- Whether they're guilty pleasures or games that are "so bad they're good", almost every gamer has some games that they think are bad but still enjoy anyways. In this video I talk about why these types of games are so special to us as well as how they become to be.

As a disclaimer, Altered Beast and Daytona USA (Saturn) are the closest games I have to what I'd personally call "bad but I still enjoy". So, apologies if anybody loves them and is offended. I love them too!
Fondly remember Daytona USA in the arcades, but I had never seen the Sega Saturn game. Just watched a few minutes on TH-cam.. yikes, that's a totally great bad game!
He’s, the, retro bird, and he’s talking, talking about video games!
I love Vurtual Bart on SEGA Guenusis , it's not a good game but I injoy it. and am very nistalgic for it.
I imported Daytona Usa Circuit Edition from Japan and that version was done really well. I highly recommend it if you get the chance. It has all the updates while allowing access to the original music and closer to the original controls.
Are we gonna have a 10K subscriber giveaway? If so you should give away Daytona or Altered Beast. Just a thought.
Jersey Devil on the PS1. That game’s camera works against you and the controls are almost as bad but there was a demo of it that came with my PlayStation so I played it all the time. I still remember convincing my friend to jump down a random pit, promising him that a bonus area awaited and then being shocked when there really was a bonus area down that pit.
🤣 lol thats like the time my friend told me to try this special chocolate it tastes good he said mmm and everything.
I tried it and it was one of the worst tasting foods I've ever had 🤣
I haven't played it since I was a kid but I remember loving Jersey Devil.
@@kbotmac5960 it’s a good game!
18 wheeler on dreamcast, I absolutely hammered that game to death and back!!! Unlocked all 3 mystery trucks . Love it
I got NBA showdown for Super Nintendo for Christmas. It was an EA game that had Michael Jordan in the roster. I absolutely hated it but I still play it. My friend who was a diehard Bulls fan loved it so much he traded Zelda link to the past for it. No regrets on that trade. That was my first Zelda 😂
The Daytona USA attack made me laugh. Now that’s a game with personality. Thanks for making my day! Great video as always.
My man, I loved Daytona! I feel like that game was around for a decade!
It's a good one! Was huge in the arcades.
Back in the saturn era it was used to judge another racing games. Like mario for nes/snes platformers
Mystic Quest on the SNES, it was my first introduction to turn based RPGs, and I fell in love with it. I still play through it every few years.
Heck yeah! It gets a bad rap, but it got me into rpgs as well!
I enjoy getting my mum to pick stuff for me, her judgement is truly awful. She came back with Harry Potter Quidditch on GameCube when I was about 13, I remember thinking oh my god I'm too old for this, I freaking love that game 🤣
I also loved that game when i was younger, it was surprisingly decent and enjoyable
Quidditch World Cup is repetitive but otherwise pretty good in my eyes
Absolutely love these videos! They always seem to come up just before I go to sleep. Love it! Keep up the good work. Hilarious :)
Hopefully that results in a good night's rest!
Congrats on almost 10k!
Thank you. Yeah, almost there.
Ta-Mania and Taz in Escape From Mars for the Genesis. Yes, they're not great but nostalgia is a heck of a drug...and the cartoon was awesome!
I’ve actually read the manual to E.T. I played it and it was actually fun once I really understood how it worked. It blew my mind!
It’s a very misunderstood game. It’s better than over half of the 2600’s library and kind of paved the way for collectathon adventure games.
I got the catridge only and never understood how to play it.
Randomly falling in a pit and stretching my neck to float out... i needed that manual
@@jeffcourty6321 You can find the manual online today! :)
Some of my favourite Nes games are deadly towers , hydlide , super pitfall and back to the future
Back to the Future is definitely Stockholm Syndrome!
Hydlide has no business being as fun as it is.
I like Bart VS the World, Ghostbusters, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I even played a lot of Legend of Kage. I was surprised to find out that people like AVGN hated it.
