I have no desire to play Falcon, but it would be a boring review. There isn't much to say: you either like combat sim or you don't.
I think Gunboat has a lot more going for it than Falcon, but most folks don't even know the control scheme (a fellow member explained the controls in a wonderful thread here a few years ago, it really made me realize that I had unfairly judged the game). Still, Gunboat would be rather boring to review.
Deep Blue is definitely a contender, but, again, there isn't much to show/say about the game. But, because it has more "action" than sims like Funboat/Falconfun, it might actually be more entertaining. At least you could make lots of jokes about sea creatures.
I think Ballistix is a crappy game, but I think it would make a boring video...
The problem with Falcon, Deep Blue, etc. is that they lack a personality.
At least with Bravoman and Impossamole (I actually prefer Impossamole, I beat the game many times and it is not nearly as Boeing as Bravoman, IMHO), there is something to say about stage design, characters, story, etc. in addition to the usual technical complaints such as poor controls, poor collision detection, etc.
Somebody suggested Yo Bro...that could be a good one, it has personality/content/pop cultural references (Beach Boys, Little Shop of Horrors, etc)
I don't think Darkwing Duck is the worst game on the platform by any means. I would say that it's probably the worst
playable game that's not just such utter garbage that it couldn't possibly make for an interesting video about how it's bad. For a game to work on this show it has to have enough to make it interesting to talk about for several minutes. This video was 13 minutes long and of that, he's only playing the game for about half the time. With most of the "bad" games on the system there just isn't much to say. Darkwing Duck at least has enough varied locations, enemies, and platforming that it can stretch out a few minutes. Ballistix though, what is there to say about that after comparing the cover art to Judas Priest?
Even though I don't dislike it nearly so much as the internet seems to, I think Mike could make a pretty good video out of Kieth Courage. There are enough blind jumps, wonky hitboxes, annoying birds, slow walking, and required memorization of boss patterns that he could show the game being frustrating. Meanwhile it's already got the ire of everyone who knows next to nothing about Turbo stuff. More than once I've talked about Turbo stuff with random dudes and pretty much heard "Oh man, they included the worst pack in title ever. Too bad they didn't go with Bonk which was great" naming the only two games on the platform they've ever heard of aside from Rondo of Blood. They might even throw in the fact that it's not even really 16 bit (and hopefully inform me that it's got TWO 8 bit processors!). ...but I digress.
Perhaps an episode on China Warrior, but is there enough to say on the subject or would it be too brief like Ballistix? Maybe an episode on the TV Sports games...? Though I think it's a pretty good game, maybe an episode on Order of the Griffon could be funny, who knows.
