Worst US TG16 game

[nodtveidt]

I honestly think that the big disappointment with Darkwing Duck is that it ended up being so mediocre after being delayed a thousand times.

I must be missing something because I keep hearing how much fun Ducktales is, but I just can't get into it.  Maybe there's a big nostalgic factor that I'm not taking into account.  (I remember the cartoon fondly - I must have been in middle school/early high school when it aired.)

Good level design, great control, great music. The game is a little on the short side but it's a lot of fun.

Just on a side note the NES Darkwing Duck is a lot like Mega Man which is why it's such a good game.

The PCE Darkwing Duck is a lot like teabagging a bugzapper, in that it sucks and makes you hate your life.

haha... nice topic.. this makes me want to get falcon

Oh HELL NO, there's been a mistake: Timeball ain't supposed to be on that list!

I don't use "ain't" lightly...

Hell no. Timeball is a totally solid puzzle game that holds up well, 20-30 years later. Sure, it's no-frills presentation needs a face-lift to intrigue contemporary audiences, but the core game is motgerfickin' SWEET.

I must be the only one that likes Ballistix.  Granted I first played it on the Amiga.  A reason so many other games have yet to get votes is probably because others have played Falcon.  

Please, please elaborate. . I'm not joking, or trying to be malicious. I just want to hear someone advocate its "redeeming" qualities. There are only a handful of games that I don't appreciate on some level—so you have a sympathetic ear.

Anyone else can jump in, too. Please focus on the game proper, because the title screen and Psygnosis-beast-as-mascot are the only things I like at present. I am willing to open my mind.


NOTE: I am so glad Rastan Saga II didn't make the list

ALSO NOTE: I can't decide between Falcon and Ballistix. I actually have more fun spending 4 minutes with Falcon than 45 seconds of Ballistix.

I dont know how the hell keith courage is not on this list.  I actually sucked it up and played through Darkwing Duck and liked it!! Keith courage on the other hand makes me wanna smash my nuts with a claw hammer.  A shame to cause i actually like the audio alot in KC.

I will smash your nuts with a hammer for you.

No one disses Keith.

I was playing Keith Courage just this morning.  There's no way it should be considered among the worst of the system. 

Repetitive?  Sure.  But I remember the first time I played it, I was completely blown away at how colorful the graphics were, how fast things moved, and the the awesome soundtrack!  If you played this back in the day, Keith Courage looked and sounded light years above any NES or SMS game.

Sure there are more fun games for the system, but this game, imo, put the competition to shame back in the day.

If Davis Cup Tennis were on the list, I'd probably vote for that.  I haven't really played any of the other games on the list, except for China Warrior and I don't think it deserves to be on that list.  I've tried a few times to get into Davis Cup Tennis and  it's just not very good.  I hear the other tennis game for the TG16 is better so I'll have to hunt it down one of these days.

Turrican? Really? Turrican on the Turbografx 16 is awesome. It also is the port that is closest to the original game. I guess it doesn't matter that at the time that Turrican released for the C64, it was easily one of the biggest selling games on it. I know that may sound like not a huge deal, but when you look at how many Commodores sold back in the day, you may see my point then. The Genesis and SNES versions were dumbed down so people would like the game better. Really sad when you look at it.

[PunkicCyborg]

I like timeball! It's pretty freakin cool

[SMF]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Magical Chase. ONLY because its a decent shooter but for the price it goes for is a completely terrible game.

For a $50 shooter its fun but not nowhere near what its worth.

[Windy]

Falcon is really sad. Darkwing Duck made me just angry. I did give Falcon the Vote. But there is something to be said about a game that just brings out the anger

[HercTNT]

Yeesh remind me to forget my clawhammer when i browse this forum Magical chase is an outstanding game.

[snickersbar]

i voted for Darkwing Duck it could of been a really great game
