List some "fun/bad games"

[Sinistron]

Man I need to give ICFTD another shot- definitely when I have more time- cause it seemed like I "played" it for a half an hour and didn't actually do anything.  The "action" scene tried to kick in once- I had no clue what the f*ck was happening and then it slipped out of my hands in a split second- back to more talks with town lunatics.

Shadow of the Beast- that game is garbage.  All the work was poured into music and graphics/animation and the gameplay suffers from it.  Stiff and repetitive.

[Arkhan]

But the atmosphere and puzzley riddle like aspects are so fun!

Its not an action game!

Its not a puzzle game!

Its an actuzzle game!

[ParanoiaDragon]

Impossamole-I know it's trash on the gameplay aspect & people rip it to no end, but, I love it!

Tale Spin-This game really gets annoying, & is kind of bland, but, I still enjoy it

Strider-It's not the best version, but I still love it, & I think it's the only version I've ever beaten, plus has nice music & I love the extra level

Atomic Robo Kid-is cool

Keith Courage-what BT said

Super Air Zonk-it gets ripped on, & I agree as it's a bummer next to Air Zonk, & really, the game could've benefited from using Lords of Thunder's engine, anyways, I still enjoy the game

too tired to think of more

[Sinistron]

Atomic Robo Kid-is cool

How is this in any way a "bad" game?  This is a fun/great game.  Do people regularly knock this one?  I think it's perfect...

[Necromancer]

Agreed.  If the HuCard never existed, people wouldn't rag on this one anywhere near as much.  Sure, it's far from perfect, but it's nowhere near the bottom of the heap either.

It seems like I've heard in the past people rip on it, maybe I'm wrong

Shapeshifter-stupidly hard(for me anyways), not alot of music in it(8 tracks I think?), the controls could be better(probably one of the reasons for it's difficulty), but, I still enjoy the game, it's fun...though I had to use a cheat code AND save states to beat the damn game

Shadow of the Beast-maybe it's just the music that I love, though, I really find the game enjoyable as a whole, even though I know it could be better

Andre Panza-I don't really play it so much anymore, but, I deffinitly enjoyed it, & I think people tend to rip on it

Ballistix-deff. no the best game, but, I still like it

Ane-san-Fun game though kind of difficult, never have beaten it

Bonanza Bros.-I've heard people rip on this game in general(no matter what system it's on), but, I love it!

Bravoman-always have enjoyed it, but it IS too long, I love the music, not to mention the voice acting

China Warrior-it's nothing but a glorified demo, but, I love this game, it's classic to me!

Vigilante-one of the first games I got for the Turbo way back when, I'm sure I'm biased, although, I also had Splatterhouse as the time, & I don't care for that game

Cosmic Fantasy 2-I've heard plenty of people rip on it(maybe just non-Turbo people), but, I love this game, it's the first real RPG I ever played, bought it for the cinemas on the day it was released!  I had no idea what I was getting into, but, I saw EGM previewing it, & was totally pumped for it

Cyber Core-underated

Dead Moon-ditto

Dragon Egg-just a really fun simple game to play, & it's got some paralax!!

DS: Legend of Heroes-deffinitly one of my favorite game ever, love the voice acting

Final Zone 2-not too shabby

Forgotten Worlds-great music, wonderful gfx

JB Harold-not sure what to say, but, when I picked it up on clearance at TRU, I was happy with my purchase!

John Madden-one of the few sports game I actually enjoy!

Last Alert(& Bloody Wolf)-both don't get enough praise, I love them both for different reasons

Legend of Xanadu 2-not that anyone rips on it, but, it's one of the best damn games on the Turbo....or any system for that matter

Loom-yeah, it's slow, the gfx stink, etc. but, I've beaten it numerous times including on hard, my first point & click game I think

Lords of the Rising Sun-doesn't get enough praise, I love that game, it's just plain fun, one of my friends back in the day was so obsessed with it, that he kept playing it thru the night & into the morning, partially because I was out of save space!

