It's been said to death, but Ghostbusters on the NES really was poo poo tier. If it was somehow unlicensed, then it'd be a footnote in retro gaming history, but I mean... to gently caress up that license so much, not just once but TWICE?! GB2 sucks as well. Why we in NA never got New Ghostbusters 2 by HAL is beyond me. It's kind of mindless, but it's fun, and not impossible. Plus, you can not only play as Winston, but Louis Tully, too!

Streets of Rage II for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis is widely considered as one of the greatest beat-em-up games ever, and it's hard to argue against this. The SMS version is the complete loving opposite; total poo poo from start to finish. Rupert Buttermilk posted:It's been said to death, but Ghostbusters on the NES really was poo poo tier. The NES version especially stands out among that crowd for seemingly going out of its way to be as lovely and lazy as possible, not even trying to make something interesting out of it. There is no fun to be had at all! The SMS one is far from what I'd call 'good' but it's clear that compared to NES, there was some sort of effort put into it, in particular regarding gameplay during that loving stairwell section.

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:And then all was set right with the PC-DOS release of Mega Man III. Okay, lmao I know exactly how that Mega Man feels Here's another terrible game from my past. The graphics were good, but the gameplay was poo poo: SPQR - The Empire's Darkest Hour  It was basically a Myst clone set in Rome. Exploration, puzzles, and not a lot of guidance on what you were supposed to do. I spent hours trying to figure out this game, but I'm admittedly pretty poo poo at Myst-likes. I grew to just hate it instead. Here's another video showing what it looked like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j81j26sKsp0

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted: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). It still looks infinitely more playable than the officially licensed Super Mario Special. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txcEMPakkPg

Oh, man. I had this game and it was incredibly frustrating for all the reasons you mentioned. If I remember correctly, it only had three robot masters, not that it mattered because every stage was a death trap from the very start thanks to the poorly aimed mega buster, the difficult to control jump, and mega man’s total lack of health. I also had Home Alone for DOS which was divided into two parts. First you set the traps for the wet bandits, then they actually break in the house and Kevin has to lead them into the traps, armed only with the world’s weakest BB gun.

Here is one I should have mentioned a WHILE ago: Star Trek Borg Now, this game is just one big Sprint commercial. The character you end up playing is named "Sprint." There was poo poo in the box for Sprint cellular service, too. It was almost as bad as the actual game. John de Lancie is great as Q, but it's just an interactive movie "game" where you have to click on key things as the clip unfolds or you die. It was really frustrating when the action happened too fast to figure out what you should click on. Thankfully, YouTube has a long-play of it if people want to watch this sidestory episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GvEDBHAld8

The gameplay's milquetoast, but Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1 was the game that taught preteen me that, yes, videogames can have bad writing, and said bad writing could negatively impact the artistic experience, so it will always hold a place in my heart as a terrible game. Also I think the gameplay sucked but I'm trying to be polite.

The beginning gameplay is really bad, and I couldn't be bothered to play further before deleting it. Patrick Stewart narrating couldn't even save it.

Further to the Castlevania talk, while I do love Dark Souls as it is, I would've loved for From Software and Konami to have teamed up, and then developed what we now know as Dark Souls into a proper 3D Castlevania.  Anyway, y'all talk about Taz on Game Gear, and yes, that is pretty much objectively terrible. But I only played the Genesis/MD version, and that game was so boring. Like astoundingly unremarkable. I feel like that's worse; so bland that no one cares, not even enough to celebrate its awfulness, if it had any. My friend and I would kind of go on a rotation of trading games. He had that one, and when it got to the point where I was borrowing it, I'd try to find any sort of fun in it, but none was to be found. It looks nice, sounds fine, isn't terribly buggy from what I recall, but like there's not one bit of actual fun to be had. It is filled with rote platforming. Sometimes, rote is worse than rot.

Bogus Adventure posted:Lol, the Barbarian game reminded me of this gem: Guessing you missed the Xbox arcade version with 4 player support and updated graphics. Was only on the original and the live services shut down a whole 13 years ago (JFC that just made me feel old). Apparently you can jump through some hoops to play it? Not an endorsement. https://youtu.be/PWVuQEwlhvM

I recently played every Gameboy game for at least 10 minutes. Dragon's Lair tops the worst games for me on that system. There are a lot of really boring games and also Simpsons games, which are always terrible, but Dragon's Lair was a particular kind of terrible. Honorable mentions go to Hercules, Pinocchio, Mouse Trap Hotel, Robocop 2, Junglebook, Casper, and every sports compilation style game. (Olympic games, street games, the one quarterback club, etc. etc.) I'm sure I'm forgetting some real stinkers.

I find it really difficult to dislike many home computer games from the 8-bit era, just because of how much a team managed to do with so little. That said, there were most definitely some that should not have been released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWYIX3fibJo  E: For comparison, here is another game developed for the same hardware as SANTA: https://youtu.be/TgdLRVuM5k4 Whybird fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Aug 1, 2023 |

 This game. I wanted this to be good when I was a kid. The only "roleplaying" involved is that you are playing a character and there are stats. The instruction booklet conveyed nothing and it's just grinding endlessly to one of the most annoying soundtracks in a world where a single touch from a monster (even though there's a life bar) will kill you. The game gives you no direction (there are no NPCs per se, no dialogue, no anything offered to the player other than, "Here's a world. Don't die, I guess, and maybe you'll find *an* objective"). For years I thought I was playing it wrong, but reviews point to it being one of the worst games. Video of someone playing it correctly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgFtO1FCSko What makes this more impressive is that there were sequels.

Hope you like escaping from camp deadly. I remember there was a poorly made NFL game boy game where going out of bounds mid-field counted as a safety.

Little Britain: The Video Game is hands-down the worst game available for the PS2, and also way up the list as a contender for one of the worst games of all time. No, I'm not recording any footage of it. it's just a series of incredibly lovely no-effort minigames, the only one of any note being an infuriatingly horrible Pac-Man sort of thing where the overhead camera is positioned too close for you to make any real judgement on where you should go next to avoid the not-ghosts. Absolutely loving appalling. Grab Im Moor posted:Dang, Total Carnage (the arcade) owns, like its predecessor Smash TV.

Hope you like escaping from camp deadly. On that topic, Bart vs The Space Mutants for NES is already known as a bit of a turd, and nothing really changes when it comes to the MD/Gen port... but then there's the music. Imagine a game based on The Simpsons, but without any sort of interpretation/variation of the iconic theme by Danny Elfman. Instead you get this ludicrous poo poo on loop, which sounds more like it should have been used in some surreal dream sequence in an early episode of Rugrats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7NJys2yekk I easily went some 25+ years of never playing this game on MD since the early 90s (and even then I only ever played it at a buddy's house after school over one week), yet when I encountered it again all that time later during some sort of "play some garbage" session I remembered this stupid loving tune beat-for-beat, note-for-note.

Croccers posted:I could never figure out the first level. I had this game when I was very young and before I had any idea that this was based off a TV show -this was well before the movies obviously- so I just assumed the reason it was called mission impossible was because the game was literally impossible to beat. Pretty sure they were quite a few of the early games that were literally impossible to beat as they could just keep on scrolling/repeating levels or what not, so an unbeatable game seemed pretty normal to me at the time.
