@stephen schneider yeah believe it or not the arcade version of DD3 is a lot wore than the console version

I remember seeing a longplay of the arcade version of Double Dragon 3 and staring in disbelief as players had to spend real money to buy skill sets. Of course, that tactic is all too common now in gaming because of loot crates and DLC.

Something crazy though, the Amiga version is arguably the best version of the game out there. They had access to the code for the arcade version and removed a bunch of the stupid crap that was on there. Only issue was that it didn't have music in the levels which was annoyingly common with the Amiga.

I understand some of the criticisms but at least in this video I didn’t see the man block...not even once. You can’t play that game and not block. At least that’s what I remember about it it was many years ago, but mastered it. You have to block, and it’s got its own kind of rhythm to it.

Kind of ironic, if you ask me. Normally, it's the other way around.

What if I told you Acclaim bought LJN back in 1990 but kept their video game label active?

In the form of Spirit of Speed 1937 for Sega Dreamcast. The worst game on Dreamcast.

@@LorenHelgeson Holy shit. U rite

As an Englishman, made me smile as-well.

Yep bloody loved that

I want to hear “bollocks” being used in the next episode. Or even “the bollocks”. Some context in case SLX is unaware: Bollocks = shite The bollocks = amazing

aye, agreed. Pish and bugger are also welcome editions from our yankee friends

@Sandman Slim Oh yeah, though I’m a scone man myself

Condiment Man and Mustard Boy

🤣🤣🤣 dyin'

A night on the town in San Francisco! 😂 😂 😂

@@mduke2k 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don’t forget Evildoer.

Nah. Kids actually beat Nick Arcade. Who could honestly beat this game outside of save states?

LMAO!!!

the amiga version is slightly better, but the last boss is about near impossible

Out of the games I've tried for the system, it's by far the worst. It may be the worst for any system actually.

the first time i saw that box i thought i was on acid

Also, it's a pre-SF2 fighting game. All pre-SF2 fighting games are terrible, as far as I know. The Genesis has others. Budokhan was also a pre-SF2 fighting game ported from PC, and it is very bad. And Street Smarts, which was a pre-SF2 arcade game. Also terrible. There's also no shortage of bad post-SF2 fighting games on Genesis, like Rise of the Robots and Time Killers.

@@cbarger2327 - Not all of them are bad. You haven't been looking hard enough.

@@cbarger2327 I think Yie Ar Kung Fu was actually a pretty decent game for the arcades that was a good 6 years older than SF2.

@@FedorovAvtomat I’ve heard of that game but never actually played it, I may have to check that out on MAME. I’ve been trying to think of good 1-on-1 fighting games before the SF2/MK/Fatal Fury fighting game renaissance (all 3 of those games had overlapping development) and haven’t come up with much. Maybe Punch-Out! if that counts, but it isn’t even 2 player. The arcade version of Pit Fighter isn’t terrible, but it isn’t exactly great either

Another Arnold-based license, Last Action Hero, has the hero sprite looking more like RedLetterMedia's Mike Stoklasa.

That's a great answer

Fun fact about me? I didn't play Time Killers until about 10 years after it came out. It looked so bad, I just never played it.

RGT Commenting on a Sega Lord X Video? GG, my life is complete.

I played TK on a broken arcade cabinet that played for free. I enjoyed (that version) of it very much.

My Life In Gaming: new phone, who dis

@Karl Burnett You didn't miss anything, it was a port of an arcade weapon vs fighter that was trying to capitalize on the blood n gore that was popular at the time.

Target Earth was very hard at the beginning, I'm pretty sure that first escort mission caused a lot of people to give up on it. When you get past it, the game opens up. Your Mech gets more abilities, weapons, armor etc... it is very limited in that first stage. Definitely understand that it could be someone's least favorite; it took me a good while before getting past the first stage, plenty of other games out there that didn't frustrate as much.

