The most hated titles that you enjoy

[ReTrO-pLaYeR]

When we talk about games with a love/hate relationship among players, titles like Earthworm Jim, Boogerman and Bubsy are bound to come up. You have a cult-following of sorts with these titles- a dedicated fanbase of players whom pray for the triumphant return of these franchises to the modern consoles. Then, there are critics and basic haters who slam the game whenever given the chance.

Today, I want to discuss games that receive only pure hatred among the general populace. Games that <b> NOBODY </b> in the entire universe, set aside maybe 5-10 persons, actually enjoy to an extent.

For me, the only game that's coming to my mind is Widget for the NES. It's branded as a terrible game, especially by the once popular Armake21/Nicotine Alien and of course his silly little followers who don't even give the games reviewed a chance. It's been considered cheap, difficult and to have grating music. I say "How can anybody think like that?". Indeed, it's got its problems- and it does feel a bit dated for the NES, but it's not bad either. Atlus was inspired in the process of making the game- they knew what direction they wanted to go with the game. They chose the route of a Megaman/Metroid hybrid, and added the main character (from the original show)'s unique power to transform. To add a bit more depth, you can even upgrade the weaponry and magic power (for transformations) for a less rigorous task. My only aggravation is that the transformations are underutilized. You will only ever need these powers for a few spots, and in some cases not at all if you're not shooting for the upgrades. In any case, it should be nowhere near the worst of the NES. I'd place it a little bit higher than an average NES game, since it is a fun little experience but also is ridden with a handful of shortcomings.

bomberman hero for n64

[ReTrO-pLaYeR]

bomberman hero for n64

I remember renting that one back in the times you could actually rent N64 titles. Of course, that was years ago- but I did like it as a kid. I remember there being the premise of rescuing a princess- which felt overly familiar but the actual game itself was enjoyable.

[Oldskool]

I always like Astyanax on the NES. Especially because back then the cut scenes were way ahead of their time. I thought the cut scenes were better than Ninja Gaiden's even. Now it seems that no one talks anything but crap for the game, but I like the large colorful graphics, decent music, and awesome story.

Another one that I enjoyed that a lot of people just despise is Sewar Shark for the Sega CD. I don't know why, but I just love the corny FMV and Solar City sounds like a fun place to be.

[HappehLemons]

Deadly Towers

[todesengel]

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Subzero for PSOne and Chaos in the Windy City for SNES. Once you get past the controls in Subzero I feel that it's a really great game and Chaos in the Windy City is just so ridiculous I love every minute of it.

[Compute]

WWF Raw for Genesis/SNES.

[jonebone]

Of course, that was years ago- but I did like it as a kid.

Aren't you like 14? lol....

I liked a couple of nominations in this thread already, MK Mythologies and WWF Raw.

I also liked Trog! on NES, but that game didn't get a lot of love. Awesome powerups and exciting gameplay.

[RPG_Fanatic]

The RPG Beyond The Beyond for the PSone. I think it's a great old school RPG.

[Icarus Moonsight]

The person who first mentions Hydlide gets a black eye... Oh shit! :beaten:

[old_skoolin_jim]

Virtual Bart on the Genesis... sure it has a couple of control snags here and there, but all in all, I thought it was a collection of some entertaining mini-games, and the cut-scenes did a great job at representing the Simpsons universe in they heyday of season 5 and 6 (what many would say the show's best years, but that's another topic entirely).
Bart's Nightmare I still fire up on occasion too, but some of the stages are way too difficult to enjoy the same way (Indiana Bart and Bartzilla, anyone?).

[Oldskool]

I loved Bart's Nightmare. When that came out I played it on the SNES and I swear it was probably one of the most colorful games in existence at the time. Not only that but I thought the special effects were pretty good. Yeah it did have it's quirks though, that's for sure.

[Razor Ramon]

hey yo!

I love a bad racing game! the best of the worst be on the Jaguar.

I can't get enough of Checkered Flag and Club Drive. Seriously, I love em for reals! I be the worlds #1 fan of these games!

[Oldskool]

Yeah I think I am guilty of that too, I like Hard Drivin' and Race Drivin' and a lot of people don't like those games because they didn't age well.

