I certainly tried to. I wanted to like this game I really did. Instead it was too convoluted & too tedious.

But it isn't broken, it's just convoluted and tedious. ;)

EA has numerous bad game... 《Immortal》、《sword of sodan》、《dark castle》...

They also have good works,such as 《rolo to the rescue》、《*** Strike》、and others

Immortal has some badass death animations though.

I for one see redeeming factors in just about any game, I can't really find a game I think is THAT bad.

On the SNES I think at least the game that brought me the least joy was "Lagoon", very mediocre RPG game,
as I'm generally not that big into RPGs this didn't really go well for me. Dull graphics, rather mediocre music, slow and boring gameplay.
At least the intro tune was pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mqVrKTFCwc

On the Gen/MD I'd say the game(s) that really didn't work too well on my list is just about all the sports games that carry some celebrity name,
Never was a big fan of sports games that take themselves too seriously (Kunio-kun series is a good example of fun sports games in my book).

But I can't really hate a game knowing how much effort people have spent programming and making graphics and music for it,

so at least I try to find some good in them.

On both the SNES & Genesis. Negative experiences were few & far between. If I had a letdown on Super NES, it would be considered more as negative than these what I've experienced.

Super Double Dragon,Pushover, and Mario's Time Machine were all letdowns, but I don't personally hate them. The 5 that I listed, are among my most loathed SNES titles.

The Genesis was more rare. I got one in '93 & my stepdad got me an JVC 'X Eye. Since I was subscribed to Sega Channel in 1995, my library was pretty small.

I could only think of three well despised Genesis titles: Barney,Shaq Fu & Batman Forever. Last Battle is more a personal experience for me while Ballz is widly disliked by alot of people.

Thank you, that sounds totally reasonable. More than your first post.

Battle Squadron
Stormlord

Battlemaster
Dark Castle

Heh, I've gotten at least some enjoyment from every game on that list, though Battlemaster is shaping up to be a major disappointment (great premise, rough execution) and Battle Squadron is vaguely unpleasant. Trampoline Terror, though, is unequivocally great -- a real sleeper gem. And Dark Castle, while a deeply flawed port that never should've happened, is actually amusing once you know how to approach it.

Mine would look something like this:

Arcade Classics
Exile
Onslaught
Warrior of Rome
Zoom

But I haven't yet played Back to the Future III, Last Action Hero, No Escape, etc. for more than a couple minutes.

As for the SNES, I'd start with:

Pit Fighter
Race Drivin'

And then I'd have to think about it for a while.

Genesis Bottom 20 thread:
http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthr...sis-Bottom-20&

I'd be interested in an SNES counterpart but doubt there's enough SNES knowledge here to do it justice. The SNES has some astoundingly awful stuff ("D-Force!" I hear the people cry) whereof plumbing the bottom most 20, let alone your 5, would be an Augean stables kind of task.

Thanks. Oddly, I can't name a single remotely terrible Genesis game off the top of my head.

I nominate the SNES version of James Bond JR for at least one of the not quite so good SNES games :)

Way worse than the NES counterpart.

I don't think Barney should be on that list. It's not intended for adults, which is why they all hate it. However, its target demographic, toddlers, love it. My two daughters had a lot of fun with that game, along with Thomas the Train Engine, Crystal's Pony Tale, and Richard Scary's Busytown.

Barney should be evaluated based on its premise and its intended audience. It suceeded in both regards.

You can't argue about the worst games on any system, unless you have played the entire library. Which obviously, you have not.
There are far worse games on either system.
Look through the bottom 20 topic for some good suggestions.

I'll have to disagree with you on the immortal. I think it's pretty damn good :)

Yeah, The Immortal is pretty decent.

I hesitated on Trampoline Terror, I thought I might have heard something positive about it but couldn't remember. The rest are probably just mediocre.

Can't really argue with those, I haven't played any of them extensively.

Add in Captain America and the Avengers and there's only two to go.

Also, The Immortal is undeniably awesome and completely unique among all games ever. I've beaten it on the NES and Genesis and love it on both.
