Crap amiga games you still enjoyed?
« on: August 12, 2012, 07:19:08 PM »
What are some games that were generally crap, but you enjoyed in spite of it?

My two nominations were Dogs of War (got terrible reviews, and objectively the game is awful in almost every way....but in 2 player we played the hell out of it)

and Deathmask (terrible graphics, terrible controls, terrible sound, terrible levels....but two player on my mate's A500 and we got so many hours out of that bastard)

Warlords

The graphics were crap.
The sound so bad we switched it off.
The player movement included "artificial stupidity".

...but multiplayer gameplay was fantastic!



Oh yeah. We used to play it with 3 or 4 people. Tons of fun.

Near the end, the turns took forever.

Supercars II received poor ratings again but this was another Amiga classic.


This is one I always pull out when doing retro-gaming with non-amiga people. It's not great on your own, but in 2 player it's mad fun.

I also liked Death Mask. Terrible graphics, terrible controls, terrible sound and terrible levels indeed but I liked atmosphere and completed it on my Amiga 500.
I remember the alien levels being rather creepy, even though they mostly involved running away from the aliens :)

I thought New York Warriors did have a 2 player mode? Maybe Im confusing it with something else.

I liked Breathless, but I can see why some people didn't. Not sure if I'd class it as "crap" though. To me, that's more games that almost everyone agreed were garbage.

On the arcade conversions, I must admit I liked a lot of them (final fight, street fighter 2, strider etc). Never really played them in arcades, so I guess we didn't know better :)
Interestingly, a lot of those reviewed really well back in the day, despite being generally panned today, when MAME is available :)

We played Mortal Kombat 2 quite a lot. To me it was good, but it might be another where if we had played the console or arcade versions, it'd have seemed cheap.
