THE worst Amiga games?

@Coder

 :lol:

@MAD

BTW, did anybody pass through the first two levels of Alien Breed 2 WITHOUT using any cheat mode??? If not, I will agree that AB2 was crap...

Me and friend completed the co-op mode without cheating on AB2. I didn't complete the single player mode though, but I got pretty far. It's one of my favourite games actually.

Alien Breed 3D 2 on the other hand though....that was HARD  :-o

Hehe I`ll fold on The Addams family...I won`t play it, probably, but my first impression wasn`t good.

@Mike_Amiga

Odyssey was a damn good game. I loved that game. Only wish i could buy it. I haven`t played it enough to get very far on it, but its great.

Nightbreed

Leisure Suit Larry 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...50000

@ MasterOfReality Wizball?!!?!  I loved that game!
Solid game control and fun.

I saw elsewhere that AArgghh was listed too.  I somewhat liked that game too, although Rampage was better.

Hi,

I am very suprised to see that no one has mentioned the 1994 amiga platform game by Black Legend called Fatman - The caped consumer. This had to be the biggest piece of ####e. I mean, The music was dire, The sound fx were crap and the game was pretty unresponsive, and they had a cheek to expect people to pay £25 for it :-o . They also released an aga version that appeared to be no different to the ordinary version.

Rainbow Islands, Now there`s a proper platform game. Me and a friend played this to death, We completed it so many times that we wore the disk out.

Regards

Trooper

Wizzball!!?!

It was quite fun to begin with, but the bouncing noise did my head in after a while.[

All right maybe Odyssey bashing was as misplaced as your Adams Family Bashing. Bit of a random shot from both of us really. However I swear there are a whole bunch of Graphical RPGs under my desk that suck rotten eggs. Just can't think of or see their names right now. :-o

[KingTutt]

Didn't Titus make Crazy Cars 3? Man that game was awesome, must be an exception or something. hehe.

Ok my token post bad game...

Spinner or was it called revolution. (On the same disk as Midnight Resistance)

@Lo

Read your post again,....you need sleep ;-).

Hey same one ! I was *shocked* by Dmask, but then again @ those times EVERY 3D implementation excited me. AND I liked the coder, too.

Mm.. I remember a game that my girl bought @ FNAC back when they'd sell Amiga Games, but near the end, when only unsold crap were subsisting, she wanted this game because of the colorful box.

It was a sort of "chopper rescue" clone where a prehistoric guy would ride a flying bycicle and try to collect passengers.

I mean it costed 100 FF, I still think I should be refunded on this one.

But actually, it's hard to find really bad games.

I mean I did not like the way skeleton Krew played, but I know a friend who made it rock.

Oh, another one : I HATED Chuck Rock ! And Aladdin ! And the Lion King ! (I had a 5 years old girl @ those times And bidule the Lion !

And Stunt Car Racer was a SHOCK of a good game ! I forgot this one in my "best" list ! put it very close to the top !!!

Altered Beast. The SEGA original was great.. the A500 port was crap

Hehe this has been interesting.

There seems to be a very simple formula to creating a truely awful game. Just include one or more, of the following, in differing amounts.

-Film/TV license
We all like to watch a film, and would like to be able to interect with those charcters and do what they did. We don`t mind that the game is a sloppy game do we? I mean, we don`t mind that the game was only made fo the money do we? :-)

-Very short
Who needs a game which goes on for hours? We only want to get to the end anyway. This is not short, its efficient. :-)

-Impossible to do
Who needs an easy game. Gamers nowadays want a game which is a challenge. If its impossible its the ultimate challange. What a game! :-)

-Annoying/bad music
If the game is annoying then why not make the music match?

-Annoying/bad graphics
If you want the game to be out in time for the date we gave you 5 years ago the games developers should be allowed to miss out something surely :-)

-Really bad port
We all like the bad graphics of the C64 don`t we, so why change it? :-)

-Bad physics
Who needs realism? This is a flight sim, its not real? :-)

-Unresponsive
Gamers don`t have very good reactions so we have to allow for this by making the game very slow and unresponsive. :-)

Keep`em comin. This is quite funny, to find out just how many stinkers theres been. :-D

[R2D2]

Dennis was absolutely awful! Nice graphics but it just wasn't playable.. Then again Wizball was/is one of the greatest games EVER made, so it amazes me that someone really didn't like it..  :-)

[Atheist]

I've found that Amiga games have good to outstanding!!! music, even some of the worst ones that were made.

BTW: Love that check list, I could just see some guy ticking off empty boxes beside each "virtue"  :-D as it's implemented!!!

Amiga! Play it again Sam(ple)!!

P.S.  --- Ever see the Woody Allen flick?  :-D  :-D
