When I was a teenager, my best friend and I picked up Catfight, an all-female fighting game for the PC, and when we brought it home, despite having all the requirements met, and finding a patch available for it, we couldn't get it working at all. We eventually took the disc and ran over it with my car's tires multiple times, just to try and get some enjoyment out of it. Years later, I actually did play it thanks to emulation, and it was the absolute WORST fighting game I had ever played. If Catfight can't take Expect No Mercy's top spot, nothing will.

I remember taking a game design class at a local community college when I was a kid. It was a very intro level course but the professor was a cool old dude who liked to talk about Zen. One day I told him I wanted to make a fighting game, and he just started laughing and said, "Here's a Zen Koan: no man can make a fighting game, until he first fails to make a fighting game." I think about that quote a lot watching this series.

Yeah, even a barebones fighting game needs a lot of work. Even the punching sound: It has to be satisfying and varied, because you will be hearing it a _lot_ and if it's not satisfying and doesn't have at least a slight pitch shift, it will be absolutely annoying. At one point when I was 14 years old, I dreamed of making video games, but even seeing the animated sprites of fighting games made me think: "Maybe not this".

Along the same lines, I'd like to see him do "Metal & Lace: Battle Of The Robo Babes," a truly awful anime fighter ported from the PC-88. It's done in that wonky high-res VGA mode that PC-88 games use, so the scrolling and animation are horrifically choppy. (And I played all the way through that stinker, because it was so hard to get imported Japanese PC games in the mid-90s.)

If I had to say a really bad fighting game for PC I'd say Battle of The Eras. Now this one is a strong contestant to dethrone Expect No Mercy.

Man, it makes me happy but also sad to see Xenophage here. I remember playing it a lot when I was a kid. I honestly didn't expect Xenophage to enter the competition for worst fighting game... It easn't really the best game, but I think also far from the worst. Argo's lack of experience with making fighting games shows but they still did somewhat well with what they had (which Matt also addresses in the video), I think it just kinda sucks that every fatality (or, well, "Meat") move is a decapitation with no other variety to it. I remember having fun with this game, it has its flaws but it's at least serviceable as a fighting game. Oh and also, just a random piece of information... Blarney is actually the best character in the game. While he has the thing where he falls down and never gets back up again so he turns into a punching bag if that happens, he's also able to completely fill the screen with projectiles. He only has one attack, which is releasing that heart, but he can spam it nonstop to the point that the opponent is completely unable to do anything else.

Still can't wait for the day Matt decides to get to Heavy Nova.

Like, it has a stamina gauge like in that other fighting game you covered that I'm blanking the name on right now, except it takes forever to recharge and once it runs out you're basically a sitting duck. Not to mention the AI makes most SNK bosses seem fair in comparison because it just spams the cheapest tactics ever.

Having a simple code would be pretty handy for tournaments.

It was starting to get frosty at night and the leaves were turning and falling. And most nights i found myself trying to puzzle out the solution to a Crystal Caves level. I love how it had a toon vibe and brite colours but was fairly hardcore. Several times I had to restart a level because i accidentally blasted ONE brick which formed part of a one way staircase at the end of the level. That or knocking out a poison snake in a narrow hallway that forced me to take poison damage later. It had some pretty deep strategy for being such an early game

Could you perhaps take a look at VR Troopers for the sega genesis/game gear? I played it like once. I remember the controls changed with the difficulty on the genesis, and that you were restricted to 3 buttons on normal and above. And had to use actual button combinations to do specials where on lower difficulties they were each mapped to one of the 3 other buttons on the 6 button controller.

oh, that part about "resurrections" reminds me of a weird old arcade game, i forget the name... the playable characters were all giant monsters, "kaiju" sized. to finish off your opponent, you had to PIN him down...and KEEP him down. this seemed IMPOSSIBLE to do against ANY AI opponent! seriously, i knocked the enemy's health down to zero, then pinned him down, and he threw me off at least FIVE TIMES! THEN he pinned me down ONCE, and that was game over! that was SO unfair, i never played it again.

Bobby Prince did a special song with lyrics that plays if you complete a particular character's finisher: "You beat me, I beat you, we are one unruly rogue's gallery...with a great big chew I bite into you, and so are you are mortally wounded..." Sadly, this was left on the cutting room floor. /false lore.

oh, i used to have an Apple 2 version of Night Raid! one of the BEST tricks was hitting a paratrooper's CHUTE, making him FALL and CRUSH OTHERS UNDERNEATH! pretty fun, IF you had the option turned on that let you STEER your bullets AFTER firing. it was nearly unplayable without THAT.

As soon as I saw the 3D models my first thought was "wait, isn't that the game with the knockoff Barney the Dinosaur?" and sure enough, there he was. If there was one thing I remember vividly from the 90s, it was the unnecessary amount of vitriol people had for Barney.

Good to finally see this one. It's one I've been waiting for. I played the shareware of this back in the day, and have tried playing the full version a few times. What strikes me most about it is how absolutely unstable the game is to try to play. So. Many. Crashes. Though that may be more DOSBox than the game. But I remember even back when this game was new hating how it played. There's almost nothing good there. I didn't realize just how deep those menu options were, so clearly the developers did try. But the execution was massively flawed. I will admit, it is not "Expect No Mercy" levels though. Yee gods.
