B.O.B. man

I had to stay in a children's hospital for really long periods when I was growing up. They had this little repurposed supply closet with a playstation and a super nintendo. If you were good you could have 30 mins of playtime in there, once or twice a week, depending on how many other kids wanted in too.

I don't even remember what they had for the playstation, but for the SNES they had B.O.B. and I played the fuck out of the first 3 or so levels. I always restarted because I couldn't understand English yet and I don't think I'd ever really bumped into games with password saving then

I hated being there and all the people there but playing this cool game with big sprites I'd never seen anywhere else was a welcome escape. I loved all the quirky animations of the robot MC being crushed all small when he fell and climbing along pipes with just his fingers

I got it for the MD a while ago and yep it's still pretty shit. I don't think the version differences account for much of that. It's just kinda slow and basic as shooty platformers go. The death animations and cringy 90's 'tude are all that's really going for it and I love it
do you have similar affections for games you recognize to be kind of garbage, /vr/? please share your stories

Tom and Jerry, average platformer, not really horrible but it has a huge difficulty spike in the 3rd world and the controls/hibox aren't the most friendly. Still I replay this game once in a while for nostalgia's sake, it's very short when you know what you're doing. Also knowing you can do a higher jump.
I also like the music, even though it's just 2 really generic MIDI organs and nothing else, and just 2 tracks during the whole game, I still find them charming.

I don't think B.O.B is a shit game, but I loved that game growing up.

This game right here. I spent way too much time playing this shitty game as a kid. This and the Daffy Duck Dodgers game were so fun then.

This game is actually fun

Magic Sword is hardly a work of genius but I've always found something quite comfy about it. I like the really sincere way they say "thank you" when you release the prisoners too.