[Razor Ramon]

Yeah I think I am guilty of that too, I like Hard Drivin' and Race Drivin' and a lot of people don't like those games because they didn't age well.

hey yo!
Hard Drivin' was cool - but I got spoiled playing in the arcade. maybe if I had a wheel and pedals I could get down on Genesis - lol Hard Drivin is how I learned to drive stick! too sweet

[NaturalChemical]

I already like a few of the games in here. Bomberman Hero, Trog!, hell, I still play Bart's Nightmare sometimes. You're right, though; Indiana Bart is way too hard.

Another great game that I never hear about is Thrilla's Surfari. Beat the hell out of T&C Surf Designs.

[ConsoleAddict]

The RPG Beyond The Beyond for the PSone. I think it's a great old school RPG.

I played it back in 1996 and didn't enjoy it. However, I would definitely buy it if it appeared in the PSN Store. It deserves another look since it was the first traditional JRPG on the PSX. Maybe I'll find it used somewhere.

[fergojisan]

Old guy checking in - Human Cannonball for the 2600. It was one of the games we got with the system for Christmas in 1980, and my sister and I played the hell out of it then. I try to pick it up whenever I see it because I feel bad for it.

[hellfire]

I remember renting that one back in the times you could actually rent N64 titles. Of course, that was years ago- but I did like it as a kid. I remember there being the premise of rescuing a princess- which felt overly familiar but the actual game itself was enjoyable.

I used to rent it all the time as a kid, it used to be my favorite game. And now that I think about it, the game is really hard

[j_factor]

Eliminator for PSX. It's not hated so much as downright obscure, but the few reviews I've seen of it have all been mediocre to negative.

[skaar]

I take a lot of flack because Zelda II was my favourite Zelda game in the series... LttP is a close second.

Then again, I also loved Wind Waker for exactly the same reason a lot of people hated it - I *liked* cruising the open seas for hours at a time and exploring.

[Doonzmore]

Nes:
Hook
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Ferarri Grand Prix Challenge

PS1:
The Mummy

Gamecube:
Mickey's Magical Mirror

Liar.

[jesse41993]

I always loved the postal series even though it got like an average of 4.0 out of 10 by every reviewer.

[Black_Tiger]

Night Creatures is completely broken and there's more or less only one correct path through the game that you have to figure out for yourself. I original beat it on a dare, but learned to really appreciate it for what it is. It's very satisfying to finish such a challenging game and the SotN aspect makes it much more enjoyable than something like Impossamole.

Here's proof that it can be done-

http://www.youtube.com/user/superpcenginegrafx#p/a/u/1/sKC1qL8sbDU


I also enjoyed Rambo NES once I figured it out. similar to night Creatures, there didn't seem to be much direction in such a non-linear game, but once I got on the right path it was very cool.

[PresidentLeever]

I don't know about hated, but I really like Two Crude Dudes (MD) and Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel (SNES/MD).

[SegaAges]

Not quite classic, but I love Sonic 06 (Sonic's 1st appearence on 360 and PS3).

[kupomogli]

Castlevania Adventure and Castlevania Legends

A lot of people, even Castlevania fans dislike Adventure, even more dislike Legends. These games are both very very good platformer titles but considering how good the earlier level based titles are, a lot of people are a lot harder on these two games than other platformer games that are praised yet not as good.

Castlevania Adventure is all due to stage 3. Easily the hardest stage in the game as soon as you get to the part where you have to out run the spikes. Every action has to be near perfect.

Castlevania Legends has trap candles. Now I can't see why people complain about them because the trap candles are clearly noticeable as white candles while the others are colored dark. Other people dislike how Sonia Belmont steals Trevor's spot as the first Belmont to defeat Dracula and the inclusion of Alucard and both of them having a kid together. I don't consider the game canon, but nothing stops me from playing the game. A good game is a good game.

[Enigmus]

Fester's Quest. It's hard, but it's so hard to beat that I cannot stop playing. Then again, I do use the Advantage for turbo, but it's still addictively hard.

[Wraith Storm]

I take a lot of flack because Zelda II was my favourite Zelda game in the series...

Well, that's because Zelda II is the best Zelda game in the series. All the other Zelda installments are really good but Zelda II is just awesome! But I'm sure I feel that way because of my love fore side scrolling RPGs.

I love how you gain experience and can level up and learn magic spells. I also like the difficulty level. I always find the game tough... very tough, but never frustrating.

It has solid graphics, a great assortment of items, an excellent OST and memorable characters. (Wait's for our very own ERROR to post!)

