As an Australian, I feel compelled to point out that kangaroos jumping out on to the road is a very real risk, there’s warning signs for it and everything. They’re quite solid animals, hitting one at speed does a surprising amount of damage.
Yep. Tasmanian here. During my morning commute there are more Roos than cars on the road.
😢 I love Kangaroos 🦘 ❤
Tbf though you don't see too many in an urban city street though
The awful kick in Rise of the robots 😬 he kicks an invisible wall before he kicks the robot 😂
The frustrating thing with some of these poor games, mainly arcade ports ..double dragon, street fighter 2 ...is the fact that the amiga was more than capable of getting them almost arcade perfect, but the developers just rushed them resulting in a legacy of shitty games ...
Its uncanny how often games which didn't even use the Atari ST well ended up getting close to straight ports to the Amiga for half the Amiga's commercial life.
After the War more than made up for it :)
@user-ww7xf6fl9n loved after the war ..that gun with the digarded shells flying out wow 👌
Neighbours is literally Paper Boy except you don’t even get to deliver news papers. 😂
Literally doing nothing 😂😂😂😂
Just Boy then lol
@@jamespaul6315 "Nothing Boy" perhaps?
I think I'd buy a game called "Nothing Boy". It's kind of intriguing as a title :)
@@beezle1976 its my biography name if I had anything worth writing one over lol
@@jamespaul6315 lol
Neighbours is the rare case when the video game is better than the tv programme 🤔
I remember how Rise of the Robots was hyped up so damn much back then.
I could not stop laughing 😂

Never had an Amiga. But the same could be said with the zx spectrum, it had some great games...but by god there was an incredible pile of crap that was released. Trouble is in those days there was no social media so if it wasn't reviewed in a magazine you just didn't know what you where buying
And it was a GLORIOUS TIME. You went to copy parties, drank tons of Jolt cola, hung out with your sweaty friends from school in some basement or loft, then got back home with a bunch of completely unknown games with intriguing titles, you shoved the disks into your Amiga's funhole, and just explored. Made you really experience a whole spectrum of games (no pun intended) that you would never have seen otherwise, and you gave everything a chance because you didn't know what was coming next. Also games were creative, original, and inventive.
Not like todays McFranchise products that are just the same regurgitated shit ad nauseam, because money.
Super Street Fighter 2 for the A1200 / A4000 wasn't bad. Had I a copy of that when I was a lad discovering SF2 I'd have been more than happy with it
Yep play that off a hard drive / compact flash and the playability is arcade perfect minus the 6 buttons (unless you used a cd32 pad). What I liked about SSF2 AGA was it had all the music for every stage and were good renditions
5:45 was very funny.
Hey it looks like her! 🤣🤣
Yolanda, Yolanda. Oh, my dear Yolanda
those sound effects tho 🤣 5:12
Lack of buttons is a big issue on the amiga, but I don't think fighting games where ever that good, super streetfighter 2 was meant to be a lot better, and its an AGA game where the original was for the earlier machines.
Oh gawd, I actually bought Neighbours too... It was godawful. Street Fighter Amiga gets too much hate- it wasn't THAT bad, not as bad as OutRun anyways
I *need* the Yolanda soundtrack to get rid of guests who won’t leave. 😄
Fist fighter kicks a lot?
OMG Dangerous streets *SUUUUUUUUUKS!* Same for Human Killing Machine.
I loved my Amiga but thankfully I've never played any of the games you have mentioned apart from Street Fighter.
Oi oi this video made laugh 😂 absolutely brilliant gem!
Some of the titles are just perfection 🤣🤣🤣
It's a toss up between amiga 500 mini or megadrive mini for xmas
I think Bad Cat could be a serious contender.
But, c'mon, the Amiga was a PC. If you owned it, you owned a development kit. The absolute worst games? Like X-System, which was the hard work of UA-cam channel The Digital Orphanage? They were the learning experiences of kids.
X-System notoriously crashed the review copy every single time a life was lost. And that was probably a mercy. But he's humble and honest about the experience, and he's got a great sense of humor. You might enjoy his video on the subject.
