I'd say Spriggan and Dangerous Journeys because they were promised, but never delivered.  That sucks the most.

Good logic (add King of the Monsters to that list), but what's Dangerous Journeys?

*edit*

Oh yeah, that's the D&D game.  Too bad on that one getting the axe.

I took the time to give falcon a fair chance and actually got somewhere with it. 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Gunboat? I have it, tried it... Hate it!

Oh sorry rove, you must not have read the thread title.  This is for worst Turbografx games.  Any other version of turrican is fun and actually playable.
Of course I read it. :P I rock the TG Turrican hardcore. I'll vidcap it someday. :)

Falcon all the way.  #1 worst game on the TG16.

Gunboat at least has some vibrant colors and it's possible to (sort of) figure out the control scheme.

Timeball gets off the hook because it was programmed in 1983 and some puzzle lovers tolerate it.

Ballistix doesn't require any manual reading and it's fifteen minutes of mindless fun for 1 or 2 players before boredom sets in.  I imagine it's like Hungry Hungry Hippos, except I've never played Hungry Hungry Hippos.   :-k

All of the other games are mediocre to average platformers with the exception of Ghost Manor, which is GOOD if you're not a pussy.

I voted Tale spin, other than Gunboat I don't have any of the others.  Tale Spins just bad I'm sure other are complete shit. I hope someone votes China Warrior so Arkhan flips shit on them  :) .

As were Rayxamber III, Far East of Eden 2 and Cosmic Fantasy 3.

Also gotta love that Psygnosis title screen/music.  It's like a little baby Shadow of the Beast on Turbochip!