Zelda II is even awesome for it's imperfections. The game has some of the best glitches I've seen. Like the glitch in the town Darunia. That one is crazy, where is starts combining different towns together.

[Double Ugly]

I don't know if this is hated or not but I don't think it is well though of. Command and Conquer: Renegade. It was great.

[NaturalChemical]

Then again, I also loved Wind Waker for exactly the same reason a lot of people hated it - I *liked* cruising the open seas for hours at a time and exploring.

And I thought I was the only one.

[TheClash603]

A few games I really like that seems to be disliked by most:

NES
Yo! Noid
Chiller (arcade version as well)

TG16
Yo' Bro!

Jaguar
Fight for Life

Gameboy
Wizards & Warriors X - Fortress of Fear

Genesis
Ballz
Pit-Fighter

Playstation
Blast Chamber

Saturn
Criticom

Laseractive
Rocket Coaster

Just a few that came to mind, but there are quite a few more. There are a lot of games out there that have a ton of charm and are a blast to play, but may not be perfect...

[Baloo]

Eternal Champions for Sega Genesis. Why does everyone hate that game? I really like it.

[Johnny_Boy]

Castlevania Adventure and Castlevania Legends
...


Fester's Quest. It's hard, but it's so hard to beat that I cannot stop playing. Then again, I do use the Advantage for turbo, but it's still addictively hard.

Castlevania Adventure had a slight upgrade for the Konami Game Boy Compilation. Besides the gaudy color palette, your character's walking speed was increased. Unfortunately, it wasn't released in America.

There's also the recent WiiWare remake, with nicely detailed, but recycled, art.

There's a video floating somewhere about the differences between the US and japanese versions of Fester's Quest. The Famicom's got tweaked gameplay, and is apparently much more fun to play.

[LaughingMAN.S9]

advent rising for the xbox....WORD :cool:

[todesengel]

Fester's Quest. It's hard, but it's so hard to beat that I cannot stop playing. Then again, I do use the Advantage for turbo, but it's still addictively hard.Fester's Quest is awesome stuff, people blow the difficulty out to be worse than it really is.


Eternal Champions for Sega Genesis. Why does everyone hate that game? I really like it.The problem with Eternal Champions, for me at least, was it had terrible control. It just wasn't tight or fine tuned, now the Sega CD upgrade I thought was actually playable and fun.

[Pk116]

I played it back in 1996 and didn't enjoy it. However, I would definitely buy it if it appeared in the PSN Store. It deserves another look since it was the first traditional JRPG on the PSX. Maybe I'll find it used somewhere.

I tried many times to like this game. I must have played it three or four times, but never liked it. I agree it should have been better. It did start off good.

[Zing]

Fester's Quest. It's hard, but it's so hard to beat that I cannot stop playing. Then again, I do use the Advantage for turbo, but it's still addictively hard.

I could consistently get to the final boss without dying, but could never beat it. Even with turbo, it was impossible.

It was a good game up until that point. Although the boss battles had the same problem as Blaster Master. They took forever. I don't know why they thought it was cool to have the boss take 9234900 hits before dying.

[Pk116]

Although it is not hated, I love SaGa Frontier for the PS1, which many people dislike. I think it is one of the best RPGs on the PSX behind Final Fantasy and Suikoden.

I also enjoy Adventures of Dino Riki on the NES. It is a game that puts many off with its high difficulty.

That is all that I can think of for now.

Oh, and I also enjoy Dragon's Lair for the NES. That is the big one that most people hate, but I love. It is so original and challenging. However, I think that, for many people, it is a very cryptic, unfriendly game.

[Howie6925]

The person who first mentions Hydlide gets a black eye... Oh shit! :beaten:

Mine was going to be super hydlide for for the genesis, but if its going to get me black eye I got nothing. :P

[Icarus Moonsight]

Mine was going to be super hydlide for for the genesis, but if its going to get me black eye I got nothing. :P

One of these days Alice...

I've been thinking, it's hard for me to come up with a game that fits this criteria.

[McKillington]

I always liked Zelda II, Castlevania II, and Mario 2, despite those games being the least-liked/most ignored of their respective franchises.
I also really liked Castlevania 64 and Bomberman Hero.

A more recent example of a series I like that others hate is Monster Hunter, but thankfully, it's obscure to the point where people aren't as likely to argue with me about it.

