A shit called "artificial dreams" (1st original I bought) - I never got it working on my A500, but when I saw screenshots I did not even regret. Turd of turds.

Really?? wow. Well to be fair I had a 464 which meant no music while playing, just some beeps for a skid noise and tape multiload at the end of each stage!! haha

Shocking

Yes that's right. An audio tape with slightly remixed versions of the arcade tunes.

Really? On the PC it was fantastic. I found it superb mainly because it's such a rare genre that we get on the PC.

Disappointed.. oh god it would have to be a toss up between Speedball 2 (the new one on the PC) and Sensible Soccoer 2008 (or whatever it was called) closely followed by Cannon Fodder 3.

It's quite sad that Amiga classics whereby if they just updated the graphics and sound and, nigh on, left the rest as is then they would be hits.

Rise of the robots promised so much, but delivered so little! Of course all the vested interests (computer mags etc) played their part in hyping up this utterly crap game!

Medal of Honour: pacific or something (a few years ago on the PC) and it was utter pants.

Dizzy Panic.

I thought it was like a Treasure Island Dizzy type game... paid my money, raced on my bmx home as fast as i could... and was gravely dissapointed. Even worse, the shop I bought it from wouldn't take it back.

Yes you robbing bastewards that were formerly near Cleavland Street in Kempston, Bedford, you mis sold and robbed a 10 year old kid. shame on you

good thread guys

Paper boy 2
Cool Croc Twins

But I got them as a bargain price so it didn't hurt too much. ( the most use they have been was to scan the bits for HOL )

I also sold my Atari 2600 to get Midnight Resistance

OK game but when the free copy made the rounds, I started to miss my old Atari

I tried to find out why on earth the gameplay was so horribly broken.
I was 14, you know,...and it cost me 79 DM!

It took me a year or so to understand that the Amiga Joker rating (91%!) was indeed a joke.

I really tried hard to like it...and still own my original copy (CD32).


Oh, it´s time to boot it up one more time...there must be some gameplay....somewhere...
















...and Brian May´s brilliant soundtrack!

The original coders should go back and make the game playable by way of an apology.

I bet these days it's a lot easier to do.

Kick Off 3. I bought it before I read any reviews. Come on, it's Kick Off, it must be a good game. Well, it was terribly bad, but unfortunately that wasn't even the worst football game I bought.

Bodo Illgner's Super Soccer (international title was Gazza's Super Soccer) for the C64 was the worst game I ever bought. It has to be on every worst 10 computer/video games of all time list.

I think they spend 99% of dev time on the rendered robots and 1% of playability.

Kick Off 3 was indeed quite a disappointing game. The last good Kick Off game was Goal!.
