- 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 RUclips.. 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 😂
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
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!
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!
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!
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.
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! :)
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.
I confess... I like Daytona USA (Saturn ver.) too... Keep doing this type of videos! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Congrats on almost 10k!
Thank you. Yeah, almost there.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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!
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 think as long as the game isn't completely broken and it's playable then it could be someones favorite game
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.
Quarantine on 3do it’s horrifically bad and I absolutely love it
I misread this as "Games you are bad at but still enjoy". I had a whole list of SHMUP's ready.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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."
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
'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.
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
box art was a HUGE influence on me on choosing which game to play. Followed by magazine and TV ads.
Same here. RUclips 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.
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.
knack is tied with skylanders trap team for my favorite game of all time
The part where you went out of character with anger was really funny
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!
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!
A worthy mention, is Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone for PS1. TERRIBLE graphics, but still a guilty pleasure and fun experience.
Any installment in the Backyard Wrestling franchise. They were virtually unplayable, but we loved the absurdity.
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
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.
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.
This is the earliest I've ever caught a big RUclipsrs video 86 views is my record! Great video by the way :)
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Here is a few bad but secretly "good" by console:
NES - Caveman Games
N64 - Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero
XBOX - Circus Maximus Chariot Wars
Circus Maximus was/is badass
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.
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.
Altered Beast doesn't belong on this list my friend. It was a good pack-in for the time and I'll tell you why. In 1989 Sega needed something to show off the Sega Genesis's capabilities, had simultaneous two player action, easy to play mechanics, and representative of their arcade roots. Altered Beast was not only drop dead gorgeous in '89 but it was a helluva lot of fun to play. The sound was also incredible for the time..."Power Up!"
A few others have told me this as well. The more I think about it, it may not be a game that I personally think is bad but still enjoy. It may just be a game that others think is bad, but I enjoy it.
@@RetroBirdGaming
No worries my friend! Hey we all experienced the Genesis in our own way. The reason I have such a strong feeling towards Altered Beast is it was the second game I saw and played on a Genesis in 1989. It was one of the reasons I chose the Sega Genesis over the TG-16 as my big Christmas gift. Now, it is true that Altered Beast hasn't aged well in comparison to some of the Genesis's other early titles but I believe it deserves a positive spot on the annals of gaming history.
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
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.
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.
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
bad games become better with some decent cheats.
U DAMN RITE
Sounds like marriage advice.
Home Alone on the NES. Altered Beast is a fantastic game so I am not sure why you have it displayed unless you are trying to tell people how awesome it is.
Ik I'm late to the party, but a bad game I absolutely love is EDF 2017.
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. 🏆
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 🤦
House of The Dead on Sega Saturn is still good. Purists can't keep comparing the Saturn to the arcade versions because Saturn isn't anywhere near as powerful. Virtua Fighter 2 did well because it was a simple game that didn't have to worry about draw distance. You just have 2 3D models going at it per match and even the backgrounds are still images that move with the camera. The arena is at least in 3D allowing you to strafe around the opponent. Something like Daytona on the other hand for as early as it came out is impressive as heck despite lack of good draw distance. It's not so bad that you can't play it like some critics say. It's just not as pretty as the arcade. Same goes for Genesis ports of arcade games. I don't care if Space Harrier 2 has a choppy framerate. That game is so much better than Space Harrier on the Master System. FIGHT ME. lol Even games like Golden Axe are better on Genesis than the arcade because they actually added an extra level, boss, and a VS mode. Altered Beast has smaller sprites, but it plays better than the arcade. Super Thunder Blade is good too. Even After Burner 2. Understand the console's limitations and how cool it was back in the day to just have these games at home and to be able to play them any time you wanted. They still hold up. They aren't bad.
I have pretty much the same opinions as you when it comes to these games
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.
Wrecking Crew on NES is the bad game I love. Mario before Super Mario... A 'comfort game' for me. Don't know why. I downloaded it to the virtual console on wii and wii u..last time I played through it was on Nintendo switch online collection.
I don't have many examples, because if I like a game I tend to consider it good, no matter what. But in the last few months I played Hunt for Red October on NES, which I think is objectively bad in many ways: terrible and extremely repetitive music, average or below average graphics, slow gameplay (because you're underwater). But I still felt the need to give it a chance, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I did beat the first three levels, it was a good challenge, but the idea of hearing that music and those horrible sound effects again keeps me from trying to conquer the next levels.
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.
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.
Dragon Ball GT Final Bout on the Playstation. Terrible gameplay mechanics, but for some reason, it had a certain novelty to it.
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!
Quake II on PS1: Multiplayer. The controls are stiff, but the simplicity makes it easy for everybody to join in. The levels look bland, but the layout design is way better than GoldenEye. Quake on the PC was of course better, but the PlayStation at least let you share a TV and a couch with friends!