Yolanda has the most hilarious music I've ever heard haha😂And Neighbour looks like a terrible attempt at copying Paperboy🤭Wow, all these games are so very bad aren't they? Great video as always Gemma
Ah no outrun……that really was…….
On an early gamesmaster (season 1) a neighbours actor played - and did quite well - on neighours game as a challenge.
I've not played that skatergame, but I think the graphics looked quite nice and colourful. I would have probably liked it as a kid ;)
The neighbours game is kinda like a game called skidz which I loved for some reason. Neighbours was aweful … I haven’t stopped laughing yet to this day
I thought rise of the robots would be in there. I bought it on release for the CD32 believing all the hype. What a turd of a game it was.
Yolanda by Steve Bak was a follow-up to his 8-bit game Hercules. It was meant to be tough. Rise of the Robots could never live up to the hype. With more playtesting Neighbours could have been fun. (You have to win races around Ramsay Street, going through the gates and picking up litter to make you more popular). Fist Fighter was always intended as a parody.
I'm ashamed ! I like Fistfighter's graphics.
5:30 this background is really nice !
The shame back in the day seeing Dangerous Streets bundled with the CD32.
The figure on the Fist Fighter splash screen looks like Kung Fury.
Wot no 'Top Banana' ?
Yolanda is not a game but a torture !
I remember Dangerous Streets! Think I got it free on a magazine cover disk. I found it silly enough to be enjoyable, the downright bizarre moves some of the characters had. It was worth playing just to try all the characters and watch the strangeness unfold. So bad it's good? Maybe.
I belive that body blows is still the best fighting game on the amiga 💪🏾
I see quite a few of my recommendations in this list 😂
I stupidly bought Fist Fighter back in the day, thankfully it was a budget title - it has to be the worst fighter I've played, and HKM has some heritage in Street Fighter history, as it was meant to be the unofficial sequel to the fist Street Fighter game, no wonder Capcom rejected it when US Gold recommended it.
A fried of mine gave me Rise of the Robots for free, and for some reason I didn't smell a rat at the time, I played it twice (second time to make sure I wasn't imagining how bad it was) and promptly formatted the floppy disks to use for something else. The only good thing about Rise Of The Robots was the box art ..... oh, and maybe the 4 seconds of Brian May guitar (so much for that "amazing Brian May soundtrack" that was promised during the game's promotion)
As for Yolanda ........ I'm glad I've never played that, but I had the misfortune of playing Akira on a mate's Amiga, thankfully he took the game back and got it swapped for something else.
Wow, Yolanda’s a port of that terrible Hercules game on the C64
6:18 Dick Dastardly wants his hat back
The people behind Human Killing Machine approached Capcom to see if they could make it a follow up to Street Fighter (this was years prior to SF2 in the arcades) after having ported SF1 to the Amiga (terribly at that, it shares *a lot* with HKM). Capcom saw it, and thankfully said, "err,... no thanks". That decision may very well have influenced the 1 on 1 fighter genre as we know it, so while HKM is freaking awful, it's kind of influential in a strange sort of way.
Didnt stop them advertising it as the follow up to Street Fighter in some adverts though.
General rule of thumb, if it was made by Tiertex, it's probably terrible.
In regards to fighters on the Amiga, Captial Punishment still gets my vote for the best on the Amiga. While it follows the 1 on 1 fighter formula to a tea, it's a little different and takes some getting used to, but once you do it's a fantastic game in my opinion. There's definite shades of Mortal Kombat in it's themes with the darkness and violence at times.
Tiertex did good stuff.
Capital Punishment is so hard!
Funnily I've been fancying playing HKM for months now. Think I might torture myself and play it on the C64🤣🤣
It's Thanksgiving Day over here and you've certainly served up some absolute turkeys 🤣 Thanks!
1:08 - gets me every time
The 2nd half of Akira looks like an Impossible Mission clone.
At least, someone who puts Akira on the shame list. Worst game EVER on amiga.
Yolanda is Hercules on the C64.
If someone makes a great Amiga fighting game, can they please call it Bam Bam Pow? :-)
Yolanda looks like it was ripped off the C64 game Hercules. But then again, the "Labour" texts at the beginning of each stage, it PROVES that it ripped off Hercules.
Yolanda WAS an official sequel to Hercules. The recent Plus/4 conversion of Hercules adds Yolanda as a playable character.
