The Best and worst games

Talking about old 80's and 90's shows with a number of you on Sound Off brought back alot of great memories.

Thinking back there were many games for all platforms dating back to the NES and Sega Master System that were inspired from classic TV shows and cartoons.

Hers are some though I have not played them all:

Pirates of Dark Water

Swat Cats

Home Improvment

Ren and Stimpy

Alf

I could go on forever I personally enjoyed Airwolf at my friend's house. So many good ones and so many bad ones too.

Oh I forgot the Bugs Bunny game on SNES captured the feel of the show well.

Also Tom and Jerry was another 2-D platformer I had fun with back in the day.

Rabbit Rampage was bad-ass. Though it was a long time ago, I remember feeling like I was watching the cartoon. Couldn't get by that bull, though.

What about Buck O'Hare? I don't remember if that was good or not.

Oh wait - Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, that shit was good.

The Bull was not easy cause you had to time your jumps perfectly.

Anyone play the TG-16 Tailspin game? I loved that show!

The Mickey Mouse games for SMS/GG/Genesis kicked major arse.

The Donald Duck games did too, but not quite to the same level of classics like Castle of Illusion.

Don't for get TMNT.

Super Widget....I still have nightmares.

Home Alone 2 for SNES was kind of horribly shitty

How dare you? I loved that game, too easy though.

Felix the Cat was good stuff.

Garfield: Caught In The Act for Genesis is pretty cool.
Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers on NES are excellent. Bill and Ted on NES was bogus.

Best:
Ren and Stimpy's Stupid Inventions
Beavis and Butthead (Gen)
Rocko's Modern Life
Garfield for the Genesis was swank
Wacky Races on the DC was surreal, since it captured the show perfectly.
Mickey Mouse's Magical Quest (SNES/Gen)- the SNES version has amazing graphics, sound, control, etc. The Genesis version can be played anywhere thanks to the Nomad. Yes, I know a GBA version is out, but it's cooler to do on a Nomad.

Worst:
Home Alone (NES)- the game is based around you only being able to play it for 20 mins. at a time. Well, that's the GOOD feature.
Home Alone 2 (SNES)- fantastic looking hotel rooms.... um, fighting a chef?!! Yeah...

I bought the Genesis version for my Nomad last Christmas. My Neices and Nephew enjoyed playing my Nomad, so I bought a game they could enjoy.


Other showss that were made into video games include:


Scooby Doo! (N64)

Ren N Stimpy (SNES)

Bart's Nightmare (NES)

Power Rangers Pinball ( I don't recall the system?)

Duck Tales (NES)

G.I. Joe (NES)

Thunder Cats (SNES)

TMNT Tournament Fighters (SNES, Genesis)

Adam's Family (Genesis, SNES) They did have a cartoon!

Fester's Quest (NES)

The Little Mermaid (Genesis, NES)

Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt (SNES)

Quack Shot (Genesis)

Goof Troop (SNES)

X-Men (Genesis, Gamegear)

Tazmania (Genesis,SNES)


Some of the games were real stinkers, but a game like TMNT Tournament Fighters on the SNES were pretty good.

No no... play Home Alone 2 for the NES. Just as horrible if not worse...

Talespin was a fun flying shooter game. There was also Goof Troop, which I never played. Darkwing Duck on NES looked a lot of fun.

I remember a final fight type game, but it was the Simpsons, only out in the arcade I thinkg. That was the best.

The Genesis Scooby-Doo game rocked socks.

Did anyone ever play the Konami G.I. Joe arcade game? It was like Space Harrier grounded. Unfortunately, I've never seen it in person. :(

The Konami G.I. Joe game is excellent. It's like a predecessor to Sin & Punishment.

I was a Ren & Stimpy freak back when it was on TV, so natually I had one of their games. I had "Veediots!" for SNES, and it was a lot of fun, although a little too easy. I sold it awhile back, after I had beaten it.

I remember every Capcom Disney game I played was excellent. Yes, SMX, Darkwing Duck for NES is a lot of fun... just stay FAR away from the hideous TG-16 game with the same title.

Yes indeed. It's almost a sin to have never played it. :)

Thanks for the info OmegaFlare, I was a big fan of the cartoon, I should check out the rom I guess since my NES is dead. :(

Goof Troop was actually very good but some of the puzzles were tough as nails.

