I feel like there was a well made Rugrats game for PS1.

Yeah. But it's still nice to see these kids get excited about some of those classic old rock tunes rather than reciting some stupid-ass rap song lyrics from today!

I mean, I like a lot of rap music (old school primarily). But since there doesn't seem to be much of an outlet for Rock music anymore (MTV I'm looking directly at you and I'm flicking you off), Guitar Hero and Rock Band are a decent source for delivering old and new Rock music to the masses.

Try and think about it that way.

The worst that actually passes for a game is Bomberman Act Zero. It's terrible.

The game that feels like it was coded in a high school computer lab is Superman 64.

Well, as a stupid 6 year old with no opinion of my own, I found Rugrats In Paris the Movie playable. I remember getting to the final boss, and never actually beating it for some reason.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a few things to say:

First, Superman 64 isn't as terrible as you think. The even levels, where you walk around on the ground, aren't so bad. It's the flying levels that were horrendously done, and they happen to be the odd levels.

Second, Shaq Fu is not the worst fighting game on the SNES. For me, that award would have to go to Ultraman: Toward the Future, a game with limited animation, agonizingly limited controls, bizarre enemy hitboxes, and enemies can only be killed with a special move that you have to charge up for about a minute and a half, and if you use any other special moves you'll have to wait longer to kill the enemy. Also, enemy health regenerates, and since the world scrolls infinitely, most of the time all they do is run from you to get all their health back. Somehow, I have gotten to the final boss in this game.

Other poor SNES fighters that come to mind include Street Combat, Rise of the Robots, Ballz 3D, Battle Blaze(which I really wanted to like), the port of Primal Rage, and Pit-Fighter.

And no matter how much one loves Pit-Fighter, the SNES port is absolutely atrocious and should be avoided at all costs.

Another awful Midway port was WWF Wrestlemania for the SNES. Speaking of Ballz, anyone tried the 3DO version?

If anyone wants to relive terrible moments of their childhood, I ended up with a copy of the PS1 version in a trade. :lol:
