Game(s) you hate with a passion

@thelostsoul There actually was a small difference in the number of colors in video footage. Not a huge difference. I think I found a comparison video online somewhere. Oh sorry. I was thinking of the Sega CD vs Sega Saturn video comparison of that game:

@IanDaemon Wow, I even didn't know that it had a Saturn version. O.o

Without question, the Super Nintendo version of Race Drivin' is easily the worst "game" I ever played.

The arcade version at the time was amazing, but this version was unplayable. Horrid framerate made it impossible to drive, but even if you could stay in the road for 10 seconds, you'd crash for unknown reasons.

Just a shame. Maybe an FX chip could have salvaged this nightmare.

@roslof OMFG that game was given to me as a gift, and I am REALLY glad I didn't buy it. I had the opposite problem, there was a pattern that made the game so easy it was unplayable. No joy in that game. Complete garbage.

I love a good wrestling game. I hated this... you do the math. ;)

World Championship Wrestling was great! Tag Team Wrestling I didn't hate but it was unplayable to my 14 year old self without a rapid fire button of some type. Pro Wrestling was fun. My favorite was Tecmo Wrestling.

It's so bad I have to say it a couple times.

@roslof @VictimRLSH I just compared videos of the arcade version and the snes version of Race Drivin'. Wow, I am puzzled how the publishers of the snes version didn't see that horrible frame rate and say, "ok guys, nice try, but we can't sell THAT". 😵

edit: That said, I couldn't stop playing Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga back in those days. But although it also has a painfully low frame rate by today's standards, it played very well as far as I can remember. Maybe nostalgia, but maybe not. 😉
