The first game that came into my mind when I thought of bad Genesis games was Dark Castle. I remember looking at the box and thinking to myself, this looks like it could be a fun adventure game.
Well, I was wrong!

Quoted for truth. There was also a Famicom game, Hydlide 3, which was better than the first, but also very flawed.Originally Posted by ManekiNeko

Having played under 100 games on the system, most of them the "classics", I can only name a few bad games on the Genesis.
-Cybercop
-the first Hardball game (hitting is way too hard but the sequels were a little easier)
-NFL 95 (very weak compared to the other Sega football games and they even cut things that appeared in earlier versions)
With a name like Hydlide, you can't expect much. No offense, but from what I saw on YouTube, I'm glad I missed this one.
Gimmie a game, I'll either love it, or pimp-smack it.
Rock n' roll Racing
Whip Rush
Sword of Sodan
All of the Valis ports outside the Turbo are bad to me, or it could be that Valis isn't that good in the first place.
Beavis and Butt-head
For some reason I think that genesis has the better version of Battletoads and Double Dragon.

I didn't see X-Perts mentioned. No list of the crappiest Genesis games is complete without X-Perts.
The game came out at the abrupt end of the Genesis's lifespan when Sega of Japan in their infinite wisdom killed the console. It was based on Eternal Champions, which was cool, but was a franchise Sega of Japan was dead set on killing because they were obsessed with Virtua Fighter (which wasn't as popular in the US). The idea was that you played Shadow and infiltrated an enemy secret base. It also was to use pre-rendered sprites, ala Donkey Kong Country, for an improved graphical look.
However, the game that was released seems like it was completely unfinished. There's basically just one level, and the main game activity is standing at interface consoles and waiting for your character to finish what they're doing so you can move on to the next interface console. The animation is choppy and things just reek of incompleteness. It really seems like the game reached the point where the very basic structure of the game could be demoed and the higher ups suddenly said "Ship it!"
I saw this game in a store for $80. I almost grabbed it, but I decided I had better rent it first. I'm glad I did. I've seldom played such a turd.
No WarpSpeed? That one is pretty bad. Then there's Art Alive, which, while not a game, sucks at what it tries to be.

dark castle was THE worst megadrive game I agree, Aquatic games, Namco baseball Crystal's pony tale, barney's hide and seek and fantasia are also among the few bad games for the system, but there are too many to mention as far as bad games are concerned
X-Men was a great game...one of my favorites on the genesis. Sure the reset thing is retarded, but it's like saying MGS is bad because you have to switch controller ports.
For me, growing up as a (S)NES person, I recently purchased a Nomad/Genesis auction, and I'm loving it. The Genesis came out before the SNES, and clearly was weaker when it comes to graphics and sound. But does that matter? If we cared about the "best" graphics/gaming technology, wouldn't we all be playing the latest Halo clone or Call of WWII: Kill even more Nazis!
There are some fantastic games on the system, and they really don't get much press anymore. Not too many people collect for it, so the burden on your wallet is far less. Prices are higher for Nintendo stuff b/c there is greater demand for it; they won the console wars of yesteryear and are again regaining a stranglehold.
Exactly. I love the game. It combines Lunar Lander with side-scrolling shooting action. That I found a stack factory sealed copies of it last week makes it even cooler. Nothing like tearing into a brand new, yet 13 year old, game.
I own 661 Sega Genesis games so I'll give you my list of bad Genesis games.

Revival of this thread once again...
Someone listed "Last Battle" as a horrible game.
Nonsense! This is one of my absolute favorite titles. One of the best titles for the system imho.
Now, Gadget Twins....this is a game that just makes me utterly sick.
Well I've got a few of my own I can't stand on the Mega Drive...
Shiten Myo (Shadow Blasters)
---GOD this game not only plays like crap, but
my actual turds look better than what it's trying
to pass off as graphics. It's basically a sub par
NES/Famicom game with watered down 8-Bit looking
graphics on a 16-Bit cart. Horrible, Horrible side
scrolling adventure game.
RED ZONE
---I thought what the developers tried to pull
off was admirable, but the game was just horrid
to play, especially those overhead 3-D parts flying
around in a AH-64 Apache gunship.
Techno Cop
---Piss poor side scrolling RGS meets Adventure
game [yes I know it was already mentioned, but
it's a crappy game!]. OUTLANDER ended up being
what Techno Cop wanted to be, and even that
title had it's issues.
Do Sega CD 32X games count?
Today, I played Night Trap for the Sega CD 32X. It was... not fun.
The video quality wasn't pleasant. I would have expected better for a two-disc game with the power of the Genesis, Sega CD, and Sega 32X backing it.
Wow, I haven't played Last Battle in over sixteen years. The graphics were pretty good in 1989, but the game was pretty bad. It was funny how the enemies would fly up into the sky when punched or kicked.
I remember watching my friend play Shining in the Darkness for hours and being thoroughly bored. It was just a bunch of pseudo-3D mazes, right?
Yup. It's a decent game just there are so many better games of its genre available, especially on PC.

Last Battle is pretty terrible. I didn't last more than 20 minutes it was that bad.

I'm throwing in Combat Cars. Sometimes this top down combat racer can move a little too fast for its own good, which can make it tough to tell where you're going. Also, the controls aren't that great, and the multiplayer is almost a joke.
