Episode Notes:
1. Arena and Flying Edge were divisions of Acclaim. They had multiple developers and brands under their umbrella back then.
2. Most of these games were not released worldwide. Usually some region was left out. Typically Europe and/or Japan.
3. I worded the title of this video quite carefully. I wanted this to be my list, not a general bashing of the worst games for the Genesis. I realize some people my love these games on a level I never could, so I applied it directly to being my opinion.
4. The opening segment included some games initially on my list, but I cut it back to 10 to make the video an acceptable runtime. Other games I really dislike are Techno Cop and Strider Returns.
5. I subjected my daughter to some of these games while capturing. She came away in disbelief that games could be this bad and cost $50. She said, and I quote, "I thought some mobile games were bad. Yikes."

Something crazy though, the Amiga version is arguably the best version of the game out there. They had access to the code for the arcade version and removed a bunch of the stupid crap that was on there. Only issue was that it didn't have music in the levels which was annoyingly common with the Amiga.

I understand some of the criticisms but at least in this video I didn’t see the man block...not even once. You can’t play that game and not block. At least that’s what I remember about it it was many years ago, but mastered it. You have to block, and it’s got its own kind of rhythm to it.

Also, it's a pre-SF2 fighting game. All pre-SF2 fighting games are terrible, as far as I know. The Genesis has others. Budokhan was also a pre-SF2 fighting game ported from PC, and it is very bad. And Street Smarts, which was a pre-SF2 arcade game. Also terrible. There's also no shortage of bad post-SF2 fighting games on Genesis, like Rise of the Robots and Time Killers.

Target Earth was very hard at the beginning, I'm pretty sure that first escort mission caused a lot of people to give up on it. When you get past it, the game opens up. Your Mech gets more abilities, weapons, armor etc... it is very limited in that first stage. Definitely understand that it could be someone's least favorite; it took me a good while before getting past the first stage, plenty of other games out there that didn't frustrate as much.

Me: "He's STARTING with Batman Forever? What the Hell is worse than that?" Me as this video went on: "Oh... oh, no, that's right. Oof I must have blocked that one from my memory because I forgot it existed and, yeah, Holy crap that game is horrible." I respect that you don't want to bash these games and disrespect the people who made them. Merely pointing out mistakes and flaws. I feel the same way about movies. With the exception of modern ones because they are in your face that their agenda not artistic vision is what they care about. But I love a lot of old movies and B-movies and if I can see passion in the project I'll usually look past anything wrong with it. However there are movies that are clearly cash grabs or the actors are phoning it in or the director clearly has no clue what they are doing where I must conclude it's a terrible film.

I think a fair amount of effort went into Terminator 2, it was somewhat different to other action games on the system at the time, perhaps the high difficulty let it down, I found it way more pleasurable than Last Action Hero and Robocop 3 from around the same time for example. A lot of the time it seems like good ideas are hampered by a technologic ceiling.

I still remember playing Dark Castle on my dad's Macintosh. It was in black and white(despite being on a color monitor) and, at the time, there was just nothing like it on the Mac. It's slightly less irritating to play on the Mac just due to the mouse being used to aim your rock throwing. All the sound effects are still there, and the quirks like getting dizzy, running into a wall, tripping, etc, etc. I feel like if they completely retooled the game as a platformer instead of trying to port the Mac version as accurately as possible, it may have been saved...

I have never been as disappointed in a Genesis game as I was in that Terminator 2 game. Should have been a slam dunk. Aside from the points you talked about, there were three things in the game that really upset me. First, the game has an overworld map, but there were no chase scenes against the T-1000 - no tow truck, no helicopter, not even the tanker hauling liquid nitrogen. Second, the final boss was the T-1000 transforming into a giant lava monster. Third, if you beat the game (or if Sarah or John die), the Terminator just teleports BACK to the future. No, SLX, I'm pretty sure the developer never saw a single frame of the movie.

I don't know where all the Sega T2 hate comes from. Spread like wildfire youtube. I rented it back in the day and was surprised how close to the film it was. I thought Arnold's sprite and sprite animation looked cool. I wonder what gaming mags back in the day, like GamePro, rated this. I'm willing to bet it wasn't hated when it was released.

T2 gets too much unnecessary hate. Far from perfect, but is close to the film unlike many, many licensed games. Driving parts were a serious nightmare, though, lol. I always appreciate when devs choose to nix the hopping and bopping for games that have a character that isn't meant to do that, e.g. Robocop for NES, T2 for Sega. Not every 2D sidescroller's meant to have platforming jumping.

Man those were some stinkers. I agree on all of your picks, except Batman Forever. That game also started with a bad impression but somehow I persisted and kept on trying, figuring out new moves and what the items did and as I got better, so did my opinion of the game. It was hard as balls but worth the investment.

Heck the producer actually admitted that it sucked really bad. It had downright design problems, I'd call them glitches. Not only were the enemies much faster than they should be, there is a delay between a button input and it actually taking effect in the game. This made me extremely confused as to whether killing enemies by bouncing on them was a thing, since it often didn't work and only sometimes worked. This was due to the input lag where you had to press the jump button again in mid air to be able to bounce on enemies, but the lag made it so that if the enemy was very close when you do so, you'd land on them and take damage. Without being able to bounce on them, that left only the very limited magic as a means to kill enemies. The game was, to me at that time, one where you had to avoid all these fast moving enemies and make your way to the end of the stage. Not what I would call fun.

Getting to play as the freaking T-800 in a side scrolling game that followed the movie?! OH YES!... Oh no. I never got past level 1. I think I gave up on the game when I realized you needed to collect future objects, which contradicts the movie, contradicts how the time travel mechanic works, and contradicts the very idea of what a Terminator is!
