Games you KNOW you should hate but love anyway?

Tournament Cyberball for the Lynx.

Ish..

[Pete5125]

On the 2600 it was the original Chess game, I remeber that the cheating Atari Computer refused to loose so if it was going to get a Check or Checkmate it would roll through the rainbow of colors (thinking of its next move) till you would turn the game off in discuss.

 

On the Genesis I received James Pond and Budakon for my copy of DJ BOY which all 3 games were bad but since I bought the Genesis that included Altered Beast and I was waiting 3 long months for my Free Sonic game I took my $20 left over and bought the only game I could aford DJ Boy like Final Fight accept you control a gay Rollerblader set to Japaneese techno music. Believe it or not it was an exact clone of an arcade game that bombed. I hated the game but it offered more challenge than Altered Beast so it was constantly played.

 

It became the game of legend though because me and my friend built it up so much that his cousin traded 2 games for one Budakon(an EA Sports replica game of a karate tournament and every event involved crazy control to simulate the events in question) I also received James Pond #1(this was a horrid EA mascot game that they made 5 or so sequals to about a parody of James Bond set in an underwater world of fish)

 

While neither of us came out ahead I still have a soft spot for both DJ BOY and Budakon....still hate James Pond and all his sequals

I thought of a good one...

Pitfighter

This really is not a good game, it may have been at one point but it has aged bad. I still play it quite a bit though, not sure why I like it. Must be the memories

I love to play Volleyball! on the Odyssey 2. It's nothing like real volleyball but I just seem to love playing it every now and then. I enjoy most games on the Odyssey 2 and that in itself seems to be going against the grain.

I really like Sewer Shark for the 3DO.

 

I always read about how bad it is but i really enjoy it.

Airlock for the 2600.

 

Love the sounds, rising water and the adrenaline rush.

Even love the victory screen.

[DracIsBack]

Baldies on the Jaguar. It's gotten slammed all over the place, but I love it.

.BallBlazer for eht 7800, don't know why, but everybody seems to hate this game

 

I honestly can't remember, in all of my years coming here, anyone ever saying they hated Ballblazer! Had you not had the description, I would have thought you meant to say "Karateka", which is one of the most hated 7800 games.

[superjudge3]

Fight For Life, Kasumi Ninja, and Checkered Flag...all for the Atari Jaguar.

 

Yep, I said it, what are you going do about it?

Glad to see there is someone else that likes Checkered Flag.

 

Me too! I can play any track without crashing! And if I do crash, its usually only once or twice, when I haven't played it in a while.

 

I fail to see why people think this game is so bad...oh wait I know, it's a racing game that has a learning curve!

 

I'd take this game over Virtua Racing any day (except maybe the Saturn version).

[aftermac]

Super Baseball for the 2600.

 

This game hasn't aged well and some argue it was never that great to begin with, but I played this game all the time when I was a kid. I used to make lineup cards, keep score and statistics for all my games, and keep track of seasons... all on paper, of course.

Maybe not, but it is always at the top of the list as a 'donor' cart for it's Pokey when someone wants one for something (and I don't think it's excessively common or anything) But outside of atariage, people outright slame it as being some uber crappy game.

 

Speaking of bad games I like...how about Ground Zero Texas (Sega CD) Lot of people diss this one, but it's my favorite 'CD exclusive' game on there (there's some games I like more, but most are FMV filled ports of Genny games)
