Rubbish games which you loved!

...[Mega Man 3 for MS-DOS]...

What are you talking about? I remember that game being awesome. Although I have horrible taste in video games.

If you're not confusing Mega Man 3 for MS-DOS with Mega Man 3 for the NES (they're completely unrelated games), then yes, assuredly, your taste in video games is dreadful.

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how ridiculous But that was such a long time ago. I remember playing that on my dad's old computer, I don't know how many years ago. Yay, nostalgia.

^ I'm kidding, really. I don't think they're outright dire, just not as good as the others. :lol: More importantly, I don't think it's actually any reflection on your taste in games. (In fact, I must applaud you for knowing of that one. It's pretty obscure!)

A rubbish game i loved an will play again now this threads reminded me of is Libero grande soccer (think thats the correct spelling, could be grande libero soccer though?) its a psx soccer game that never took off in the uk. But i loved as a goalkeeper myself that you could play as a goalkeeper, even compared to the new pro evo and fifa the goalkeeper controles on the 1998 psx game still destroy the next gen games for keeper simulation, awsome controls ausing x square triangle and O all for different types of dives catches and parrys and relied heavily on positioning and reaction time. compared to the rubbish just press x and direction for everything the newer footy games are using. seems like they have taken a massive step back in this respect. However libero grande as an actual outfield football game sucked, with really choppy running actions which only really went forwrds backwards or side to side no diagonal directions and really un-agile turning, which appeared to kill it in the game market trying to compete with fifa 99 which is still considered the best fifa games made.

You seem to love grave-digging...maybe you like Zombie games.


Anyway, a rubbish game that I really loved and still do love was/is Evergrace on PS2.


I played the Japanese version from start to end and loved every second of it.

I'll go again; Slob Zone 3D on the PC, it was for kids and it was fundamentally terrible, but I ground it out until the end and loved it.

 

[Prometheus]

Ok, I'll go again, too. Though the game is terrible, I really like the music, and the cornily-endearing cast of characters (ok, except for the low-rent Captain N rip-off, the Action Gamemaster, but he doesn't really count, anyway, since he only seems to exist as a mascot for the Acton 52 cartridge who they shoehorned into the first game) from The Cheetahmen.

Except in the sequel, but I gather that the opening theme was allegedly pinched from somewhere else.

Another one I absolutely love is the Virtua Striker series (Arcade, SS, DC, GC), which I seriously don't know anyone who actually loves it as much as I do (still plays it and is actually really good at it).

I was one of those who's parents were not financially fortunate, so I did my best to enjoy anything I was given. One of those was a game that helped bring down the industry. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial for the Atari 2600. Of course there was no internet. I was not privy to gaming magazines nor did I ever hear from someone else or via TV that the game was such a disaster. Instead I had a new game for my Atari and proceeded to see what I was to do. While the controls were not the best, I thought it gave the rather simplistic style game a bit more of a challenge.


I proceeded to learn how to keep E.T. Alive while avoiding the doctor and FBI agent. I must say I was rather satisfied when I was able to summon the mother ship and save E.T.. The main problem then was one that was quite common with many Atari titles, replay value. Which in this day and age it would be considered finished and pointless to keep playing. However in those days, just about every game on the system had only so much you could do then you just kept doing it as long as you can. (like the many nights I would sit for hours playing Missile command) man I miss that kind of game play.


So I can honestly say I enjoyed one of the most hated games in video game history! I wonder if I would have felt differently if I had known it was so bad before playing it? I think I would have been. In this case Ignorance was bliss and I was actually impressed by the "complexity" of the game, instead of just one screen of repetitive material like the equally hated and really poorly made Pacman.

The Simpsons Wrestling on the PS1, it is surprisingly fun.

Super Mario: The lost levels.


It's like playing a shitty hack of the first Mario, most of the game is just about how hard they can make it without any real 'polish'.


Yet I still play it, it's still stupidly hard, I still die in absolutely unfair situations.
