Here are some more games I wanted to add (the edit button is out for the count again, so I have to make a new post).

UFO for the Odyssey2 - not sure why so many people have a problem with this game. I have no issues at all with the aiming mechanism of UFO. I have always like the game, and always will (heck, I played it earlier today). Yes, the aiming this is not what you'd call normal, but I can easily deal with it. Others....

Space Invaders for the GameBoy Advance - Ever collector I've talked with always has to tell me how much greater the Japanese version is. Well, guess what, I don't care. I like the game the way it is, and it is a blast to play. So there... :P

Almost every game that I like for the Arcadia 2001 - so many people poke fun of this system. I like it, probably because I almost always go with the underdog of systems. Sure, not all the games are great, but there are some rather good ones for the Arcadia.

Cybermorph for the Atari Jaguar - many, many people rip on this game. I really can't figure that out. I've played this game many times, and always find it to be a rather enjoyable experience - even if the graphics are not top notch.

Alien Invaders+ for the Odyssey2 - I actually like this game. No, I don't like it as much as Space Invaders, but it is a good game in its own way. I don't really compare it to SI, since Alien Invaders is really its own thing. It may seem simple, but getting through all ten levels is a real challenge.

Kabuki Warriors: Xbox.

It's been called the worst of the worst, but it's not that bad. Sure, it's not very deep like Capcom fighters, but it's got a decent engine and idea is a unique one. Cool multi-player mode too.

i'd pay $50 for a remake of Zombie Nation with even first generation ps1 graphics. i'm surprised it hasn't picked up anywhere near as much attention as Monster Party, which is about the same in level of weirdness.

Mega Man Anniversary Collection. I like it because it has the 2 arcade games on it (which are actually fun, especially w/2 players, but there's slowdown in Power Battle when you use 2 players which sucks, then again I have the GCN version :P)

Divine Sealing (MD)
An unlicenced hentai shmup. Nothing amazing, a bit bland, but still not a bad game. Even without hentai it would be entertaining enough for me. I love it.

The Ooze (GEN/MD)
One of the most unique and funniest games I have ever played. I love its nice B-movie feel and extremely banal plot.

Phantasy Star 3 (GEN/MD)
I failed to see what's wrong with this one. A nice RPG with some nice ideas (generations, magic system). Maybe the worst of the series, but still good.

Castlevania II Simon's Quest for the NES is one of my favorites of the series. I'd rank it up there right next to SOTN. I thought the puzzle element as well as the night and day themes were great. Not to mention the soundtrack is awesome.

Agreed. This is one of my favorite Castlevanias. It's not universally hated or anything but it is generally regarded as one of the weaker entries in the series. And I thought it was at least on par with,or in some cases better than the other Castlevanias.

I'd also like to mention Keith Courage, China Warrior and Victory run. Some turbo games that a lot of people hate. I wouldn't say any of them are excellent or the best games on the system, but I can say i've had fun with all of them.

Someone else mentioned Saga Frontier. I am a bit biased about this game considering it was my first rpg. The psx was certainly not my first system. I had a sms,nes,snes and genesis before it but my mom would never buy me rpg's for those as they were pretty expensive. By the time Saga Frontier rolled around I had my own cash. I played almost nothing but this game for an entire summer. I loved all the exploration,non-linearity(is that a word?) and the fact that you could play a different game with so many characters. I have played a lot of better rpgs since but I still enjoy Saga Frontier.

Body Harvest for the N64. My friends leave everytime I put the cartridge in. Sure is has the worst graphics on the N64 but I still love it :D

07-27-2005, 06:16 PM

Mischief Makers on N64. All of my friends hate it, but I think it's a very enjoyable sidescroller with some pretty impressive 2D graphics.

I like the Cruis'n games (USA, World, Exotica) on the N64...everyone seems to hate those.

I also enjoyed Batman Forever: The Arcade Game (waits for people to throw rotten fruit) on the Playstation and Saturn. Eveyone hates that game to death because of the heavy pixelated characters, insane button mashing, and just about any other reason...but I liked it. I guess it's because I've always been a big fan of sidescrolling beat-em-ups, and I enjoyed doing all those insane combos and taking out row after row of thugs.

Tron Deadly Discs for Intellivision.

Can't figure out why so many people seem to hate this game. It rocks!! It's one of my all time favorite top ten games - period! :D
I could play this thing for hours and hours.
I'll second that. It's actually the game I played the longest without ever stopping.

