- The absolute worst game was this Sierra game where you fly a plane
- and do tricks, but if you crash, your computer literally crashes too.
- After 20 minutes of this I felt like shooting the computer.
- Their boxing game wasn't much better. It contained one-color boxers
- and type-in stats that were supposed to be info for the action during the
- round, which you didn't control. It was interesting how a 7'5" boxer and
- a 5'1" boxer were the same size...
- There was another game that was supposed to be numerous games in one,
- and all of them were terrible, but one involved you flying around in a
- dinky space ship in Egypt shooting camels for no apparent reason.
- Anyone see Street Fighter II for the C-64? I'm SO tempted to write
- my own version after what these people pulled. Sure it isn't one of the
- worst games, but it does such injustice to the 64 such as:
- -people's faces being grey
- -tiny fighters with bad backgrounds that look like Doodle! accidents
- -the same song over and over and over and over and over and over and...
- -when the timer's off, and you barely are alive after a round, the timer
- keeps
- subtracting even though there is no timer
- I'm serious when I say I want to make a new version. Even that
- "Sticks of Death" game, made in 198x, surpassed it, so I'm seeing what I
- can do.
- 7572!
