TOP TEN WORST HUCARDS SURVEY

[OldRover]

You know the drill.

[Arjak]

And then, all of a sudden, as every current member tried to post their hate for Gempei Toumaden, the forum crashed.

[Sinistron]

1- TURRICAN (the most unplayable POS I've come across)
2- TV SPORTS BASKETBALL (see above)
3- BATTLE ROYALE (see above)
4- BULLFIGHT (see above)
5- GENPEI TOUMADEN (see above)
6- TITAN (the music alone is enough reason to make you want to kill yourself)
7- CHAMPIONS FOREVER BOXING (this is boxing?)
8- RASTAN SAGA II (flaming heap of shit)
9- TRICKY KICK (it's tricky- shit yeah.  There's also however no "kick" to be had)
10- NIGHT CREATURES (controls like total shit)

Dishonorable wet dog: DOUBLE DUNGEONS 

[rolins]

@Sinistron

Why Tricky Kick? I remember it being a fun puzzle game. Played it alot when I used to have TE.

[MurderDate]

7- CHAMPIONS FOREVER BOXING (this is boxing?)

haha, I agree. Sorry dude.  O:)

9- TRICKY KICK (it's tricky- shit yeah.  There's also however no "kick" to be had)

yeah, I hate it.

10- NIGHT CREATURES (controls like total shit)

honestly I can't wait to play this one.

[Sinistron]

@Sinistron

Why Tricky Kick? I remember it being a fun puzzle game. Played it alot when I used to have TE.

I actually played it a lot BITD too- but then again I also played Impossamole, Battle Royale and Talespin a lot back then too- didn't have as many games as I have now so I'd play everything that I had- no matter how rancid.
To be fair Tricky Kick is a nice attempt- but damn if I want to do a puzzle that is 100% devoid of action- I'd rather just go to the bathroom and bring a crossword puzzle.

[Sinistron]

7- CHAMPIONS FOREVER BOXING (this is boxing?)

haha, I agree. Sorry dude.  O:)

haha Joel I knew what I was getting into when I traded with you for that- I had CFB back in the day.  Another piece of crap that I played all the time back then.

[guyjin]

man, there's a lot of bad hucards, but putting them in order of suckiness?

1.Pac land
2.time ball
3.Takin' it to the hoop
4.tv sports basketball
5.tv sports football
6.tv sports hockey
7.world class baseball
8.power golf
9.ballistix
10.?

can you tell I don't like sports games? 

edit: i kinda pulled tennis out of my ass. I figured 'as long as there's a sports game theme here...'

[Sinistron]

  wow world court tennis, really?  man that game almost made my top ten best.
a forking BLAST with four players and that RPG mode is almost as good as the final lap twin one...

[NecroPhile]

1. Genpei Toumaden
2. Drop Off
3. Timeball
4. Wonder Momo
5. Gunboat
6. Ballistix
7. Impossamole
8. Falcon
9. Artist Tool
10. Talespin

Dishonorable mention for worst HuCard shmup: Deep Blue.  <-- Just to rile up nat. 

I almost put up Circus Lido, but it's alright for a puzzle type game, just damn monotonous.

[OldRover]

Okay, guess it's my turn.

1. New Zealand Story
2. Altered Beast
3. Pac-Land
4. Talespin
5. Veigues Tactical Gladiator
6. Impossamole
7. JJ And Jeff
8. Darkwing Duck
9. China Warrior
10. The Legendary Axe

I didn't add any sports games because these would otherwise flood the top stinkers list of just about everyone.

[MurderDate]

holy jeez when I suggested this I never thought I'd see my beauties up there ..!!   Impossamole, JJ Jeff, Darkwing D, Pac-land, China Warrior, Legendary Axe ??!??  Youre going to create a tidal wave with that VTG.. 
I like to call it "Vegas Tacticle Gladiator"    makes me laugh

Whether or not people like my decision is irrelevant...this isn't a popularity contest. I actually LIKE China Warrior, but even I can admit it's one of the worst games ever made for the console.

[Sinistron]

what have you got against VTG rove?  I feel that game is amazing.

[nectarsis]

^ And so it begins...lol

[OldRover]

what have you got against Turrican sini?  I feel that game is amazing.

[Sinistron]

we talked about that one already rove- you never told me why you hate VTG though.

[OldRover]

I never did understand what you didn't like about it. But why don't I like VTG? Because it controls like shit, looks like ass, and sounds like it is being played in a chicken coop. That about sums it up.

lol that's funny- that's pretty much how I feel about Turrican

[OldRover]

Fair enough. Actually, I don't like the fact that the PCE port of Turrican has only a few soundtracks and the graphics look a bit washed out, but it's still highly playable IMO.

