Could this be the worst game on the US Turbo?

[vestcoat]

So basically you're solely responsible for the failure of the TurboGrafx-16.  Is that what you're saying?  Ban request!

ok, i just played GunBoat and that was pretty bad.

Having recently played through Darkwing Duck I can't imagine anything worse.

Night Creatures and Darkwing are crusty mustard play control-wise, but at least they're unique, they're games, and it's possible to get into them (of course, I think Hydlide and Deep Blue are decent games).  I will agree that Night Creatures is the worst side-scrolling action game on the Turbo.

Bad games are:

Super Volleyball - controls are almost unplayable, one screen, almost no music.
Timeball - copyright 1983.
Falcon - it seems like Spectrum really set out to make an honest flight sim and I like how they took advantage of all the peripherals (TurboLink, backup RAM, included a TurboStick diagram in the manual), but this game sucks.

On other systems, I think Beast Wars N64 is the worst game I've ever played.

TTi should have titled it Legendary Axe III

No way, you did not just say "crusty mustard" to describe poor controls! I thought I was the first person to invent that word usage!

You are.  I got it from you!

Then don't play the N64 Superman.

No kidding. Other really horrible games: Fantastic 4 for PS. Also, Cosmic Race (PS). The Playstation has a lot of shitsoft, bit these two are the worst that I can remember.

The PSone has a shocking amount of absolute garbage, games you can't stand to play, look at or anything else. Bubsy 3D is a good example.

Yeah I remember that game, talk about the death of a franchise.

In general I think a lot of PS1 games haven't aged well. It came out during an awkward traditional phase when things were moving from 2D to 3D and I don't think the technology was completely there. Most of my favorite PS1 and Saturn games are traditional hand drawn 2D or hybrid.

The PS has some really really good games, but almost none of them are the cutting edge million seller stuff that made the machine so popular in it's era.

Sure it does, but it has almost as high of a percentage of shovelware as the Wii.

I love the Wii, but I'm pretty sure that isn't true. The software selection on Wii is terrible. The PS was popular enough that it got a lot cool shit by accident. Stuff like Rakugaki Showtime and Parrapa the Rapper, a lot of 2D stuff in the form of "collections". The Wii has a distinct lack of "middle of the road" stuff. Aside from the Wiiware stuff there is almost none of it, in fact. They have a dozen or so great games, and about 300 carnival minigame collections, yoga simulators, etc. It's terrible.

 Falcon and Gunboat. At least DW or NC will possibly/randomly make a wild hair grow out you arse to attempt to get you to play and even beat them. I cannot, for the life of me, say the same for Falcon and Gunboat. And I've tried.