Magicoal-doesn't get enough press, I haven't beaten it yet, but, I do enjoy it

Psychic Storm-one of the funnest shmups, especialy with 2 players

Riot Zone-kinda boring but still fun, great music, wish it was 2 players

Shockman/Shubibinman 2-fun game, awesome music, but too hard

Splash Lake-just pure fun

Terraforming-seems to have a bad rap, I think it's cool if not a bit bland at points

Tatsunoku Fighter-is cool

Takeda Shingen-it sucks, but, there's something strangly appealing about it

Tiger Road-leaps & bounds better then the arcade version

TV Sports Hockey-all the TV Sports games have a bad rap, but this one I truly love

Valis 2-first cd game for me, I can remember the day like it was yesterday, went to Arbie's with my parents for lunch after doing some door 2 door, then went to Babbage's to get me a Turbo cd & a game, had enough for a $30 game, it was this or Last Alert, I chose Valis 2, & it made me happy

Veigues-great game

[Arkhan]

Last Alert is a game I really don't see why it gets made fun of.

The gameplay is solid, and the only real let down is the corny voice acting... but what voice acting was good back then?

I can't believe it, but I'm going to have to say Falcon. It's by no means a stellar game, but does have some playability as a basic flight simulator. I remember getting into the missions and you really have to fight to get enemies locked in your sites, not to mention bombing the targets at the same time. A lot of this game is picking the right bombs/fuel/missiles before each mission.

Victory Run is another one. Has a nice challenge factor without making you want to throw your turbo controller through your last remaining CRT screen. 

Xevious, of course. 

[Sinistron]

Xevious, of course. 

Is ceti coming out saying that Xevious is a "bad" game???

[ceti alpha]

Xevious, of course. 

Is ceti coming out saying that Xevious is a "bad" game???

haha. Well, not really. I just know that a lot of people here think it's a bad game, so I'm just compromising for the sake of this thread. 

[Necromancer]

Ballistix-deff. no the best game, but, I still like it

"Let the game commence!"

Have you beaten this one?  I tried beating it a few dozen times, then gave up after realizing it had so frickin' many levels (200 if memory serves), and decided to shoot for the ending using M.E. and save states.  I got about two-thirds of the way through, got distracted by something shiny, and haven't got back up on the horse yet, though I really want to see the ending of this looooong game.

[Black Tiger]

Atomic Robo Kid-is cool

How is this in any way a "bad" game?  This is a fun/great game.  Do people regularly knock this one?  I think it's perfect...

They do. Most of the comments about this game here over the years have been negative.

Shapeshifter-stupidly hard(for me anyways), not alot of music in it(8 tracks I think?), the controls could be better(probably one of the reasons for it's difficulty), but, I still enjoy the game, it's fun...though I had to use a cheat code AND save states to beat the damn game

People here seem to either love it or hate it.

Cosmic Fantasy 2-I've heard plenty of people rip on it(maybe just non-Turbo people), but, I love this game, it's the first real RPG I ever played, bought it for the cinemas on the day it was released!  I had no idea what I was getting into, but, I saw EGM previewing it, & was totally pumped for it

CF2 is heavily flawed and I totally understand anyone saying that it's technically not a great RPG/game. But it's still an enjoyable experience overall. As I said earlier, it's hard for me not to enjoy a traditional RPG.

Not even close.  It's one of many a game on my long long list of games that I have yet to play thru.  I'll probably be 90 & still ain't played thru it

I never would have thought that Valis II would be on this list. Granted I haven't played it yet but everyone has recommended to me like it's a stellar game. I have Valis III for my Sega Genesis and it's pretty good so Valis II shouldn't be too bad, right? Right? Either way though I am buying it anyway

It's definitely the worst out of the bunch, but it's still a Valis game. So if you like the Valis series, you'll like Valis II. The music is also amazing.
