I really hated Captain Planet and its awful controls and collision detection. Also, Last action hero was a real dissapointment and Ive always been ashamed of Street Fighter II, later titles of that franchise proved the Amiga could do so much better. There is much more though, the really awful graphics of the Sierra Amiga adventures for example, or what about Pitfighter, Cabal (the c64 version looked better!) and post-1995 stuff like Racer, Joyride, Flyin High etc.. Oh and did anyone see the intro of Hellpigs? :(

Fortunately there have been more great games than bad ones.. :)

The Sierra games I had in mind were already VGA games -256 colours. Our AGA machines would have had no problem handling these. But then It would have to be harddrive-only. Not many games were, I only recall Willy Beamish (quite a decent PC port) and a few later games.

Rise of the robots was crap on all platforms, so I guess that doesnt count :)

I dont really agree.. Technically it was quite impressive, and although the graphics dont fit together at all, they are quite large and colourful.
 
Same goes for Baby Jo. Although I never played the game, at least in the visual department its not bad at all.

Well it's a Dutch title, so I'm supposed to stand up for it :)