Super Pitfall, yikes! I remember my best buddy blowing his entire birthday cash on this stinker back in the day. I still wear the scars of that event and it wasn’t even me!
@@SgtSega Bart's Nightmare for me on SNES. Actually bought that game full price because I loved Simpsons so much. The overworld is terrible and the rest of it is just some pretty below average minigames. But I played the hell out of it because the only other games I owned were F-Zero and Super Mario World.
Shout out to Eddy's "golden" controller!
I like Penny Racers and Monster Truck Madness for N64. Far from stellar experiences but I like them nonetheless.
I loved Penny Racers as a kid! Nobody else seems to know about it. Still looking to re-acquire a copy to confirm if it was really any good. I remember the cars handling very oddly but they were alright once you got used to them. And I loved how you could upgrade your cars and change parts between races to prepare for whatever course was next.
Road Trip Adventure on PS2 is part of the Penny Racers series and it's one of the best gems I found on PS2!
I confess... I like Daytona USA (Saturn ver.) too... Keep doing this type of videos! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
A game I think is bad but still enjoy? Sonic 3D Blast. I still think it's an interesting older Sonic game that was may be a bit too ambitious for its own good. Still enjoyed traversing the levels.
I'll also throw in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 for Game Boy Color. Less so for being bad and more so for its sheer lack of content. But it's still fun for me to try those race courses on occasion.
I bought sonic 3s blast from blockbuster when they were selling off their genesis games, i liked it back then but it mostly collects dust these days
I got Sonic 3D Blast for PC from Jack in the Box and I ended up liking it and has a great soundtrack
I noticed you had the Daytona USA soundtrack gently caressing our ears in the background
Oh yes! Perhaps one of the most epic and entertaining soundtracks ever.
@@RetroBirdGaming It's a great one. I think my vote might go to Sonic R though
The part where you went out of character with anger was really funny
I misread this as "Games you are bad at but still enjoy". I had a whole list of SHMUP's ready.
I still go to the store and sometimes just buy a game based on the box art and back of the box lol. Well if it's not too expensive at least. It's fun seeing if it's good or not with no knowledge of reviews and things
I once bought Narc for the nes because it was the only game I could afford. It took me a great while to like
Sometimes there are games i know are terrible but i have memories and i want them just for the nostalgia. Sometimes my game store would sell an snes game for 8 bucks id buy just as a filler game. To this day they arent amazing but i smile seeing them: waynes world snes, cool spot, karate kid nes, friday the 13th nes, yo noid. Wrestlemania for nes. Just to name a few.
Dinowarz-nes, great baseball sms, pit fighter… many others!
I like all three of those.
Pit Fighter is crap. Especially the lynx version. Though I did manage to enjoy that once sort of so good example for me at least.
box art was a HUGE influence on me on choosing which game to play. Followed by magazine and TV ads.
Same here. TH-cam vids have made this a whole lot better....I just look at a full walkthrough of games now..It'll show me what I like or don't like...Whatever is more heavy either on the good or bad then I decide to buy or not buy.
I think as long as the game isn't completely broken and it's playable then it could be someones favorite game
Quarantine on 3do it’s horrifically bad and I absolutely love it
College Slam was always a favorite of mine. I always considered it “bad” because it was a ripoff of NBA Jam and nowhere near as good, but it was the basketball game I owned growing up, so I can’t help but love it!
I always loved the cover art on it also
@@immitationstation3369 I thought I was the only one! 😊
The cover art for that game always sticks in my head.
Love that game
I've got that echo dolphin game in mind. I don't know if I ever found out how to make it very far, but I swam around for hours.
Double Dribble for the NES is my Stockholm syndrome game. The AI of your teammates was bad, the menu was cool but took forever, but man do I love that dunk animation / "cut-scene."
Lunar Legend on the GBA. Mainly because it was the first Lunar game I played. It didn't have the cutscenes, or voice acting that made the previous ones stand out. It was also way easier. For a GBA game, it satisfied me, and it still captivates me.
