    For this list, we looked at video games available for Sega’s 16-bit console which have garnered a notorious reputation for either their abysmal visuals, broken controls, terrible gameplay or just being downright boring. We are however excluding unlicensed games like Awesome Possum and Crazy Bus because, well, they're unlicensed. Though Crazy Bus does get special mention for this monstrosity

    I've met Paul Carruthers, programmer for Batman Forever, and he said that because Acclaim had spent so much money on getting the license they wanted to be as involved as possible with the development for the game. They told them "Make it a platfomrer, everyone gets them, add in multiplayer as that is very popular and give it the same fighting mechanics as Mortal Kombat".

    Did anyone ever play X-Perts??? It was terrible but the characters looked good. It could have fooled you as it did me. Apparently it's based off of Shadow from Eternal Champions. It presents an alternate timeline for her. It released in 1996. Slow and clunky controls with not a whole lot to do.

    • @DirtyZ
      @DirtyZ 5 лет назад +1

      X-perts was set in the reality that Shadow won the tournament and got a second chance at life. The game actually was a really cool concept; simultaneously controlling 3 operatives in an underwater complex and taking down a terrorist organization by scrambling their computers as well as beating them up. The problem was in the execution. Someone on the game's development team said the expectations were too high and the budget and amount of time given to the project too low. That being said, I've beaten it a number of times. Maybe it's because it's a game from my childhood, but despite its many flaws, I find it charming.

    • @samfrito
      @samfrito 5 лет назад

      It's a shame X-perts isnt a little more polished. It's an interesting concept that could have been better had they used the Eternal Champs style graphics and not the too-few frames of pre rendered animation they went with. I'm with you. It has a charm.

    I was able to adapt to the pacing and style of Heavy Nova when I played it back then, so I was able to enjoy it. It was the only brawler I had on the Genesis.
    There appears to be some misinformation about that game floating around. The button C when pressed rapidly, kick starts one's energy, allowing one to get on one's feet and continue the fight.
    Failing to do this means, one would remain energyless, but still not lifeless. The opposing robot will continue to beat you without resistance until you truly die.

  • @TheCoopsCorner
    @TheCoopsCorner 8 лет назад +2

    Heavy Nova was #2? Gonna have to disagree on that one. I'd call it average overall, and certainly not the second worst on the Genesis. Decent graphics, great animation for the time, nice music, and a rather sizeable set of moves to use. Its gameplay can seem wonky, but once you figure out its oddball mechanics and rules (such as, how far away from an enemy you are and how much energy you have dictate which moves you can do, you can recharge your energy only when you walk or stand still, etc.), it could be played and beaten consistently. It's not broken, it's just oddly designed.
    Frankly, this list smells of a "worst Genesis games" Google search, because there are far worse games on the Genesis than some of what was listed here (namely Shaq-Fu and Ballz). Beast Wrestler, X-Perts, Time Killers, Belle's Quest, Death Duel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Budokan: The Martial Spirit, Revolution X (some neat special effects though), Cutthroat Island, No Escape, Awesome Possum... the list goes on. I know this video's mostly opinion and whatnot, and everyone has their own line that separates "good" from "bad" with games. But I gotta say, this list really seems like "Google search" results.
    Oh, and I believe Awesome Possum was indeed licensed. Tengen was a signed third-party company on the SEGA Genesis from what I've read in the past. And if that's true, then the game is a licensed one. The "SEGA Seal of Quality" emblem on the game's box, manual and cartridge also suggests this.

      I am. That's why I gave it a 5 out of 10 over on SEGA-16. Heavy Nova's not a masterpiece to be sure, but it's not the busted garbage others like to paint it as (IMO of course). There is a method to its odd gameplay mechanics and once you learn it, the game's more playable than it seems when you first fire it up.

    When I saw this title, I had to tune in. In my house, I got the NES, my brother got (and LOVED) the Sega Genesis, and then I got a Super Nintendo.
    I loved to hate the Sega Genesis. My brother had it for almost 2 years before I got the SNES and he’d run that shit in. As much as I loved to hate the Genesis, my brother allowed me to play it enough to realize that Genesis was great and had some really great games.
    My brother had great taste in games so I never really got to see the ugly side of Sega Genesis (even though he got the Sega CD and 32x.
    Genesis was a great console and I’m glad that I finally got to see why I hated it. 😂😂😂

    "We are however, excluding unlicensed games such as awesome possum and Crazy Bus"
    And slipped in an unlicensed game in the dishonorable mentions. Mega fail!

      And Awesome Possum wasn't unlicensed.

    I somehow was expecting Sonic 3D Blast in this.

      +Astradon (sonicxyoshi) 3D Blast isn't a terrible game, it's just not particularly good. Plus having played some of these I can testify their awfulness.

      +Catkeeper I played it too. I had a bad experience...

    My siblings and I played Sword of Sodan all the time as kids, inevitably got bored and frustrated with the lack of music and goofy looping sound effects (not to mention the awful hit detection and bizarre level of difficulty)... then picked it up again a few days later.
