Five worst games... hmmmmmm...
In no particular order...
* Soul Fighter (Dreamcast)- This game does so much wrong. The music sounds like it was recorded next to a speaker that was too loud, and it has a camera system that's drunk. There's also a boss that quite literally can't be beaten without cheating, a bad Sean Connery impersonator for an announcer during the very dull cinemas, an ending that makes no sense, and iffy graphics. Yeah, the frame rate stays around 60fps the whole game, but that just makes it a smooth moving turd.
* Slaughter Sport (Genesis)- Horrid and laggy controls, dull characters, really bad music, poor collision detection, really choppy animation, and of course, a very limited set of moves. It all adds up to a fun-filled migraine headache in a plastic casing.
* Contra Force (NES)- Somehow, the run n' gun legacy was turned into a flicker-filled, slow paced, shadow of its previous entries. Add in laggy controls and questionable sound quality by NES standards, and we've got a Contra game best left in a dark, dark corner of the gaming closet.
* Road Riot 4WD (SNES)- The arcade game wasn't too bad for an arcade racer. The SNES version? AHHHHHHHHH HA HA HA HAAAAAA! The supposed physics that take place in the turns are weird, the graphics are bad, the controls are worse, and the CPU cars just love to cheat. I felt gypped out of ninety-nine cents.
* Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (Dreamcast)- Wow. Talk about taking a series in the wrong direction. The only good part of this game was its cinemas. The rest of the game is just bad. Sub-par and glitchy graphics, iffy controls and hit detection, and gameplay that gives you no clues or hints as to what in God's name you're supposed to do next. Once you get a little ways into the game, you're pretty much just abandoned. I had to use a faq to figure out half of the game, and what it told me I had to do at times made absolutely no sense. I'm honestly surprised the series didn't die with this entry.
Anyway, those are some of the worst games I've been subjected to.
