Doom on the 3DO. Did you always wanna play doom like you were heavily drunk and had your feet stuck in porridge? Now thanks to the 3DO port, you can!

I think Square's post-SNES efforts fit the bill a lot more, unless you're head over heels over shitty plots and characters taken from animu/action films for the most part.

Wheelchairs don't have strafe buttons.

You sound like the people complaining about Echo Night Beyond being "slow" because they spent the entire game without trying to press the run button.

Way worse than the NES versions. Clunky, slow controls, mediocre music remixes, mediocre overall presentation and really astonishing slowdown. I don't normally mind slowdown, but holy hell; the crash bomb wall wart boss and Woodman are fucking ridiculous. It seriously feels like playing in slowmo. Makes sense that it was relegated to the Sega Channel in the US.

Playing Spawn. Yep, it's crap. Pure crap. Even with texture filtering on the textures look pixelated and blocky.

To be fair, Nova Blast was awesome and Coleco had the very best pre-NES port of Donkey Kong.
Plus Pepper 2. Pepper 2 was fucking great.

Exerion port is good, so is Psycho Fox and like, Sanic, wait Psycho and Sanic are Master System.
I get confused because Master System can play SG-1000 games.

Tomb Raider has awesome controls. If you actually learn how to use all the movement options and perform them at the right time (i.e. actually learn and get good at the game) you get extremely flexible and precise movement. The only real issue is that the walking animation is too tightly coupled to how far you move so it is hard to pick up items if you misaligned with the tile grid so to speak.

>Tomb Raider has awesome controls.

No way. Can't tell you how many times I've pressed the jump button and the bitch just kept running. That game had delay issues or something because it did not react well with quick button changes.
