We're counting down the top 20 worst Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games ever. Why?...well, the original videos kinda got screwed by CZcams, and obviously just uploading them again isn't an option (deleted files and so forth)...plus they were just kind of old anyway. So I've made a new version! New commentary! New jokes! New entries! An extremely irritated host who'd have sooner never seen any of these games again!

I enjoy the fact that shining force was the opening music 😊
Thank you. Love it but ouldn’t place it!
This channel has been my discovery of the lockdown. It's absolutely brilliant.
Yeah I've been watching since 2013 and it's still a solid channel after all these years.
"The wanks of the damned" - Thanks, Kimble, for making me spew coffee over my monitor. :)
You really set the scene perfectly for Rise of the Robots. Almost Life of Brian-esque in your building up of a powerful scene, before destroying the entire thing in hilarious farce. Or farcical hilarity.
"It's a pile of fucking shit" 😂😂😂😂
"People like shit!"
And with that my friend, I am legit subscribing.
Man, there's no way a sane person not crack up on laughs upon hearing that 'welcoming' shout from WC Italia 90':
BLAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHHHHHHH
(yep, it was supposed to be a GOAL! scream)
The funny part was I read how Time Killers was originally cancelled, but there was a "fan outcry" about making it come out anyway that it actually was released. My question though is who would have wanted it in the first place?????
you tell these game stories so well brother I've probably watched about 30 hours of your channel.. love your story telling and observations. keep it up.
The Wolverine game is so bad that I literally smashed the plastic case it came in.
No you didn't, don't be silly.

Kim-will you go into even further in-depth review of Awesome Possum? Please? I feel that it deserves the penultimately scathing review. If there was one thing that Awesome Possum did help was not the fact of trying to save the environment. Instead, it helped shape Doug Lawrence’s career in voice acting be solidified (he went on to voice Filburt in Rocko’s Modern Life, and most famously Plankton in Spongebob Squarepants). Easily comparable to Lani Manella starting off voicing Bubsy in Bubsy 3D before going on to doing much better.
Don't know how I've missed this video until now. You had me in tears, laughing, all the way through. :) Thanks and keep up the good work!
Played Sword of Sodan recently on the Amiga, and though it was never a good game it was still miles better than the Megadrive port. What really impressed me was the use of ambient sound which creates quite a cool atmosphere, and the game has a replay feature so you can watch your game play. Technically very impressive.
Time Killers was a lot more acceptable in the arcades.
Otherwise it was a time killer
I like time killers! There was a strategy and you still had a chance when you lost limbs. Plus it made sense that you could go back in time a couple minutes in time and you have your limbs back, unlike mortal Kombat
Lmao at Heavy Nova, cuz that's exactly what my reaction to it was... I saw that intro and was like "this HAS to be good" and then, yeah... the game.
Its amazing Sword of Sodan even got released
Awesome video, Kimble. You did all those crappy games justice. Oh, and I "do" remember the original Rastan arcade game. It was SO much fun to play when it came back in 1987. I used to play that game in the arcades with my brother when it was new. And I think it's a FAR superior game than the atrocious sequel.
Yep. Had Strider 2 for the spectrum and loved it as to be fair, it didn't feel too much worse than the original on that device (which of course, didn't touch it on the arcade or the Mega Drive. When S2 hit the Mega Drive, I rather enjoyed it as much better than the Speccy version. It didn't occur to me to compare it with the Original on the MD for years. When I did of course, I totes saw why it was so hated.
...Then again, while it doesn't come close to the charms of its predecessor, my history with Strider 2 means I still enjoy it as a mediocre-to-decent-but-very-flawed platformer in its own right. I certainly couldn't bring myself to put it in my bottom 20.
I like how the timer in Heavy Nova uses a completely different concept of time to the rest of the planet. 1 Heavy Nova Time Unit (HNTU) = 4.5 Earth Seconds. That's some serious sci-fi world-building, there.
I purposefully turned the lisp right up to 11 for that one. :)
Kim Justice love your voice accent and lisp. brings so much character to your videos.