Edit: I just realized that the "Fist of the North Star" game for the NES falls under this, just because it's a game about making people explode with your fist. I also loved Final Fantasy Legend and FFL2.

[Nightram]

Human Cannonball?! I loved that game. The sound effects alone made me play that one for hours back in the day.

Plok (SNES). Weird game mechanic (throwing your limbs) and a really tough game. Fantastic music and the difficulty kept me coming back.

Street Racer (SNES). Awful game with hideously stereotypical characters and the occasional game-ending glitch. Still, playing soccer with cars was fun as hell. Seriously.

Mega Man Soccer (SNES). Music? Awful. Gameplay? Horrendous! Seeing Skull Man kick a soccer ball into Pharoah Man's face? Priceless.

ClayFighter Series (Multiplatform). Everyone thought the first was cute, but the two sequels are widely regarded as mistakes. I liked all versions of every game, but I was really into clay sculpting at the time they were made, and now hold nostalgic value. It also means I snagged a very rare N64 game and have it in great condition.

007 World is Not Enough (N64) - Loved this "sequel", as it had many of the same elements and gameplay as the ultra-popular Goldeneye with additions like capture the flag, but apparently most didn't agree.

Pipe Dreams (NES-PS1) - Regarded as a lackluster puzzler, I liked the challenge of getting the most crossovers possible for points before the ooze spilled out. I was surprised at the effort in Pipe Dreams 3D for the PS1, but ultimately it was the same game with a facelift.

[Enigmus]

There's a video floating somewhere about the differences between the US and japanese versions of Fester's Quest. The Famicom's got tweaked gameplay, and is apparently much more fun to play.

Huh, can't find it anywhere on Youtube, just a lot of hate videos for the game. Any idea where you saw it?

[j1e]

Contra Force. The slow-down sucked, but other than that, it was fun.

[Swamperon]

Sabrina the animated series: Zapped! is a guilty pleasure.

I don't think this game is so much hated as downright ignored. As it would be, being a TV cartoon tie-in game aimed at kids. My sister got it Christmas years ago and I gave it a play.

It's actually quite a good little platformer and I found it enjoyable. Visually it looks pretty good and it was challenging in one or two places. I'd recommend it if you ever happen to come cross it on the cheap.

[NayusDante]

Gundam Crossfire (PS3) - It's fun, I enjoyed it. I kinda see why people complain, but I really liked it.

Murakumo (Xbox) - It's got issues, but it's a neat concept and it's still playable.

Etrom: The Astral Essence (PC) - It's got a foreign, campy quality to it.

Gilligan's Island (NES) - I remember renting this one as a kid and loving it, but I've seen a lot of negative reviews. Then again, I just loved watching syndicated Gilligan's Island reruns as a kid.

Mega Man X6 (PSX) - I friggin loved this one. They left the Japanese music and voices in, so it has the best localization of all the PSX MM games. The level design isn't as awful as everyone makes it out to be, I found it pleasantly challenging. My only gripe is that a lot of the cutscene images aren't in the right aspect ratio.

Baroque (Wii/PS2) - It's so surreal and subtle, nobody seems to appreciate that. They're too busy bashing the "difficulty." It's actually a darn easy game...

Final Fantasy VIII (PSX/PC) - I liked the Junction system. I liked drawing magic. I liked Squall and his issues.

[pseudonym]

I have to disagree with you about X6. That game has some awful level design; whoever designed Metal Shark Player, Blaze Heatnix, and Infinity Whatever's levels should have been fired from Capcom.

I did enjoy Baroque and FF8 though.

[sixwayshot]

bomberman hero for n64

Yes! I still love that game. I think that if it didn't have the Bomberman name on it, it would have been better-received.

Anyways:

Pitfall 3D: Beyond The Jungle (PSX) - One of three titles that I got when I got my PlayStation. Bruce Campbell plays Pitfall Harry. Bruce Effing Campbell.

Mario's Time Machine (SNES) - One of those games that I still occasionally go back and play. I think it's because of the box art. Something about the box art for late-NES-early-SNES Mario titles just gives me a rush of nostalgia.

Chameleon Twist (N64) - A game I played specifically because a friend of mine told me it was good. I enjoyed renting it from time to time from the local Blockbuster. My mom actually tracked down the game for me as a Christmas gift.