I ended up at end of an afternoon with a huge score not knowing how to pause, I had to go to the bathroom and never played the game since.

Let me be the fourth so far in this thread to mention Super Mario Bros. 2, which I find to be one of the very best games for the NES.

The second to back up Sub-Zero Mythologies for the N64, a nice little M-rated adventure with my favourite Mortal Kombat character.

And possibly the first for N64's Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire. Decent graphics, controls with a mix of on foot and flying adventure with a badass character in a Star Wars setting.

One Piece: Grand Battle. I think it's funny when people import anime games and say they're awesome then buy the English versions and dismiss them as trash. I hate bad dubbing, and anime in general, but it shouldn't bother people that much.

Of all the PowerStone rip-offs, this is one of the best.

This game has some really awesome special moves. Luffy freaking punches a guy through two pillars, then stretches his arm out and slams the guy into the floor, making a huge crater! Then, as the poor sucker bounces off the ground from the impact, Luffy stretches his leg out and kicks him into the sky. Then he sucks in a boatload of air, exhales and launches himself airborne, and throws a barrage of punches at the guy, breaking the ceiling of the arena and sending the guy into space!

Absurd, but awesome.

Blue Stinger for Dreamcast.

Love the characters, setting, gameplay -- everything. It's so fantastically crappy and cheesy that it really left a lasting impression on me. I dig it.

Resident Evil, on the other hand, can suck my nuts.

The Fighter�s History series.
This fighting game produced by Data East known for many people as " Street Fighter II Rip Off ".

Okay, more attacks of character this game ressembles the attacks the characters form Street Fighter, but this game had your merits:

- Weak Points: I never seem weak points in other fighting games. Only in Fighter�s History.

- Karnov�s presence: The Russian fighter had a game with his name avaliale for Arcade and NES
and makes a guest starring in the Dragon Ninja ( Arcade and NES ) as the boss in the 1st stage of this game.
and a cameo in the Street Hoops for Neo Geo.
Karnov is the final boss in the Fighter�s History and Fighter�s History Dynamite ( AKA Karnov�s Revenge ).

- Chelnov�s presence: The Karnov�s compatriot is the main character of Atomic Runner ( AKA Chelnov ) avaliale for Arcade and Mega Drive / Genesis.
Chelnov is the final boss in Fighter�s History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu for Super NES, released in Japan only.

List of Fighter�s History games:
- Fighter�s History ( Arcade and Super NES )
- Fighter�s History Dynamite / Karnov�s Revenge ( Neo Geo, Neo Geo CD and Sarurn )
- Fighter�s History Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu ( Super NES )

I�d like this Adventure Island too, specially for the second version of this game because the increment of this dinossaurs in this game.

In Japan, Hudson Soft release a compilation for this 4 games of this serie for Game Boy Advance.
This graphics is the same of the NES versions.

This game is very similar to Wonder Boy for Master System.
I had this Wonder Boy catridge for this console.

This is a thread to talk about those red-headed step children that everyone thinks are terrible, yet for some reason you are drawn to.

Mine is: Bram Stokers Dracula for the Sega CD
This game is great! You get a few basic actions, punch, kick (which is a funny little shin kick), jump, and the devistating jump kick. The game is pretty damn difficult and the collision detection can be frustrating at times, but kicking those spiders, books, etc is priceless. The game also has different paths you can take with the screen rotating poorly when you choose a side door which suprised the hell out of me when I did it on accident for the first time. Also, movie cut screens of Keanu Reeves show up from time to time...sweet. Unfortunately my only access to this game was through a friend who has moved away, time to invest in a sega cd and finally defeat dracula!

Eek..please move to classic gaming. thankyou

I've always been a fan of the hated Quattro 4-Sports game for the NES. The gameplay physics are so horrendous, it's hilarious. You can swing and hit the ball twice in the tennis game. Soccer players can score goals easily from the mid-field line as long as it's lined up.

The designers obviously had no idea how baseball works, because games last ten innings and there is no shortstop. Every pitch the computer throws is a strike down the middle of the plate and every hit ball curves wildly. It plays like a ridiculous mash-up of Baseball Simulator 1.000 and Baseball Stars.

Play Action Football for the Gameboy. 1-player mode. The computer is literally brain dead and plays on autopilot. The only thing stopping you from going for a 80-90 yard touchdown on every running or passing play is the fact that you don't have an unlimited speed burst and the computer defenders move a step or two faster than your guys. On defense, there is a 4-3 blitz that is 98% foolproof. Run that one defensive play all game long and watch the sacks and negative yardage against the computer pile up. That 4-3 blitz play is almost a guaranteed sack or a "stuff the running back for a 5 yard loss."

