This is called a Meta-analysis when you compile several studies and combine them to examine their findings as a whole. It's the most powerful type of research paper. Did one as paper of my dissertation. It shows a more concrete reality through larger sample sizes and it rules out a lot of the fuzz and errors from individual research projects.

I've noticed over the years that because of the rotten Home Alone games on the NES and SNES that a lot of folks have no idea that there was an actual good tie-in game for it on the Genesis developed by SEGA themselves. You defend 5 houses in the neighborhood from the Wet Bandits within a set time limit and it has a weapon crafting system. On normal mode they always go in the same order, on hard mode it's non-linear and you have to try to stay ahead of the Bandits to see which house they'll go to next. You get a finite amount of traps from the movie you can use and each house has a hazard that can harm both the Bandits and the player, like there's a futuristic house with a patrolling security robot. It deviates a lot from the plot to just make a fun game.

I don't think Ballz was a joke game. I think it was a tech demo. They were hoping that this would become the future of 3D, and it does fake 3D really well, and became the immensely popular Petz series. Unfortunately it didn't become the future of 3D due to the inconvenient rise of a competing technology: actual 3D.

Nobody seems to UNDERSTAND Ballz... They were looking for a way to make 3D fighting games possible on a 16 bit machine. It's like Virtua Fighter or Tekken: You can dodge enemy attacks by going "up" or "down". And because Genesis and SNES couldn't render complex polygons they put the fighters together of easier to render balls. I have the game for Mega Drive (me being from europe), but haven't played it for many years. Don't remember it being really bad though... "Tell Santa you want Ballz for christmas!" 😀

One thing I don't like about these worst lists is that they don't reach far enough. They rarely cover import games, and if they do, only the infamous ones. I don't look at most of them and really think that they are actually all that experienced. It makes sense that the imports are where you'll find most of the worst games because bad games are the ones that usually don't make it anywhere else. There's also the fact that different regions of the same game vary in quality. I think that the PAL version of Dragon's Lair on the NES is a huge improvement over the other two. There's also the opposite- localizations that dumb the game down, cut content, and overall make it worse, and that you'd have a much greater opinion of if you played the original. The majority of PAL versions of games, unlike NES Dragon's Lair, are like this, as well as being slower than the ones in North America or East Asia. There's also the inverse where the American version of Sensible Soccer on Genesis is too fast compared to the MegaDrive version which makes it less playable. And yes, there is that bias towards disappointing games within big franchises or ones they were just tricked into buying when they were younger and would have known better more recently, which are still not great but hardly the worst.

Apparently not nearly enough people played REAL bad SNES games like Lagoon, Robocop 3 and D-Force. Not worse than the infamous worst 2--very deserving of their spots--but there are many, many worse games than most of this collection that somehow escaped people's notice. D-Force in particular is the worst SHMUP on the console, FAR worse than Super R-Type (and Darius Twin! Which is great!) which I noticed in one of the lower tiers, and does just about everything a SHMUP does wrong. In most SHMUPs, you get your powerups by killing enemies that die in one hit, or at worst, defeating a small group (5-6) of enemies you one-shot with your weakest gun. Not so in D-Force. The powerup-dropping enemies are big planes that are TANKS, requiring at least 5 seconds of continuous fire from your level 1 gun to take down, who also spawn AoE shots at you. There's way too much enemy and bullet spam for a SNES SHMUP, which is exacerbated by the fact that you're concentrating on destroying the powerup enemies so you can upgrade your feeble gun. The boss battles usual take 10-15 minutes, because not only are they as bad of bullet sponges as you'll see in any SHMUP, they have long periods of invulnerability where all you can do is dodge. You only spend about 20% of the boss battle actually attacking them. And there's more, but that should suffice for an image of how bad it is. D-Force should be required play for any game designer to learn how NOT to make a video game.

The horribly stiff controls and lack of combos, combined with the obviously corny premise, made it a regular on magazine & early Internet worst lists. The AVGN definitely helped carry that forward to future generations, though.

