I actually bought Battlecruiser 3000AD when it came out. As anyone that has played the original release of it knows, it was literally an unplayable mess. After A LOT of patching (...and then being released for free a year or two later) it really came together, but holy fucking sheepshit was that a colossal clusterfuck of previously unattained proportions.

Sin, Blood 2, and Daikatana were also buggy messes when they rolled out. Sin got patched up quite a bit and became rather playable, but Blood 2 and Daikatana never really got fixed enough and require some serious voodoo magic to get running stable enough to play through. Sadly, neither one is worth playing through in single player (though Daikatana really shined in co op).

Finally, insert comedy Daggerfall option. I've never had the game run stable. Ever. I guess it's supposed to be not-so-bad in DOSbox, so I'll have to run it via that sometime, but I've had the game since it came out and it's always been a crashtastic pile of shit (which makes me sad, because I really want to play through it sometime)

Sounds like their Battlecruiser 3000AD review!