@@merman1974 Now I know
My mate bought Akira .. the box art was great and then we played the game.
I reckon had the world exploded like in the movie as we were playing we wouldn't have been annoyed at all.
As a young lad with hard earned pocket money, it was soul destroying to buy a game and it be utter utter rubbish! You soon learned that the review magazines were your friends and the box art could lie… a lot 😂! Although I still felt cheated when I got HKM on a cover disk 😭
Too true.. I spent £7 on ET for the 2600 after seeing it at the cinema🤦🏻♂️ Lesson learnt.
I can't believe there were people who actually bought games during the golden age of piracy. For the C64, it was almost the ONLY way to get your hands on any games whatsoever. And it was glorious. Thanks for being a rich kid who could support the devs back then, because m poor ass sure as F didn't... :)
@@RenegadeAmiga HAHAHAHAHA! I had a friend who was almost sycophantically on the side of corporations and mega conglomerate bullshit, and he made me play ET saying that I was too harsh in my criticism. Then again, he always completed the games he played, while I usually started over halfway through my first run, then got halfway again before getting bored and playing something else.
Nostalgia Nerd just made a brilliant documentary on Rise of Robots, I highly recommend it.
Ahhh wicked. I love Pete’s work
Kim Justice made a great one also a few years back.
@@rwentfordable Will check it out. Thanks for the tip.
Being an early Amiga adopter, I went through many of the early crap like Clever & Smart, Dark Castle, Pink Panther, The Flintstones, Corsarios, Bad Cat, Thundercats and awful arcade ports like Double Dragon, Strider, 1943, Black Tiger, Ikari Warriors II or Out Run... And we cried about bad PC ports during the PS3 era... xDDD Oh, and I bought Final Fight and Street Fighter 2 for the Amiga with my savings money back in the day :(
I had street fighter 2 on the atari st ..even worse than the amiga effort, but my young mind still loved it 😆 ..almost unplayable now
@@markveganism5003 I played a lot of SF2 with my neighbour, so at least I got a lot a play time out of it.
I liked Double Dragon on the Amiga.
Its not a great port, but if you ignore the arcade original and just play it as its own game it's a pretty fun 2 playing scrolling beat 'em up in my opinion.
Had a lot of fun with it with friends.
The player and enemy "sprites" were pretty bad though apart from the big muscular guy who at least semi resembled his arcade counterpart.
The enemies sounds when you beat them were somewhere between weird and hilarious though.
Don't know why the thought samples of someone vomiting was a good idea :)
@@beezle1976 Don't get me wrong, I played a lot of Double Dragon on the Amiga, as well as a lot of Shinobi... Finished them both in fact. But the ports sucked, let's face it :P
The Amiga port of Streetfighter II was shockingly bad. I remember playing the hell out of it back in the day because I only had an Amiga, then I played Streetfighter II Turbo on a mates Megadrive only to come to the realisation that the Amiga’s port of SF II was terrible.
Neighbours doesn't look that bad as a skateboarding game when compared to Skate of the Art.
I still have the Blanka badge, found it again the other day!!
I had Akira back in the day; it was a tee-shirt that had a free "game" included!
Yolanda was recently featured in AGDQ 2023. Someone actually speed-ran the game... (during the "Awful Block" segment! No surprises there!)
used to love hkm on the atari st. having said that, i like spitting image on the amiga and st too. i must love punishing myself!
i loved my amiga the best computer i had 😊 i still play the games today on my pc through emulator 💖
U.S Gold destroyed Street Fighter II with their Amiga port. I remember buying Rise Of the robots for my Amiga and when I finally got home to play it and I was so excited to play the game and a few minutes in, I had a proper rage quit when I played it and obviously the shop wouldn't take it back because it was opened.
Try Sword of Sodan, it gets 9/10 when it comes to graphics and 1/10 for the gameplay!
AVGN should do an episode on Amigas worst games too.
Nah, still recovering from his 'take' on the Amiga CD32. 😉
Akira is actually not that bad, especially if you were brought up with the anime :) I mean compare this game to "Popeye 2" on Amiga. If you look up in the dictionary the definition of the word 'bad' it displays gameplay screenshot from 'Popeye 2'.