Make sure you play them both on Sega CD and PS1.
Fun vid, renting games let you try all sorts of things good and bad. However, back in the day I used to buy old Saturn games for the cases then return them in the busted cases. Horrible I know, but one day I got stuck w/one I couldn't return, Grid Runner. So I ended up playing it and well isn't terrible but definitely not great either.
All the Cruis'n Games! N64's Crus'n USA, Cruis'n World, Cruis'n Exotica, and even Cruis'n for the Wii. All "red" Metacritic games; scores they deserved. I don't even have any nostalgia for these games but just played through them all and had an absolute blast. Which reminds me...can't wait for Cruis'n Blast for the Switch.
G.A.S.P!! Fighters' NEXTream in N64. Very hard to master and receive unfavorable reviews but I still enjoyed it cause of its additional content and what we can during in some stages.
Also do I hear Daytona USA Three Seven Speedway theme from 5:06?
Batman Forever on SNES lol the game is absolute trash but somehow I still love playing it.
Yeah I remember playing it a lot and got stuck later on in the game. That game was mad hard to figure out without the instruction manual
Hahah
I liked that on genesis now I don't like it or play it.
I actually made a video about this very topic over on my channel called "Bad Game I Love." Some picks for me are Amagon on the NES and Aliens Colonial Marines.
All right!
Crazy castle. One of those games i rented back in the day and it pissed me off but i wanted to beat it and had fun, would still play it
'Greendog: The Beach Surfer Dude' on the Mega Drive. Loved it as a kid. Played it again as an adult. Bad game (but great music). Still love it.
The Simpsons Skateboarding, what a glitchy mess that game is but oh boy do I still love skating around Springfield, the main story kinda sucks tho
Oh the video rental store example hits home! I only got to go the rental store every 2 weeks, and if I got in trouble…well I lost my video game for that trip. And then when you got close to the next one (2 weeks later) you had to be like perfect so you didn’t loose that game rental. And boy did it happen that I’d screw up!
Lol ahh good times
I’d have to say Frogger the Great Quest on PS2. I somehow get so immersed in that game despite all its bugs. The dialogue is horrendous but it just makes me so happy. Unfortunately my copy of the game crashes now and won’t let me progress past Slick Willys River Boat.
I like Sonic R. People think it's bad and so do I. The physics are very flawed and strange to say the least. But somehow, some way I got good at it and I can unlock everything in about an hour.
I think the two games I have that were panned but I enjoy playing them would be, Devil’s Third for Wii U and Link: The Faces of Evil for the Cdi. Idk, I really enjoy those two games even though most folks don’t.
Can agree with Devils Third there I was surprised when I played it and even on a hard mode playthrough and enjoyed it. To me its my Vanquish for Wii U and sure it was late but still good quality even with no updates and a not that bad frame rate to get used to. The CDI Zeldas have their charm even for how awkward they are I can tell. Even having heard every bad thing about them and not having played them. But after playing other bad games I just ignore the community and critics.
The 2016 Ratchet game for me. I cringe so hard at the story but still love the game.
@@rac1equalsbestgame853 fair enough. I only enjoyed the clank sections of the 2016 remake. Otherwise as a long time fan I hated it. Rift Apart I also didn't like as they made it even more bland for gameplay even if less cringey for the story.
@@suntannedduck2388 Honestly, I don't mind bad stories that much, and I can skip it so whatever. The game does have very fine gameplay and that's enough for me. Funnily enough the Clank sections are what I enjoy the least about the game. Definetly the most "unique" out of the newer RaC games, even if it is for the wrong reasons and my favorite, almost only PS4 game I play... Still can't watch that cutscene with the CiT reference. From the little that I have heard Rift is more like Nexus, for better and worse.
Minesweeper on my old Compaq Presario Lol. I’m definitely not a pc gamer but that game is scorched into my good memory banks
Hahah
Bart Simpson’s Escape From Camp Deadly for Gameboy comes to mind…
That's actually a great game. I've played that on gameboy and beat it.
