Earthworm Jim 3D (N64).

Don't get me wrong, I love the original for SNES/Genesis, and I've heard that the second game is great...but EWJ3D was a major disappointment. Terrible camera, awful control, bland music, not-good level design...although the graphics were good for its time, and it was quite funny ("pork-boarding!"). But if you're wanting to try out Jim, go with the 16-bit games instead.

A Boy and his Blob. NES

I can think of only one positive said positive being that this game was created by the guy who mad the original pitfall game. However considering that that's the only positive you'll understand how even that works agenst this game.

^I liked that game.

Not quite like I like Maniac Mansion or Super Mario Bros, but it's a decent game.

You know they're making a sequel, right?

Any game by Strata. Especially Bloodstorm. One of the first games capable of making any passerby sick. Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side made me sick to my stomach as well (Namely the earth spike death on the train stage), but at least it was a good game to play. Bloodstorm is a terrible combination of Street Fighter-esque gameplay with Mortal Kombat ideas. Except Mortal Kombat didn't have limbs fly off and forced the opponent to keep fighting. Nor did it show any body organ (Except the heart.)

Yeah, I watched a Playthrough of that game. It required you to fall to your possible death of a Stalagtite/Stalagmite/the one that points up in order to fight a boss for the secret ending.

And the boss's name was Golem. And I believe you fought the boss in the same area you just were.

Also, one of the "Fatalities" caused the backround to change; which is just non-sensical.

Also, there was a sequal/prequal called Time Killers if I remember correctly.
