THE worst Amiga games?

[AmiGod]

carls,

I once downloade the Gloom 3 demo from aminet.  Now that's what I call crap...

I agree wholeheartedly.  After playing Gloom 2, I decided to buy Gloom 3.  Biggest waste of my money ever.  I should have kept playing Gloom 2 instead.

Hoya!

Does anyone remember Psygnosis' Brattacas? ERK!
Lombard Rally, the very first game I had on Amiga was total crap!

Addams Family is still one of my fave platformers (my bro digs it too).

Alien Breed 2 COULD have been a great game if its difficulty level was reasonable...

Gloom 3 must die.

Skeleton Krew sucks IMHO...

That's it for now...

Be funky!

Why has nobody mentioned:

Manhattan Dealers??

Nothing in this game is good, and futhermore it crashes quite often. I´ve had a couple of originals which followed in bundles, but I never saw a cracked version. Guess that nobody wanted to spend their expensive disk on that crap!

Space Ace comes to mind....  urrgghh!!
God looking though.

@Hardboy

but I never saw a cracked version.

Ahum, I got a cracked version of that game somewhere. And indeed it sucks.

LOL. Actually on the Fire Button site, the worst 5 games as voted by their visitors are:

1. Akira
2. Navy Moves
3. 'Allo 'Allo
4. Rise of The Robots
5. 4x4 Offroad Racing

Weirdly enough, I don't appear to own any of them...

Navy Moves? Your kidding right?

Navy Moves was one of my favourites. Sure the first part with the boat dodging mines was awefully difficult. But it picked up later in the game. Especially the sub, ooo that was cool.

Anyway I also disagree with some of the ones listed by others, Captain Planet?!?! That one was a gem too. I was a big Captain Planet fan back then, and I found it particularly refreshing. Especially the way each planeteer had a different power and level design to go with it.

T2 was a rush job, but I finished it and found the FMVs a novel thing at the time. Of course there were some real bad ones too.

Some people loved this one to death, but I always found The Running Man lacking in something. hmmm. But by far not to be placed in the worst games category.

That place I reserve for... Warhead. Man I persisted with that one for like 2 years, thinking it was like some Elite killer, (great and intruiging intro) but it never resulted in anything. Gawd I'm sure glad Freelancer hits in March. w007!!!

Moonshine Racers (very nice intro, poor gameplay)
80% of all soccer games
About every second game from OCEAN (and all their games based on films)
Stun Runner
Silent Forces
....Splinter Cell

Except for Face Off hockey - I had the C64 version, and liked it well enough, but never got a copy of the Amiga one that worked!

I didn't know that Krisalis made a C64 version of that game. There was a game called Face Off on the C64 though, by Gamestar,  that was really cool. With NHL teams and trades and strategies and all that we've come to expect from EA's NHL series nowadays.

worst arcade translation being the Amiga version of Street Fighter 2 (OCS),

No way man, Double Dragon for the Amiga was far worse!  That conversion was so bad it would make an Atari 2600 blush :-x

Every time this subject comes up I must say the same thing for the worst games ever....

Any game ever made by Titus :-x  Titus sucked rotten eggs through a garden hose :-x Fire and Forget? Yeah easy to forget :-x

I must have got caught up in all the hype surrounding the release of
Myst for the Amiga.
I probably paid about £30 for a slide show and some animations, you
can barely call it a game though, so I don't know if it counts.

Rise of the sliding Robots
They just slided all over the screen and it was so easy to win "advanced AI" meant find the right move and keep using it.
Any footballmanager game
What is the point of those?

[ruffneck]

Eh-eh, it's pretty funny to read that people have so damn opposite opinions:)) whabang mentioned Gloom as a worst 3d shooter, but i think it rocks:) and tv show Allo Allo wasn't bad at all!

......Gloom as a worst 3d shooter, but i think it rocks

So that's what you think? I guess you have never played Breathless then? I don't think you'd spend time on Gloom if you tried somthing better. But of course, B'less require something like an 040, and I don't know your Amiga.

the Worse Amiga 3D game i have played has to be "Tales from Heaven" graphics look fine but it feels like your moving the screen around the player which is bad for a game which was branded  a "Mario64 clone" by AA.

@Bezzen-

I didn't know that Krisalis made a C64 version of that game. There was a game called Face Off on the C64 though, by Gamestar, that was really cool. With NHL teams and trades and strategies and all that we've come to expect from EA's NHL series nowadays.

Ooops!  I take back anything nice I said about Krisalis Face-Off hockey.  Quickly booting up my emulator disks, it was, indeed Gamestar Face-Off hockey that I liked.  (Except for that scary boot picture!)  Hah!  I've had it mislabelled for all these years.  My bad.

As for Amiga hockey turkeys, though, how about the Amiga version of Blades of Steel?  That one left a lot to be desired.  

Also, thumbing through my disks, I found a real disappointment from back in the day... The Amiga version of Ray Tobey's SkyFox.  The C64 one was one of my all time favorites, but somehow they managed to make the Amiga one look and play worse!
