Top 20 Worst Sega Genesis Games - Kimble Justice

[@andrealves3104]

Man, there's no way a sane person not crack up on laughs upon hearing that 'welcoming' shout from WC Italia 90': BLAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHHHHHHH (yep, it was supposed to be a GOAL! scream)

[@mikematei]

Its amazing Sword of Sodan even got released

[@grantd165]

This channel has been my discovery of the lockdown. It's absolutely brilliant.

[@codylamp6814]

Yeah I've been watching since 2013 and it's still a solid channel after all these years.

[@theycallmedamnation]

I enjoy the fact that shining force was the opening music 😊

[@glhaynes]

Thank you. Love it but ouldn’t place it!

[@miaouew]

Time Killers was a lot more acceptable in the arcades.

[@robmclaughjr]

Otherwise it was a time killer

[@thegreathadoken6808]

You really set the scene perfectly for Rise of the Robots. Almost Life of Brian-esque in your building up of a powerful scene, before destroying the entire thing in hilarious farce. Or farcical hilarity.

[@tonyjonesbassoonwhippet2271]

"It's a pile of fucking shit" 😂😂😂😂

[@dantheaussieatheist9972]

you tell these game stories so well brother I've probably watched about 30 hours of your channel.. love your story telling and observations. keep it up.

[@xanderderrick8357]

"The wanks of the damned" - Thanks, Kimble, for making me spew coffee over my monitor. :)

[@Kim_Justice]

I've done a favourites video already, and I had to do this because as mentioned in the video, KZbin has wrecked the audio on the old one.

[@noteveryoneiscutout]

Appreciate the effort this was very fun

[@SNARC15]

The funny part was I read how Time Killers was originally cancelled, but there was a "fan outcry" about making it come out anyway that it actually was released. My question though is who would have wanted it in the first place?????

[@lonestar6709]

Jeez Kim. For a moment there, I thought you would put the incredible 'Shining Force 2' in, when I heard the music. I was about to get my pitchfork and torch out!

[@Kim_Justice]

I purposefully turned the lisp right up to 11 for that one. :)

[@willeysingleton3057]

Kim Justice love your voice accent and lisp. brings so much character to your videos.

[@howdears2114]

Kim Justice hello Kim . Does ultra man use the same sound affects as streets of rage or are they just really similar? Cheers love from a mere fan man lol

[@adammanderson1995]

Kim Justice hey man stop being so harsh on yourself man was really informative and i enjoy all these vids there really entertaining thank you :)

[@afc-razor-8489]

Kim Justice fuck the lisp your intelligence and knowledge of games are very impressive and I mean very impressive I have watched loads of your videos and everyone of them has had me wanting more. But on to this list I'm up to 15 and I would be very upset if Flicky didn't make it that game was awful lol rise of the robots to and the worse ever was dark castle .

[@michelledubberke7098]

Just found your channel awesome video just subscribed!

[@1goshortplay]

Yep. Had Strider 2 for the spectrum and loved it as to be fair, it didn't feel too much worse than the original on that device (which of course, didn't touch it on the arcade or the Mega Drive. When S2 hit the Mega Drive, I rather enjoyed it as much better than the Speccy version. It didn't occur to me to compare it with the Original on the MD for years. When I did of course, I totes saw why it was so hated. ...Then again, while it doesn't come close to the charms of its predecessor, my history with Strider 2 means I still enjoy it as a mediocre-to-decent-but-very-flawed platformer in its own right. I certainly couldn't bring myself to put it in my bottom 20.

[@burke3gd]

Don't know how I've missed this video until now. You had me in tears, laughing, all the way through. :) Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@1ex1uger-prank-calls]

The Wolverine game is so bad that I literally smashed the plastic case it came in.

[@silver47official]

No you didn't, don't be silly.

[@bricktop.]

