Zechs Merquise Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 This is widely regarded as probably THE worst game of all time. However how many people here have played it? I really want to, just to see how bad it really is!
flameboy Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 i have played it for about 10 mins at a mates before i had to give up, think of the worst game u have played and then times in by 64, thats how bad this was, since when did superman pop over to lex luthors for a ring challenge? fly/find through all his rings....
mcj metroid Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3m-YMn4Etc maybe this will help.i will warn you.this is scary
Shorty Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I never played it. Why would I play a game that averaged about 12%? I'm not a masochist after all
Zechs Merquise Posted November 16, 2006 Author Posted November 16, 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3m-YMn4Etc maybe this will help.i will warn you.this is scary Oh dear, one final question I have, why the hell was the sky bright purple? I had a great quote from one of the developers about how the game was the best thing ever, I'll try and dig it out lol
mcj metroid Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 this is good for a piss take at it.i put this on the funny videos thread too.well worth a look.Its gas i have no idea why the sky was purple.it's not in this one
Lance Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Is it really that bad? I always thought flying around as superman and what-not would be brillant, great potential for a game Lance
Zechs Merquise Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 this is good for a piss take at it.i put this on the funny videos thread too.well worth a look.Its gas i have no idea why the sky was purple.it's not in this one Hahaha, that's even better. I actually have a strange urge to track this game down just so I can experience it. I doubt it'll be out on the Virtual Console though!
mcj metroid Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 no it has about as much chance on vc as the philps zelda games:D
mcj metroid Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 well you are brave for admitting it:D do you own it or is it just a friends?be honest now
Shino Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Ha! Its borrow/stolen from a friend, I would never buy it! Or maybe I would at the time we had no way of knowing it, and the possibility of "flying" in a 3d environment was very tempting.
mcj metroid Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 i suppose on paper it sounds cool. Turbo run flying in 3d ice breath and the like.Did the reviews at the time slate it badly?I'll search for one.anyone have any old n64 msg scans? Ign review Another Take from Aaron Boulding The look on Matt's face as he so desperately tried to make Superman a fun game was all it took for me to conclude that there were major problems with his idol's first N64 title. He would toss the controller in frustration and after a moment's contemplation, he'd pick it up and play again as if it couldn't possibly be that bad. After three or four rounds of Superman soul searching, I snatched the controller away from him like you would snatch a bottle of liquor from an alcoholic friend. Having already sworn off of the Superman game, I can only concur that this is one of the most frustrating videogame experiences in the history of the world. http://ign64.ign.com/articles/151/151957p1.html and just to make sure the gamespot review The only Superman compliment I can find to say is that flying beats walking. If I've been in any way unclear up to this point, let me state it simply: This is easily the worst game I've ever played. To steal a line outright from a film review in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, it serves no purpose other than to firmly establish the bottom of the barrel. http://www.gamespot.com/n64/adventure/superman64/review.html?q=superman%2064
Jimbob Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 This game is the worst game i've ever played on any system. I remember renting out the game, wanted to see what it was like n stuff. Within 5 minutes of gameplay, i ended up using this as a paperweight because that was the only good thing about the game in the end
Zechs Merquise Posted November 19, 2006 Author Posted November 19, 2006 It did top the all format charts in the US on it's release though. Just goes to show what a big name license can do for sales, even when the ovrall product is crap.
triforcemario Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I downloaded the rom of this game (naughty me :P), but, damn, it was not worth the 5MB of space on my harddrive.
solitanze Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I actually bought this game and completed all 14 levels of this game, 7 of them dedicated to flying through rings. The only thing I liked about this game was the opening menu when you turn on the game, thats it. Have a look at its average ratio: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/198862.asp
mcj metroid Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 its bad but it's not as bad as the king of baddness that is....... http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/919220.asp
solitanze Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 It really depends on the search criteria and the number of reviews you select for the site. With 20 reviews minimum, this game ends up being the worst: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/542019.asp But i'd have to agree the game you listed above is a really bad game.
mcj metroid Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 for info on charlie's angels watch this.it is hilarious plz watch it haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBWmMpSl1xk

mcj metroid Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 haha that guy is awsome .Last one is aquaman and i have no idea why they are dancing in their underwear:D
flameboy Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 A few people I have spoken to say Superman Returns is just as crap as this lol! after all this time it still can't be nailed!
Zechs Merquise Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 haha that guy is awsome .Last one is aquaman and i have no idea why they are dancing in their underwear:D Aquaman is a lame superhero to begin with! I wonder what sales figures were for Charlie's Angels and Aquaman?
Zechs Merquise Posted December 24, 2006 Author Posted December 24, 2006 I came back to my parents house for Christmas, and I dug out one of my old N64 mags with a choice quote about this game, hope you find it as amusing as I did... "I can tell you that Superman is really original and really cool to play! The multiplayer mode is not seen anywhere since Goldeneye! That particular feeling when Superman flies around Metropolis is the closest thing to freedom we have ever seen in a video game" -Eric Caen of Titus I'm not quite sure if he actually played it though lol
