Tag: Kusoge

Japanese term for “shit game.” This tag applies to all reviews of games that could be considered quite bad. Some of these may even win a poop ribbon for their horridness. (Or just because a game annoys me so much.)

Review #1355 – My Hero (Master System)

Traditionally, Review A Bad Game Day – a relic of the old 1MoreCastle site that I adopted for myself – would land on August 8th… but that’s on a Saturday and I’ve better things to do on a Saturday than waste it on today’s offering. A prime example of something that doesn’t always go well on a card.

We didn’t end the week on Super Boy, which turned out better towards the back end of that series, but we do end on a bad game, so it all works out.

Review #1354 – Super Boy 4 (Master System)

It took us four games, but Super Boy finally graces Sega Mark III proper and the quality is a step up. Whether that means a good game is… oh, come on, you should know better by now.

Good news is that they stopped making Super Boy games. Bad news is we’ve still got one more bad Master System game to look at tomorrow, but at least, it’s licensed by Sega… man, and I was worried I’d have nothing for Review A Bad Game week here.

Review #1353 – Super Boy III (Master System-ish)

Calling this a “Sega Master System” game is a misnomer because this entry is a strictly SG-1000 release… which would technically make this the first time we’re reviewing a game from Sega’s older console that never made it to American soil… but much like Akumajo Dracula on Sharp X68000, it’s on a console that I am never going to touch again and I am playing this on a Master System gimmick anyway, so whatever, who cares? The game still sucks… or does it?

Review #1347 – X-Men Vs. Street Fighter (Super NES)

The Mutant Apocalypse that is Taiwan Bootlegging has infected the X-Men Vs. Street Fighter universe that exists somewhere in the multiverse of madness. Take a ride down this (not quite) interesting (enough) software and instantly regret it.

 

Review #1321 – Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Game Boy)

For anyone who cares about such things, there’s a new Star Wars movie coming out today. The first one since the last one whose name I don’t recall. Anyway, we may as well do something Star Warsy because… sure, why not?

But yeah, it’s the other Star Wars on Game Boy that’s based on the other Star Wars on NES… not counting the Star Wars that’s only available in Japan for the Family Computer.

And then, I have to remind myself that Game Boy did get a Return Of The Jedi game… that’s based on the Super Nintendo version.

The Force Is Fubar.
