3DO ZONE Forums

I consider myself an expert on bad. I don't consider no effort and a bad game actually as bad as loads of effort and still a bad game.

For example. Plumbers don't wear ties is bad - but clearly there was no effort put into making, so it's therefore not as bad as say Megarace which had lots and lots of effort and was still bad. So - using my Sun Tsu like deving rod of badness I nominate the following bad 3DO games. In no particular order.

1. Primal Rage. [/cough]
2. Doom.
3. Cyberdillo.
4. BC racer
5. Megarace.

I will agree with your list, but Primal Rage for however bad it may be must bow to SHADOW war of SUCKession LOLZ

Ohhhh, not megarace and (cough) the other one i had a great time with them. Please dont be so harsh, there are plenty of games to bury...

I forgot shadow. yes. yes indeed. that was bad.

You liked megarace? With megarace I actually liked the cities. Gaming graphic developers go through fads don't they? Like in-game graphic fashions, where an effect gets into every game, because it's new and looks a bit cool.

For example:

We had lens flare. That was big for a while. Games that didn't have lights had lens flare all the same. Everywhere you looked in a game some lens was flaring. I believe Ridge Racer Revolution kicked it off formally.

Then there was water. Many games that didn't need it, featured lovely rippling water effects. First it was pre-rendered water, eventually it was realtime water.

More recently we had Horses. Every game had a Horse. it was like, the games about cars and tanks and Metal gears - but here's a lovely horse I made. Yes. Good. In case you can't be arsed to read my blog, and who would blame you, i hate horse. I ate horses

but back in the day when megarace was around they loved their bright whites. Oh indeed. buildings, spaceship engines, stars, anything, anything with white was made extra eye-squintingly bright. Megarace was the first time I began to notice the Bright White fetish sweeping the gaming industry.

Maybe megarace doesn't belong on there actually.

hmmm. Wolfenstein - that was crap too.

I did play megarace quite a bit. OK.

You really didn't like Wolfenstein? Did you like Wolfenstein on any platform, or was it just the 3DO version you didn't like?

I really liked Wolfenstein on 3do, specially the enhanced music title.
Err.. well. At that time, I liked (cof, cof) Doom too.

I find it tragic that the snes version of doom demolishes the 3do one. Although it has no textured ceilings or walls it has a good frame rate. At least the 3do has a great soundtrack...

I have to admit. snes doom was the first doom i played. IT was actually pretty fun if you werent spoiled by the PC version. But once I played the PC version...... Never going back.

My initial experience with Doom was that my pc played it crazy slow for whatever reason so the snes was an improvement in speed anyways... If I remember correctly my pc was a 386sx 33mhz lol. The good ol days

Thank you, Dengar.

I bumped my head on a wall several times trying to forget this evil little game. When I had success, I forgot who I was and wander several days until someone finds me, and brings me home.

Now that you remind me, I'll have to do it again