On offense, you can get away with doing the shotgun bomb on pretty much every play, assuming you choose a team with that in the playbook, and an occasional lead option running play just to mix it up. You can finish a game with the computer having -70 total yards and you having somewhere around 750-800 total yards, most of it passing, and 80-90 points. Too bad you can't keep track of total sacks, though. I'll bet I've sacked the CPU 20-25 times in a game.

I'm LOVING Astonishia Story. I know it got universal medicore reviews (and for good reason, because the game really does suck) but there's an incredible charm to it. Mostly in its old school execution but also with it's absolutely INSANE forth-wall breaking humor.

I won't spoil it, but just grab a copy and play till about the third hour mark. Look for the crazy Earthbound-style characters. Yeah, you heard me.

09-27-2007, 04:13 PM

I guess GunForce and Power Moves on SNES would be decent candidates. I don't think they're "bad" games, but I certainly don't call them "good" ones, either. They've been slammed a lot, but I enjoy them for what they are.

BydoEmpire

09-27-2007, 04:25 PM

There are many. Probably the worst game that I like the most is 10 Yard Fight. I played it all the time back in the day on my NES, and I recently popped it in just to see how it's held up and I still had fun!

I can't figure out why everyone rags on Altered Beast. I always thought it was a fun beat-em-up, and an impressive pack-in for the Genny.

Wow, I came into this thread specifically to state ALTERED BEAST as well.

The control is terrible, but damned if the choppy beating of zombies isn't so damned satisfying. But let's all be honest here...the game had us at "RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!"

blissfulnoise

09-27-2007, 05:06 PM

Genesis? DJ Boy, Ka-Ge-Ki, and Pit Fighter get a lot of hate (especially the last two) but I love them.

NES? Deadly Towers and Hydlide. Yeah, I like those games. Any game that features leveling up is alright by me, loneliness and weak swords not withstanding. And Hydlide's rogue-like gameplay is right up my alley.

Sega CD? Gotta be 3 Ninjas. It's actually a freaking awesome platformer. Props to Cadillacs and Dinosaurs for some great co-op play and Sewer Shark for being so damn rad.

But let's be fair, Bram Stoker's Dracula is awful; making those jumps on the second level are absolutely brutal.

Gyromite lame? Blaspheme!

I used to always play the game (without ROB of course) and enjoyed the hell out of it, the sleepwalking game was especially addicting. It's also a fun little two player game, purposely killing whoever was playing the scientist was always a trip.

I also enjoyed Hydlide, it wasn't nearly as bad as people said it was.

Krusty's Super Fun House and Eek the Cat are two games I used to love as a kid, but they weern't received very well by the general public.

Also, I liked Bart vs the Space Mutants.

See, I never got the whole speech impediment thing that gamers bring up regarding ALTERED BEAST. It sounds fine to me. In fact, it sounds pretty badass. Like Harvey Keitel in BAD LIEUTENANT badass. Adding this lisp in makes him sound like some sheepish Elmer Fudd. He's Zues for chrissake!

My comments on the control are not entirely accurate - it's been ages since I've played the BEAST on the Genesis. I tore it up lately on the SMS though, and while I admire the port, the controls are pretty muddy. And there's no sound sampling. What gives?

GiantPooka

09-27-2007, 06:43 PM

I second DJ Boy for the Mega Drive- it's sort of lame generally, and frustratingly hard, but has some undescribable charm. Must be the roller-skates.

Also, Street Fighter: The Movie, any version. If you just take it on its own, it's not really that bad, just not a great Street Fighter game. The voices also crack me up.

Tommy Lasorda Baseball (Genesis)

This game came out before sports games had real time statistics (1989/90...can't remember). I used a notebook to keep every possible stat for all the players on my teams (American League Milwaukee and National League Chicago). No one seems to remember this game, let alone like it.

I own it and love it. I think it was, and is, an excellent baseball game. It wasn't really unique in any noteworthy way, but it had really good graphics (for the time) and was just fun. Around that time I also thoroughly enjoyed Joe Montana Sports Talk Football, which I doubt many other people liked. The AI was retarded, but it was fun doing laps around the field indefinitely.

