Support NeoGAF

[dragonzdogma]

I cant seriously think of any neo geo games that sucked, I mean sure some might not be that great for today standards but they were awesome in their era.

I'll give it a shot, um... Mutation nation?
Still,that game was rad.

 

[Phediuk]

Legend of Success Joe is pretty terrible.

 

[bigkrev]

The super spy was never a fun game, even if it was really pretty to look at

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Legend of Success Joe is probably the worst game, yeah.

Power Spikes 2 was awful. Super Spy was terrible. Thrash Rally was weak. Art of Fighting really wasn't very good (except for 3, which was actually pretty rad.)

But the library was pretty damn consistent overall. Such a great system.

 

[Warxard]

KOF2000 isn't good.

 

[HStallion]

I read that as NeoGAF at first and was like,"Hourly?"

 

[Tripon]

You never played SNK Vs. Capcom.

 

[Phediuk]

The super spy was never a fun game, even if it was really pretty to look at

What's really weird about The Super Spy is how long it is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSrQ8cbQSYc

Seriously, 2 hours for one playthrough? This has to be the longest arcade game I know of.

 

[ZeroCDR]

You never played SNK Vs. Capcom.

Game is busted, but still a blast to play.

 

[ascii42]

Legend of Success Joe is pretty terrible.

Yeah, I think that's generally considered the worst. Though the way the title is phrased made me think of SNK specifically. What's considered the worst game for the Neo Geo made by SNK?

 

[dragonzdogma]

KOF2000 isn't good.

Oh come on

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Oh come on

2001 actually is bad, though. 2000 was still great.

 

[AmyS]

Sure, one of the earliest games, Cyber-Lip.

 

[dragonzdogma]

2001 actually is bad, though. 2000 was still great.

Double oh come on, seriously ?

I'm talking about bad as in ET from atari bad.

Even the crapriest kof is till a 5 out 10

 

[Woo-Fu]

Considering their cost to manufacture the cartridges I bet they had some pretty intense certification for deciding which games made the cut and which didn't.

 

[exmachina64]

Sure, one of the earliest games, Cyber-Lip.

So much on-the-nose symbolism.

 

[entremet]

Sure, one of the earliest games, Cyber-Lip.

LMAO.

Gotta love the 90s.

 

[Glowsquid]

@OP: Mutation Nation is awesome. As far as SNK beat'em ups go, Burning Fight and the first Sengoku are much shittier.

What's considered the worst game for the Neo Geo made by SNK?

prolly The Super Spy

Though

-Ghost pilots
-Football Frenzy
-Top Player's Golf

are also kind of weak.

shitty third-party games:

-Fight Fever
-Power Spikes 2
-Legend of Success Joe

Thrash Rally was weak

I find Thrash Rally to be a lot more fun than Overtop. I usually hate 2D racing games but I really like it for whatever reason.

 

[GuyKazama]

The Super Spy had great atmosphere. Good game to zone out to while drinking.

 

[L Thammy]

Double oh come on, seriously ?

If better than E.T. for the Atari is your baseline, you're not exactly demanding rigorous standards.

 

[Rymuth]

2001 actually is bad, though. 2000 was still great.

The correct answer.

 

[Glowsquid]

The Super Spy had great atmosphere. Good game to zone out to while drinking.

That describe a lot of the early games, I think, Games like Sengoku and Crossed Swodrs are totally broken if you try to play them "seriously" but they're fun as mindless quarter-munchers with infinite credits.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

some kofs are terrible.

 

[capitalCORN]

Erm, SNK was probably one of the most egregious offenders in the 'arcade game design' field. Most of the games they produced were very much quarter munchers in the worst way.

 

[AmyS]

Lets look at the Neo Geo from the perspective of U.S. print magazine coverage in 1990.

Electronic Gaming Monthly - Video Games & Computer Entertainment - GamePro - Game Informer.

A time before all the SNK fighters began to arrive.

 

[dadjumper]

Karnov's Revenge, Rage of the Dragons, Ragnagard, Savage Reign and the World Heroes series are all not very good imo.

 

[Hayama Akito]

Karnov's Revenge

WTF are you talking about, that game is awesome.

For me the worst Neogeo game is Fight Fever, it was made in Korea... still can't understand how it was released as an official Neogeo game.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Money Puzzle Exchanger

Take away the magical girls and you're left with a dull, overly-convoluted Magical Drop wannabe.

NOPE Money Idol Exchanger is one of the best puzzle games, and much more strategic than Magical Drop (which is also great, but different)

WAIT WHAT, no sir, no no no no.

 

[vala]

Metal Slug 4

But the library was pretty damn consistent overall. Such a great system.

Ignoring the gorgeous graphics, AOF 3 is by far the most boring of the 3 games. 1 is still funny on SP, and the versus in AOF 2 is amazing

3 count bout is an awful wrestling game, the single player is almost unwinnable. Magician Lord is horrible too, funny engrish voices aside

Lets look at the Neo Geo from the perspective of U.S. print magazine coverage in 1990.

I love the comment on the Game Boy.

"Conceived as a joke on the intelligence of mankind, this soon to be extinct contraption is strictly too difficult and painful to play."

 

[Armoured Priest]

Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer was kind of crap.

 

[Glowsquid]

For me the worst Neogeo game is Fight Fever, it was made in Korea... still can't understand how it was released as an official Neogeo game.

the developer was SNK's Korean distributor

----

I forgot it in my list above, but Gururin is a pretty horrible puzzle game.

 

[Hyun Sai]

KoF99 made me switch to Tekken series, it was that bad.

Ah, yeah, Art of Fighting 3, that was really something else...

 

[Menitta]

KoF99 made me switch to Tekken series, it was that bad.

Ah, yeah, Art of Fighting 3, that was really something else...

But 98 should've kept you...

It all began in 94.

 

[fernoca]

World Heroes always felt....underwhelming to me. I kinda enjoyed it, but it also felt like a ripoff of their own games.

It technically wasn't developed by them, but it would've been as if Nintendo published Giana Sisters along Mario Bros.

 

[Glowsquid]

world heroes perfect is legit

 

[MooMilk2929]

I love World Heroes, especially on SNES. I never played 2 or perfect much tho.

 

[Varth]

I'll be the one to say I LOVE Cyber-Lip. Unwinnable single player games like 3countBout or King of Monsters are WAY worse.

 

[foltzie1]

It's price?

Didn't realize the GB was hated on that much...

 

[bobawesome]

Read as NeoGAF and thought this was going to be a Turok thread.

 

[foltzie1]

Didn't realize the GB was hated on that much...

Oh the complaints were valid, but you practically had to be a journalist with an ac adapter to enjoy the other portable systems and sales reflected that reality.

The $99 dollar price and long life on batteries played well with the masses.

 

[Freshmaker]

Still,that game was rad.

Magician Lord (It looked good. That's about where the game stopped mattering tho.)
Sengoku (Super repetitive.)
Burning Fight (Final Fight clone with fewer options/depth.)

 

[Phediuk]

Didn't realize the GB was hated on that much...

I completely agree with them tbqh. Never found the Game Boy to be a fun device to play on at all. Everything was a blurry, mushy mess.

It's more tolerable when emulated, though.

 

[iidesuyo]

The $99 dollar price and long life on batteries played well with the masses.

It also had a lot of great games from the beginning.

Those were typical sentiments back in the day. Before Pokemon came along, it was common to hear things about it like "good for playing Tetris on airplanes and little else."

Pretty much.

 

[Ashtar]

Never played the game but the anime was poop on a stick