I agree on this.
thank you for the video, a sympatic compilation of games, that was funny... but for me the best of the best is "Franko: The Crazy Revenge". a must have... lol.
thank you.. you are amazing.... ❤️❤️
Hahaha... Another vote for Franko. Love that game, all for the wrong reasons.
Street Fighter 2 - I actually liked this game. I rarely went to arcades as I didn't drive and there were none near my home, so I only went when someone else wanted to go. As a result, I never played this in the arcades. I also never had any Nintendo or Sega consoles, so I never played those versions either. I realized that it was a little slow, and the disk swapping was annoying, but I still thought it was fun to play. And in the category of good Amiga fighting games, there was Body Blows/Galactic, the two Mortal Kombat ports, Shadow Fighter, IK+, Barbarian...
As for bad Amiga games, how can you leave out Outrun, Power Drift, Rolling Thunder, or really anything created by Tiertex?
I am so glad you did not add the fighting games. Body Blows. Body Blows Galactic. and Elfmaina to this list. I would have hit the roof! 🤣
Those are certainly good ones.
I used to despise ‘Buggy Boy’. Why that game gets the love it gets is beyond me. It’s awful.
Out of all the Superleagues I've done so far, the Beat'em-up video is the one with the most games in the rubbish category. You could also have mentioned Spitting Image and the original Street Fighter, but I agree that Human Killing Machine is the single worst Amiga game ever!
I thankfully never owned any of them have played rise of the robots thanks to a mag demo
Great selection of horrendous games but I was missing the awful port of outrun to Amiga. :D
Please review Franko The Crazy Revenge
Luckily , the only name I vaguely remeber was Akira and I never played it . All the others are unknown to me . :D
My God!!!! Rise of the robots, I remember when it came out and was featured heavily in Amiga format, I was salivating at how awesome the graphics were and how great it looked....Then I bought it and was like WTF is this??
It looked like one of the greatest things ever made and turned out to be one of the biggest barrels of monkey spunk ever put onto a disk. Jeez what a disappoint that game was, I actually broke one of my joysticks playing this thing out of frustration so it cost me even more than the purchase price :(.
I told you Yolanda was worth a look. Such a crazy game! 🤣
I had an amiga 500 plus and i loved it! That being said, there was some complete pish released on it. I cant even remember the names of some of the games i had. Elite 2 was pretty standout even though i didnt know what the fuck was going on most of the time. I did play streetfighter 2 on the amiga and it was a big turd. Cannon fodder, sensi soccer and alied breed were awesome though until my snes retired the old girl. Some good memories. Chopping someone's head off in barbarian got a few laughs too. Edit; i nearly forgot Lemmings, so simple a concept yet so fucking good. Love your vids, bring back memories
Playing the ports as kids we were pretty happy just being able to play half decent looking arcade games at home so the gameplay being off wasn't such a massive thing, when I play SF2 arcade now I wouldn't even bother on my Amiga.
Neighbours looks like a special ed guy with his shorts down to his knees and in his underwear
Subscribed because you didn't feel the need to specify the location of the comments as being down below.
Good video.
Far from my favorite, but I never thought that Rise of the Robots was very bad. Having said that, I don't think I played it on the Amiga, but the PC.
For the rest of the games shown, I don't really have much to add, I haven't played them and I don't feel bad about it.
Regarding SFII, some times I wonder if I grew up in a different dimension. Yes the game isn't as good as the arcade version, but it is far from bad game even if one includes the lower framerate. Same with other games of the time which weren't as good as the arcade original. I don't know if it is just me, but people seem to like to complain about some things which to kids of the time didn't really matter THAT much.
Anyway, perhaps it's just me.
Ashamed to say i bought Rise of the Robots and Dangerous Streets for cd32
awesome video gemma!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought that shite robot game on the CD32 way back when !! Have you ever played Jim Power on the Amiga?
Hi Gemma, hope you are well. What a great video this was. Very well put together, entertaining, informative and really made me chuckle with your narration. Brilliant stuff!
Nice streets of rage 2 remix music there. 😉
Street Fighter 1 was horrible too (AFAIK HKM used the same "engine"). Another crappy game is Cliffhanger which also was released quite late (94 IIRC).
