Ninja warriors and Golden Axe get a lot of flack, though I've never played any one of these on the PCE...  (they do look pretty bad on youtube, though)

Strider definitely has some issues, but the red-book audio alone almost makes up for its shortcomings.

Golden Axe.

Yeah that was horrible too. Only 1 player.

I'd Argue the CD version of Altered Beast as well due to the fact that you have to have a 1.0 card to play it :|

Shinobi due to the missing levels, though it is still great fun to play and the only true-to-arcade conversion that appeared on any of the consoles that I know of.

Strider - Yeah, just a bad port all around.  Good music, yes.

Golden Axe.

Strider was a disapointment to me but it's still an OK conversion.

Ninja Warriors is not so bad either. I just feel that the original game is not that good neither.

Games that suck in general but not limited to just the PCE port: Klax, Pac-Land, Ballistix, Altered Beast (difficulty level and mid-level loads make the PCE version suck a tad more than others), and Falcon.

Games that are suckier on PCE:
Golden Axe - ugly + one-player only = fail
Riot Zone - it's an OK game on its own, but lack of two-player mode sucks hard in comparison to the arcade.
Impossamole - hit detection sucks, but maybe it sucks in other versions too (I've never played 'em).
Fighting Street - controls?!?  I don't need no steenkeen controls!

P.S. - That Turbob clone of Berzerk is ass.  Whoever made that shit pile deserves to have an angry ocelot shoved down their pants.  :P

Is that a new MGS character? Angry Ocelot?

I thought After Burner II sucked even though a lot of people seem to like it.

Golden Axe is the obvious one.

I would also add Rastan Saga 2 but I suspect the arcade version was also as enjoyable as constipation.

Riot Zone was a port? I thought that was a TG/PCE exclusive rip-off of Final Fight.

Oh and Fighting Street! The game ported so terribly they had to change the name! lol

Capcom - "no this port is so terrible, you can't call it Street Fighter"

Ok, where did the name Crest of the Wolf come from? Was that the original name in JP and in U.S. we got Riot Zone / City?