A lot of the Simpsons games could easily pop up on this type of list!
@@KindaCool Yeah, I could see most of the NES games showing up here.
Sometimes I can enjoy a bad game if it's needlessly difficult. The challenge of trying to beat it becomes its own joy for me. Especially if I can find a way to cheese it / out smart the game.
Hey! I finally got my hands on a copy of Rocket Knight Adventures!! It's very fun and is giving me a good run for my money, even though I am playing on Children's mode, lol.
All right! Yeah, it provides a nice challenge. Once you get used to how to take advantage of the mechanics better, it'll really open up for ya :)
Any installment in the Backyard Wrestling franchise. They were virtually unplayable, but we loved the absurdity.
Some bad games I like:
NES - Jaws
SNES - Super Putty
N64 - Mace The Dark Age
Jaws isn't bad! It's just a really basic action rpg. And you can plow through it in 20 minutes basically.
Mace is pretty cool tho
I really enjoy playing Galactic Pinball on the Virtual Boy. It may not be the best pinball game or on the best system, but I still like to pop it in from time to time.
I like it when you get the Metroid part!
It's funny that you bring this subject up because I actually have a few games that fall into this category. First is Jaws for NES, the game gets a bad rep from AVGN and it's honestly not very good in the grand scheme of things but personally I still enjoy that game from time to time. I don't know why, maybe I have a soft spot for aquatic type games because Echo the Dolphin and The Little Mermaid for Genesis can also be called "bad" but enjoyable games to me. A more recent title would be Defender for PS2. Objectively not a good game but I still have fun with it for what it is and not what its based upon. Finally, nearly every game I own for my Panasonic 3DO can fall into this "Stockholm Syndrome" effect. Escape from Monster Manor, Crash N' Burn, Total Eclipse, Guardian War, just name a game lol. They're not good, but I love them all and no one can stop me! :P
Bible Adventures for NES! That, along with Super Mario Bros 2 and Dragon Warrior, was one of the first games I owned. It arguably had worse controls, graphics, and music than the other two, but Noah's Ark similarly let you jump around and pick stuff up like Mario 2 and search for and collect things like Dragon Warrior. I still love it!
Blue Stinger on Dreamcast. It's really corny and the camera is terrible in a lot of places. But it's held a special place in my heart for 20 years, and I've never met another person who has played it.
bad games become better with some decent cheats.
U DAMN RITE
Sounds like marriage advice.
As a kid, one of the few games I owned was Batman Forever on the SNES. The game is unreasonably difficult and has some pretty terrible controls BUT as a kid, that's all I had. I played it so much that I pretty much mastered the game and to this day enjoy it very much. I consider it a good challenge now.
I had a similar childhood memory.
Dude, I often listen to the Daytona USA soundtrack for enjoyment! With sounds like "Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tuu... Ghey Bonar, Let's go away!!!" and "I want to fryyy sky high, Let's go to ghey bar!!!" How can you describe the music as hilariously bad!? They are certified hood classics!
Yay, another great video. Thanks as always Retro Bird!!
My answer to your question: I think Balloon Fight for the NES is terrible, but after playing it ironically, I eventually grew to absolutely adore it (this was years and years ago). About a week ago, I discovered "The Ooze" for the Genesis, which seems kind of crappy and totally amazing at the same time.
My question for you: Are Stockholm syndrome games the games that we played because we had no alternative (so effectively crappy games we played a lot of), or were they games that we initially hated but came to love? really stopped hating them
In most cases yes, they are games you played because you had no alternative and were stuck with them.
My top one would probably be Final Fight Streetwise for PS2. It's a mess but I find it's attempts to be edgy hilarious and the actual combat system isn't that bad if you manage to wrangle the camera so you can see what's going on.