[@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial]

Kim-will you go into even further in-depth review of Awesome Possum? Please? I feel that it deserves the penultimately scathing review. If there was one thing that Awesome Possum did help was not the fact of trying to save the environment. Instead, it helped shape Doug Lawrence’s career in voice acting be solidified (he went on to voice Filburt in Rocko’s Modern Life, and most famously Plankton in Spongebob Squarepants). Easily comparable to Lani Manella starting off voicing Bubsy in Bubsy 3D before going on to doing much better.

[@MDthornton83]

Awesome video, Kimble. You did all those crappy games justice. Oh, and I "do" remember the original Rastan arcade game. It was SO much fun to play when it came back in 1987. I used to play that game in the arcades with my brother when it was new. And I think it's a FAR superior game than the atrocious sequel.

[@ShakinJamacian]

"People like shit!" And with that my friend, I am legit subscribing.

[@kingstonlj]

I feel like I'm sinking into despair when I see really bad games being played, and think of the bad memories of playing them back in the day. It's amazes me that professional people would create and release such terrible games. Thanks for an interesting video, despite it making me feel sick.

[@bloodrunsclear]

A Space Quest AND a Police Quest reference? Very cool :D

[@robbiedoblin]

I like time killers! There was a strategy and you still had a chance when you lost limbs. Plus it made sense that you could go back in time a couple minutes in time and you have your limbs back, unlike mortal Kombat

[@RichardCraig]

Lmao at Heavy Nova, cuz that's exactly what my reaction to it was... I saw that intro and was like "this HAS to be good" and then, yeah... the game.

[@ColonelScottMorris]

I like how the timer in Heavy Nova uses a completely different concept of time to the rest of the planet. 1 Heavy Nova Time Unit (HNTU) = 4.5 Earth Seconds. That's some serious sci-fi world-building, there.

[@SupahChannel12]

Have you ever played Ferias Frustradas Pica Pau? (Woody Woodpecker's Frustrating Vacations in English.) I'd say that it makes Awesome Possum look like Sonic 2!

[@TheUKNutter]

17:12 Is that Tommy Cooper? 😂 You've made my day, lmao.

[@TimChuma]

There are still home-brew games coming out for the system but they cost $$$ to get as cartridges. South America still had releases for quite a while.

[@grassulo]

I actually built a small circuit board to slow down my Commodore 64 to PAL speed but output NTSC video you have no idea, EU games ran WAY too fast on an a USA C64 and USA games as you know ran so slow on a PAL one, and I LOVE the C64 it still is my favorite 8 bit system! But PAL Elite on a USA C64 is gorgeous it ran FAST and we loved it so much! :)

[@Vampiregimpmask]

I love your writing, a very Hitchhikers Guide vibe in this episode :]

[@darrenklein6090]

Absolutely hilarious - I need to go to sleep, but I can't stop watching.

[@AumchanterPiLetsPlay]

'...it's a trite and meaningless existence...' made me laugh my drink up.

[@PlayStationPaul]

Damn that catchy music at the start, Shining Force or Phantasy Star if I remember correctly, now it'll be stuck in my head for ages. The bit with Awesome Possum's relentless one liners is funny.

[@animemanXLK]

love that animal court bit. How would you expect a kid to know something like that anyway

[@marcomatos4701]

Can someone tell me the name of the first game shown in this video (at 00:08)?

[@funkyfox2041]

Space Harrier II

[@grassulo]

And Atari took advantage of this and wrote their USA version of Battlezone on european hardware so it runs proper and fast same with Stellar 7 those are a few games you have to use a USA commodore 64 to play as intended and stunt car racer by Epyx originally written for USA c64 and rescue on fractulus written for the faster USA C64.

[@Capydapy]

This video is old af, but it wasn't Infograms fault for Fantasia on the MD. It's was Disney. Infograms wanted more time to get the game right and Disney gave them a very tight deadline to try and get the game out with the Fantasia VHS release.

