Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. Brought it to a college club get together one day and we all had a blast laughing at it. Man, I forgot to mention this game...ok, not exactly a game, more like a visual novel which is probably a result of drunken office workers who are bored with the routine of their daily life. Thanks to the Angry Video Game Nerd I learned about this "masterpiece". Another kusoge I like and I learned from a guy I know is Animal Soccer World for PS2. At first, this guy had a clickable signature with this game on a forum which links to a thread he made about this game and how much it rules. At first I was "Is this guy for real?" but then I realised how stupit I was and he was of course being sarcastic. And even though I'm not a videogame collector if I find this game on a discount basket I will grab it without second thought and play it with my friends for the laugh (Did I mentioned that there are lots of YouTube Poops with this game?). And since I have a friend of mine which is a videogames collector I was thinking to buy him this game as a joke. Off topic: is there any thread with the worst fighting games at this forum? Those bad Catoon games are made by European Publisher Pheonix games. The cartoon themselves are by some animation studio called Dingo Pictures they just pus them onto a disc with bad mini games. The same company if it brings out the game on a new console on the games cover says its a sequel when though it is the exact same game. Any one played Fight Box for Pc or Ps2 it might of been a UK only game. It was based on a very weird TV show that the BBC made to replace Robot Wars (The way better UK version of battle bots) and the show bombed and only lasted a series. The game has tons of parts to use t create your fight including weird ones like Crab and Lamprey heads. The controls of the game are clunky and it plays like some weird cross between a game show and a fighting game. A GBA version also exists but it look even worse than the Ps2 version. Not a clip from the game but the TV show itself yes the game is equaly as weird. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9Z65GEbS1s&feature=related

Sailor Moon Super S for the PSX. Horrible fighting game, but it holds special memories for me, and I do kind of like the music and graphics in the game. Funny you should mention. I replayed it last night on a whim. Gameplay is still horrible, but the music is good, and nothing quite like the joy of getting an instant kill from a lucky super.

Super Thunder Blade.
I am impressed because this was the launch title of that brand shiny new console and everything about it is bad.
Of course I do like the austere presentation that games from the early Genny days had, like it, Phantasy Star 2, Sword of Vermillion, and Super Hang-On had.
EDIT: In fact, that's the thing. Aside from that sort of grimy appearance it has, the unplayability/unfair difficulty matched with the fact that everything is out to get you makes this one of the most utterly oppressive games I've ever felt. By the end of Phantasy Star 2 (especially with its ending) you get a similar feeling, but I think this game definitely did it a lot better, if partially unintentionally.

Why is Super Thunder Blade on most Sega Megadrive collections but not Space Harrier 2? The 360 and Ps3 colection even says it is like Space Harrier 2 yet that game is not in the Collection. One good thing about this though is that awesome Laser beam sound the Tank Mini boss makes in stage one though..

Another kusoge I find out today and looks interesting is Maka Maka for Super Famicom: retrojrpg.thefannish.org/?p=306If only there was a fan-translation of this game. Let me add to my favourite kusoge list Athena from SNK (the arcade version, at least). Years ago when I first tried it on MAME I was "Uuuuum...is this supposed to be a classic game? It could be better.". Years laters I realised that it was famous for being an awful game with the console and computer ports being even worse. But still I like this game even with its flaws. And a reason is because I'm Athena's fan. I know, I suck for being such an otaku . If only I could play at least Athena Full Throttle for mobile phones. Question of the day: Why Cho Aniki is considered as a kusoge series? I haven't played all of them but at least the first one for PC Engine and Cho Aniki: Seinaru Protein Densetsu are decent games: the graphics are nice, the control is fine, the soundtrack is cool, the gameplay is very nice and I love its bizarre humor. It's one of the best shooters I've ever played and it's 100% playable (Ai Cho Aniki excluded which has some issues). I guess the reason is described as a kusoge is because of its bizarre humor? In this case Muscle March (which is awesome) should be described as kusoge too? XD

Way of the Warrior for the 3DO. Imagine Mortal Kombat with worse controls and digitized actors that look like they got their costumes from Goodwill and you have this hilariously terrible game. One of the characters is also Raptor Jesus. The best part of it all is that the developer is... Naughty Dog. Yes, that Naughty Dog. It's just hilarious to me that the makers of a fantastic game like Uncharted 2 started off with this piece of shit.

Didn't Naughty Dog also develop a Genesis game wherein you could enter a cheat code that changed the title screen to a picture of a topless woman? I think I read that in an EGM, and it always stuck out in the back of my mind... for some reason.

Even funnier is the development history of this game: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_of_the_Warrior_%28video_game%29#DevelopmentSo...we enjoyed Crash Bandicoot due to a crappy fighting, huh? Not bad!Well done, Universal Interactive Studios! ;D

vetus: Yeah, the story behind WotW is certainly interesting. And as bad as it is we still have to thank it for launching Naughty Dog's successful career.
And regarding Rings of Power, it was quite cool that they named one of the hidden levels in Crash 3 after it.
As for favorite kusoge? I forgot which game I was gonna mention!

I remember when it first came out and I read the review or preview of it in EGM, it looked so good and I wanted to play it so much despite not having a 3DO. I still want to try it out some day.

It's funny how the bad game design and ai results in that unexpected joy. ;D

Super ThunderBlade is a great example! There are litterally hundreds, but right now I'm remembering Dick Tracy on the Genesis. You could shoot baddies like in Rolling Thunder! And then just like that! Use your tommygun and shoot baddies IN THE BACKGROUND. Like in NAM-75... Now that was a neat idea. Could have been used again. Repetitive but a great concept.

I actually play Transformers: Convoy no Nazo from time to time for shits and giggles. I find it as if Irritating Stick were an action game, with the floatiest controls ever.

Chase the ChuckWagon for the 2600. It's actually no worse than for-reals Pac Man on that system, it's just conceptually silly, what with the dog food commercial and all.
I also really get a laugh out of Bible Adventures.