I also really like Donkey Kong 64 even though there are WAY too many collectibles. The music and graphics are great. And I like Castlevania 64 for reasons I can't describe other than to say I enjoy it.
I actually ended up loving Final Fight Streetwise. I played it for the first time during December 2019 (it was in my backlogged for years) on Playstation 2 and I had a great time with it. Yeah, it's flawed, but I love it.
I always thought Castlevania 64 looked kinda cool. I've never played any Castlevania games, so it doesn't bother me that it isn't much like the others. That seems to be a big reason why people don't like it much
Lion King is great. If they would have simplified the second level it would've done everyone a lot of favors. Definitely a game that you have to "get in shape" for. As in, you have to play the first time knowing you'll suck and the subsequent attempt right after, you learn from your mistakes and get a lot further.
The stampede stage creates more stress for me than the corresponding scene in the movie does.
I absolutely loved The Lion King. I played the SNES one.Yeah, some of those levels took a lot of practice and there were some pretty challenging levels, but I definitely think it was one of the best movie-to-video game adaptations ever made.
Shadows of the Empire was the first game I had for my N64, so I played through it exhaustively. It still remains one of my favorites. Another bad game I played a lot was Space Hack for PC. I picked it up cheap for $5 from my local video store as the box-art looked cool and it was cheap. Turns out the game was an extremely simplistic hack-n-slash diablo clone, but I loved it for some reason, I guess because it was simple and easy to play. I'm surprised to see it just got released on steam, never expected this obscure budget title to appear there.
I happen to LOVE the OG Mortal Kombat, Roger Clemens MVP Baseball, Madden 97, the NBA Live series and FIFA International Soccer on SNES, Mortal Kombat Trilogy and WarGods on N64, NCAA Final Four 97, Space Jam and Revolution X on PS1 and many sports games. I say the OG Mortal Kombat on SNES, because I have memories of my older bro (who was 11 at the time and I was 4) doing Sub-Zero’s freeze fatality (or finishing move) and loving it!!
Roger Clemens is actually my favorite baseball game on SNES
@@AndDeathForAll82 Interesting....It’s also one of my favorites on the system. My top choice is Griffey MLB
Wow! I love how you dive into nuances of the hobby like this.
I will do my best to keep this short but man would I love to go on and on lol.
First off, well put regarding the Power Glove. Looks awesome. Atrocious to use.
Second, do you own War Gods? Just curious if you tried to get better at it or as a result of your experience. I have it and it's ok.
Next, games perceived as bad that I enjoy.
1. E.T. Atari 2600. If you put aside the the negativity surrounding this game, tone down the difficulty, it is fun to play.
2. Fester's Quest.
3. Cool World.
4. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Maybe not considered a bad game but it is criticized for its poor translation and night/day frustration. My first NES game besides SMB1/Duck Hunt and I still play this frequently. I still have the letter from Nintendo power my 10 year old self wrote to find out how to acquire the last few items.
I don't own War Gods. I don't think I've played it since I was a kid. Perhaps I would have a different opinion of it now.
Wish he would at least show a short clip of the game kinda the biggest reason i click on these kinda vids! Nostalgia dude! Probably never gonna play that game again so its cool to see it 1 more time. Yea Daytona USA was pretty cheesy but still fun
Alex Kidd in High Tech World. I know the puzzles barely make sense, I know there are a lot of cheap deaths... But I love getting deeper into the world of Alex Kidd, and of the lore. I know the lore doesn't connect well between games, but I will take it
Yeah that's a trash game
Just found out one of my professors (haven't taken a class with him yet) worked at SEGA and made the background art for Virtua Fighter, Daytona USA and Virtua Cop(arcades I believe). Can't wait to talk his ear off. Also, the game I think is bad that I enjoy? I can't think of it... I swear I was playing one that sucked but it made me laugh so much I couldn't put it down. Maybe one day I will remember. Another one could be Midnight Resistance... I don't think it is all that good but man that music keeps me going. Probably more games on NES than I could count.