[@triplestar100]

a terrifying thought just occurred to me: Bubsy's getting a reboot (by Black Forest Studios- who made that fantastic "Gianna Sisters: Twisted Dreams"- no less!)... what if some studio becomes emboldened or desperate, or worse yet; STUPID enough to try their hand at an "Awesome Possum" reboot? I shudder hard just thinking about it!

[@CarozQH]

The sad thing is that a german video game mag gave Awesome Possum a "Good" with 67%.What was the guy who wrote that article smoking?!

[@megamarsonic]

+CarozQH Probably the bribe money he got from the developers of the game.

[@eightcoins4401]

Probably played too many eurojank platformers

[@Steve-tk9pv]

Dark Castle for the C64 was good. The controls were odd but it was a challenging game and had interesting puzzles. I was excited for the Sega version but soon found how bad it was.

[@danielmccormick700]

Is the original version of Kim's worst Sega list available online anywhere? I never got to see them, and I'm curious what his list looked like before.

[@Alianger]

Heavy Nova does have an OST worth checking out, if you're into the space funk.

[@DreFromMaine8472]

I've never played Wolverine Adamantium Rage but I want to. To see for myself how bad it is. The graphics look all right but it's gameplay is what's really terrible. However it does have several Game Genie codes to make it easier to get through. So I'll do that sometime!

[@patricklonergan3]

He's wight. Wise of the wobots was wubbish.

[@michaelmartin9022]

Haha, I still have an old Sega Power issue with a review of Rise of the Robots, it was hilarious. Apparently there was also a review embargo, nobody was allowed to write about it until it was already out... always a sign of quality.

[@alienspacebat5218]

10:32 You Fool. You Think You Can Defeat The Master? You Can Never Win... HAHAHAHA

[@scottspencer6036]

Craig Stadler saying "You're godamn right" is the highlight 23:12

[@fluffibuni8663]

I played Awesome Possum the other day and had to reboot it just to convince myself there hadn't been a problem when the game loaded into memory ... nope, it was even worse second time lol

[@redavatar]

Throwing woks at the enemy really is evil! I mean, a game like this, really needs a wokthrow - how else will you get to the end!

[@xxFORDIExx]

Been bingeing Kim's videos for the last couple of weeks. Brilliant discovery. Keep it up, you are fantastic.

[@d1skarnate]

What is the music you used for each transitional screen?

[@Kim_Justice]

I love the intro theme - it's so 80's and Genesis-y (as in Phil Collins). I'd rather have the Mega Drive's version than the one on Mega CD w/ vocals and such.

[@billybollockhead5628]

Does rastan 2 video go blank for others?

[@juliab1954]

Yes

[@HAAHVVAAVV]

If posted this before but i still think you could do videos focusing on forgotten game developer companies, it has some potential for a unique series.

[@liammccallum7386]

Having only found this channel recently I've been enjoying these videos Mr Justice. So many memories from childhood

[@StrobeFlashLite]

What's that intro music? I quite like it.

[@RichardCraig]

Likewise, I recognize it very distinctly but can't place it... Someone please help, cuz now it's going to drive me crazy!

[@Kim_Justice]

Richard Craig I can't remember exactly what it is, but it's from one of the Shining Force games.

[@big-g1980]

Kimble Justice its from shining force 2 its from the first town as soon as you start the game one of the best rpgs ever released

[@RichardCraig]

Ah-ha! I forget that I played that game a good bit way back in the day before I realized I didn't like strategy RPGs, so I haven't played it since but still remember a lot of the music. It's a shame I hate the battle system, cuz otherwise it is an excellent RPG.

[@NickNackItaliano777]

Shining Force II, one of my favourite games of all time! Sadly the ending is horribly and wrongly done in my opinion but it definitely doesn't put me off this classic though :)

[@VOAN]

Sorry Awesome Possum but you're not awesome, not when we already had an awesome opossum name Sparkster.