Sonic 3D Blast (PC) - This is probably the most hated of all the Genesis Sonic titles. I remember going nuts after seeing the PC version at K-Mart, and begging my dad to buy it for me. He did. Played the hell out of it.

Sonic R (PC) - Went to Office Depot with my dad, and one of his friends and his son. They both let us get a game. I chose Sonic R (Bundled with Devil's Island Pinball! Never played that.), he chose one of those shovelware packs that had 100 game demos on it or something like that. Played this a lot. Then I realized that I could be playing better stuff.

Gridders (3DO) - I remember playing this game at a demo station when I was REALLY young. I think my dad had to lift me up for me to play it. "Playing" would be a bit of a stretch. More like hitting buttons.

[Johnny_Boy]

Huh, can't find it anywhere on Youtube, just a lot of hate videos for the game. Any idea where you saw it?
I can't for the life of me remember where I saw the damn thing. All I know is I didn't hallucinate it. If I ever find a trail I'll post an update.
EDIT: Here it is! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZM0ID4Dt6I) The reason I couldn't find it is because it was actually the european version that got the tweaks. There is no Famicom edition.

Some of you gamers have suffered from the flaws in the American version.
Well, guess what? The European version is actually more playable and has improvements from the American version, such as you can shoot through walls and obstacles, and most enemies are less tedious to kill. Though you still have to face the problem when some projectiles tend to miss targets.

[Rickstilwell1]

I agree with other people on here about some titles.

I highly enjoy Beyond the Beyond for PS One (played thru it 10 times and will not stop there cause I'm insane.)

Then I enjoy Checkered Flag for Atari Jaguar because of a couple particular levels and some of the game music style.

I like Sonic 3D Blast quite a bit on all platforms. Viewpoint the arcade shooter for PS1 got bad reviews in GamePro magazine when it was out telling owners of the game to "beat it quickly then bury it in your back yard before your friends find out." even like playing the Genesis and Neo Geo versions of that game.

I love everything about the Neo Geo CD game system and actually put up with the load times.

I never thought of Yo! Noid, Zelda II, Super Mario Bros. 2 US & J versions or Faxanadu as bad games, but I see them complained about on youtube all the time. ???????? Also any port of Fantastic Dizzy is great fun to me, but a lot of people don't enjoy the pick up objects and place them elsewhere style of gameplay.

I enjoy all the Dragon Ball Z fighting games, but many non DBZ fans don't care for the gameplay style. To me the games are fun but it's true that all the sequels to the original games are fanservice.

Most of my friends who enjoy the Legacy of Kain series like all of them except for Blood Omen because it's not 3D like the rest of the games. I'm like the only one besides my stepdad that I personally knew enjoyed that game.

Oh and the PS1 ports of Diablo and Darkstone are usually bashed for having features and menus that take more trouble to access, but I've been playing them for hours at a time; addicted to them.

Knuckles Chaotix is rarely looked at as the sole reason to own a 32X but in my eyes it is a good enough game to merit its existence. I'm the type of person who will own a console even if I only like 1 game for it. (Let's here it for Dodge It for Fairchild Channel F!)

[ShinobiMan]

Oh man, I need to get these off my chest. I love these games!

NES:
Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout
Fester's Quest
Monster Party

SEGA CD:
Black Hole Assault

SATURN:
Sonic R

SNES:
Bart's Nightmare

PSX:
Blast Chamber

DREAMCAST:

Superman on NES.

[raptor94k]

Another great game that I never hear about is Thrilla's Surfari. Beat the hell out of T&C Surf Designs.

I know this was back on the first page...but I love Thrilla's Surfari. This was one of the games that my brother and I used to play when I was a kid in the early 90s. I remember we would try to get as far as we could, although we never beat it, both using warps and without using the warps.

Last year, I decided that I was going to beat it. I hadn't seriously played it in like 10-15 years at that point. It took me a few tries and playing it off and on over the course of a week, but I finally pulled it off and beat the game without warping. I was excited. The best part is that it really isn't as difficult as I always thought it was.

In relation to the topic at hand, I actually did see someone somewhere say that they hated Thrilla's Surfari, especially when compared to the original T&C Surf Designs. And I disagree, while I like the original, Thrilla's Surfari is way better.

[thom_m]

I love Heavy Nova, despite of how bad it is - and I'm aware of how bad that thing is. I just like it, go figure. Rented it once, enjoyed it (although it was really bad), and will probably get one someday.