The music in Midnight Resistance is indeed pretty sweet.
Hmmm. Good question. I think I would have to go with California Games for the Lynx. Awkward to control but I do love me some California Games.
What? California Games on the Lynx is well regarded. Surfing is my personal favorite.
This is the earliest I've ever caught a big TH-camrs video 86 views is my record! Great video by the way :)
Thanks! Glad you like it!
knack is tied with skylanders trap team for my favorite game of all time
My Stockholm syndrome game is most definitely the first TMNT game on the NES. I didn't have many games growing up and I'm a huge TMNT fan. I spent many hours playing this game over the years, and even though I acknowledge its faults I do sincerely enjoy it. I used to get very angry as a kid playing it because it's so hard, but there's something about it that kept me coming back for more.
The N64 port of San Francisco Rush.
The steering controls are terrible and you're gonna crash and explode a lot but the stunts you're able to pull off, the sense of speed and overall fun factor are so good that it doesn't really matter.
And the AI applies by the same rules so it's not unfair in that regard.
I enjoy Jaws on nes , so much my very 1st video was a review + play of it lol
Daytona USA also had the Horse code. So there was some value there
Hmmm... The only game that comes to mind for me is Dark Cloud for PS2. I picked it up for $20 when I was really desperate to play something new, and for some reason it took me 2 back-to-back playthrus to realize I didn't actually like it. I guess the game was scratching a weird itch I had at the time.
Dark cloud 2 was amazing tho
@@immitationstation3369 Never played 2, only the original.
I can't think of a single game I consider bad yet still enjoy.
Yeah, that could certainly be the case.
Cutthroat Island for SNES! I loved the movie as a kid and this was a Xmas gift and I only got a 1 or 2 new games a year. Played it and i loved it even though that dangalang ol' minecart level drove me to absolute madness and could have caused a little Stockholm syndrome. From what I have seen most people see this universally as a bad game. Could I say Super R.Type too? Probably not but that game has influenced my gaming path more than any other! Love your stuff Bird I watch most everything you put out
Thank you for watching and glad you're enjoying it :)
I have the Home Alone games on SNES and I force my brother to play them with me every December.
Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Streeton nes come to my mind. Had no idea they were bad until the AVGN episodes lol
I feel you Lion King was a pain 🤣😫🤣
BLACK Ps2 - horrible wonky aiming but everyone seemed to love it - I still enjoyed it though - the last level is still the hardest shooting level I ever played 😳 I left my console on for a day or 2 because I didn't want to restart the whole stage 🤦
I really enjoyed Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance on the OG Xbox quite a bit actually
Mine would have to be Arctic Thunder for the PS2. Sure it has its flaws, but for some odd reason they actually add to the enjoyment (even if it's for all the wrong reasons). It's pretty the extreme racing game equivalent of a low-budget B-movie.
JAWS on the NES. I got it as a gift and I only got 3-4 games a year MAX. I loved upgrading my little guy and then getting to stab that shark with my boat. I have seen so many videos about it being a terrible game but I used to love it!
Mine would be clay fighters 63 1/3. Got it for Christmas And even though I know it was a bad game I still enjoyed playing it and mastering it
I'm very surprised about it, but I did walk away from Final Fantasy 2 (actual 2, not number 4) enjoying it, or at least aspects of it, afterwards. It's not a good game in many ways, but it still has that old school Final Fantasy charm to it. Plus I think that an "informed playthrough" where you know which pitfalls to avoid can maximize the fun and make it much more bearable.
Two come to mind. One is Friday the 13th for the NES. It really isn't a very good game, but there's something I find fascinating about playing a game and feeling doomed the whole time. Jason is going to find you, and you're probably not going to escape. The other is Turok: Evolution for Gamecube. Not really a very good game, but my cousin and I got endless entertainment out of playing basically one multiplayer stage in a highly eccentric and specific way, charging our melee weapons up and rushing each other to see who could land a killing blow first.
