Turrican 3. They turned a unique meld of Contra and Metroid into a straight run-n-gun. Still a great game, but it lacks the aspects that made the prior Turrican games really stand out.

Back when all I could do was rent games, this game was rented possibly 6 times over the years. While the arcade original was one of my favorites at the time, I thought the game held up well and it provided me with many hours of fun (if not also frustration).
Have to agree with this completely.
Before I met an MvC machine, this and KI were my two favorite arcade games bar none. The PSX version was one of the biggest let downs of my gaming life.
I dunno about anyone else, but I always felt Donkey Kong Country 3 was the absolute low point of that series. The first one started off great, the second was still fun but not as good imo, but I couldn't even power through half of the third before I stopped giving a shit about what happened.
PSX XvsSF made me buy a Saturn and a RAM cart. Everything was much better after that. :D
DKC lost me the second you couldn't play as Donkey Kong anymore.
On the PC side of things....
Battlefield:Vietnam: Coming off the heels of BF 1942 came this piece of shit with a GREAT backdrop. There were many nice little touches in the game (mostly from movies), but the game was HORRIBLY unbalanced from the beginning and the Desert Combat mod came out and shit all over it.
I would KILL to see a Battlefield game set in the Vietnam era done right with the new Frostbite engine. Keep the music and little touches from the old game and expand on it.
Some of the maps were cool to play in B:V but man, it was pretty crappy. It was made by the B-team, Digital Illusions Canada wasn't it? I think they also put together that first BF2 expansion.
