Games that only you played - Page 4

Yeah, EWJ3D kinda sucked. It had potential. The graphics were good for N64 and kept the humor of its predecessors. The controls were frustrating and the camera was horrible. Not only that, but the game itself was confusing at times. I spent quite a bit of time wandering around the levels looking for something I'm supposed to be doing.
And while I'm a guy who likes a challenge, EWJ3D was a bit too hard. Probably not intentionally, due to the aforementioned camera, control, and confusion issues. Especially the boss fights (surfing on a pig=Funny. Controlling Jim as he does so=nightmare)

If you wanna play Earthworm Jim, go with the better-known 16-bit games.

^But you could get a free pager.

Yoshis safari anyone?

Or

Excitebike mario edition?

Metal Mario · 01-19-2010, 02:09 PM

Yoshi's Safari, yes. Played that many a time with my sister when we were kids. We'd take turns so that one of us was using the Super Scope and the other one was steering Yoshi with the regular controller.

The only one I can think of is Mischief Makers. :/ Didn't play it for long, because it made me so dizzy.

Crav had the game gear version of that when we were younger. Not really a fun game, but I was determined to play through it.

Metal Mario · 02-04-2010, 01:48 AM

I have Taz-Mania for Super NES. Although I'm not sure if they're really the same game at all.

t3hDarkness · 02-04-2010, 01:54 AM

Did anyone else play Fallout Tactics?

Its not Fallout 2, but at least once per year blind fanboyism compels me to give it another go.

TheEvilDM · 02-11-2010, 09:09 PM

Kartia. Nobody seems to know it existed but me.

**Loot** · 06-22-2010, 09:40 AM

I still have a few downloads left on my ticket for Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics from some online store. I should redownload them sometime.

Also, it's cheating, but nobody here has probably gotten as far as I have on La Mulana. I win.

Dr. Furball · 06-24-2010, 02:17 PM

A Visual Novel trying to be a dating sim. Meh. Characters are well-drawn, and the dialogue was kinda funny at times. But nothing too impressive. ~~The hippie chick was kinda cute, though.~~

Metal Man · 06-24-2010, 05:02 PM

Shadow the Hedgehog, Awesome Possum.

Two horrible games. One with horrible story. The other with horrible everything.

I actually all A-ranked shadow the Hedgehog. And -nearly- beat Awesome Possum without savestates.

**Galefore** · 06-24-2010, 07:04 PM

Remembered what that scrap metal game was. It was called Metal Walker.

It was actually pretty decent for a Pokemon ripoff. The battle system wasn't anything like Pokemon, and it was way more action oriented. The evolutions were pretty bitchin', too. I may grab a ROM of this and give 'er another whirl...

Random User · 06-30-2010, 11:27 AM

I can never beat Jason in this game, but what really irritates me is the game over screen.

Jere · 06-30-2010, 12:58 PM

Ive played that one, it's kind of irritating

**Valigarmander** · 06-30-2010, 08:13 PM

That game is about Friday the 13th, and has zombies.

What the hell?

Stanley the Bugman · 07-03-2010, 02:00 PM

Not too long ago I was at my local Wal-Mart, and some lady was wearing a shirt with that cover on it, absolutely ridiculous.

But yeah, way too underrated.

Dr. Furball · 07-16-2010, 03:15 AM

I'm assuming the PC, XBLA, and Mac versions are much better. This is not how to port a game to Wii. Half the time, the game's visuals are incredibly choppy, slowing the pacing of the story down considerably.
Aside from that, the game is good, though. Very funny (although the humor tends to get on the "Darker and Edgier" side near the end), and the intriguing plot kept me guessing the whole time. But I preferred Season One overall (which was a somewhat better port).

I do hope you mean you're the only one to play the Wii version.