I like Osomatsu-kun in its own stupid way. It's not good, but it has its charm with the silly animations and weird enemies.

To be fair, Target Earth isn't that bad of a game once you managed to get past the first stage. Stil, you gotta be tough enough to go through with it from start to finish!

@@chaosgreyblood I love TE! One of my first games. But yeah it's way too hard

Target Earth was very playable/enjoyable. Loved it. There was an all weapons cheat that made it much easier.

Thanks for being here to watch it.

The game might actually be better than the movie but that's not saying much. The soundtrack of the Megadrive version was what made me switch the game of after 2 levels.

@Karl Burnett Joblo WTF happened to Geena Davis. Yes it's good and it is up to date.

@@Yuuretsu At least you can say you gave it a shot and beat the first level, not everyone can boast the same.

yeah i remember the movie being so bad that the studio that developed it went bankrupt

@@mentalphilanthropist35 yes I subscribe to that account too, I watched long kiss goodnight after the documentary as I'd not seen it for over 20 years 🙈

It really was. Just so bad.

It shouldn't have been. A game based on Wayne's World? Only a miracle could get a good game out of that kind of movie.

My parents bought it for me for Christmas back in the day and it instantly crushed my spirit. I don't think I ever made it out of the first level.

That game is an absolute acid trip. I gotta say, I had fun with the level select code in there. It's interesting sampling the levels, but not playing the whole thing through.

I agree, not a good game at all, but I still loved it as a kid. At John's house you can shoot the alarm, giving you time to explore the house without any enemies. At the mall, cops leave you alone unless you hurt/kill anyone. Loved how closely (mostly) it followed the movie, and little details like checking the answering machine at John's house.

@Orzuum Agree 100%. I first got the Genesis port and then later got one of those compilation discs that came with the arcade original. I was genuinely surprised to find myself enjoying it less than the Genesis version (though I still had some fun with it).

The warning was on the box - it said Acclaim.

This is one of my favorite games.))

If you're a sonic fanboy and say anything otherwise, sus. If you're a pinball fan though and say the opposite, it makes sense. If you happen to like both: match made in heaven.

Not a fanboy. Loved the damn game because I paid for it! Lol

@@Planag7 I got the game for free from my cousin and I love it.

@@gameboy_colorful7078 yeah I got to the point where I really loved everything but the last level the last level just would make me tear my hair out! But I somehow accidentally figured out the whole secret on making the pinball switches rise in the machine which saved me and my brother so much time to get those emeralds!

Sonic fan here, but total agree.

Dark Castle was originally released on the classic Macintosh. It was actually a pretty good game on Macintosh and controlled very well. You used the keyboard to move, jump, pick up things, and kneel while you used the mouse to aim and throw rocks.

Nyehnyehnyehnyehnyeh!

Playing Dark Castle for a whole day gives you a horrifying level of depression that no spiraling from addiction or break up could top.

T2 is actualy not a real bad game , I have play it back in the days on the SNES . If you know how the driving works , the game becomes easy .. so easy that I had completed it over 40 times and every time in under 45 minutes ..... I thinkmy record was under 25 minutes .

I own the SNES version and yeah that game is the second worst fighting game I own (the first being Mortal Kombat 4 for Game Boy Color).

I never played it but I remember being thoroughly entertained by the scathing review it got in the local video game magazine.

@@zzzae how do you make a fighting game where player 1 cannot select any other charecter other than the cover bot...I also forgot to add Shaq-Fu and Revolution X to the crap list

Arrgh. I often conflate Rise of the Robots with Heavy Nova, this was also released for the Genesis back then. Everyone was going gaga for the graphics back then, both these games had fighting robots that used 3D rendered sprites, the gameplay was boring and tedious though. RotR was originally an Amiga/PC title an relied on one button joystick controls, in 1994 several years after SF2 one button isn't enough. Heavy Nova had side scrolling and vs fighting gameplay. 🤦‍♂️

i bought the MD version at the time, based on a "91/100" rating from CVG (yes i still remeber it, surely they got paid to that), mine was really a bad decision....

