From what I seen it seems like the Neo Geo has the least amount of bad games then any other system.

Are there any really horrible games on Neo Geo?

From what I played I dont really like Art of Fighting but that game is not horrible or anything.

LOSJ

I have not played it myself, but I read a review that said it was soo bad that you don't even want it just because its a 'bad game'.

It went on to say that you should not even d/l the rom to play in mame.

Fight Fever is a horrible game. Bad graphics, bad control, bad music. Just about everything in it sucks.

Legend Of Success Joe is a crap game too. And to think, I love the anime based on it. :mad:

I like Mushiki, but I gotta say he's probably in the minority there.

Garou: MOTW is my personal favorite Neo Game...

It's fine with me if he doesn't like it, I have a problem with sheer ignorance. You can't say even if you don't like MOTW that its truly awful. There are plenty of games I don't like, especially anything in the RPG genre, but I can recognize a good game when I see it.

I agree with you 100%, there should be a fine distinction between taste/actual quality.

Garou MOTW, stacks up Head to head with anything on the system i'd say, GFX wise, and engine wise.

CurtWRX, I know you love it, you still cannot believe the moment you had both Japanese and US releases with you, right? ;)

lithy, I have a problem with ignorance as well, but I don't know what is the relation between that and what we are talking about.

And, by the way, I said Mark of the Wolves because I find it extremely over-rated and flawed, it's a good game, but compared to other fighting games (both SNK and non-SNK games) released by that time or earlier, I don't see it as anything special.

I would add POWER SPIKES II, this one is really bad. I dislike DOUBLE DRAGON a lot too, really bad (hope buster broon doesn’t hear me). RIDING HERO is another commendable game.

Yes I still cannot believe that moment ;)

For that brief period when I had both a JP/US cart in my possession, it was quite the thing.

He asked if any games were truly bad, I can't believe that even if its overrated (many games are) and flawed (even the best fighters have something) you would tell this guy that its a bad Neo game.

Out of my personal collection (and this is based on my personal taste)

my worst game (although easily not the worst out there) is Magician Lord

The game is so difficult and frusterating, but I like to play it just to overcome the adversity.... Beating a level really feels like an accomplishment. lol

Well I really hate the way Mantleman moves in that game it’s like if he suffers from arthritis. Fran where are you?

On a side note, Curt sorry for not getting back to you on time about KOF 2K1 & 2K2.

Just because it's overrated (which I think it is), doesn't mean it's a really bad game, which is what the thread discussion is about.

Super Spy is pretty bad, So is burning fight,

Motw, is in my opinion one of the best fighting games ever made, even if you dont like fighting games you would have to appriceate much it took to get that much out of 12 yr old hardware

Blasphemy! :very_ang:

Actually I've always been a sucker for games like Super Spy and Crossed Swords (CS was the reason I wanted a Neo Geo growing up).

The only game I've played on the Neo that I actually just stopped playing because it was so bad was Ninja Combat. I know it's an early game, but I just found it boring. The graphics were average at best, and the sound was horrid! There's a reason this one was never a pack in. It plays like a suped up NES game.

I've heard LOSJ is pretty awful. I don't think that any of the games I own, or have played are bad at all.
