Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: I have come to needlessly shit on your list

[quote name="fabio"][quote name="Rafiki"] <b><u>NES</u></b> 1) Super Mario Bros. 3 2) Super Mario Bros. [/quote] Mario 2 was objectively better than 1. [quote]8) Metroid[/quote] This is one of those games that we constantly heard was iconic and a must own but I never had fun with it. 95% of the game was getting lost or getting stuck or getting stuck in walls or spending half an hour shooting enemies in the same hallway over and over to slowly get enough health drops to refill all your energy tanks before you could try another run. [quote]9) Blaster Master[/quote] Objectively better than Metroid. Even if the gun power down after getting hit mechanic was super annoying. [quote]10) Contra[/quote] WHY IS THIS NOT IN THE TOP 3? [quote]14) Double Dragon II: The Revenge[/quote] 15) Castlevania II: Simon's Quest[/quote] This is my "why is this game so reviled?" moment. I thought Double Dragon 3 kicked the shit out of the previous games. Most of the criticism seems to come from people not having any clue how to play the Chinese dude, or being too dumb to switch off a character before they die. [quote]17) Crystalis [/quote] I remember this being way more fun than Zelda. Worse music I guess? [quote]19) Ninja Gaiden[/quote] This game really was shit. It's only remembered for popularizing cutscenes as we know them today. [quote]23) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game[/quote] HOW IS THIS LOWER THAN FAXANADU? [quote]24) Life Force[/quote] It's the same game as Gradius which is ranked at the bottom? [quote]30) Solomon's Key[/quote] Fuck this game was impossible. [quote]32) Karnov [/quote] HOW IS ANY SIDESCROLLER RANKED LOWER THAN THIS? [quote]43) Metal Gear[/quote] I throw this up there with Ninja Gaiden in the category of iconic games that popularized a convention, but the game was utter crap. Starting over at the starting screen was BULLSHIT. [quote]44) Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos [/quote] Better than the original in every possible department: gameplay, difficulty, cutscenes. [quote] 46) Demon Sword 47) Marble Madness 48) Strider [/quote] Demon Sword was a total mess that seemed more like a botched programming project than a game. Strider is Faxanadu for non-rpg fags. [quote]67) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles[/quote] Everyone wanted to believe this game wasn't shit. They were all wrong. [quote]72) Clash at Demonhead [/quote] Possibly the most underrated game in the entire NES library. Put this up with Strider for kicking this shit out of boring clunky Faxanadu. [quote]75) Dragon Warrior[/quote] The original Final Fantasy was shit (sold entirely by Nintendo Power hype), but it was infinitely better than fucking Dragon Warrior. The only reason console rpgs took off was kids who only got 2 games a year needing to stretch the "value" of each one. [quote]76) Who Framed Roger Rabbit? [/quote] If I find even one single non-shit game past this point.... [quote]84) Kung-Fu[/quote] Fuck you! 3 steps above the trainwreck of Bad Dudes? [quote]89) Paperboy[/quote] No clue how this game ever caught on. Why did nobody every attempt a reboot where they shifted the focus to a Tony Hawk score system of encouraging you to cause as much damage as possible? [quote]91) Milon's Secret Castle 92) Wrath of the Black Manta 93) Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road 94) NES Play Action Football 95) 8 Eyes 96) Double Dribble 97) RBI Baseball 98) Popeye 99) Elevator Action[/quote] How did Elevator Action get lumped below games so bad that there's hardly any point in ordering them anymore? [quote]102) Spy Hunter[/quote] Another game you realize was always shit. [quote] 104) Rad Racer[/quote] It was a fucking travesty that this got picked as one of the 3 games for the Nintendo World Championships. It was shit for an early release black box game, and it was even more shit by 1990. [quote]107) Rampage [/quote] A lot less fun than people remember, but 50 places below goddamn Karnov? [quote]112) Spy vs Spy[/quote] This game was the shit 2 player!!! Okay, up until you realized that you could easily stalemate it and make it impossible for each other to win. [quote]113) The Adventures of Bayou Billy 114) Golgo 13 115) The Simpsons: Bart vs The Space Mutants 116) Deadly Towers 117) Ikari Warriors 118) The Karate Kid 119) Rambo 120) Burger Time 121) Pro Wrestling 122) Skate or Die! 123) Top Gun 124) Ring King 125) Renegade 126) Family Feud 127) Wheel of Fortune 128) 10-Yard Fight 129) Track & Field 130) The Adventures of Gilligan's Island 131) Friday the 13th 132) Jaws 133) Ghostbusters 134) Fist of the North Star[/quote] Finally, a streak of bottom games that all belong there.
