What awful retro game do you have an attachment to?

Ha, I used to play this game all the time.. forgot of it's existence (entirely) until I saw your post. The disc just vanished circa 2003 after being scratched beyond repair (broken sound effects were amusing for awhile... Shaggy went from saying "way to go, Scoob!" to "ay, o, oob!").

IIRC, the instruction manual has screenshots from an earlier version of the game.

 

A lot of people have trouble separating James the filmmaker (who had been making films for years before Cinemassacre) and AVGN the psychotic character. The only game I've played that he did was Top Gun (at least that I can think of off hand), and it's not terrible. Not great, but not worth pooping on.

Also, when we got our Genesis, my dad, my sibling, and I each picked out a game. He got PGA Golf II, I got NHL 95, and my sibling got Barney's Hide and Seek. A laughably simplistic game that I actually put a lot of hours into. It gets a bit of crap, but it's not really bad. Very colorful.

 

Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout is another AVGN classic. I adore that game and still play through it from time to time. When I originally ran through all of his episodes years back I was saddened to see it on there.

Why do I want to play this?

 

It just has that effect. I downloaded it as a joke once and ended up with a cracked PAL version where Barney sounded like Barry White (maybe it was the emulator?)

It was worth it and I regret nothing.

 

Paperboy 2 on PC, which is a pretty shitty game with terrible collision detection and a ridiculous level of difficulty. However, since I played it so much as a kid, it's become endearing to me...and I've actually made it past the first week a handful of times, which I never managed as a kid.

 

That sounds amazing.

 

Electro Freddy on the Amstrad CPC 464. Almost certainly the first game I ever played mind you, so likely heavily rose-tinted glasses. But it's generally seen as utter cack despite the quirky British humour in it.

 

Chester Cheetah too cool to fool for Sega Genesis,and Spider maze for the Atari 2600.

 

You should probably figure that out so you can send me it.

 

Actraiser 2. I think the whole gaming community hate it due to the missing sim department and the huge difficulty, plus the awkward controls didn't help either . But I personally like the game for what it is.

 

It seems that time has erased all evidence of this disc and set of files I once had. Gotta retrace some steps..

The Barney game had this cracktro:


I was running it on SegaGenesisPlusDC 07-26-06 BlackAura through a version of Selfboot Inducer with a Peanut Butter Jelly Time dancing banana theme.

IIRC, the roms' name and path have to be manually configured in a sideshow XML file. One typo and it will either not load or not show up at all. On the bright side, a meager CD-R can house a lot of Genesis roms.

 

Tmnt fall of the foot clan. I could never beat the final level.

 

Yes, Bonus Stages were the best part of the game. Played it just for the bonus.

 

Ghostbusters for Sega Genesis. Went to the store in must-buy-a-game-now mode, brought it back. Initially disappointed. It grew on me. Loved it. Everyone hated it.
