Lol, the Barbarian game reminded me of this gem: It ruled, and someone actually has a YouTube of it being played https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HKzBzJ4NOw And, lol, does that music bring back memories

But at least the guy says stuff like this: I got that dumb game on Switch because people were hyping on about it and it looked cute but no one bothered to mention that it plays in loving real time so when they say "come back tomorrow" to do this thing, they don't mean go sleep in the bed to progress time and come back They mean come back an actual day later... get hosed

Hyrax Attack! posted:I enjoyed watching this video about that game: Great watch. I feel like playing it would not be so entertaining. I did like how it seems like you play an utter rear end in a top hat that no one likes, and who screws over anyone immediately who does him a favor. They had to make the bad guys in the game really awful cos if not 100% you'd be the bad guy. Oh you also poison and almost kill a homeless guy just so you can still some change off them to make a phone call, because even though you are employed as a cop, you're so poo poo with your money you don't have enough money to make a call and all your co-workers hate you to much to loan you even pocket change For bad games I'm going to say Tetris clones that came on cheap 500-1 handheld game console cheap! things in the 90's. where there would be like 100 versions of 5 different games. But yeah to be "different" the tetris clones would come with different shaped blocks which I'm sure a total of like one second was put into the new shapes. Yeah, you can see why that could become an issue.

   Most people should know the NES version of Dragon's Lair, but for some reason they made a different but equally unplayable & pointless version for the C64. I had this and I couldn't get past the first platform and it annoyed the crap outta me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXWsyXRMCQI

Suddenly remembered another lovely PC game I had, Zorro: It looked and sounded badass, but it was a frustrating as gently caress Prince of Persia ripoff. I could never get past the first stage, which was this dungeon:  This is basically the Zorro experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrxDzh_nFWQ Wilkins Micawber posted:Nah I'm doing ok. My partner is in, with some kind of mystery abscess. About to transfer to a third hospital, one with an IR unit. Ive spent almost 24 straight hrs sitting on floors and chairs but at least I have a blanket now. We might lose the house lol. And I have my 3ds, with better games. Balls-out! Yikes! Godspeed to both of you.

Bogus Adventure posted:Suddenly remembered another lovely PC game I had, Zorro: Had The Mask of Zorro game for Gameboy Color, it also sucked rear end!  Another poo poo game I had for the Gameboy was Ultima Ruins of Virtue. This game was the only thing I ever stole when I was a kid and all I have to say is what a waste of several anxiety attacks.  And the worst Gameboy title I played was probably the Powerpuff Girls games, just any one of them, they were all the same.

 Mega Man for DOS. Lemme just give you the highlights: - Butt ugly graphics - Game speed tied to CPU cycles so it doesn't work on anything faster than a 286 - Jump is bound to J and shoot is bound to Space with no way to reassign your keys - Most enemies are way too fast and/or short for the buster to be effective against them - Ear grating PC speaker noises - Officially licensed by Capcom

  Commando Libya (there never was a Blizzard! Part II afaik) also was a very bad one I had. It was one of these terrible one-guy developer indie games that were never sold, just one of these mysterious things you'd find on swap diskettes and about as edgelord as it could get in 1986. It was basically like a very stripped down and awful static screen version of Operation Wolf where you turn libyans into pink mist with your turret gun, if they reach the other side of the screen or a barrel bomb hits you it's game over. The "bonus stage" in between levels was an execution of a bunch of POWs and the high score name entry was yet another execution game, this time with a guillotine, jfc.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1AEtPR9ZU8