[td741]

Of the ones I've played/own

1. Obocchama Kun
2. China Warrior
3. Super Metal Crusher (How are you supposed to play this?)
4. Power Drift
5. Silent Debuggers
6. Legend of Hero Tonma
7. Wonder Momo
8. Samurai Ghost
9. World Sports Competition (nice attempt but...)
10. Boxy Boy (yay, another sokoban *yawn*)

[Sinistron]

  Obocchama Kun is a sweet!

[Joe Redifer]

Quit listing PCE games, people.  This is the TURBO forum.

[td741]

Well, in that case it should be called "Top Ten Worst *TURBOCHIPS* Survey" instead of "HuCards".

[OldRover]

Joe, don't be so fucking anal. I'm sick to goddamn death of this whole segregation vs non-segregation issue.

[Joe Redifer]

But if we don't be anal, we might confuse the new members.

[guyjin]

I'll do something to your anal...

[bust3dstr8]

Oh well, I can dream...right?

[Ceti Alpha]

I actually played it (Tricky Kick) a lot BITD too- but then again I also played Impossamole, Battle Royale and Talespin a lot back then too- didn't have as many games as I have now so I'd play everything that I had- no matter how rancid.

haha. I was in the same boat Sinistron. Falcon got more action in my house than it probably deserved. lol

[NecroPhile]

/nukeb.jpg

Mwuhahahaha!

[nat]

 

[bust3dstr8]

I don't think I could put together a top ten stinkers, most games I find something to like about them.
Deep Blue on the other hand; I detest with every once of my being. It is the only game I can think of
that is 100% complete and utter worthless shit. The only way I could be amused with Deep Blue is
if someone gave my a van full of Deep Blue games and a brush chipper.

[rag-time4]

Rock On is the worst game I've played, and the only HuCard game I own that I really can't stand. Sometimes I play it anyway, just for the heck of it, but it's really horrible.

But as Joe has pointed out, it's a Japanese game, so i don't know if it qualifies.

[Joe Redifer]

Well, in that case it should be called "Top Ten Worst *TURBOCHIPS* Survey" instead of "HuCards".

Actually I'm pretty sure that "TurboChips" say "HuCard" on the back.

[OldRover]

Both US and JP cards are valid for these surveys.

[nat]

10. Falcon
9. Takin' it to the Hoop
8. Toilet Kids
7. Energy
6. Xevious
5. Super Momo Tarou Dentetsu II
4. Super Momo Tarou Dentetsu
3. JJ & Jeff
2. Talespin

And the winner of the Most Craptacular Shitfest competition is.....

1. Genpei Toumaden

[runinruder]

JJ & Jeff
Bravoman
Blodia
Falcon
Genpei Toumaden
Magical Chase
Neutopia II
Ordyne
Power Golf
World Court Tennis

[geise]

Magical Chase
Neutopia II
Ordyne

Just wondering why you don't like these games?  Just surprised to see them in someone's list.

[nat]

Ordyne is pretty crappy, you have to admit. Crappy graphics, crappy music, boring gameplay. I guess it controls alright. It's passable if for some reason it's the only game you own.

[Sinistron]

Definitely agree on Ordyne- one of the most underwhelming carts I own.  A two-player shooter shouldn't be so damn dull- I have little desire to ever play it.

[SignOfZeta]

Circus Lido: An Amstrad game, basically, only shittier.

Energy: An FC game, only shittier. I like the cover a lot for some reason.

Darkwing Duck: It took me well over a decade to trade this thing away because I didn't have the box for it, and people only want this thing to complete a US collection, and therefore the box more important than the code in the game.

Darius Alpha: as a freebie, which is what it was supposed to be, its nice. As a $600 bare HuCard though, its crap. There is no point to playing it at all.

The Kung Fu: I think we all understand this one.

Night Creatures: My word. Such garbage! The art looks sub-5th grade and the control is terrible. Your attacks stick out about 4 pixels.

Appare! Gateball: Junk. Great idea, but its junk.

Wallaby!!: See "Appare! Gateball"

Strip Fighter II: An "erotic" fighting game that is far less erotic than a standard fighting game. R. Crumb would *love* it though, wouldn't he?

All Firepro HuCards: I'm a big FP fan, but the series was garbage back then. Total garbage.

[Turbo D]

Magical Chase

[Kitsunexus]

I like everything.

[esteban]

Christ Almighty, for the umpteenth time I must defend the honor of Blodia (Timeball) and Kung Fu (China Warrior).

So, search the old posts, you lazy bastards.

[CrackTiger]

All I know is that the worst HuCard ever is F1 Pilot You're King of Kings.

I bought it for like $5 new during a trip to the big city and have never felt more disappointed with a PCE/Turbo game purchase. It feels like a super early demo of what would eventually become a real game.

The shading pattern in the sky of one of the stages is what I used to describe the pixelly haze of PSX games for years.
