  • What a year 1992 was, bringing us the likes of Super Mario Kart, Alone in the Dark, and Sonic The Hedgehog 2. Sadly though, not everything gifted to us by 1992 was great, and so we’re back, yet again, to remind you all of the very worst games that were released in that 12-month period. Featuring some of the worst titles to ever hit the SNES, here are 10 Worst Games of 1992.

    Really shows difference in rating scales back in the day when compared to today. 1992 reviewers seem to have considered 5/10 as an average game worth playing but plagued by shortcomings. Nowadays reviewers practically consider grades 1-6/10 utter trash and 7/10 is considered average.

      Yeah, "score creep" has really become a thing. Also, tho, a lot of reviews from that time didn't survive the jump to digital formats, so it's more "the worst games of 1992, based on whatever reviews have managed to remain online 30 years later." These definitely weren't the worst games of 1992, from a contemporary perspective.

      @achtsekundenfurz7876 2 года назад +7

      I think it's a trope called "four-tier review scale", four tiers basically being the following: -- 9 to 10: great game -- 8.something : good if you like the genre -- 7.something: mediocre game not worth playing unless it's cheap and you LOVE the genre -- anything below 7: trash.
      Most games on this list aren't horrible, but simply not as polished as today's titles, because game controls and UI have come a long way in the last 3 decades. In fact, no matter what game you play, if you play the sequel before the older game, you'll find the older title crude and awkward to control. Maybe with the exception of the titles which got a "3D" sequel in the late 1990s. In those cases, the devs usually didn't know what to do with 3D and gave us horribly low detail compared to the better 2D titles. There are exceptions, but many excellent 2D title got a rather average 3D sequel.

    • @lorddavid3dxw
      @lorddavid3dxw 2 года назад +1

      @@achtsekundenfurz7876 It's much the same for board games as well. If you check boardgamegeek's rankings so many of the "best games ever" are games that you likely don't care about, but a few of your favourite ever games may well be ranked with a 6.5 or something.
      Reviews rarely say much unless the game receives a truly poor score, say 25% or lower. Otherwise if it looks interesting to you, give it a go. If it's ranked stupidly high, consider why rather than just assuming it's amazing.
      I love Gloomhaven, but if your level of board game is family party games, you're going to have a bad time with it. Similarly, Portal may well be rated extremely highly, but if you generally play Mario Party and Wii Sports type of games, you'll not get very far.

    Splatterhouse 2 on Moby Games you can get a list of 22 critical reviews for the game on the Mega Drive. Total of those reviews? 66%. However, those include retrospective reviews so ignoring the ones from later on you have 11 reviews for a total of 63.2%.If you just count the IMDB reviews you get 71.1%. Wikipedia page, 77.6%. The average of those totals is 69.47%.
    So where does 54.58% come from? Clearly somewhere the sun doesn't shine seeing as Peter criticises the "lengthy runtime"... the complaints were it was too short. Must've hit a nerve...

    The Terminator on the Megadrive is actually a fun game with great graphics, fantastic music & sound effects (the sound of the shotgun blast & recoil animation on the second level are worth the admission fee alone). Although admittedly a very short game the action feels different enough on each stage to keep it varied, from the futuristic cyborg destroying machine gun to the pump action shotgun concealed under your trench coat.
    A Blaster complete with purple laser fire should however have been the weapon of choice during the future battle in the opening stage to better replicate the movie, looking & feeling much more authentic. I will admit that it wasn't worth the full asking price at the time of its initial release due to how short the game actually was but still as they say "a solid weekend rental". You could do much worse with your spare time than play The Terminator on Sega Megadrive.

    The Genesis/Mega Drive version of Earnest Evans didn’t have cutscenes. Not even still images like its predecessor El Viento. The Sega CD version however did have the cutscenes (and it _did_ make the game much better as a result) but unfortunately the Sega CD-version was only released in Japan.

      Blazeon's gimmick is, your ship can shoot a missile that can stun certain enemies. In this state, if you ram over the stunned enemy, your ship fuses and transforms, upgrading it.
      The Arcade original is better in audio and visuals, obviously, but the port does a pretty good job replicating it.

    The problem with Phalanx and Earnest Evans was the fact that there were significant downgraded from the original games.
    In both cases, the developers (Zoom and Wolf Team, respectively) originally released the games for the X68000. The X68000 had such a powerful processor and better graphics (at the time) to the point you couldnt match the capabilities when porting over to the SNES or the Genesis. Games that were originally developed from this computer just didnt match up when facing a downgrade to a console or another computer. A great computer for the price, but it was just too powerful (and expensive) compared to what else was released to mainstream audiences.

    I never played the console versions but The Duel: Test Drive 2 was lots of fun on PC back in the day (1989, three years before the console ports) even though it was soon technically surpassed on PC by the incredible for its time open-world fully 3D sequel Test Drive III: The Passion.
    I suspect The Duel: Test Drive 2 might have played a little smoother than Test Drive III since TD3 being completely polygonal-based (aside from scaling trees) on PCs that weren't really designed for polygon graphics meant that the framerate was probably sub 5fps on a MS-DOS computer like the IBM PS/2 (which we had) but, back then, just getting 3D to work at all on PC was enough of an accomplishment. TD2 was mostly raster-based graphics with fake scaling and only some minor 3D effects so the framerate on our IBM PS/2 was probably much higher.
    The best Terminator game based on the original movie available in 1992 was probably the Sega CD version. I still at least liked the re-creation of the opening titles with the overlapping letters on the Genesis/Mega Drive version and the graphics were pretty nice. I just wish it had gotten more than 4 levels.

      It’s not the journalists back in the day… this is a very misleading video from start to finish. In 1992 there were many many games reviewed at scores well below 40% in professional magazines but, because they weren’t reviewed in “seven professional magazines”, they don’t make the cut. Which means they’ve eliminated “the worst games” by their own stupid criteria!
      Additionally, back in 1992, a score of over 50% often meant “above average”… rather than “bad”.
