Budget, Unknown and Bad games you love.

Cybersled




Cybersled is a game based on sci-fi hover tanks battling it out in small arenas. The controls have a steep learning curve because the movement you'll be using the most is sideways strafing and depending on which way your going the directional buttons will invert. Despite this issue I enjoy this game. This game was originally a arcade game by Namco. Never getting to play the original arcade version I cannot say if it lives up to the original. The game ,of course, has no save function, but there is a code to unlock the prizes you win from the start.

Assault Rigs




Assault Rigs is another Sci-Fi tank game, but this one is based in a virtual reality setting and is also based on platforming. Assault Rigs controls handle...well like a tank. Another game I enjoy greatly for no reason I can think of.

Blast Chamber




Football with a crystal and a time bomb strapped to your chest. Not much else to say. Games controls are simple and work just fine. The game has two modes, Solo where you take on a deadly obstacle course or Muti-AI/Player match where you go against 3 other opponents.

Air Combat




While Ace Combat didn't get much love until Ace Combat 2. I remember the first game, Air combat. Air combat was one of my first two jet games. I have fond memories of this game and remember it being the first one I played where you had full control over the plane. The game hasn't aged well like most of these games on my list, but it is still a blast to play in my opinion even if it is a tad easy to todays standards.

Bogey Dead 6




Another Jet game. This one however differed from Air Combat, because of its more realistic load out. You had to choose which missile load out to use before each mission. I don't remember if the game had a "Advanced" control option or if it had the basic side to side movement like most jet games. Bogey Dead was the first game I remember having a cockpit view. This is one I still need to repurchase.

Ps. I forgot how good Bogey dead 6 had a awesome soundtrack.

Thats all I have for now. I look forward to hearing your picks.

I'll make a small list here:

-Loaded....a DAMN good early longbox on the PS1. Gore and guts all over, fire away and you'll never get bored.

-Blasto....a classic fun, and challenging platformer on the PS1 in it's mid-years.

-ESPN Extreme Games....a PS1 launch title, just like Road Rash except WAY more fun, especially with 2 players. THIS is my favorite sports game, period.

[brutalknuckles]

Ah Blast Chamber, a gem from the old demo disks...

I'm gonna go with an iPad game.

Cytus: DDR for your fingers. J-Pop, Dance, and all that other crap. And addicting as hell.

Does Loaded have anything to do with the Reloaded game I've seen a few times?

[MateusAuri]

Yeah, Reloaded is Loaded's sequel, but not as good, according to the reviews...

I really like Street Sk8er (also known as "Street Skater" and "Street Boarders"), a pre-Tony Hawk skateboarding game, and it has got a very nice soundtrack

There is a sequel, "Street Sk8er 2", which plays a bit more like Tony Hawk


And there was this jap fishing game "Bassing Beat" in a double-disc case with my damaged jet moto cd, I think it's a rarity.

There is little info about it on the internet, I've only found a video about the game's protagonist "Miracle Jim": www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjWq-DvXmBg
It also had a sequel, which I still did not have the chance to play.

Talking about skateboarding games, did you guys ever hear about "Phoenix Games"? They do some awfully and ridiculously bad games, take a look at their "Skateboard Madness - Xtreme Edition" and "Animal Soccer World" (these are the game's top ten moments, you can find the full mov... ehr, game splitted into 4 parts in YouTube, at your own risk of losing IQ, haha).

Beat Down: Fist of Vengeance




Beat Down is a fighting game with a bit of free roam and RPG elements. You can also customize your character. While the story isn't terribly interesting and the voice acting is sub-par, the fighting element, however works well. The two player mode you can load up your buddies save game and play each other with your custom gangs you've recruited in single player. The game is quite challenging as well. This is one of the games I fit in that Bad game, but I like it anyway category.

Great topic!

I can only suggest Warsow right now. Its kinda unknown, rather budget, but certainly not a bad game.

warsow.net

It's based off the quake 2 engine but is basically its own game. It's got great gameplay. It's very fast paced. I played it a lot 2 years ago before an update caused it to be too resource intensive for my computer. Now I'm on a new PC but its still getting stuttering at random points. I'm waiting until an update fixes all that or until I finally build my dream pc hopefully soon.

[MateusAuri]

Warsow kinda looks like Team Fortress. =]

This futuristic racer called "Speed King" is loosely based on Hideo Kojima's (the Metal Gear Solid creator) "Snatcher". Some vehicles have their names based on Konami characters, like Solid Snake and Frogger. It feels like WipeOut (PS) or AeroGauge (N64).

[toxik87]

yeah beatdown i had alot of fun when i played the demo for it when it was new

yeah i need to try out loaded which reminded me that i need to get all those oldschool game compilations of midway and capcom and such cause it reminded me of Smash Tv

Battlestations





Battlestations is a one on one ship combat game. So a battle ship if you will. Each ship has different attacks depending on said ship. The mine layer well lays mines, the sub can submerge, etc. From what I remember this was a very fun game. The game also offers a mission mode I don't remember much about except you have a combat map and if two ship icons meet it means battle.

I just got Shadow Tower damn it's old school- but i like the atmosphere

[MateusAuri]

Yeah, today I see many kids talking about Dark Souls, but they only buy it because of the big advertisement boom that Skyrim was, but they have no idea that the guys who did Dark and Demon Souls are the ones who did King's Field and Shadow Tower, two quite nice games.

---

There is this PS2 launch title "Hresvelgr". It sounds like someone puking, and most people hate the game.
But I actually kinda liked it. It's a futuristic racing game, it feels like a cross between WipeOut, AeroGauge and Bravo.
Hresvelgr is a japanese title, but there is also the japanese too "International Edition", that was released in Europe as "Jet Ion GP". It had a rare sequel called "Fusion GT".

You happen to remind me of Eternal ring Matues.


Eternal Ring





While the story isn't over complicated, I love the games Ring creation system. You could combine the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, and Darkness to great rings that all have unique abilities. While there is melee combat in the game the big focus is on the magic rings. While this is a good example of a bad game I love, I find it fun and interesting. It has even inspired me in one way or another. I need to find my copy and play through it again.

Eternal Ring Game Play

[MateusAuri]

Ah yes, I heard about it once. It looks cool too.
Just remembered "Devil's Deception" AKA "Tecmo's Deception", another cool first person RPG, for PlayStation, in which you plant traps around a castle and then you have to activate them from a distance in order to kill the people who enter the castle.

[mcniggleston]

XIII....enough said. LOVE LOVE LOVE that game!
