Kim Justice's Top 100 WORST Games Ever Made

Re: Bebes Kids it was the late Robin Harris, not Richard Pryor.

[@michaelcurtis7590]

Beat me to the punch

[@frankmetts3660]

Actually a sad story Harris died of a heart attack at the age of 36 in 1990, this was suppose to be his first leading role after a few years playing supporting roles in popular comedies.. when he passed bebes kids was only in preproduction so he didn’t even get to see any aspect of his creation come to life or let alone voice himself in the movie... I believe faizon love who does a dead ringer impersonation of Robin Harris is the one who voiced Robin’s character.

[@freakishuproar1168]

I still can't accept that I live in a universe where they made a game adaptation of _Auf Wiedersehen, Pet_ for the Spectrum. It's not that I disapprove of course. It's just that the deeper layers of my mind, the layers beneath mundane consciousness and objective perception, refuses to accept that this isn't a lurid manifestation of my anarchic inner dreamscape, that has somehow inexplicably superimposed itself on Kim Justice's channel. EDIT: I heard you mention Scarfolk on the Bionic Granny entry. Nice to see you are a fellow hauntology-head Kim! :D

[@lasskinn474]

I'm slightly disappointed they didn't make platformer out of "keeping up appearances", maybe as a collect-a-thon of buckets or something to get an invitation to the priests tea meetup or something.

Kim, just want to reiterate that your video game and computer documentaries are some of the best ever. I will revisit from time to time a lot. I didn't grew up in the UK or the 80s for that matter but I find most of your documentaries fascinating. I learned so much and the content is both great, long and insightful. I swear sometimes I feel like I grew up with UK micros as a result of them even though I never did. 😂

Loving this so far (about 25 minutes in), but a little correction: Bebe's Kids was based on a routine by Robin Harris, not Richard Pryor. He sadly died of a heart attack right as he was starting to get popular.

[@manrae]

Yeah, he was fearless and a very funny comedian

The game is actually based off of an animated movie which is based off of Robin Harris’ routine.

It should be mentioned, on Disney's Fantasia, it was a game that never should have been made... Literally, it was made illegal by Disney to make any game under the Fantasia title. It was solely a mistake made, because no one was paying attention until the game actually came out, that the game was made at all.

Glad you have kept to your usual style and chosen to omit the obvious stuff we're all tired of hearing about.

[@steuph1976]

I have to say, Fantasia has ONE redeeming quality : its attempt to render Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring through the Megadrive FM chip. This is a game I bought when it came out. Along with Sonic, thinking "this is going to be the new Castle of Illusion". Hopefully Sega did Quackshot after that.

[@neat3468]

41:07 lol. I had this on the CPC464 as a kid and loved it, I even completed it as well. You forgot to mention the "driving stage" on the way to the bowling alley.

Use of the Irish expression there "beyond the plale" Kim, Thanks for the vids, Nollaig shona

[@thesaintirl]

@Grant Kerr certainly it originates in the English language, but it clearly relates to Ireland as you support. Many words and expressions in modern English have their roots in Irish or Ireland, beyond the pale being just one. Mind you I have never heard of it used in a pejorative sense, maybe you have an example? you mention “craic”, from what do you believe it originates my friend? I have never heard any alternative of its origination? Another example is “it’s smashing” an anglicisation from the Irish “is maith sinn” literally means, I like that. The pronunciation of “is maith sinn” and “its smashing” almost being identical. Gaelic languages predate most European languages it is only natural we share expressions and words.

You cheated by treating _Cassette 50_ as one entry! ;-) That aside, as a fan of the Amstrad CPC, it was no great surprise to see _Bridge-It_ and _Count Duckula 2_ included in your list. _Bridge-It_ in particular is a long-running joke on two of the KZbin streams that I watch regularly (CPC fans will know which ones I mean). I've played and reviewed more than my fair share of terrible CPC games over the last 20-odd years and the CPC versions of most of the ZX Spectrum games in this list are just as staggeringly awful, if not worse!

[@8_Bit]

I'm surprised that you're calling the Amiga a "European system" in the same way that (indisputably) the ZX Spectrum is. Many of us here in Canada and in the USA went from the C64 to the Amiga 500 and that was our gaming platform from 1988 to sometime in the 1990s, eventually jumping onto MS-DOS or in my case, hanging on until Windows 95. For a time the Amiga was absolutely mainstream here; we had multiple Amiga magazines on the newsstand, and you could walk into K-Mart and buy an Amiga and a bunch of games. My city of 100,000 people had several independent computer stores that sold Amiga; I worked for one of them. Just bringing this up in an attempt to counter this misconception about the Amiga in North America. Now, time for me to watch the 100 WORST Games Ever Made :)

[@Kim_Justice]

It's an odd thing, really. I guess it's because that the path the Amiga took in Europe was so different to how it took in the US...not necessarily in terms of pure sales, but because the different wings of Commodore at these times feel like different companies -- everything goes nice and smoothly at the European divisions of Commodore, whereas chaos reigns in the US and all the awesome engineers just get screwed endlessly by the folks in the boardroom. Commodore's central HQ wasn't ever really right after Tramiel got fired, certainly not up top.