Kim Justice hello Kim . Does ultra man use the same sound affects as streets of rage or are they just really similar? Cheers love from a mere fan man lol
Kim Justice hey man stop being so harsh on yourself man was really informative and i enjoy all these vids there really entertaining thank you :)
Kim Justice fuck the lisp your intelligence and knowledge of games are very impressive and I mean very impressive I have watched loads of your videos and everyone of them has had me wanting more. But on to this list I'm up to 15 and I would be very upset if Flicky didn't make it that game was awful lol rise of the robots to and the worse ever was dark castle .
Jeez Kim.
For a moment there, I thought you would put the incredible 'Shining Force 2' in, when I heard the music.
I was about to get my pitchfork and torch out!
love that animal court bit. How would you expect a kid to know something like that anyway
I feel like I'm sinking into despair when I see really bad games being played, and think of the bad memories of playing them back in the day. It's amazes me that professional people would create and release such terrible games. Thanks for an interesting video, despite it making me feel sick.
The sad thing is that a german video game mag gave Awesome Possum a "Good" with 67%.What was the guy who wrote that article smoking?!
+CarozQH Probably the bribe money he got from the developers of the game.
Probably played too many eurojank platformers
'...it's a trite and meaningless existence...' made me laugh my drink up.
A Space Quest AND a Police Quest reference? Very cool :D
I love your writing, a very Hitchhikers Guide vibe in this episode :]
Just found your channel awesome video just subscribed!
Dark Castle for the C64 was good. The controls were odd but it was a challenging game and had interesting puzzles. I was excited for the Sega version but soon found how bad it was.
17:12 Is that Tommy Cooper? 😂 You've made my day, lmao.
a terrifying thought just occurred to me: Bubsy's getting a reboot (by Black Forest Studios- who made that fantastic "Gianna Sisters: Twisted Dreams"- no less!)... what if some studio becomes emboldened or desperate, or worse yet; STUPID enough to try their hand at an "Awesome Possum" reboot? I shudder hard just thinking about it!
Haha, I still have an old Sega Power issue with a review of Rise of the Robots, it was hilarious. Apparently there was also a review embargo, nobody was allowed to write about it until it was already out... always a sign of quality.
Absolutely hilarious - I need to go to sleep, but I can't stop watching.
Throwing woks at the enemy really is evil! I mean, a game like this, really needs a wokthrow - how else will you get to the end!
I played Awesome Possum the other day and had to reboot it just to convince myself there hadn't been a problem when the game loaded into memory ... nope, it was even worse second time lol
I've done a favourites video already, and I had to do this because as mentioned in the video, CZcams has wrecked the audio on the old one.
Appreciate the effort this was very fun
Loving the use of 'Expander' from Streets of Rage 2 in between entries ;-)
Craig Stadler saying "You're godamn right" is the highlight 23:12
Damn that catchy music at the start, Shining Force or Phantasy Star if I remember correctly, now it'll be stuck in my head for ages. The bit with Awesome Possum's relentless one liners is funny.
A Space Quest reference! My childhood salutes you Kim 😄
Sorry Awesome Possum but you're not awesome, not when we already had an awesome opossum name Sparkster.
Tbh i still am disapointed Sparkster looks nothing like an Opossum. He looks closer to an Armadillo without the shell.
Heavy Nova does have an OST worth checking out, if you're into the space funk.
21 minutes in is just the WWF WrestleMania game but without the official wrestling licence.
This video is old af, but it wasn't Infograms fault for Fantasia on the MD. It's was Disney. Infograms wanted more time to get the game right and Disney gave them a very tight deadline to try and get the game out with the Fantasia VHS release.
No DJ Boy? Now THAT's a terrible game.
I love the intro theme - it's so 80's and Genesis-y (as in Phil Collins). I'd rather have the Mega Drive's version than the one on Mega CD w/ vocals and such.
I actually built a small circuit board to slow down my Commodore 64 to PAL speed but output NTSC video you have no idea, EU games ran WAY too fast on an a USA C64 and USA games as you know ran so slow on a PAL one, and I LOVE the C64 it still is my favorite 8 bit system! But PAL Elite on a USA C64 is gorgeous it ran FAST and we loved it so much! :)
shortening your sign off - unacceptable kimble!
(great vid as always)
There are still home-brew games coming out for the system but they cost $$$ to get as cartridges. South America still had releases for quite a while.
