Worst FDS game?

[JC]

I'm gonna say it's Relics: Ankoku Yousai. And I haven't played that many FDS games.

But why am I sure it's Relics? You really ought to try the first level: your character wears a red spacesuit; diagonal jumping is rigid; to turn around, you have to press up and then the opposite direction; you have to crouch and poke your first enemy to death with some type of red rod; you can't climb worth crap, looks like he's dancing up the vines; and every few steps the game stops to load -- I'm not joking. And if you die once -- which isn't hard to do -- the game makes you flip to Side A to see the Continue screen and then flip back to Side B to start playing again. Oh, and you don't actually die; the game says: "You lost your body."

The only cool feature: If you jab some walls with your red rod, they disintegrate to reveal stuff.

I so want to review this for the site...

I totally agree about Relics!
Have you ever played Fire Bam? I think I had to flip the disk from Side B to Side A back & forth over a dozen times on the first level. It was so frustrating that I quit playing it. Although the game itself is fun. I'd love to find it on a cart.

Hmm...I'm gonna have to try Fire Bam. I think I've got a pirate of it.

Any other terrible FDS games, guys?

[ericj]

Transformers is also terrible FDS/cart game. Kamen Rider Black is also pretty bad.

[djdac]

Relics is almost unplayable. I'd say its one of the worst games I've ever played.

[Hongou]

I agree Kamen Rider Black is pretty bad. Any game where up is kick or jump or anything like that is pretty bad in my opinion. New to the forum but lovin' it so far.

Rush'n Attack (Green Beret) used Up to jump... & that's probably where it went wrong.

[FamicomFreak]

Doki doki panic! Just kidding! I gotta give relics a try.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

I wouldn't rag on anyone if they said Super Mario Bros. 2 - that was more of a Luigi game...

[mobiusclimber]

Definitely Aspic for me. Ugly, frustrating, repetitive... just doesn't even start to describe it.

[Zeloz (akaBill)]

I'm tied between Cocona World (Sluggish, ugly, and... how in the hell do you even play it?) and Deep Dungeon (Looks like a decent dungeon crawler, until you realize the programmers probably never even finished making the game, what with options that do nothing, broken damage system, and the start button having no function other than to somewhat mute the awful music).

And on Relics, I've played it before and it's pretty bad. It's not as bad as it's MSX brother, though (and wouldn't you believe it's actually on the iPhone/iPod Touch app store for $5?)

Dirty Pair is released today!

By the way, just so everyone knows - when I was browsing through the list of FDS games, I came across Dirty Pair, wondering if it was a Hentai game.

I looked it up, & discovered an interesting series:

By the way, I think we have a new low for our "Worst FDS Game" list:

By the way, I read a post that says it wasn't even based off the movie:

Edit: By the way, apparently it's based off this movie:

I have the Dirty Pair: Project Eden FDS game, and it's not that bad. It's clunky and awkward like many early Famicom games, but it's not unplayable, I can get through the first 2-3 levels without dying.

And the anime series is great, especially the Project Eden movie, but the two movie OVA's are good, plus the OVA series. The television show is finally getting released on DVD in the U.S. thanks to Rightstuf.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

I instantly started getting interested in this series. I mean, two hot, genetically upgraded girls who's missions they accomplish always end up in catastrophe (not necessarily  being their fault ).

So what would you recommend first? The animé series? The movies?

Is Fatal but not Serious only a manga? The whole plot of that seems wicked!

I think the worst game is that Titanic title where the girl is in a red swimsuit and you really have no clue what to do...please let me know if I am wrong, but why a game out of the Titanic?
