Any flight "sim" with a choppy framerate and sparse graphics. There's so many bad ones out there that were touted as being great or popular, but when you try to play them today - meh. Guess that genre didn't hold up particularly well IMO. One that was real popular back in the day was Wings. I love most Cinemaware games, but this is exactly what I just described above.

EDIT: also, pretty much Sierra's output for the Amiga.  Fucking four, eight and sixteen color games on a machine that could do 64 without missing a beat.

THANKS, ASSHOLES.
Couldn't agree more! Throughout its history, the Amiga was seriously gypped that way. Between horseshit AtariST ports and clunky looking IBM DOS ports - what in the F#CK were they thinking?

I've never played Wing Commander on the CD32, but I can just imagine how clunky and slow that translation is.  :angry:
