If you need a cheat code to beat Turrican, then just throw in the towel. :)

I need the cheat code to enjoy that game. Well, I guess I should say that I "needed" it to enjoy the game. I haven't played it in about 15 years.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

Something tells me that I may enjoy Ghost Manor for some reason. It kinda reminds me of Monster Party and I enjoyed that turd too.

Ghost Manor is so far removed from a "turd" it's not even funny. A shame the OP thought it awful enough to include with the "worst" of the console.

Falcon gets my vote as a big, unplayable heap of shit. Talespin and Turrican aren't far behind.

Well, I am going to track down a copy of Ghost Manor then. :)

What? No Impossimole? I found that game pretty impossible to stomach.

Impossamole is pretty bad. I am surprised to not see it on the list.

That was at someones suggestion when gathering names initially.

Falcon got my vote.  It's a heaping steamy pile of smelly ass!

Ghost Manor is a Wizards & Warriors style game.

Anyone considering it as possibly the worst either hasn't really played it or hasn't played most of the less-good Turbo games.

Initially when compiling names for the list I asked a few people which TurboGrafx games they hated, Ghost Manor came up and wound up on the poll. It has 0 votes as of right now. So clearly it's far from the worst. I'm surprised no one went with Darkwing Duck as a lot of people complained about it as well.

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.  :lol:

I'm surprised by how many people seem to like Ghost Manor. I played it back in the day, and then bought it again recently. I remembered disliking it, but because of the Duomazov review, I decided to take another serious crack at it. I spent an entire afternoon fumbling with the game, climbing up levels, only to get knocked back down by some shit-ass enemy. It was like playing Chutes n' Ladders into infinity.

It's not the worst game on the Turbo (sadly), but IMO it's far from even being a "good" game. It's a shame, too, because I love the art style and the music. Ghost Manor and Night Creatures both fall into the same category for me: games with really nice presentation whose gameplay is dogshit. This is all just my personal opinion. If you like the game, I don't mean to offend.

And...let the flaming begin! ;)

I totally agree with you on Night Creatures, the gameplay is practically unbearable for me.  It could have been a lot better.

I only played 4 games on the list.  My vote goes to Night Creatures since that is the "worst" US Turbo Grafx game that I've played so far.

I'm not sure that anyone said that they "like" it. My intepretation was that they felt Ghost Manor simply isn't as terrible as others.

I think that one was made in Europe.
