BillyHW Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The AVGN says it's LJN on the NES. But I say it was THQ on the SNES. Does anyone else remember the awfulness of Pit-Fighter on the SNES? What are your picks for worst developer/publisher in a given era? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ventrra Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 In Japan, Pack-in Video made the worst on pretty much every system they made games for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Usotsuki Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 LJN, better known as Acclaim, was hit or miss. Most of their LJN stuff was garbage but their Midway arcade ports were generally excellent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogamer73 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm going to go with LJN, and I do remember Pit Fighter on SNES it sucked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Mythicon! Absolute worst Games I have ever played ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'll toss in with LJN as well, along with Acclaim. Ever play Total Recall on the NES? 'Nuff said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800Lover Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I second Color Dreams! What was up with Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr3vor Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Color Dreams for sure. have you seen RoboDemons? one word: "uugh" LJN has nothing on Color Dreams. Edited March 12, 2012 by Tr3vor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I vote for Ocean. I don't think I own or ever wanted to own anything they did, which was usually crapped-out movie license games. Rare, just look at Taboo Gonna have to disagree with you on that one. I don't know what they were thinking with Taboo but Rare made great games and didn't seem afraid to try different things. Wizards and Warriors, RC Pro-Am Racing, Cobra Triangle, Battletoads...good stuff. Captain Skyhawk was a little clunky but it had its merits. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add A Nightmare on Elm Street, Snake Rattle & Roll, Ironsword, the port of Marble Madness, Battletoads & Double Dragon, and the list goes on, and on, and on.. They were an amazing developer house in their day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr3vor Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Agreed! Add A Nightmare on Elm Street.... Wasn't that LJN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Wasn't that LJN? LJN published it, but Rare developed it. Something else to keep in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Whatever crap Rare might have done, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark more than make up for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Akklaim pumped out games without originality. Case in point their Terminator 2 game, which I tried on the PC. It was terrible. It was simply out to make money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I heard that THQ made some respectable games in later generations too, but I have trouble believing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 THQ is a pretty recognizable name today. Back in the SNES days though, not so much. Not in a good way, at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800Lover Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 At least the SNES version of Pit-Fighter was playable. Has anyone ever played the Game Boy port? A tiny black and white screen is NOT the place to show off digitized graphics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I just had the extreme pleasure of playing Pit Fighter on the SNES today...total crap. So, a solid port? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
