/vr/ - Retro Games

This one looks cool on the surface and I'm all about the art style, 60fps game play, fun characters with unique skills but man the game is genuinely awful. The cracks show early on but the realization that it's stupidly shallow makes the entire game a joke.

>>8167548
Still a better party-fighter than say, Super Trash Bros, though.

This was one of the games that always sprung to my mind as one of the worst I ever played, until I played The Division but that isn't retro

>>8167578
I'm no fan of smash, but no. Rakugaki Showtime is genuinely awful, a 3/10.

This was pretty bad, although it had potential. Even comes close to being okay but just doesn't get there.

>Janky physics and sub-30 FPS gameplay
>Ham-fisted environmentalist message
>Scrungy messy graphics with a foreground that blocks your view
>Bottom-rung GEMS "music" and obnoxious sound effects

Shit makes Bubsy look like a premium product.

Bebe's Kids on the SNES is a complete mess of a game.

An easy way is to check if the box says "ZX Spectrum" on it.

>>8167682
Same dev also made that terrible Beavis & Butthead game on the Genesis.

>>8167704
Stay forever buttmad, Treasurefag.

C’mon , you guys can do better than that.

>>8167551
Played this. Genuinely one of the worst things I’ve ever played in my life

>>8167704
You could’ve waited any other day. You had to do it on Sir Cliffy’s death day you bastard

Action 52 (NES), might be cheating though since it really wasn't even finished.

>>8167540
Any Sonic game.

>>8167540
there's a few i can recall off hand that i ended up coming across as a kid, that were just such bad games they even surprised me with how bad they were as a child

lester the unlikely and ultraman really stand out in my memory

>>8167652
It's probably the least-subtle of all the Sonic wannabes as well.

This game is absolute shit and I refuse to believe that it's possible to finish it without cheating.

>>8167843
aw come on it's an early Famicom title from 85 before they even had mappers

>>8167812
Socket is way less subtle.

>>8167616
Grew up with the PC version as a kid so I have fond memories but it's an odd duck for sure.

>>8167540
Pic related is usually what comes to mind.

>>8167718
How do you make a game out of Wayne’s World?

>>8167995
They made Wayne go into an arcade game that they mention in a line of dialogue from the movie where he has to go and save Garth from a giant purple cube, crammed full of bit crushed audio clips from the movie

>>8167725
It's amazing how many things they messed up. Graphics that look at best one step above a first generation release despite coming out after SMB3, lack of invincibility after getting injured resulting in very basic enemies being able to kill you in an instant, awkward basic attack, bizarre item hunting mechanic that just makes you randomly jump around with zero logic (which is fine for special bonuses, but making you jump around like an idiot just to find keys to move forward is silly and more of a waste of time than presenting any real difficulty), and uninteresting level design. About the only saving grace is that some of the music isn't too terrible, namely the ending song which is actually quite nice.

Nice tune. I gave up a level or two from the end cause I kept getting assraped by ants so never got to hear it

In before half-life

Also picrel

I really love kusoge guys

>>8168176
Same anon. Same

It's a mess...and they made sequels. No idea how the company survived the first one.

>>8168387
Absolutely howling at the explosion sfx

>Combat Echizen
The main character is its own meme in Japanese retro gaming circles

>>8168387
"Mr. Sawada, I think we should wait for that dev kit documentation. I have no idea what I'm doing here."
"Nah, it'll be fine."

>>8167706
that b&b game on genesis is by far their best game and is pretty decent

WWF King of the Ring on Game Boy

I haven't played the NES version, but maybe that, too.

Taz-mania for genesis, fucking terrible

>>8167718
I got the NES version when I was 8 when I could have gotten Mega Man 3 instead. Marketing is cruel.

this game makes sonic jam 6 look like sonic 3 and knuckles

>>8167540
Famicom Kamen Rider games. Gekitotsu Shocker Land is my personal favorite because of how awfully it represents the franchise, but Black on FDS is just shit cake with cherry on top.

Also Hokuto no Ken. It's fucked up everything it could. Especially door entering mechanic.

>>8167986
Heavy Nova sucks ass. Ive played it the controls are dogshit.

>>8168387
does it support the light gun? I'm willing to give it a try if so.

Genki Bakuhatsu Ganbaruger for the Gameboy

The thing borders on being the handheld version of Cheetahmen 2.
>piss poor graphics
>can be completed in under six minutes by simply jumpkicking everything "Rise of the Robots"-style
>five stages, one of them is just a single battle
>next to no obstacles whatsoever during the stages
>the robots don't even have the proper attacks from the show and Revoluger and Gekiryuger are vastly superior to the titular Ganbaruger
>got 13 points in Famitsu - one of their lowest scores ever

Pretty much everyone in this game is a rip-off of a more popular fighting game characters with some animation supposedly even being traced from them, the gameplay is barebones to the point where there aren't even things like chip damage and combos and the graphics horrendously upscaled.

>>8169672
It seems not even Japan was spared from the curse of slapdash licensed games. Probably rushed out the door in mere months to get it on shelves while the show was still airing.

>>8169710
Japan was loaded with those but most of them thankfully never made it out of it.
Same with all the celebrity and idol shit.

The DOS Stalker game which is borderline impossible to control and has some of the worst collision detection I've ever seen in a platformer.

>>8169294
Yes, but the accuracy is shit since you can only hit so many zones on the screen, thanks to the inept programmers. You also can't see what you're shooting during gun calibration.

Hana no Star Kaidou for Famicom. You control two characters at the same time in a completely terrible manner and your goals are unclear and obtuse. The game is absolute premium kusoge.

> It seems not even Japan was spared from the curse of slapdash licensed games

That is basically what every tokusatsu/One Piece game is since beginning of the source series. If franchise is super popular, you don't need to put extra effort into games, fans will buy it anyway. There were some some good Dragon Ball games though

>>8173469
>bad licensed toku games
that reminds me. Ultraman on gameboy. you thought the SNES games were bad? BOY HOWDY you ain't seen shit

>>8169190
This is a bad Alex Kidd but not unplayable. If you want bad on Mega Drive check out Tailspin.

I do admit I like the Gems music.

>>8167540
Shrek treasure hunt - ps1
Batman forever - snes

>>8168010
Oiii ese pendejo

A lot of people seem to consider this game 'kusoge', but it's for sure one of the weirdest games on the system, it has really well designed graphics and the music is very unorthodox.

>>8173587
I liked this as well when I was 11-12. Now I always chuckle when the music can't even keep pace at time. The darker side of GEMS.

Atlantis No Nazo has jump physics so bad that it actually made me appreciate just how good it feels to play something like Mario or Megaman, I don't think I've ever played anything else that was so shit it made me appreciate good games even more. Kind of a shame as it's probably one of the earliest metroidvania games in the genre and is ambitious is terms of the level and world structure. It doesn't help you have one of the most cumbersome methods of attacking in any game either.

>>8167895
Socket was semi-competent and had a good soundtrack.