Eddie
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!
Mortal Kombat for snes. My best friend and I played the snot out of it. Horrible control input delay, missing/altered fatalities, NO BLOOD
I absolutely love Bubsy the Bobcat (both 1 and 2, but not 3D). Both games are pretty terrible in terms of the massive problems the gameplay has, but I found myself enjoying them thoroughly as a kid.
I don’t know why I enjoy playing the old NES Bible games made by Wisdom Tree. I really do think that they are objectively bad games that are poorly designed. Yet I still like to play them, for some reason. Maybe it is partly because they are based on the Bible. Maybe it is partly ‘because’ they are so bad, just like how it is fun to watch some cheesy, poorly made films and laugh at how bad they are.
Robocop 2 on the NES. Bad game with terrible controls but it was the only game at my grandma's house I could play during the summer holidays (I don't count Dr Mario we were playing together 😁)
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?
Primal rage on the 32X is my bad game that I enjoy.
I played Automobili Lamborghini forever on the N64 because its all I could afford from the Blockbuster used bin. The game was crappppp, but I still love it.
I have several. Space Pirates and some other 3DO FMV games spring to mind. Game play is messy, the acting is goofy, and often the intended story gets trampled by mechanics that don't allow you to actually watch.
Cybermorph and Battlmorph on Jaguar and Jaguar CD also fit easily. Slow and clumsy, but there's something about the weird atmosphere that I like anyway. Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Link: Faces of Evil on CD-i are games I legitimately and unironically enjoy as well. The game play is rough, but they remind me of when I was a kid, and Zelda wasn't so rigidly defined. They have the feel of the old Valiant Nintendo Comics System and the Zelda episodes of the Super Mario Bros Super Show.
In fact, I could go on for hours on this topic...
The Wii had tons of games that were bad but could still be fun with friends. For me Bionicle Heroes was fun to play despite being boring, repetitive, and mostly uninspired. It had some qualities found in mobile and casino games that made it addictive. Good times.
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
I like many of the bad Sonic the hedgehog games. 😅
I enjoy playing Shadow the hedgehog, Sonic lost world, Knuckles chaotix, the Sonic storybook games, Sonic chronicles, Sonic shuffle, also Sonic 06 and Sonic R are some of my favorite games from the series.
I got all the achievements in sonic 06 😅 actually liked a few of the levels in that one. Its a shame it got rushed to meet the holiday deadline
I feel like Sonic R is bad if you try to play it like a 3D platformer, but when you use it's racing controls, it's perfect.
Edits: typo fixing
@@c08o.prkiua46 sonic R on the GameCube gems collection was the best version imo
Yeah, I know that a lot of people have soft spots for some of the Sonic games while acknowledging their flaws.
@@immitationstation3369 I agree! It just had so much potential! I wish that it was delayed for a couple of months.
Excite bike. There is sparse content, you can't save like the Famicom. But I still like it. And it led to better things.
So, worth it. Excitebots is probably my favorite game. Sega should make the sequel. Like F-Zero GX.
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 played Sonic Spinball and Lion king on Game Gear to death when I was young, SS with its horrible ball physics and Lion king with the annoying monkey/giraffe/hippo levels. I wasn’t surprised later on when everyone agreed they aren’t very good!
Game gear was my first game system and bartman vs radioactive man was probably the first bad game I owned 😄
Something about it tempted me to press forward tho
@@immitationstation3369 Ooh, never played that one :-) I'm going to check that one out!
Ecco the dolphin is my main game that I *love.* but it is very flawed. Idk why they made the design decisions they did, but heck, it makes for a *unique* experience to say the least.
The music in Ecco was always so good also.... God I love the cover art also
Those controls can be a little tricky for sure.
I can't think of a single game I consider bad yet still enjoy.
Yeah, that could certainly be the case.
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.
For every bad game that I enjoy, I can find a whole community of folks online who will defend it to the death! (Simons quest, Zelda 2, solar jetman, to name a few).
But man oh man, I experienced plenty of weekend rental “Stockholm syndrome” games as a kid. Mostly licensed games from a now rather infamous developer… 🌈
This whole "pretending Zelda 2 is a bad game" bit is boring.
@@SeveredLegs then I guess it’s considered good now..? Maybe that’s why I like it 😂 but for a long time it was pretty universally thought of as a bad game, at least based on what I was hearing 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds like you were a real weekend warrior ☺️
@@SeveredLegs Zelda games are awful.... They should tell you where to go and what to do. I don't know if skyword sword does that but if it doesn't then they are garbage.
I don’t know if people think it’s bad, but I’ve never heard anyone talk about it; I really like playing snow bros for the nes. It’s fantastic!
