The Lynx has very few bad games but this is one of them: World Class Soccer

The zooming and scaling effects are brilliant but everything else is terrible. No matter who you pick you play in red and the other team plays in blue, I mean WTF have you ever seen Brazil wear read? The players jerk around and just kick the ball randomly, there are no tactics, it's near impossible to actually score and tackles never work. It's just awful in every possible way.

This one falls under the "looks can be deceiving" category!  Looks great, plays awful!

Here is another absolute shocker - Double Dragon V for the Jaguar.

I remember rushing to the shops to buy this when it came out and handing over £55 for my trouble! Never have I felt so ripped off in my life, it's pretty much unplayable in one player mode because all your opponent does it block. In 2-player it's a bit more playable but that still doesn't excuse the mostly awful graphics and sound and the fact they never bothered to finish it (it was supposed to have 4 more characters). Easily one of the worst fighting games ever and the kind of shit that gives the Jag a bad name:

One has to wonder why they bothered calling this Double Dragon to begin with.

Probably just to cash in on the name. I'm sure some people bought it just assuming it was another side scrolling beat 'em up like the rest of the series.

I believe it's actually based of the cartoon (which I have never seen) there was on-on-one version of Double Dragon for the Neo Geo too that had more familiar characters from the scrolling games like Linda, Abobo and Willy.

POD on Dreamcast was pretty goddamn awful. They created it solely to try and cash in on the Dreamcast's online functions, the game is completely devoid of character or soul, the cars drive like shit and the number of cars/tracks was severely limited... pretty poor to be fair and actually fairly disappointing as, without the crappy controls, it wouldn't have been too bad. One of the worst retail titles on DC

Rogue Trooper

Robobolt (C64)-Came with the 2nd hand C64 my folks bought and after 1 play could see why Zzap 64 scored it so low.

Ninja Master (A8)-waste of tape!

Xenocracy (PS1)-I love space combat games, did'nt wait for review, ordered direct from company and...OMG! it's awful.Burnt there.

Roadblasters C64-Again, did'nt wait for review, bought based on C+VG preview, fool that i was....

For anybody curious, here's the "best" moments of the cartoon compiled into one convienent place.

OHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's pretty bad nearly as bad as the 3do version

I actually think it runs OK but I just don't like the no music, but we've discussed this all before, I was used to the Saturn Version that everyone seems to say is the worst one around!