I used to own the 31-in-1 Famicom multicart, which came with an adapter to play it on the NES. It was pretty much the first game we owned because, hey, what a value, right? Also, literally nothing ever happens here in NB, so it's weird to have my province listed on a site like this. Anyway.... Well, a bunch of the games kinda sucked but not all of them. The good: - Super Mario Bros - Mario Bros - Donkey Kong - Battle City - Pac Man - Pinball - Lunar Ball - Galaga - Mappy - Balloon Fight - Excitebike The middle: - Tennis - Ice Climber (Japanese version, I'm still not used to seeing the NA sprites) - Popeye - Road Fighter - Sky Destroyer - Galaxian - Circus - Yie Ar Kung Fu - Karateka (though learning how to play this was bullshit) - Star Force - Urban Champion, I guess (I still loving hate it, but it was well made for what it was) The bad/ugly - Arabian - Macross - Zinja - Urban - Exerion - Formation Z - Wrestle (this is M.U.S.C.L.E.,and it sucks) - Zippy Race - Baseball - Five Chess (might be better if I knew how to play it) Anyway, the multicart is overall great, but  some of those games. Yeesh. Like, I wonder, do certain Japanese developers just make a nice tech demo and don't finish it? Some of these titles seem to go on forever, or repeat, and that's it. I don't think there's an 'ending' to Zinja, Exerion, Formation Z, or Arabian. They're just "here's a 5 minute experience that will continue until you shut it off".I'm glad that type of game isn't really released commercially anymore.

Taz-Mania on the Game Gear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OyyxFOVaYA sluggish garbage platformer that is mostly on rails / autoscroller + trial and error, until later in the game where you get a tiny amount of freedom absolutely torturous music that is ingrained in my brain for years now that you have to hear to believe

Chuck Rock. Easily one of the worst platformers I've ever played. You're a trundling caveman dude in a game full of flying and projectile-hurling enemies, your main interaction is a gut-bump attack with a range of about 2 pixels, and the levels are the most basic walking-around-rectangles junk you can get. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcjjAYAl1kU But somehow this absolute stinker sold well and got great reviews in a lot of publications.

I actually liked the SNES version of Taz-Mania quite a bit, in spite of the sup-par controls. It was an interesting concept, anyway, more so than the generic platformer they made for the Genesis.emSparkly posted:
I got this for $10 at Sears. Our 386 was too slow for it at the time, so I could not get past the beginning pre-stage with the jumping dogs. We eventually upgraded to a 486, and it was too fast, so I could not get past the beginning pre-stage with the jumping dogs. I did get past them once, and the actual game afterwards was trash as hell. gently caress this game, I want my $10 back, even after 30 years

Everything \GAMES\WIN30\*.* is poo poo with the exception of some card and board games. The only reason anyone played them was because it was so unfathomable to imagine a video game in windows that you’d download it just in case.

Oh man I enjoyed the tail end of the video store boom before Blockbuster arrived and homogenized everything. Felt like every grocery store, barber shop, etc rented video games and while they had the big titles sometimes a little store would have multi-carts and I didn’t realize until much later those weren’t official. Was also great when they’d have generous deals like dollar a day rentals to encourage taking a risk on an odd title. When construction began on Blockbuster all the stores knew it was game over, but kid me got some ridiculous deals on liquidated inventory. For like $8 got Kickle Cubicle, Power Blade 2, and I think a sports game. Fun times. Uh for thread content I did not enjoy Quest 64.

Tak of the power of juju is/was a poopy avalanche of semen, if nothing else than the fact the vast majority of the game is running around badly designed levels collecting 100 macguffins because the game told you to. Also Gollum now looks like Tak for some reason

I already posted this game in another thread, but Super Boy I (and by extension, Super Boy II since it's little more than a level swap) is a poo poo-tier clone of Super Mario Bros. for the SG-1000 (and not the Master System, as I originally thought). The only good thing about it is the message you receive for clearing a castle stage:  Here it is in action: https://i.imgur.com/GCuDD3N.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/4haaIL9.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/3etRcwG.mp4 Bowser isn't supposed to appear twice there, it's just that the game's a shoddily slapped-together hunk of poo poo. Maybe I am cheating a bit with those examples, since the Super Boy games are all unofficial homebrew things. What isn't a homebrew game however is Golden Axe for the Master System (developed and published by Sega, obviously), and it's terrible in many, many ways. Here's a (very) brief clip of the game in action: https://i.imgur.com/YQYZFnh.mp4 I'll admit that I'm beyond utterly poo poo at this one, but to be fair to myself it's a horribly unresponsive game, and hit detection seemingly disables itself on a whim (or at least until an enemy wants to hit you). Of course everything moves around with the same jerky ugliness as the worst sort of stop-motion animation. The screen scrolling isn't smooth either. What an experience. emSparkly posted:
And then all was set right with the PC-DOS release of Mega Man III.  Oh wait, no it wasn't.