I also like Yo!Noid, like someone mentioned. Actually, most of my friends loved it back then, and it seems to have quite the following among brazilian gamers. It's a fun game, I don't understand why it's so hated there.

[Lord_Magus]

Castlevania Adventure

I'm guilty for this as well. I can't really say that I could easily pick up the game and play it today (the slow walking speed is still intolerable), but back when I had all the time in the world and nothing but a GameBoy to keep me company, I spent many hours finishing that game over and over again :)

Other games I enjoy but aren't always talked about in the highest regard:
- Final Fantasy Legend II (the OST is still among the best in the series)
- Dragons Lair (GB version - I got the music stuck in my head right now just by thinking about it),
- Fortress of Fear (not as awesome as Ironsword, but still fun)
- Gargoyles Quest (one of my favorite platformers actually)

[Arkhan]

Hydlide. All of them.

youre not alone.

I didnt think the game sucked for all the years I used to play it, and then AVGN went and made fun of it. Its a damn funny video review, but I really liked the game.

[j_factor]

- Final Fantasy Legend II (the OST is still among the best in the series)
- Gargoyles Quest (one of my favorite platformers actually)

I thought these were both highly acclaimed.

[bohproper]

space harrier on game gear couldnt get enough from age 8-12 lol

[NME]

Oh man, I need to get these off my chest. I love these games!

SEGA CD:
Black Hole Assault



I also enjoyed Black Hole Assault (The game, not the adult movie). \\^_^/

[fairyland]

Milon's Secret Castle for the NES. I never knew it was a hated game until the AVGN made a video. It was way hard and confusing as what to do, but once you know, it's really enjoyable. And it seems really popular in Japan too for whatever reason, yet a total fail in the USA.

[thesuperdiogo]

I love fmw games.

Specially Night Trap and Corpse Killer on the Mega CD 32X

[Pk116]

I agree with Monster Party and Karate Kid. Who could hate these great games?

I am not sure I love Milon's Secret Castle.LOL

[Arkhan]

sounds like Hydlide syndrome.

[EvilSlefo]

I think both these games for the SNES got bad scores, Gemfire and King Arthurs World. I never used the mouse for King Arthurs World, but that game got crazy hard towards the end! Loved both of these gems!

I also remember seeing King Arthurs World on the top 100 worst games of all time @ Electronic Gaming Monthly, I think. They said they would of rather hung themselves with the mouse cord then play the game ROFL

[Arkhan]

What the hells wrong with Gemfire. That was an excellent SNES game.

[EvilSlefo]

What the hells wrong with Gemfire. That was an excellent SNES game.

I think nothing is wrong with Gemfire. I LOVE that game. Beat it when I was a kid and then when all the next gen consoles were out.

I just remember everyone (my friends at least) hating it growing up. In fact, I got the game back when because my friend thought it was that shitty.

But hey, great to meet another Gemfire fan :snuggle: lol j/k

I used to love Milon's Secret Castle, of course I owned it way back when I only had a handful of games so I didn't have very many alternatives to play. I remember I could get pretty far in the game before hitting some sort of vertical level (side tower?) before getting completely frustrated. Never did beat it. I didn't know AVGN did a video of it, maybe I'll have to check it out.

hahah


Yeah I borrowed the game from a friend when I was in first or 2nd grade. Her mom was a huge video game buyer. she'd kinda just buy tons of stuff.

I must have played that game for days straight. It was very fun.. It is the first detailed strategy game I can remember playing

[Swamperon]

Sonic Shuffle gets a lot of undeserved hate. People claim it's just a shameless Mario Party rip-off (Which I suppose it is to some degree) but personally I prefer it to Mario Party and will gladly play it for hours.

[PSony]

I actually like Street Fighter: The Movie (PS1/Saturn). The graphics make it unique for a SF game. There's nothing wrong with how the game plays; it feels like Super Street Fighter II Turbo with EX special moves from Street Fighter III.

It may look like Mortal Kombat, but at least it still plays better.

[todesengel]

It may look like Mortal Kombat, but at least it still plays better.I think most people hate Street Fighter: The Movie because it was based off the film. Most people probably never even played the damn thing and just do the whole "it's based off the movie so it sucks". Now the arcade version played more like an MK game but was still damn good as well.
