Remembering the horrible games of old

Two words: Sewer and Shark. I think this was the game that came with my Sega CD. It was so bad, that it's making me angry thinking about it right now. Seriously!

Shaq-Fu.

'Nuff said.

When my parents got me a playstation for christmas way back when it first came out, they got me this game with it. I guess they didn't know any better, I had a SNES and the game street fighter II, so they assumed I'd like it. Amazingly, it was far far far worse than the SNES game.

I thought Raul Julia’s last job was the thing on Showtime that took place South America.

It's called Down Came the Blackbird.

My worst game experience?? ever?? I got 3 I can remember which were the first dissapointments In video games which I tought were not possible!!!

1. My friends and I rented "Friday the 13th" and we all got together at 12:00 am to make it more scary and creep us out. we even smuggled some beers and 2 pizzas for the long night. Holy shit! we found out after 7 minutes this thing was a piece of caca! we ended up going back to our each of houses for games actually any good. But Little Nemo in Slumberland was scary enough to play at midnight... good times...

2. A game called Xanadu for the NES. I rented a game every weekend so you can imagine me trying to get something out of it for 48 hours!! man, that weekend sucked!!!

3. The Ninja Turtles Game that had an overview, I can remember you couldn't even tell the difference from each of the turtles!! or even Splinter the rat!! and I liked the turtles so much I even finished the game!! I actually was up to the cashier thinking of buying it, knowing it was to crappy, but let it and someone else bought it right away, and ended up pretty mad, since I mostly wanted it as a Ninja Turtles colector item thing. but now That remember, That was the first time I felt some of the Tv or Movie Franchises don't carry well into video games, and even worst if they were made by Akklaim.

My god, I'm Old I was in jr. high when Street fighter movie came out. you were a kid?? maybe I should make a Joystiq for older gamers something like "JoystiGQ"

I forgot to mention, Have anyone of you seen that part in a Jackie Chan movie he turn into some of Street Fighter characters after falling on top of an arcade?? that 2 minute scene, was better than the this whole big budget movie! does anyone know what I'm talking about. search for it if you haven't seen it. Pretty funny.

Wait, did someone say Shaq Fu?

I'm also finding it classic that I played all three games vakerorokero mentioned - and the title you're looking for on the second one is Faxanadu. I played that more than was healthy, too.

Also worth noting that more writers on Netjak than could possibly be called healthy get a kick out of quoting the Street Fighter movie.

Vakerorokero, the movie's title is CityHunter. It was based on a manga of the same name. Jackie's enemy (Ken Master) was played by Gary Daniel. Gary Daniel also played in the movie Fist of the north star *doh!*

"Leave it to Netjak to write a retro review so funny, I actually miss playing it."

I'm sorry, but could someone point out 3 really funny lines from this review? I mean really. It's not that funny.

Don't get me wrong, there is some really funny stuff on Netjak, but this ain't it. It's as if the poster of this story just called it "funny" because it was Netjak, without even thinking or something.

This was the only funny part I could find:

"In this mode, you take Guile, played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, through each stage of “the movie” until you face Bison himself. Now, the reason why I used parentheses is this: the movie mode in this game doesn’t even follow the original script. "

Yeah, um. Parentheses? I usually call those double quotes. :-)

Here is a link to that CityHunter (Street Fighter 2 clip) you guys are talking about... soooo gooooood!

My worset experience that I don't like Zelda: Link the advantage for NES. It's too weird for me. (-_-)

Hey let us not forget, street fighter II the movie also had Ming-Na in it as chun-li. What an asian hottie...

I still play SF:The Movie occasionally. Its quite funny to play, but somewhat infuriating that they changed some of the moves.

All Ninja Turtles games were awesome. You take that back!! ;)

Seriously...Ninja Turtles 1 on the Nintento was one of my favorite games ever.

Q:

City Hunter was an AWESOME movie.

If you just can't get enough crazy Chinese live-action Street Fighter fun, check out "Future Cops".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106545/combined

A lot of times Chinese movies can't get "licensing" rights to what's popular...but that doens't stop them from making a movie about it.

M. Bison is sentenced to be executed. Unfrotunately, on the day of his execution, Bison escapes and goes back in time. So, to stop him, 3 cops from the future go back to save him...Guile, Dhalsim, and Vega. (Ryu gets to stay home, because he's the Chief of Police's brother in law.)

So the 3 cops, arrive and have to look for a judge...but none of them know who he is...just what high school he attends. So the three of them befriend a student and enroll in school. Of course...they end up getting romantically entangled. (Chingmy Yau looks quite nice in the movie.)

You can probably find it for $10 somewhere on DVD. If you enjoy cheesy movies...this is pretty good.
