The Mathematical 57 WORST NES GAMES

[@JasonGravesPoser]

I say the wrong number in a few spots.. It's a long story, basically I counted something twice on accident and didn't realize it until late, didn't think to readjust my voice over. Uploaded the video and immediately left town to go on a trip, so I can't fix it.

Its rather unfortunate in a lot of ways. People see AVGN as a reviewer or something, but they themselves have said many times that AVGN is just an exaggerated character that doesn't actually represent their own views about these games. Both have said in the past that they don't think Silver Surfer or Turtles are even actually bad games, I have a feeling Mike Matei likes Friday the 13th as well but I may be wrong.

Home Alone has an infamous speedrun, since you can glitch the Wet Bandits and just chill for 15 minutes until the game ends.

[@QuintusCunctator]

Thanks for this list! It unfortunately highlights a fact: people should stop watching angry / comedic reviews of games and take them at face value. For two main reasons: 1) Those reviews are made to be entertaining, not factual. They will probably exaggerate a lot of details or issues, and will skip boring or mediocre games altogether, since they wouldn't make for good material. 2) Those reviews usually do not explain the context in which the games were published, and as such they usually penalize games that were innovative, or ahead of their time. Critiques are a conundrum in and of themselves, because they can artificially color the public perception of a "product", and even change its legacy and memory. But at the very least, angry / comedic reviews should have the least sway because of their very nature.

[@WillyLee23]

Some of these scores will be inflated, not only because of the "AVGN factor", but also because of the "disappointment factor". For instance, imagine you're the biggest Ghostbusters fan in the world-- you watch the movies every other day, you own most of the toys, watch the cartoon religiously, eat the cereal, etc.-- and then you play Ghostbusters on NES and it breaks your heart into pieces; it's nothing that you wanted a Ghostbusters game to be. I suspect if a game *REALLY* disappointed someone, they're more likely to rank it as "worse" than some forgettable, no-name game that is deservingly worse.

[@SpaceFrog999]

This is absolutely how review scores work, its part of the problem with seeing these scores as “objective”

[@blarghblargh]

​@@SpaceFrog999"objective" game scores are a flawed concept to begin with. Half the video is basically an indictment of the concept.

[@bewill5121]

the results of both this video and the snes one remind me of camwing's video on the few games to recieve the "Overwhelmingly negative" review rating on steam. In order to get an overwhelmingly negative or positive rating, you have to have a minimum number of reviews, so overwhelmingly negative isn't actually populated with the worst games on the platform, those don't get enough players. overwhelmingly negative is mostly full of games from beloved multimedia franchises, and incomplete and abandoned kickstarter games.

Gilligan's Island was a tv show, also much older than the 90s. I was born in 81 and it was before my time even.

[@publichearing8536]

damn so we would need to look for fossilized VHS tapes to find something?

[@MrNoobed]

26:45 gilligans island had so many reruns it was practically after school TV for kids in the late 80s/early 90s

[@bulb9970]

21:09 As someone who is in the know, the problem is that old school shmups like Silver Surfer were difficult purely because of memorization. The game is just a huge beginner's trap with hazards too fast to react, so you have to learn everything through trial and error. But once you know in advance what's supposed to kill you and how to dodge, it's not bad. Getting sent back to a checkpoint on every death is annoying, but even at the time there were shmups like Gradius with far more brutal checkpoints that practically asked you to beat the game without dying once. By the mid 90s, shmups had already evolved to not rely on raw memorization and instead actually push your skills with intricate patterns and complex scoring systems. Silver Surfer has a brutal skill floor and a low skill ceiling, while bullet hells are the opposite. It's not an easy game by any stretch of the imagination, but compared to what shmups have become, it is indeed kind of a meme. Music slaps tho

[@eightcoins4401]

It was a terrible shmup even for the time. It came out 3 years after R-Type. It doesn't do anything interesting or new. It's just a basic af shmup with RECOGNIZABLE IP!!!! paint slapped on. Even for "memorization era" shmups its boring af. But atleast it wasn't weeabo garbage. I like my shmups to be dark and gritty, but nowadays 90% of them are uwu kawaii :3 chinese cartoon trash. Makes them pretty much worthless unless you're a coomer.

[@bulb9970]

@@eightcoins4401 You could say that being able to select your stage route was relatively new for the genre. Yes, it doesn't hold a candle to R-Type, but back then very few games did. Not saying it's a good game, but the points that everyone criticizes it (checkpoints, contact damage, lack of a turbo button) were also present for almost all shmups at the time. And for an 8 bit game, it looks good and sounds amazing. Also, L take for the gritty aesthetics. People don't want to look at the same generic ships and space setting all the time.

