Funny thing about the Time Killers Genesis port: the reason it came out so late in the Genesis's life and looked so bad, is because Sega shelved it three years earlier for being "too explicit". The original plan was that the port needed to work on both the Genesis *and* the -Megadrive- Master System, no graphics upgrades. Thus, you have an 8-bit fighting game released exclusively on a 16-bit console near the very end of its life-cycle. Go figure

[@Mrstevemoore]

In Japanese they have a term for games that go far beyond normal shittiness: "densetsu no kusoge" ("game of legendary shittiness").

[@Mindflayer_Inc]

Is that like the Super Duper Saiyan of shitty games?

Fun fact: Japan even hold a annual prize for kusoges, called Kusoge of the Year(KOTY), which the internet nominate one console game, one handheld game, and two dating sims to be the worst kusoge of that year.
