Shitty games you owned as a kid

[Anonymous No.623539]

Pic related, Circus Caper. I had this for years and I don't think I ever got past the crocodiles in the first level. For those of you who don't know, this is a game with a ridiculously long, unskippable cutscene in the beginning, followed by shitty gameplay. You jump so high you nearly clear the screen. If you jump on an enemy, you DO clear the screen.

Just awful.

somebody recommended this game on this board a couple of days ago. I had never heard of it but didn't dare to try it.

Here, a shitty game I owned as a kid. My brother loved motocross so he bought this because it looked fantastic on the back of the box. I ended up playing it more than he did, although it really sucked (awful graphics, awful enemy ai, AWFUL physics) I ended up having some fun still.

Peter Pan and the Pirates for the NES...

I tried really fucking hard to like this game. Something told me there was a great game waiting for me, I just had to get past the shitty...

...

...that never happened.

>Mission Impossible

If you mean the one on NES, that one is really great. Except hard.

Maybe you mean the one on N64 though, but afaik that one was good too.

I remember renting that and playing it through to the end. No, it's not really good, but in that respect, it is faithful to the source material.

Hook for the SNES is awesome if you want to get your Peter Pan on.

This game was fucking terrible. After watching the GCCX episode about it, I realized I saw maybe 1/10th of the content when I was a kid.

Dash galaxy in the alien asylum

I had Super Pitfall too but I think Dash is slightly shittier.

[Anonymous No.623746]

>>623734
I played this game a little bit here and there on an emulator, a while back. Not sure what everybody's beef was with it. I guess the character runs a little slow?

This one is infinitely better than Super Pitfall, by the way.

Dr. Franken II for the gameboy.

it was a load of ass, and i've never found anyone else who has even heard of it.

[Anonymous No.623787]

Jesus Christ why was this game so impossible. Music was great though.

THIS fucking piece of shit

Where I lived, the cartoon wasn't syndicated so my only exposure to Inspector Gadget was the Matthew Broderick movie which I still love by the way fuck the haters it has that 90s disney charm of deconstruction cliches and didn't even know the cartoon existed.

I begged my parents to buy this game for me, thinking it would be some cool sidescroller/3D platformer

BOY WAS i DISAPPOINTED

What a fucking MEDIOCRE puzzle game. Like, so fucking average and simpleminded.

The thing that stands out the most to me about Crazy Maze is that I have seriously never felt disappointment about the true nature of a game born from misinformed excitement. Maybe finding out Dead Island was going to be nothing like that full CG trailer about the Zombiebabbygirl would rank second place, this game though, all the way on top.

As the sole dweller in the hall of the mountain king of shit.

It was pretty nice, alright.

But the fact those special attacks used up your health was pretty rage-inducing.

Arcade version was much better. Four Jacksons at the same time, man!

[Anonymous No.626771]

I'll never understand why the heck I used to like these games so much as a kid, as opposed to 'y know, actually good fighters.

The N64 one probably falls into so-bad-it's-good territory. It had Earthworm Jim and Boogerman, at least.

I had Bart vs. the World for NES. I still remember the pain of having played Bart vs. the Space Mutants earlier on the NES so when I received vs. the World for Christmas, it was probably the most fake "thank you" I ever laid down in my life.

It was still believable though like the Christmas before when I got TMNT for NES and had no idea what I was getting into until a few horrifying hours later. At least then I was legit excited as a kid should have been at getting the newest game that has the mother fucking ninja turtles in it.

Considering the fact that I thought it was actually Dragon Warrior Monsters, I always found this game to be shitty.

Really not a bad game, but I was pretty disappointed for a LONG time.

[Anonymous No.626989]

Some people seems to like it, personnally I've always hated it, too hard for a kid, ffs it's a fuckin' simpsons game, it is waited to be cool and fun, it's the exact opposite! It's boring, hard as fuck, a torture... God that I hate this game, still feel the frustration...

I thought Virtual Bart was better. Krusty's Fun House didn't really feel like a Simpsons game. You could replace Krusty's sprite with anyone, and nothing would change

I have Rambo for NES which is pretty bad but actually playable when I was a little kid and had no ambition of actually beating it.

Twisted Metal 2 for PlayStation is admittedly not terrible but I could never get into those games. Just felt like it was trying to be super edgy and wasn't as fun as Vigilante 8. I ended up giving it away.

NES: Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout
SNES: Inspector Gadget, Goof Troop, Uniracers, Toy Story, Paperboy 2 (Throwing papers directly at jocks, couch-movers and elderly people is fun at first, but gets old, fast.)
Genesis: Castle of Illusion, Quack Shot (I hate those games, so sue me.)
Gamegear: Lion King
Gameboy/Color: Braveheart, Conker's Pocket Tales
N64: Quest 64, Penny Racers (not a bad game, just horribly short.)
I see a pattern here... lots of licensed shovelware.

The latter two aren't that bad (I just didn't care for them) but I don't get the praise for Gadget and Goof Troop. One's an overly-stiff platformer (albeit with some nice powerups) and the other I remember as a tedious overhead back-and-forth collection fest, and not a fun one like LTTP.

[Anonymous No.628513]

I was pretty lucky. The worst would be Doom (GBA). I have no idea why I bought that having grown up on the PC version and even level editing. I also had Tomb Raider on GBC that I never played much and it seemed boring, so I'll list that too.