The death animation in Techno Cop reminds me a bit of Death Wish III, on the ZX Spectrum.
I got Techno Cop as a mystery cart. Needless to say I wish I had left it a mystery.
"More effective than the Two Minute's Hate"! I love it! XD
Is the original version of Kim's worst Sega list available online anywhere? I never got to see them, and I'm curious what his list looked like before.
When you mentioned Strider, I thought you were talking about the first one. But then that unofficial 2nd one came up. Thank goodness I never tried that one out.
actually, the PC version of Time Killers had some pretty impressive tech for the game, like parallax scrolling backgrounds and the like
I thought Time Killers was only an arcade game. When did it get a PC port?
Having only found this channel recently I've been enjoying these videos Mr Justice. So many memories from childhood
Rise of the Robots is a fantastic lesson in game design.
It's everything that Streetfighter isn't.
Edit: And a light year from anything Yu Suzuki ever did.
Poor old Tommy Cooper, he dies on stage and then ends up censoring badly drawn pornography!
"Kripke? Where is that accent from, exactly?"
I'm just giving you shit, mate! Great videos! Subscribed.
Resvrgam ayeee big bang theory, I just got the first six seasons for my birtyday
@@cartersplanet2734 or you could watch the never ending re-runs on TV for free?
That show just won't die.
@@robertmcmillan3638 I don't like commercials 😂 messes up shows for me
Its crazy watching this years later when you made a new list and found so many bad games half the list changed by now
AHHHHH!!!! I never could remember the name of the Mickey game I used to play when I was 5. Never got past the first level either. It still manifests in my nightmares from time to time
Stormlord looks cool. If I had seen just a longplay of that game, I bet I would've bought it but now I'm not so sure I should. It reminds me of Chakan, which is a great game by the way.
Have you ever played Ferias Frustradas Pica Pau? (Woody Woodpecker's Frustrating Vacations in English.) I'd say that it makes Awesome Possum look like Sonic 2!
What is the music you used for each transitional screen?
Dark Castle should definitely be number one, or at least be in the top 3.
kenterminatedbygoogle Flicky was the worse it was terrible. And Italia 90 lol
I'm already subscribed but I suddenly was fucking around with Rise of the Robots and then thought 'Hey, wouldn't it be good to watch the top worst Mega Drive games of all time' then I came here. No one but Kimble Justice does it better. Cheers dude.
If posted this before but i still think you could do videos focusing on forgotten game developer companies, it has some potential for a unique series.
Oh my god you open with WORLD CUP SOCCER ? That game was pretty fun to play back at the time, and I could name like 3 or 4 worse soccer games for the Mega-Drive.
Zool is as uncontrollable as Awesome Possum, but nobody seems to care.
To me Battle Squadron is impossible to win, at all. That makes it one of the worst.
Also Mick&Mack with no improvements and the same walkthrough strategy for the whole game. No bombs, no automatic fire, no power raising up.
I wonder why everybody around loves them.
***** It is very fast. Controls are bad.
"Owiginal wastan"
1] it truly shows the kind of "global society" we live in when comments mocking a person's rhotacism (difficulty in pronouncing Rs due to tongue/palate issues) are more abound than those relevant to the topic! oh well, at least Kim gets my kudos for braving it and taking it well... I sure as hell wouldn't!
2] to Kim= how much on your Patreon to do one of this worst games lists, this time focusing on the SNES? that's definitely a mine worth digging, since in 2020 just like back in 2013 "people like shit!"
The redhead character in x-perts walks like a VERY butch guy in drag! Lol😄
Damn, I thought Double Dragon 3 and Super Thunder Blade would have made the list.
And Atari took advantage of this and wrote their USA version of Battlezone on european hardware so it runs proper and fast same with Stellar 7 those are a few games you have to use a USA commodore 64 to play as intended and stunt car racer by Epyx originally written for USA c64 and rescue on fractulus written for the faster USA C64.
The Wolverine game I think is misunderstood. I find it quite good! If you actually learn the controls, which only took me about 5mins, then I was kicking ass! Quite surprised how agile Wolverine is, I did not have the trouble you did
Nightmare Circus is still my number one. Awesome Possum at least seems playable and almost so bad it's good, so you can have SOME entertainment out of it. That's impossible with Nightmare Circus, it's just depressing.
