Objectively, I know it's terrible(especially the bit in the fifth level where you can't jump or get hit), but I do like Castlevania 64.
I got to play the Legacy of Darkness version and despite some platforming camera issues and the use of time in the art gallery, it was a very good game. It plays more of an action adventure game than an action sidecroller like the orignals that people are accustomed to.
Agreed. I thought both CV64 and Legacy of Darkness were good games. Not perfect by any means but still good.
I'm a big fan of Ultima Exodus(NES), but that games has some dire flaws. One of the worst being that ranged weapons just don't work in the final dungeon. That has to just be a bug...
But anyways, that game was my true introduction to RPG's; I've always loved fantasy games like Zelda, but I wanted something where I could make my own characters, and I didn't know about D&D at the time UE came out. UE led to me getting into video game RPG's like Final Fantasy, and table-top RPG's like D&D.
Does Kung Fu count? Years later I'm still partial to that game - there's something so empowering about it.
Are you implying that people don't like Kung Fu? It was an awesome game for its time and while it was an early NES game, it is still playable and enjoyable to this day. What other game can I kick a midget in a face?

Hey, I'm with you on that. I just don't know many people personaly that played it, but I love it.
I'm going to jump on the "who doesn't like Excitebike?" train...er, bike...whatever. Maybe it's an age thing.
Interesting about Crane's way of working. I think Nintendo used to be that way when making new games (except with more interest in the final product.) Hence why their 3rd gen games had sequels that were so different from their predecessors. This is why I appreciate, for instance, Super Mario Land, and not NSMB Wii U.
Makes you wish for people like Crane in this day of age of reusing the same formula on their sequels especially with big name companies and franchises.
For the Genesis, I liked Atomic Robo Kid, Thunderfox, Caliber .50 and Earnest Evans. Atomic Robo Kid seems overwhelming with 1 hit deaths and respawning enemies but with rapid fire controller, its a playable and fun for my standards. Thunderfox and Caliber .50 were not great ports but Thunderfox plays very good and I was amused with giant turtle and tractor of death bosses in Caliber .50. Earnest Evans had some had controls problems and unbalanced gameplay but the music, designs, and the sheer amusement of Earnest's ragdoll body makes it worth playing. I even got the Japanese Sega CD version from a flea market for a few dollars and makes me wish there was no region lock on that system.
Seikima II on Famicom is a big one for me... it borders on being kusoge, but it's based on my favorite band ever and I genuinely have fun playing it through.

As for punching a midget in the face, I can't think of any other games offhand, but in Bad Street Brawler you can give one a handjob until it dies...
I never liked it, but I haven't played it in a good 15 years, so who knows, I may have changed my mind on it. Wouldn't be the first time.

What you call Bad Street Brawler I call Saturday night.