This game came out before sports games had real time statistics (1989/90...can't remember). I used a notebook to keep every possible stat for all the players on my teams (American League Milwaukee and National League Chicago). No one seems to remember this game, let alone like it.

I've acquired two copies of Lasorda this year, one of which I may need to sell. I've played it a few times over the past 4-5 weeks, it is still fun and the games go by lightning fast.

I kept a similar notebook for RBI Baseball 2 on the NES with their Oakland A's team.

I don't know of anyone who says the Lasorda game is bad, I'm sure they just never mention it because "it hasn't aged well" (a common criticism for some folks), it didn't have real players/teams and later games that came out were seen as "better." Yet I think it is a pretty good game, even today. No reason you can't reissue this one as a downloadable game, I'm figuring it hasn't been done already. No real players or teams you gotta worry about getting the "rights" for and I bet it'd be halfway fun playing this online with a few people around the US.

I also really liked all those ports of Ghostbusters. The SMS version is superior, but I've played all the way through the NES version as well. Question for the hardcores-is that a Micronics/Ponycanyon creation?

NES Tiger-Heli also floats my boat in all it's sucky goodness. It just has neat music.

Super Mario Bros 2 (NES)

That's a great game and one of my favorites. Do most people hate it?

Space Harrier II: Genesis

My guilty pleasure is Altered Beast for Sega Genesis

My friend received a Genesis for Christmas in 1989. Space Harrier II and Altered Beast impressed me back then. They're still pretty good.

People always say Altered Beast is too short. Yeah, so is Haunted House on the 2600 and you don't see people saying it sucks because of its length.

Comparing the length of an Atari 2600 game from 1982 to the length of a Sega Genesis game from 1989 is a bit silly.

That said, I guess I'd rather play Altered Beast than Haunted House.

"Pro Wrestling" for NES.

My friends and I had a lot of fun with Pro Wrestling. It was great. I don't remember anyone hating it.

NES Tiger-Heli also floats my boat in all it's sucky goodness. It just has neat music.

Tiger-Heli was pretty decent on the NES. I remember playing it for several hours one day and it just kept going. Did it ever end?

Altered Beast I wrote a review for at sega-16 and gave it a good review at that.

Final Fantasy VIII was good just had a steep curve on getting used to it.

Here are some of the games I like everyone else hates:

- Pokemon Crystal (GBC): Such a solid handheld RPG with surprizingly deep gameplay, but most everyone I know says it sucks because "It's just another Pokemon, it's nothing special".

- Super Princess Peach (DS): Everyone I know hates it because it stars Peach, but it's one of the DS's best platform games that doesn't have "Mario" in the title.

- Hover! (PC): Most didn't like it because of shallow gameplay and only 3 different stages, but I still love it (And what do you expect from a free game included on Windows 95's CD?). Holdin' out for a Xbox Live Arcade version...

The original Shenmue.

I admit that the game is very slow, the gameplay is sub-par, and the voice acting is horrid. For some reason though, I just get that nostalgic Sega feeling while playing it. I really love the atmosphere that the game gives off too. I think that Shenmue 2 is a huge improvement over the original, but the original will still always have a place in my heart. Whenever I think of the Dreamcast, the original Shenmue is one of the first games that comes to my mind.

Tiger-Heli was pretty decent on the NES. I remember playing it for several hours one day and it just kept going. Did it ever end?

Nope. Tiger-Heli is an infinite repeat. I never played the arcade version, so I don't know if it's any different in that respect.

Oh, and to whoever said Friday the 13th--that is a pretty imaginative game for a movie-based cash cow. They really tried to do something cool with it. Same thing with NES Jaws and Platoon. Two games that so many people talk trash about, but their actually pretty decent. Platoon kind of plays like it's broken at times, but it's got some great ideas and the music is quite...eerie.

Personally, I think Jaws just plain rocks. The concept is so retarded that it just works somehow and it ends up being quite fun--kind of complex, too. It took me a long time to figure out, but it's well worth playing all the way through. The last sequence is pretty nice to look at, too with all that parallax scrolling of the water. "Smile, you sonofabitch!"

09-30-2007, 06:49 PM

Just thought of another one: Peek-A-Boo Poker. It's awful. It's slow. It cheats. Despite this, me and my girlfriend played this piece of shit all weekend once. We were obsessed with getting the chicks to take their clothes off. When we finally won one, it was pretty anticlimactic. But it was fun, I won't deny that. It's probably just because the game itself was poker, but the promise of the nude-chick sequences definitely enhanced the experience.
