Opa Opa Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 What do you think is the worst 2600 company ever? I think it might be these guys. I think enough has been said. As for companies that DONT Re-release other games, it would be these poor people. In my opinion they only have one good game, and this is it. Anyone agree or disagree? (Im not counting Mystique and Playaround, with their pitiful attempts at a porn game. Or at least I think they're pitiful.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Mythicon games suck. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Slocum Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I think Mythicon's the worst. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmctm1sw Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 hmmm, I guess that's why my Sea Hunt (or is it Sea Hawk?) looks like Activision's Seaquest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 all of the mythicon games are basically the same flicker hard to control redeeming value free lumps of plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarinvader Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Why do people not like Playaround and Mystique? I really think that people get the wrong end of the stick *ahem* with these companies. They're not supposed to be erotic, they're supposed to be comical and they are, unlike modern erotica software. And the games are pretty good, especially 'Knight on the Town'. Custer's Revenge is obviously beyond the bounds of decency now, but is a product of its time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 I also think that Froggo blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckandCover Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 Froggo's releases were pretty horrific. I'm afraid I'm not a big fan of Karate. IMHO, the game has got to land in the "Top Ten Most Frustrating Carts of All Time". Not to mention how ugly it is to look at. The other Froggo releases? Cruise Missile, Sea Hawk, Spiderdroid, Sea Hunt.....BLEEAAGGHHH!!!! I think Froggo wins the worst company race hands down. Mythicon's a close second in terms of terrible. I can remember getting a copy of Sorcerer back in the day, rushing home to play it, and after a few minutes of boredom, scratching my head in disappointed confusion. It is pretty pathetic when a company releases what is essentially the same game with three different make-overs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for bad companies, Panda wasn't exactly winning any awards. At least Froggo gained some redemption by making some original 7800 games. And of course, pirate companies like Zellers didn't help anything. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 Mythicon wins hands down. Firefly had a cool logo at the label, misleading ya about the quality of the game inside, but once you inserted that cart you knew you'll never see the world the same way you did until then LOL. That's how bad it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 How about the worst companies being the ones that just pirated/copied/ripped-off games, without ever making any original concept games at all. I must agree with all that Mythicon is the worst company 'claiming' to have good original games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 Hehe. I guess I win for picking Mythicon. Seems like most of the people agree. As for the porno games, I think they are fun. Kaboom move over, we have a few girls here with hungry mouths. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opa Opa Posted May 20, 2002 Author Share Posted May 20, 2002 Yes, I liked Karate. And Ze_ro is right about Panda, they sucked a lot too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Mythicon, they are horrible. I have a funny Mythicon story you might like, My dad came home one day with a big box of games. He said "Hey son, I got all these cool-looking 2600 games for only $20!". I think $20 was an over charge because they were all Mythicon games. After playing them for about 10 minutes each, I went back to something else. (Yes, Karate would count as something else.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opa Opa Posted May 20, 2002 Author Share Posted May 20, 2002 Sorry, but I still think Froggo is the worst. As for Karate, I guess Im the only one that liked this game (I will admit when I bought it that I rushed home to play it, and I DID like it...)

Chris++ Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I agree -- Froggo's the worst. I've never enjoyed any of their games. At least I played Sorcerer and Fire Fly for a few days when I first got them. Their interest is short-lived, sure, but not as bad as Froggo's stuff.