The worst game for me was Days Of Thunder, based on the movie...it was sooo slow and boring! You expect a racing game to be quite quick given what the A500 can do! I remember it came with the "Screen Gems" A500 pack along with the games Back To The Future II, Shadow Of The Beast II and Nightbreed
A lot of these are low hanging fruit. Rise of the Robots only had one to fight with because that's all the Amiga could manage with joysticks. The AI was improved in the console ports. A lot of these games are much worse than their reputation suggests. Having said that Ramsey Street is looking pretty crowded in this game! 🤣
hey I saw one of my ex housemates in that FB shot - weird!
To be fair to the Amiga, Rise of the Robots was a trash game regardless of the platform.
oh, Rise of the robots, that was total bollocks too. That CD32 pack in title was balls too. I don't think Streetfighter 2 to totally terrible, it's just the mechanics are so botched it's not Street fighter 2.
I'd never played Yolanda before, but played it with a mate at Kickstart 01. We had the time of our lives! It was so funny. I wouldn't call it a good game but certainly entertaining for a few minutes. My favourite level is the one where if you don't move within a quarter of a second of the level starting, you burn up.
There are soooo many memories!! I released a new Amiga Episode today that you might like: ua-cam.com/video/tT0YD28QOD4/v-deo.htmlsi=VhGy2fm6wyiriSR_
I would not even Yolanda on a PD disk. Neighbours look cute, but racing in colored undies should be more fun than this, SF2 was just a quick port for the market, they really could have done it better (as it was proven), ROTR was a complete fail, no more memory for game play? The other ones look like from a PD series, poor ppl who bought this. I know some other bad games like Hellraiser or Terminator 2. But it is incredible how different games can look like on different machines
I remember Akira being sort of a big deal (I didn't know anything about it), but the game was really terrible.
I love the Amiga.. love the videos.. I'm currently repairing a rather bad on on my youtube channel.
I cant imagine why teenage boys in the early 90s would buy fighting games where the female characters were in a thong or a bikini ???? Almost as if games like Barbarian and Vixed sold shedloads because of the free poster ?!?!!?!?
Graphics are decent in this games. If sources are available I'm sure that many of those can be fixed.
A video entirely dedicated to Amiga fighting games might be interesting. From what I can gather, the range in quality of titles in that genre varied _greatly_ on that machine in particular, lol. I don't know if it was because of the controller or because of Japanese devs ignoring the machine (even SF2 was given to a European developer to actually port; Capcom didn't know how to make Amiga games themselves after all) or whatever, but besides Shadow Fighter, Fighting Spirit and Ultimate Body Blows (I think there's an Elf one too, come to think of it. Can't remember the name), I don't think I have heard much positivity thrown towards Amiga fighters. And of course, stuff like Rise of the Robots and Human Killing Machine are proudly held up as some of the WORST fighters ever made, haha. It seems like a really fascinating genre to look at for the machine, and maybe you did already - I'm going to look up "Amiga Fighting games" now and see what UA-cam returns - but if you haven't, it could make for a neat video! Thanks for taking a look at these and showing off these hidden "gems" for the system; it's always interesting to look at such things
Check Barravento. I probably should give credit since it was a Brazillian individual developer, but the game well... is not great.
You missed the #1 worst game ever made by man......... TOP BANANA!
Thanks for this sad video. :)
Terramex... 'nuff said...
my favorite game for the amiga 500 is turrican
Was rise of the robots good on any platform lol
Did Meglomania ever make it to the Amiga 500?
It should have since it was the original platform for the game.
sf2 on the Amiga is indeed, not great. i hated it when it was released coz i loved the arcade. But. in recent years ive started to warm to it for a number of reasons. Firstly.. you have to have a pad and you need to approach it like its its own game and not sf2. Then you have to get used to its weird controls and learn the way they are timed etc. pulling down and up for dragon punch for example. After you get passed the terrible framerate, theres actually a pretty decent fighter in there. Finally. I say, "decent", because there are some shockingly bad games on the amiga. Personally I think about 60% are compltely unplayable and so depressing bad that all i want to do is hit F10 once theyve loaded up on WHDload!