The first open world survival-horror. Underrated as hell!
I mean, I actually kinda enjoyed The Simpsons Wrestling, because it felt like trying to wrestle on ice skates and that looks so funny haha xD
For me a game I would consider “bad” but I still get some enjoyment from would be a game from my youth that I thought was “good” back in the day... that didn’t just age well over time. I have a lot of favorites that fall into this category lol
Pokemon Red/Blue
Glitches in games are so fun to abuse. Why not do this with one of the buggiest RPG's ever created?
Plus, it still started Pokemon, one of my favorite franchises. I'll always have a connection to it despite liking the other games better.
Or the sprites look funny, take your pick.
Learning how to abuse the glitches makes Pokemon Red/Blue a brand new game... And a great one!
I'll always have a spot in my heart for Pokemon Red!
A worthy mention, is Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone for PS1. TERRIBLE graphics, but still a guilty pleasure and fun experience.
I did rent war of gods on N64 many times, kind of enjoyed it
I genuinely like Mortal Kombat for the SNES. Laggy controls with cut-and-paste characters, differing only in special moves, and doesn’t even have the blood the series is famous for.
I didn't realize that version had laggy controls. Interesting.
Army Men games for ps1 ftw :D
Almost 10 k 👍
Ik I'm late to the party, but a bad game I absolutely love is EDF 2017.
Karate Kid on the nes. I knew it was bad but it was the first nes game I bought so I convinced myself to like it.
Ultra Vortek on the Jaguar is a pretty bad rip off of Mortal Kombat 3. I enjoy it even though the design and voice overs aren't great. For sure a wonderful time showing friends and having a laugh.
I’ve gotta go with Sonic R! It’s insanely short, the controls are really hard to get used to, and graphically it really doesn’t hold up.
Buuuut I think the gameplay can be fun once you get used to the controls! I also think the super low-poly graphics and stiff animations are really charming with the simple, cartoonish character designs. Plus that soundtrack 👌 It’s pretty divisive, but I find it amazingly campy lol
Sonic R is mine. There's a lot of potential buried under some messy design so it's fun once you work around its jank.
I love Sonic R. It's a hilarious broken mess, but gives off such a positive vibe with those overly happy cheesy 90s pop songs and the bright colors. It's like when a kid sings and dances... it may objectively be bad, but he enjoys himself so much it makes you happy as well.
Yo! Noid is a game I really like that I think most people hate for some reason.
Yes, somewhere out there someone considers Superman 64 or E.T. the be their favorite game ever.
I love SEGA this was a perfect arcade port
Agreed. I love how well the car handles and how it's harder to control based on how much damage it takes when you hit the other cars. I love the neat easter egg mini game with the slot machine. It's really fun.
Ah yes the original golden cartridge of Zelda for the Nintendo NES was a game I started playing as a kid and quickly thought 💭 it was trash.
There was plenty of hype for it, as a lot of my friends owned the game and swore it was amazing. Well I was used to Castlevania, Metroid, Super Mario, Contra, Double Dribble, Mike Tyson’s Punchout and Techmo Bowl. I had no time for Zelda? Ohh was I wrong many of years later when I sat down and gave the game the respect it deserved. I was blown away by Golden Legend of Zelda now knowing what a timeless masterpiece it truly was. 🏆
Primal rage on the 32X is my bad game that I enjoy.
I feel you completely when it comes to the Lion King and those hippo tails, it was a brutal game for the time! I have one for you, wait for it..The Star Wars The Phantom Menace game! It´s Superman 64 in the Star Wars universe but I loved it back then because we were all looking forward to that movie so much.. I struggled with and against the weird physics of the game, illogical level design, trying to see whats what because of hidious graphics and various glitches with a smile. Even writing about it now makes me want to go back and torture myself!
Game that is considered bad that I kinda agree with but like anyway, Quest 64.
My Stockholm Syndrome game is Glover. A little bit of a hidden gem that is I find difficult
