So bad they're good? The games only a drunk would like...

[alexknibb]

Hello!

I noticed that no-one had downloaded Virtua Fighter 2, and I got a pang of sympathy for the poor thing. Surely it's at least good for a half-hour giggle if you're you've got a mate round and you're both blind drunk and in hysterics anyway?

So, yes, this is the SBIGBOIYHAFWYAYBBDAIHA* post. This is the post where I want the VC equivalent of Legends Of Wrestling on the GameCube. The games where your gameplay experience is only heightened by how ridiculously poorly designed and built the games are. Where hoots of incredulous scorn mix with guffaws of disbelief at the immense ineptitude of the game "designers".

If there are any, recommend away. And next time I'm drunk enough with a mate to think that my credit card isn't maxed out, I may well chuck a few points into the abyss just for instant giggles.

Thanks!

Motoroader. And pretty much everything that's hit the EU VC in the last 5 weeks. With the odd exception.

GENIUS post...and my answer would be SHADOWMAN on the PS...hic...probably a personal thing but me and a pal had the best time playing this hammered....and talking the epitome of rubbish. Pretty average game raised above that mediocre bar by some classic what if you were a superhero...who would you be type conversations...

Excellent post.

My vote goes for Space Channel 5. It's not as dirty to think those thoughts if you're drunk. If you squint, you might just be able to.......

Tomb Raider might fit in the same category, but sober or not, I just want to slap Lara Croft the entire time I play those games.

Surely you can't be slagging off Kirby's Dream Course!

Or Mega Man, or F-Zero X, or Bloody Wolf...

OK, we're straying a little off-topic here. Not that I mind, of course, discussion is a great thing! Plus, as I started the topic, I can also stray off-target a little too...

Anyone remember playing IK+? It was a very basic karate game; I had it on the Amiga, and it had a great cheat where you hit a certain key and both the fighters' trousers fell down. It was hilarious when you were-- Um-- When you were-- Actually, I don't think I knew what alcohol was then, I was probably about 10. I guess it was hilarious when you were 10 then!

Anyway, back on-topic, what rubbish but inebriatedly mayhemic games from the VC crop fit the bill? Or what crappy but alcoholically fantastic games from the VC console crop do you recall from your ill-spent youth? Or, alternatively, ill-spent Friday, whichever was most ill-spent.

EDIT: Posted before the previous reply. You guys are just too bloomin' fast.

I rented the 64 version and loved it, but hated the PS1 version.

Now I own the N64 version and i'm really enjoying it.

I said a few exceptions.

F-ZERO X is amazing, I have the original on my N64.

Mega-Man NES, had some bad experiences with MM games, they tend to be a bit bland, but i'm temtped to give this one ago.

Bloody Wolf, if it had co-op then i'd DL it, but a one player game like that doesn't interest me at all.

And finally Kirby, well... There's is no chance that I would ever download that game. It looks absolutely horrible. Truly one of the worst looking games ever. "Golf" where you have to kill aload of enemies before the hole opens on a very small "Golf" course (Even by Crazy Golf standards) doesn't look or sound fun at all to me.

I loved IK+, main game was quite cool and fun (Plus hard) but that ball bouncing bonus game (Which was stolen by RAREWARE in DKC 3 I believe) was addictive as hell. And that cheat rocked!

We weren't drunk and we were in hysterics

BTW, got MM and this one's really fun

ice hockey...

i was messed up and decided to DL this on my friend's wii. it was soooo much fun that night, playin it for hours. the next sober day we played it...and it i couldnt stand it for more than 5 minutes lol

also, Blazing Lazers brings a similar story. very very fun drunk, but not as good sober. i believe SSS is the superior sidescrollin shoot em up in the VC list...BL deserves 4 stars at most if SSS is 5.

Skitchin' and Shaq Fu, both for the Genesis.