In the water stage make sure to switch turtles if you are running low. -Karate Champ: If you know the moves, it's a great 2 player game! I can do the same move 50 times in a row. You're crazy! Moves land at a very specific distance. You have to know which move to do at which distance. 🙂 -Deadly Towers: Totally undeserved hate.

DESTINATION EARTHSTAR is cool, the main song lulls you into a weird trance.

[@-Keith-]

There's no way that Deadly Towers is so much worse than most of the earlier games in the video. I feel like the people who hate-review that game never actually made it to the bell towers to burn the bells, and simply gave up after encountering a few of the (completely optional, mind you) hidden dungeons. With the speed boosting boots + gauntlets and the double shot upgrade, the game actually becomes pretty fun because having those eliminates the biggest pain points of the game (slow movement, slow attack, and 1 sword on the screen at a time).

[@qp773]

This guy gets it, thank you. I get why people get turned off by the game and some of it can really grind on the player. Stuff like the brutal knockback (especially when it knocks you into a dungeon, or room to room inside one) or the music loop that restarts from one screen to the next but once you actually start burning the first of the bells, the more accomplished it feels. And with those upgrades, your arc does just feel a lot better

[@riggel8804]

Tmnt and Friday the 13th are good games. It's weird to see them on this list. I thinks it's because video games are the one form of art criticism where we don't expect our reviewers to have a thorough understanding of the art they are critising. I.e. completeing a game. Imagine a movie review from someone who didn't finish the movie, or an album review from someone who only heard the album once while they were washing the dishes.

About Fester's Quest, it pretty much expects you to grind the gun out and keep it that way. Also in general using the gun too much is a trap, and using it against any of the bosses is a mistake because there's always a significantly more effective alternative whether it be TNT, the Whip, or Seeker Missiles. About Karate Champ, there is logic to the controls. Questionable logic, but logic. To boil it down in as simple of terms as possible, the game considers inputs as Front or Back relative to your current facing, not Left, Right, B, or A. For example if you're White and you press Right and B while facing right, you'll do a Jump. Back Kick and turn around. Now you're facing left. If you press Right and B again, you'll do a Low Kick instead. That's because Jump. Back Kick is always Forward+Back, and Low Kick is always Back+Forward. I also believe that there is a poorly conveyed defense system and that the collision isn't as bad as it seems (mostly in any case), so once you have your head around how inputs work and defense it's perfectly playable. I'm not gonna say exceptionally good or anything like that, but it does work. If you've played Donkey Kong 64 then Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde isn't the only game with speed-up that you've played.

I've been reading old Nintendo power magazines (purchased completely legally as far as anyone is concerned, get off my back, Nintendo lawyers) and I've read quite a few articles and guides and tips for these games, especially Friday the 13th. It certainly gives the decisions of the developers more context. Games didn't have the luxury of explaining themselves back then but with just a little bit of information, everything becomes clearer. All it takes is a little patience, which people had more of in the 80s, unlike today when people want everything NOW.

The ending surprised me. Well played! Can we get at least the list of the only once mentioned games on these lists? Like Mega Man and the one from SeanBaby, please? 48:34 - 49:04: No, that's just wrong! Yes, the platform matters. For example Pac-Man in arcade and on Atari VCS: One is great, the other one is trash. But the standard on NES wasn't higher than on other systems. The C64 Ghostbusters IS a great game and the conversion for the NES is really bad. When it's bad, then it's bad! Also when it's great, then it's great. Period. That doesn't mean, bad NES games are pretty ok compared to other game systems. The "great is just good" could be true for the Jaguar maybe (AvP is great for a Jag game, but would be only pretty good on PS/Saturn/N64) and other systems with less than 100 games. But systems with 300, 800 or thousands of games will have really great and really bad games. So does the NES. Some of the games in this video are great and/or outright classics on 8 bit computers like C64, Spectrum or CPC: Winter Games, Infiltrator, Renegade, Bombjack, Hudson Hawk and the mentioned Ghostbusters. Bad Street Brawler (aka Street Hassle or Bop'n Tumble) is not great, but a nice, funny game. Tag Team Wrestling is considered rather bad, but i liked it on C64 back in the 90s... Others are mediocre to bad also: Top Gun, Total Recall, WWF WrestleMania, Bart vs. The space Mutants, TMNT, Friday the 13th and Karate Champ.
