Revolution X. Sunk many quarters into that one and even rented the SNES port multiple times.
Clayfighter 1 & 2, man, Blockbuster was in the black because of us with these ones.
Dr. Chaos, never owned it, but always borrowed from a friend and never made it anywhere. I just loved the cover art and the title screen.

Man, I loved Revolution X. The arcade version at least. I really remember it being the last arcade game that I saw absolutely everywhere. Pizza places, supermarkets, Wal-Marts etc.

But the SNES version (and I'd imagine the other consoles): playing a lightgun game with D-pad controls. From what I recall, the cursor speed setting didn't even work, so it was always fast. So you probably needed the insane number of Credits they gave you (20? 30?).

I had Barbies as a kid, so you dang well better believe that I had a Barbie game for the Genesis. I never beat the thing. I mainly played it just to play around with her makeup between levels. Battle Arena Toshinden also blew my mind back then. I wanted to be Ellis when I grew up. I have no idea what that means. I still have my Barbie genesis game! It was amazing! There were a few terrible games I liked, but I think the most standout one was probably Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(nes). I put in so many hours and never got anywhere, but it was TMNT, so I had to.

Not from what I remember. I had a Super Scope, but I remember having to use the d-pad.

Dr. Lunatic: Supreme With Cheese.
I'm not going to tell you why it was terrible. I'm just going to leave that title there, I'm going to post a video, and I'm going to let you draw your own conclusions as you will. Apologies, this is the best video I could find that didn't have children talking over it.
Now, in fairness, this is a custom level made by a younger enthusiast of the game, let's say, and the level design isn't always that, uh, shall we say, experimental. But it still looks like this all time.

Silhouette Mirage is the one that comes to mind. The US version of course. Because its not a terrible game on paper. But I still don't think its beatable as it is now in America You have to go out of your way to grab and beat as many cannon fodder enemies as you can to maximise the amount of cash you get from them so you can get upgrades to make the game manageable. That has the counter effect of making a fast paced and fun game a slow boring piece of shit

Cool. TBH, Castlevania: The Adventure isn't that bad, though it is slow and awkward.

I've always liked Super Mario Bros. 2, both as a kid and even now. I think most people that grew up with it also like it, so I never quite understood where the hate came from. As for Zelda II, I never had it as a kid, but did play it way later, and it seemed okay to me. Like, I still vastly prefer Zelda 1 and A Link to the Past, but I felt like Zelda II wasn't that bad. The only issue I had with it, which I suspect is the reason most people hate it, is that it's way too hard. The same could be said about nearly 99% of the NES' library, though. My introduction to Super Mario Bros 2 was the "Super Mario Advance" port and I remember my reaction being basically "what the hell is this?" it was so different than any other Mario game I played and not necessarily in a good way. I don't hate it, but I've always been pretty meh on it, when I learned it was not originally a Mario game it made perfect sense, I understand it's just a matter of taste though, but I actually like the original Super Mario Bros 2 way better even if it is tough as nails.

I played Lost Levels on the SNES Mario All-Stars cart (Which is great, btw.). Loved the hell out of it. Beat it. (probably couldn't have without it letting you save between worlds)
But I played SMB2 when it came out, and I think that's a big part of it. Yea, it was different, but it was also only the second game in a series, and this is during a time when sequels were often pretty different from the original titles. the "Mario" style really hadn't been ironed out yet.

I don't normally say this, but I propose the alternate theorem that the other Zeldas are simply too *easy*. For me, Zelda 2's difficulty level was juuuuust right. Not too hard, not too easy, but right where I wanted it to be. I never felt like as much of a badass as I did when I first got the hammer on Death Mountain. That's one of my greatest video gaming triumphs as a kid. -Tom