Stormlord and Deliverance Stormlord II (Hewson) were great on C64
OMG I totally forgot about that game World Cup Itali 1990 I had got that when I was a kid in the early 90s. It was a 3 pack game Super Hang-on, Colums, and World Cup.
I used to love Ka Ge Ki when I was a kid, I found the sound clips absolutely hilarious.
Italia 90!! XD
"GAAAAARRRRRRGH"
supahdupahguy81 fuck man that game fucking sucked it makes me so angry. That and Flicky where the two worse mega drive games ever made.
The CD-I port of Dark Castle is EVEN WORSE. Trust me. You have to see it for yourself.
And I've just uploaded 16 definitive games for MD imho! They are on the top of my videos' list.
Amazing video!
loved Italia 90 really did
Glad I'm not the only one. Multiplayer especially is just great.
Garry Cowan GOOOAAL!
Tubeite GAaaaaaahh!
"Irritated ornary" is a risky phrase for this dude.
I've never played Wolverine Adamantium Rage but I want to. To see for myself how bad it is. The graphics look all right but it's gameplay is what's really terrible. However it does have several Game Genie codes to make it easier to get through. So I'll do that sometime!
Anyone else notice some blank/black screen sections in the video or is it just me? Take a look at the Rastan part for example.
What a bunch of truly wubbish games
i know most of the sega genesis games wasnt that great just a few of them that was awsome
twuly
I got off at Wise of Le Wobots
not really
+daminmancejin Genesis was an excellent system.
I've just bought a Mega Drive so this is a good warning for my future game purchases online for my retro collecting.
Id nominate an amiga port for worst game. Fatal Rewind/the killing game show. Its not just a bad port its broken. My uncle had a video shop and I 'clocked' every game he had except fatal rewind. It didnt stop me trying and the memory of the frustration still haunts me.
nice choice for the music at the start of the vid the shining force music takes me back
Aaaargh what's that music at the start? It's driving me nuts. I know it's a JRPG, but which one? My first thought is that it's Suikoden, but it sounds more 16-bit than that... one of the FFs? Chrono Trigger? Maybe something on the Mega Drive? Shining Force? Actually, yeah, I think it's Shining Force 1 or 2... I'm gonna have to see if I can find out...
EDIT: Yup, it was Shining Force 2. Now, should I delete this comment? Well, obviously I'm not going to, since I took the time to edit this in. ... What am I doing with my life!?
What's that intro music? I quite like it.
Likewise, I recognize it very distinctly but can't place it... Someone please help, cuz now it's going to drive me crazy!
Richard Craig
I can't remember exactly what it is, but it's from one of the Shining Force games.
Kimble Justice its from shining force 2 its from the first town as soon as you start the game
one of the best rpgs ever released
Ah-ha! I forget that I played that game a good bit way back in the day before I realized I didn't like strategy RPGs, so I haven't played it since but still remember a lot of the music. It's a shame I hate the battle system, cuz otherwise it is an excellent RPG.
Shining Force II, one of my favourite games of all time! Sadly the ending is horribly and wrongly done in my opinion but it definitely doesn't put me off this classic though :)
0:16 it worked with James Rolfe. lol
Isn't dark castle even worse on the CD-i?
Was thinking the same thing...
It sure is
i think playing fantasia should have a drinking game attached to it to make it more enjoyible cos every time you die you take a shot.
Strider 2 sucks but it only gets on lists like this because it's a sequel to a very popular game.
Italia 90 has some of the best sound effects! What else can you score 400 a side on?
It's like why in Europe Nemesis for Commodore 64 was too slow but in USA we loved it and it was so much better than NES written on Japanese NTSC C64's which were faster it ran great here but also European games ran like a chicken on cocaine on USA systems and USA games ran too slow on PAL systems it's a shame we couldn't have just had an international standard back then like MSX tried to do and failed so horribly...but a small success with Tandy PC and NEC PC we got some great Japanese games for them like YS!
Good shout on Italia 90, seconded only to Soccer Mania (GB) as the poorest soccer game. There's a reason Sega included it "free" on Mega Games.
