Polls (not really) from hell - Worst Backgrounds

[spenoza]

OK peeps. What are the games with the WORST backgrounds? I'm not talking about solid black (lazy, but not bad). I'm talking about downright ugly. Bad colors, horrible art, what are the worst ever on the TG/PCE?

GENPEI TOURMADEN

WORST. GAME. EVER.

[sunteam_paul]

Any cute RPG with really basic, simple overhead graphics.

I think I'm going to have to agree with nat, thats the only one I can think of right now.

[Black Tiger]

Probably Jack Nicklauses.

See, Gunpei Toumaden does have some cool backgrounds and nice graphics once you get to the side-scrolling levels that go like the sequel's levels do. But yes, it has some crap, also.

  I haven't played past the first level

[awack]

I haven't actually played this game but from the screenshots i have seen of Baby jo, it looks like crap.

It's mostly crap. The "large sprite" areas are the only halfway decent-looking parts. But the bad in that game is surely worse than any other Turbo game ever made.

Have you tried either of the Jack Nicklaus games?


I still haven't thought through which Turbo/PCE bgs I dislike or feel are "bad", but one off the top of my head is Loom. Its the bizzaro world equivalent of Beyond Shadowgate which was mentioned in the best bg thread.

I actually enjoyed Jack Nicklaus Golf but the backgrounds (if you can call the "3D" view a background) were plain ugly, and they took ages to render just to really piss you off it seemed. Some ugly shades of green, maroon, and grey. Despite all that the game could be fun with a few friends

[nat]

It wouldn't be a golf game without lengthy rendering sessions!

[Keranu]

Haha, I think I agree with nat about Genpei having the worst backgrounds. Jack Nicklaus also popped straight into my head as soon as I read this thread as well. I at least appreciate the fact that Jack Nicklaus was trying to look 3D or something, even if it does look just plain ugly, but man Genpei is just pathetic laziness!
