Always thought Mikie was pretty good. Decent Beatles tune on the Speccy version, used to get past quite a few of those levels.

Why do you think Mikie is the worst game of all time ? Were you crap at it ? Not everyones cup of tea but never heard it called worst game of all time

Decent conversion of quite an average arcade game I though.

EDIT: My last one was already on the list

Mission Impossible - N64

Just horrible I thought. Terrible visuals, erratic gameplay and altogether frustrating. Shame really because the franchise seems like one that could translate into an enjoyable game.

Of course. The language doesn't reflect on the quality of the game (though it can affect the quality of presentation). OTOH, Token of Ghall is just bad.

I was commenting on presentation ... NOT on the quality of the game - I've never played it before !!! I'm just saying it looks like it could of been wacked together using BASIC in about five minutes !!!

It probably was. I think it was a full-priced game too.

Has anybody mentioned CRL's 'Blade Runner" on the C64 yet?
"A video game interpretation of the film score by Vangelis"?

A View To A Kill on the speccy. WTF WAS THAT ABOUT? NOTHING LIKE THE MOVIE, MATEY, THATS FOR SURE!!!

Don't get me wrong, i like the Bond movies and the games (The Spy Who Loved Me on the Amiga was downright f***ing hard and i still haven't completed GoldenEye rogue agent yet!), but this game was utter pants. If this was a kid in school, he'd get wedgied, punched, kicked, have have his dinner money nicked, have super glue put on his chair and someone p!ss in his gym bag!

I'll go for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe for the C64. I don't exactly know why. It just wasn't the good game I hoped for at the time

Movie tie-in action game (by Gremlin) or Adventure International text adventure?

The action game was ok, wasn't it?

Type2XS · Post by **Type2XS** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 8:22 am

Nope, I mean the Action/Adventure/Whatever game from U.S. Gold. But good that you mention the action game by Gremlin. That one was even worse

I think I repressed that one