I covered it recently in fact in one of my Genesis best graphics vids.

@@SegaLordX oh ok i didnt know that thanks keep up the good work bro

It isn’t a list of objective views about what’s worse. It’s my list for my least favorites.

I don't know where all the Sega T2 hate comes from. Spread like wildfire youtube. I rented it back in the day and was surprised how close to the film it was. I thought Arnold's sprite and sprite animation looked cool. I wonder what gaming mags back in the day, like GamePro, rated this. I'm willing to bet it wasn't hated when it was released.

@@bmshaven I rented T2 and loathed it. Only fun I got out of it was the stupid looking crook neck the sprite makes when you jump, like he's hanging from a rope.

@@SegaLordX you not played that many mega drive games then? 😂

I think peoples hate was due to them not owning an arcade stick, otherwise T2 was great. Plus the fact they struggled to play it.

I always felt that Western game development really started to come into it's own when Rare created DKC and Id developed Wolfenstein 3D. Sega of America created some great games as well.

@@Yuuretsu Wasteland was really good, but that's a PC game. Western developers were awful at using the Genesis sound chip. Warsong had much better sound quality (let alone that awesome Noriyuki Iwadare sound track) than Batman Forever even though it came out 4 years earlier and was developed by a much smaller company.

*cough* PC gaming. An entire industry weebs ignore.

@@diegoarmando5489 Tommy Tallarico knew how to get a good tune out of the YM2612, as did Spencer Nilsen, Jeff Dyck, and John Baker.

Play the Amiga original instead.

Sword of Sodan was more exciting when it came out on Amiga. By the time it was ported to Genesis, it already hadn't aged well. Back when EA thought porting it's Amiga catalogue to Genesis was a good idea.

@@danceswithmules The Amiga color palette suited this game better.

Where's ET when you need him

oh come on don't you remember how excited you were back in the 90s when you saw digitised graphics lol

@@retrorystergaming577 lol. always couldn't stand them along with full motion video games. heck to this day i much prefer hand dot-drawn sprites over polygons anyday

@@gtrzdaddy Yoshi's Island will look good 1000 years from now lol

@@bmshaven so true

@@gtrzdaddy hahaha mate I LOVED FMV growing up!! Mad Dog McCree!! What a game lol. And street fighter the movie the game (joking on that one). Of course nowadays hand drawn sprites is where its at but early mid 90s I loved FMV

then you missed out on a lot of great EA games back then

Road rash is awesome especially on ps1

Amiga version is best

I worked for a UK company for 13 years. Spent everyday around blokes from England and Scotland. Picked up a few words and expressions from em.

@@SegaLordX Haha, excellent! I'll be keeping an ear out for the next one I notice!

It was total shite

Yup. Awful game.

@@SegaLordX Disney got big mad at 'em for that game, too. Lol We can see why... 👀 I think heard it was done mostly without them (the devs on Fantasia) realizing the license deal was already expired. Funnily enough.

@@SegaLordX so bad that Disney forced Inforgrames and Sega to recall all unsold copies of it once they heard how bad it was and got released without their knowledge.

Heck the producer actually admitted that it sucked really bad. It had downright design problems, I'd call them glitches. Not only were the enemies much faster than they should be, there is a delay between a button input and it actually taking effect in the game. This made me extremely confused as to whether killing enemies by bouncing on them was a thing, since it often didn't work and only sometimes worked. This was due to the input lag where you had to press the jump button again in mid air to be able to bounce on enemies, but the lag made it so that if the enemy was very close when you do so, you'd land on them and take damage. Without being able to bounce on them, that left only the very limited magic as a means to kill enemies. The game was, to me at that time, one where you had to avoid all these fast moving enemies and make your way to the end of the stage. Not what I would call fun.
