Umm, Gold Medalist. But it's great, even though I need to make up an adapter to reconfigure the controls. I don't keep crap games.

Re: Whats the worst arcade game you own?
I love the massive sprites, I just find it plays really badly. Burning Fight and Tecmo world cup or whatever on the Neo are pretty awful too. I don't think I've ever really bought any **** PCBs though, just a few cheap Neo carts that have been impulse purchases

I have Street Hoops on NeoGeo MVS that takes some beating as a crap game although Ghost Pilots comes close.

I wouldn't say I have any bad games. I try to keep the crap out.
Kernow raises a good point about the older stuff. My oldest PCB is probably Daimakaimura. I know a lot of people love the 80s stuff but I can only appreciate the nostalgia value of most of em. The shooters are very bland compared to the best of the last 15 years.

Running it in mame with 400% overclock rather than real hardware makes it play much better.

Re: Whats the worst arcade game you own?
I'll have to second the person who said Art of Fighting, though Fatal Fury plays pretty craptacularly as well. Don't get me wrong, I love them despite all of their cheesiness if for no other reason than nostalgia, but they really are horrid games in retrospect.

I despise pre rendered sprites. the music more than makes up for it though.theevilfunkster wrote:I wouldn't say it was a bad game, but the art style they went with is absolutely dreadful.theman wrote:Others will probably disagree but mine's SHOCK TROOPERS 2 (came with the cab though).
Mine would have to be World heroes. I just dislike that game.

Re: Whats the worst arcade game you own?
I don't really think I own a **** arcade game. I was given an original Street Fighter as a gift, so I wouldn't call it '****' because of sentimental value. I tend to not hold on to arcade stuff unless it's good, truth is it takes up so much room. I have, in the past, owned some pretty terrible MVS game. But those have all been moved on.

I would love Blazing Star so much more if it were just hand drawn sprites... it's a crime.Lordstar wrote: ...I despise pre rendered sprites. the music more than makes up for it though.

Re: Whats the worst arcade game you own?
I really hate pre rendered sprites but I'd say Blazing Star and Pulstar are exceptions in the world of pre rendered crappery, I think they both look great. I find Shock Troopers 2, Prehistoric Isle 2 and especially Ragnagard look extremely crappy. The Crystal Of Kings may be one of the ugliest pre rendered games I've ever seen though.Blaine wrote:I would love Blazing Star so much more if it were just hand drawn sprites... it's a crime.Lordstar wrote: ...I despise pre rendered sprites. the music more than makes up for it though.

Re: Whats the worst arcade game you own?
MVS is the weakest link.
I quite like World Heroes, Fatal Fury & AOF, but 8 Man & Burning Fight are the 2 biggest piles of crap in my collection. Oh & I have Top Hunter, But I like that

8 Man is pretty bad. I like Top Hunter too. Truthfully, so long as you don't have a Legend of Success Joe I think you're doing alright.markedkiller78 wrote:MVS is the weakest link.

Re: Whats the worst arcade game you own?
I got some god-awful "racing" game called F-1 Dream along with two other games (which I wanted). am keeping it as a test board as I really wouldn't care if it got fried (at which point I'll find out it's incredibly rare and worth lots!).
