Was E.T really that bad?

Probably Superman 64. There's really nothing redeemable, even if you read the manuals. At least E.T. has the charm and forgiveness of it being on the 2600.

I'd be surprised if there was somebody who actually didn't at least dislike Superman64.

It's not well-known, but I dare you to show me someone who has actually played Conan on NES and enjoyed that broken piece of trash.

I've played it. It's trash. There are a bunch of NES games that are that bad. While you're looking for that diamond in the rough, you'll come across a whole lot of plain ole rocks.

Superman 64. Deserves the hate.

I picked up Shaq Fu last weekend for SNES and while it's not the best fighter in the world I thought it was certainly better than Ranma 1/2. (The first Ranma fighting game, not the 3rd which is awesome.)

The graphics and sound are great. The story mode is very silly and entertaining.

The controls, hit detection, and super wide fight space are what makes it a hard game to play through.

But with some button mashing the game is beatable in about 15-20 minutes.

It was worth the $2 I spent on it.

I saw a YouTube video the other day where a guy was swearing up a storm hating on the game, it's graphics, etc. with flat out ridiculous comments like "Atari has better graphics than this!" it was obvious to me he was hating on it for the sake of hating on it.