I'm curious how you made this list, like what program did you use to tender the pillers. There are many games that I don't agree with being on here, and I fully agree with you about Shaq-Fu being the most over hated game of all time. I actually, and oddly, like Lester the Unlikely. What people miss, like you said, was it's a cinematic platformer. Similar to Out of This World, and Prince of Persia. The catch is, the longer you play the game, the more responsive he becomes. Going from scared and hunched over to standing up straight.. etc etc. As for games like Race Driving, it was a port of an arcade game of the same name by Atari. Fun fact, the Genesis and Gameboy versions run better than the SNES version. Stuff like Dracula X, Mystic Quest, Rival Turf and a few others don't even deserve to be in the same discussion as many of these games. Hong Kong 97 shouldn't even be listed, while it is a game, like you said it's not a real release.

@paxhumana2015 2 ай бұрын
...except that Rival Turf, Castlevania: Dracula X, Hong Kong 97, and those other video games that are legitimately bad ARE bad for very valid reasons, and, as for Doom, and Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, well, first of all, the SNES/NSFC port of Doom was handled by a small team that had to literally rebuild the PC port of the video game from scratch, including the graphics, and the music, which many people feel is, gasp, SUPERIOR to the MIDI PC music, despite the limitations of an SNES/NSFC. Second, that port of Doom was one of the ports of the video game that had one of the shortest times of development ever (though not as brief as the Panasonic 3DO, Atari Jaguar, or Sega 32X ports of the video game). Third, Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest was not even actually a Final Fantasy game in Japan. Fourth, the game is good, albeit a bit too easy, in the Incantation sort of way, but it's an okay runner-up to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/BS Zelda: The Ancient Stone Tablets. Fifth, and lastly, were it not for the bad hit detection, delayed enemy deaths, horrible story, especially its original NTSB-J version, and gratingly mediocre, and repetitive, music, then Rushing Beat/Rival Turf would be a better video game than it is now (and yet that video game has made three increasingly better sequels of improving quality, with the next one being on modern platforms).

Most major magazines had entire issues dedicated to the thing. One of the reasons it tend to appear high on "worst games ever" lists; when you're putting out a crap game, the worst thing you can do is couple it with a marketing campaign that make it sound like the greatest game ever.

This was a great video. I rarely subscribe based on a single video, but I think I'll do it this time because I really liked your presentation. I had no idea you could do this kind of thing with Google Earth. Yeah, there's definitely some wonkiness to it but I like the general look of it all. I also appreciate the concept you used for this video and the mathematical approach. My brain likes numbers so this was especially enjoyable to see you talk through, even if I disagreed with a lot of what these lists had concluded. 😂 But that's video games in a nutshell, everyone disagrees.

Fun story (to me about Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball: I do annual ROM updates of R.B.I. Baseball, Tecmo Super Bowl and Ken Griffey MLB on NES and SNES. For the last 4 years, I've had a ROM update of Combat Basketball 2 in development limbo (I work on it between other projects). The teams featured are modern "evil" companies, such as Meta, Google, Pfizer and others while utilizing AI of NBA players (not just Bill Laimbeer).

My takeaway is that while numbers are a nice quick and dirty way to offer an assessment of the aggregate data at a glance, they don't dig down to the nuance of what makes any of these games stand out as crappy and why we assess games that are higher/lower differently than the data shows when doing a more focused critique. That being said, it is always fun to look at different ways to evaluate games. It would've been fun to see you compare this assessment to the results compiled by an A.I. and then critique it's critique.

@@marcusbullock630 , the game controlled like a s s, and it STILL does on the Castlevania Advance Collection. Konami, and its associates, knew that couldn't happen a second time, so they literally rebuilt Haunted Castle from the ground up in its Castlevania sequel collection of Castlevania Dominus Collection. Quit trying to justify polishing a turd, you dimwitted troll.

I don't wanna spoil number 1 on the list for anyone that hasn't watched yet, but you can see it coming a mile away. Truly worthy of being the worst. I tried playing this game so many times in the hope that it'd get better, but alas, it's awful. And it's a shame because the source material was amazing to look at and kind of fun at the time.

I recently discovered your channel and like your videos, so naturally I have to use my first time ever commenting on KZbin to complain about something with one of them. It appears that the C.R.A.P. score formula you're using is actually 100/((Y/X)*(1+(1/X))), not 100/((X/Y)*(1+(1/X))) as displayed. The latter formula gives a score of 650 for Megaman Soccer, not 3.84!