[@eightcoins4401]

Tbh i still am disapointed Sparkster looks nothing like an Opossum. He looks closer to an Armadillo without the shell.

[@SweatPantsJoe]

I got Techno Cop as a mystery cart. Needless to say I wish I had left it a mystery.

[@nottheone79]

Anyone else notice some blank/black screen sections in the video or is it just me? Take a look at the Rastan part for example.

[@dunique]

The death animation in Techno Cop reminds me a bit of Death Wish III, on the ZX Spectrum.

[@genocidic]

shortening your sign off - unacceptable kimble! (great vid as always)

[@ChristinaGXL]

Italia 90 has some of the best sound effects! What else can you score 400 a side on?

[@MsCholmondley-Warner]

Loving the use of 'Expander' from Streets of Rage 2 in between entries ;-)

[@KaskelotenZebbe]

Nightmare Circus is still my number one. Awesome Possum at least seems playable and almost so bad it's good, so you can have SOME entertainment out of it. That's impossible with Nightmare Circus, it's just depressing.

[@wrestletube1]

21 minutes in is just the WWF WrestleMania game but without the official wrestling licence.

[@crimsonflame2k]

When you mentioned Strider, I thought you were talking about the first one. But then that unofficial 2nd one came up. Thank goodness I never tried that one out.

[@jvcdeadmoney]

Stormlord looks cool. If I had seen just a longplay of that game, I bet I would've bought it but now I'm not so sure I should. It reminds me of Chakan, which is a great game by the way.

[@Minority119]

actually, the PC version of Time Killers had some pretty impressive tech for the game, like parallax scrolling backgrounds and the like

[@NotaPizzaGRL]

I thought Time Killers was only an arcade game. When did it get a PC port?

[@jcjaff571]

AHHHHH!!!! I never could remember the name of the Mickey game I used to play when I was 5. Never got past the first level either. It still manifests in my nightmares from time to time

[@ccateni28]

why was their no video for some of 19?

[@ExtremeWreck]

ccateni 28 Because the game is too godawful to look at.

[@TheInfiniteMiseryJumper]

A Space Quest reference! My childhood salutes you Kim 😄

[@wexenhex]

The Wolverine game I think is misunderstood. I find it quite good! If you actually learn the controls, which only took me about 5mins, then I was kicking ass! Quite surprised how agile Wolverine is, I did not have the trouble you did

[@KingGameReview]

No DJ Boy? Now THAT's a terrible game.

[@darklordcthulhu7231]

Rise of the Robots is a fantastic lesson in game design. It's everything that Streetfighter isn't. Edit: And a light year from anything Yu Suzuki ever did.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Dark Castle should definitely be number one, or at least be in the top 3.

[@afc-razor-8489]

kenterminatedbygoogle Flicky was the worse it was terrible. And Italia 90 lol

[@KingGameReview]

Awesome Possum isn't THAT bad. I've played far worse games than that game. I had some amount of fun with that game.

[@auritone]

Played Sword of Sodan recently on the Amiga, and though it was never a good game it was still miles better than the Megadrive port. What really impressed me was the use of ambient sound which creates quite a cool atmosphere, and the game has a replay feature so you can watch your game play. Technically very impressive.

[@tdark987]

I think there is a very good reason why the Heavy Nova intro looks as good as it does... Have a look at 23:24, 23:37, and finally 23:43. Does that character look somewhat familiar to anyone? Yeah, I’d say they plagiarised it. I’m amazed they didn’t get a shitstorm from Nintendo over this.

[@jpdlpokedigi10]

Isn't dark castle even worse on the CD-i?

Was thinking the same thing...

Zool is as uncontrollable as Awesome Possum, but nobody seems to care. To me Battle Squadron is impossible to win, at all. That makes it one of the worst. Also Mick&Mack with no improvements and the same walkthrough strategy for the whole game. No bombs, no automatic fire, no power raising up. I wonder why everybody around loves them.
