released on.

The controls were needlessly clunky. The speed is never a benefit or fun gameplay wise. Going fast and then getting stopped or hurt by stuff you can't see isn't fun. Water levels were loving terrible. Jumping physics and acceleration sucked without a way to spin dash. Later Sonics incrementally fixed the bullshit gameplay of the first one and they are quite playable

Everything else? Varying levels of crap. The sound music, graphics, all top notch, but my god does the gameplay take a loving nosedive after Green Hill Zone. And you can't tell me anyone had much fun in Labyrinth Zone.

Sure, Sonic 2 blows it out of the loving water in pretty much every way but to call the first one bad is just wrong. Did/do you always get lost in Marble Zone or something?

Going fast on Star Light Zone is  . The reward for learning level layouts is being able to go fast through them.

Water levels were loving terrible. Jumping physics and acceleration sucked without a way to spin dash. Most of the fast bits are usually deliberately easy but you have to trust the level. IMHO it’s a pretty good gimmick because kids go from getting killed in green hill zone to being able to beat the level in under a minute while barely even paying attention which makes you feel like you’ve gotten good and since you can’t save it’s good that experienced players can blow through the level instead of having to trudge through it. Still though there are some places where you can end up bouncing around and it’s basically random if you die which is pure poo poo. They should at least make the game so once you’re good you know you should try and bounce to the left or the upper right third of the screen when certain things are going on and you’ll end up in a safe zone or even better if you go the right way you’re assured not to go into the flight path of an enemy. But it comes from an era where noob traps were considered clever gotchas and random deaths were something the player was supposed to account for.

I was at a used DVD/CD/Video game store with a friend and we came across this: It was for sale for $1, and we bought it based on the cover alone (comic was not included unfortunately). Yes, you play as a magic dwarf riding a unicorn, the controls are very confusing and it has a very extensive tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk7w1UhYwuA A lot of flashing colors, and there are only a few voice samples so you frequently get to hear how the dwarf's butt is sore. Still waiting on chapter two...

Alright let's get back to the real poo poo, the pure turds if you will. The Fifth Element for PS1 (1998) https://youtu.be/biRQmC86Tbw An absolutely horrible 3rd person shooter. Remember all the original action sequences and exciting set design from the movie? You'll find none of that here. Korben has hair for some reason and controls like a tank. The game feels like an unfinished cash grab. I was so disappointed I wasted my weekly rental (for all assignments turned in) on this poo poo show.

When I was a little kid I was mainly a Mac gamer, and I just played whatever shareware my dad or my friends' dad brought home from work on a floppy. My friends were briefly obsessed with this fighting game called Grizzly. You play as prerendered 3D animals, so it was kind of like Killer Instinct if Killer Instinct had been Mac shareware. The UI is really something. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHndmBShtFg&t=4s

The Moon Monster posted:The UI is really something. Check it out: Early UI's were often something to behold. Even more so when it was shareware/demo so it may or may not have a manual txt file, which may or may not work, and even if they did they may or may not be helpful. Random things in UI you had no idea what they did seemed to be the norm not the exception. Why does it say my B is 43, what is my B, why is the number randomly changing even when I'm doing nothing, and why is it the largest number in the UI by far????

People's complaints about Sonic 1 are almost invariably about the lack of "speed" (which never was really a thing in the genesis games) and the "difficulty". I always took that to mean people were salty that they couldn't just spam the spin dash which was a strategy that would take you pretty deep into most of the later genesis games but taught you nothing about any of the other mechanics.

I'm not saying that the Sonic games should be glorified screensavers of super fast motion or something, sure, have platforming. But a few loop-de-loops thrown in on a regular basis helps a poo poo load.

It may have been a remake of an older game, but that doesn't mean the original game wasn't better than its contemporaries.

It's pretty thin on the story but packed with atmosphere, and a very good difficulty curve. I hardly ever see it mentioned, but it was a very good shooter among a lot of ps1 titles that sometimes felt unfinished or lazy.

Im trying and failing to remember some ps1 game made by possibly Square? It was a cop game with tank controls and your character had anime hair and flipped upside down to shoot his pistol like in a john woo movie. It was very bad.
