Garbage games you played when you were a kid but kind of enjoyed anyway because you were a dumb kid who didn't consider a game could be bad.

These were the kinds of games we actually played back then. We didn't know what was kino or ludo, we just got whatever our parents gave us. And we liked it!

I remember it was my turn to pick the game we rented for the weekend, and my older brother was fuming that I picked this. Don't even know if it was truly shit, all that sticks with me is my brother hating it.

I thought Sonic Heroes was a fun game that I liked as a child, but after having played through the whole game again recently, I can't understand how anyone could even possibly enjoy the game a tiny bit outside of the music. Everything gameplay-wise is just absolutely abysmal and poorly thought out to the point that I don't get how the game was released in the state it was.
Some things launch you into death if you hold any direction, several things launch you into death if you don't hold anything, every enemy takes more than one hit (some of them taking more than 10), levels take 10+ minutes on every team besides Team Rose (the only good team solely because of this reason), and other shit. This isn't even including the complete bullshit the special stages are. Sometimes, it feels like you're being ground up against the floor for no reason, whereas if you go too fast, the game will simply stop you or have your characters turn around. And switching away from the speed character is useless, despite the orb formations implying you should.
Fucking nonsense. Game's a joke.

This shit right here, the whole freeware collection. A few years later I met a kid who had also played it. We talked about it and how cool it was. A few years later, I realized we were both stupid because he was talking about Okami instead of Camy but somehow we never made the connection.

Looks like a GameMaker game.

[Anonymous No.7829947]

when my mom and dad would buy us games it was usually stuff marketed as old fashioned, board game collections, atari 2600 collections, virtual pool, and a game based on an old tv show about cars. The toy like look of the vehicles in the game appealed to me as a child I think.

[Anonymous No.7829984]

This game. There was a trilogy of winged warrior games. Did any of my other AOL Games bros download it? The company is still alive and still sells the registered version (and they respond to your emails within like 1 minute its incredible). I bought the trilogy. Incredibly basic rpg. Game breaks down to nothing more than swing sword and drink health potion, but something about the engine and graphics and music and just overall presentation made an impression on me as a kid. It was like, I could see through it and realized how cheap it was, but still thought it played well, and it made me realize anybody can make a game. Never made mine though.

I beat Cruisn USA until I got all the cars. I wish I had grown up with Ridge Racer or at least Cruisn World.

I don't remember much about it at all other than it being pretty bland, but I had fun anyway.

I tried to replay this game recently and had to quit because it was so terrible, and I'm saying this as a person who unironically has Sonic Adventure 2 in his top 20 all time games.

Sonic Adventure 2 has so much more going for it than Sonic Heroes, so I can definitely see someone enjoying it that much. Heroes on the other hand just does everything wrong on both a Sonic game level (overly long levels, excessive amounts of slow segments) and a general video game level (terrible controls, poor level design). It blows my mind that they called the game done and shipped it out.

[Anonymous No.7830385]

I think the worst sin it commits is a large amount of deaths never feel like it's your fault. Like if I'm going through a game and get killed by a tough platforming section, that's entirely on me, but if I'm killed by a shitty camera angle or getting thrown off the edge because of bad physics it's completely on the game.

Loved the movie as a kid (apparently I saw it in theaters at least four times) so my dad got me the Game Boy Color game. Best thing I can say about it is that it has a relatively fun little single console multiplayer mode in the form of hide and seek where you trade the Game Boy off to a friend and look for each other. The actual levels are pretty bad. I could never get more than a few levels in.
I never played the N64/PS1 game at the time (although I did consider renting it a few times) but after trying it I'd say I would have loved it as a kid.

I LOVED this game as a kid and grinded hundreds of hours.
I never considered replaying it because of pretty much the same reason, grindy game with repetitive gameplay, but it will still keep an important place in my heart.

>>7834483
Par for the course of a jrpg at the time. me and my friend used to rent it from blockbuster, we clocked around 130 hours before beating it. grindy, lots of backtracking, but it was a great time. We had to print a guide at the local library.

he's dead now, maybe that's why i'm so attached.

Sorry to hear that. It sure gives the game a special meaning.

ok so idk if this exactly counts on here as its from 2004 and pc port came out in 2006(which was the one i played) and i havent played this since then but its a shitfuck midas interactive budget game that you can barely find info on online so who really cares, the fact that it had moslers and ascaris was kinda neat and the tracks were kinda cool from my memory I GUESS

I was introduced to Sonic with Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on Gamecube and Sonic Advance 1. I loved them to death. I moved onto 1 DX and Advance 2 and the old games but when this came out it completely killes my interest in Sonic and the only new game I ever played since was Mania.

I like the idea of utilizing the huge ass amount of characters but bruh

Austin Powers was such a massive cultural juggernaut for a few years - Madonna, Britney Spears and Beyonce all pretended to seduce him on camera - and it's hard to explain how or why if you weren't there. The movies haven't stuck around like Shrek have.

Back in elementary school (around 1995), a friend of mine had a Genesis and we used to play Eternal Champions, back in the days I thought it was decent. I recently tried it again and oh fuck, this game sounds, plays and looks like shit, fucking dithering is an eyesore.

The special move inputs are retarded for a console based Fighting game. It's completely idiotic to force holding awkward button combinations when the overwhelming vast majority of the people playing your game are going to be doing so with a controller based around using your thumbs and not an arcade stick. Did the Genesis even have an arcade stick released for it?

Maybe Neil Breen did the modelling for the game? I actually really like that the intro for Dukes of Hazard was redone in 90's era CG. They did a good job.