The Konami G.I Joe arcade game was really cool for its time, but I find unplayable these days.

I hope you aren't judging G.I. Joe via MAME because it runs like shit compared to the real thing.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers sucks ass on the NES.
Mighty Max for the Genesis also sucked hard.

What about Power Rangers for the SNES? :lol: Nah, that's WAY after my time, though my brother wanted to rent it and it was a decent brawler.

Oh yeah, what was up with The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare? That game had very nice graphics but the gameplay was frickin' odd...

Taz Mania was great.. I love that game. Really feels like the show.
Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle games for GB are great too. Many levels and very fun.
Road Runner Death Valley Ralley I enjoyed
Tiny Toons Buster Busts Loose as well
The Turtles games of course (Turtles in Time is my favorite though)

I have the Tom and Jerry NES game.. it’s OK.. I remember it being very hard though.

The Adventures of Batman and Robin on Snes kicked unhealthy amounts of ass. Although it was difficult, it could be done with practice. Lots of it.

GI Joe, the arcade game is awesome

They have it where i play indoor soccer (they also had the Sonic Fighting game, which i found to be rather terrible), and whenever i had downtime before/after games, or between tournaments, i was probably playing that game... good stuff

Batman on NES was OK. Very hard though.

GI Joe for the C-64. Guess whether that's a good or bad title.

Batman Returns had amazing graphics on the SNES, fun gameplay too.
I loved the Adventures of Batman and Robin on the SNES, best Batman game ever.

Yeah that game was cool but I seem to recall the characters moved too slow. I dunno I just rented it for a weekend, amazing graphics tho.

It didn't really seem to move slow to me, but now that I think about it, I think it does. The game is paced so that the slightly slow movement doesn't get in the way.

Are you on drugs? Have you been that way for all these years? That game was excellent. No "OK"'s about it, man. :P

Bucky O' Hare was alright. You played as the green Hare, rescuing your crew from the clutches of that toad army. Each character had a different special ability and shot pattern. It was fun to me back then. Not so sure how it'd stand up now.

I enjoyed G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor on NES a good deal.

Whoa whoa… I was very young when I played it, and I haven’t played it since. I’m just going from my very old memory of the game. Perhaps I’ll play it again after that outburst ;)

Batman on NES was great. I don't know how a 10 year old(refering to myself back then) managed to beat the game. Too hard...

The worst...

Defenders of Dynatron City. I bet most of you don't even know what I'm talking about. That cartoon got canned like in 5 episodes. Oh yea, the game sucked too.

Damn, I didn't even know it had 5 episodes. I only saw the one that came on on a holiday. Sorta like the Battletoads cartoon.

They have that at my local arcade, it's pretty tough too.

I have Bucky O Hare somewhere burried in my giant Bin-o-games in my closet, if I remember correctly it was kinda fun, but pretty hard, I never beat it.

The Mickey games on the Genesis were probably my favorite out of the disney line, though some of the games based of the movies I remember liking quite a bit (Aladdin, Lion King)

And everyone knows that Batman Forever on Genesis is the hardest game mankind has ever seen. I almost through my Genesis out of the window when I played that... then again... I was like 11...

Edit: WHOOPS! Forgot my...

~Mr. K~

ahhh much better

Bucky O Hare had some annoying 'Escape' levels where you rode on some sort of craft through tunnels while escaping the toad armada's mothership. I remember them being a real pain in the ass. :)

Good:

G.I. Joe (arcade)
X-Men: Children of the Atom
Konami's X-Men (arcade, especially the 6 player deluxe version)
Pac-Land (arcade)- Midway redrew the Pac-Family characters to look like the ones in the cartoon.
TMNT- Turtles in Time & Hyper Stone Heist
Taz-Mania- Both the SNES & Genesis ones. Different games, but both are very good.
Mickey Mouse: Castle of Illusion (Genesis)
Superman (Taito)
Punisher (Capcom, arcade)

Worst:

Batman Returns (Genesis)
Punisher (Capcom, Genesis)- Shamefully poor conversion of a great arcade title.
Double Dragon V (SNES/Genesis/Jaguar)

The arcade Bucky O'Hare game was awesome. The Genny Adventures of Batman and Robin (stupid ass long title...) was great, except for the small main characters (Batman and Robin.)
