7:42 Many wondered why LJN logo is on the case. Acclaim own LJN but Acclaim dissolved LJN in 1995. However many believe that Acclaim knew this was awful. But they released it anyways, but they used the LJN logo to distance themselves from it as far as possible.
@@UltimateGamerCCI even noticed that LJN logo is on that terrible Spirit Of Speed 1937 game. This explains why Acclaim was embarassed not to released it but they did anyways. It's no wonder they went bankrupt in 2004 thanks to the shitty Legends of Wrestling games and the lawsuits by The Olsen Twins and Dave Mira.
@@UltimateGamerCC I’m actually curious what good games they did release…I’m not talking smack…just as a kid in the 90’s and hitting that teen phase in the early 2000’s. I played a couple of acclaim games and remember enjoying them…oh yeah wrestlemania the arcade game and raw on genesis was fun.
@@jdb2002 oh yeah that red cartridge title…a beat ‘em up and a decent one but hard…but I think that’s a single player title unfortunately…correct me if I’m wrong. Still a good game….and I think acclaim had a hand in the turok titles or slightly in a way…(iguana I kno)
You guys always have excellent content!!! I have Ducati World, but only paid $3.99 for it... I should of loaded up on Dreamcast games eight years ago!!! Thanks for the video!
I haven't played many Dreamcast games, but the idea behind Spirit of Speed looks like it would be very nice on a high-end system. Build in a cool story, some problems and upgrades with early racing, and could be quite a racer.
😂 I often feel bad about over activity on UA-cam but I felt like saying this, Fighting Force 2 is not very good, I agree. I like the concept it had, but really, if it was going to be end up being a cash grab sequel, they should've used the Tomb Raider engine anyway. It's a shame the third one got canceled, it would've been godlike honestly to have it fully by Eidos this time instead of the first one ending up as a mish-mashed game. The first one could've stayed a Streets of Rage game with extra polish, but I wouldn't say it's a bad game. Though when I played Gekido on the PS1, it was way more to my liking personally and felt like the real 3D Streets of Rage with the most KILLER soundtrack in a beat 'em up game, Urban Reign's music couldn't even touch it tbh!!! 😩👌🏻💯🔥
Before I even watched the video, I knew that Spirit of Speed 1937 had to be on the list. It's especially frustrating, as the idea is so cool and there aren't many games on any platform that specialize in vintage auto racing. They had a great opportunity, but they only succeeded in making the worst racing game I have ever tried to play.
This game is one where the PAL version is the better version since the support for 50Hz bypasses the frame rate issues entirely. The game is solid when you do that.
The spirit of speed was the very last game to have the cursed LJN logo. As for the spy game, I remember how heavily Sega was promoting it, but it got super slammed with negative reviews. Mainly because of the gameplay which wasn’t bad but extremely confusing.
Exactly. It’s a game that when you learn how to play it properly, you’ll enjoy it. But only if you enjoy more sim based racers. The Sega Rally crowd is not the intended audience but they should’ve made that clearer.
I played I spy when I borrowed it from a friend when it came out and I absolutely hated it. Just bought it at a game convention recently because its one of the few games I needed left for a complete NA library and I'm going to attempt to learn it this time (probably with a guide)
Sonic shuffle is actually quite good. Sure it stumbles with the long loading times and doesn't explain a lot of important stuff. But the game itself is a deeper, more strategic version of mario party.
That Ducati motorcycle game was EXTREMELY PAINFUL since Dreamcast didn't get a new Hang-On game. Aside from the original Hang-On in arcades, SG-1000 got Hang-On 2, Sega Master System got it's own unique version of Hang-On, Sega Genesis got the newest sequel known as Super Hang-On and Sega Saturn got the FINAL sequel: Hang-On GP (which was a lot of fun). Dreamcast gets NO Hang-On and gets this Ducati piece of crap. Ducati... more like Du-CACA!
The Dreamcast did get a Hang-On port via Yu Suzuki collection Vol. 1. The Ducati game was a terrible port-over from the Playstation game made by ATD, the same folks who did Rollcage and Lego Drome Racing.
@@RedTabletTalk Hmmm in prison I’ve never seen poop on a floor or in a cell….at least I got to get used to pissing sitting down and flushing immediately after dropping a deuce.
Trickstyle is what I think you mean. I think the concept was interesting but the execution was a total mess. I remember seeing screenshots of it in Gamefan thinking it looked really next-gen but once I played it I was totally disappointed
Not a "bad" game in this sense, but Dynamite Cop on the same console is one of those, "it's so bad it's good" games. It's really enjoyable and cheesy but I highly recommend anyone with a DC to play that for a quick afternoon laugh
Dynamite Cop! Is cheezy but not bad at all as a matter of fact its one of the games I come back to most on the system 😄 so over the top with tons of combat moves and such great co op action combined with multiple paths make it a must play imo
In my personal opinion I would say as far as bad Dreamcast games go I would say -ECW anarchy rulz, Dragon riders of pern, soul fighter, The ring terrors realm, Kiss psycho circus, Wild metal, south park chefs love shack, the Grinch, and iron aces just to name a few
It's interesting nobody mentions Illbleed. Graphics and sound are ok, but it's the single most confusing game I've ever played. Definitely need a UA-cam walkthrough for that one.
I can see why people wouldn't like Spirit of Speed 1937, but I can't help but wonder if those cars handled just as poorly in real life. The game could have used Sega's touch in the fun department, but it seemed like it was really meant to be played with a wheel and pedals on a PC. They tried to make something nobody else was doing at the time and released an undercooked product.
I was so happy to have a dreamcast that I actually enjoyed iSpy. I also enjoyed quest 64 for what it's worth. I miss the days when I was so easy to please.
I think the worst games I own would be WWF Attitude, and Kiss Psycho Circus The Nightmare Child. I don't think they would be quite as bad as the ones shown here, though for my small collection they're near the bottom. The wrestling game isn't a total jobber, but certainly not in the main event either. The Kiss game I bought simply because I was a huge Kiss fan, but the game itself just feels like a generic shooter with the Kiss name slapped on it. Also I'm not a fan of first person shooters, so I shouldn't have bought that just because it had Kiss on it lol.
I have a original Drramcast new in the box. Box is opened but everything is pristine. Demo disc and web dic, controller never even unwound. How much you guys think it's worth? I have my o.g one so I'm willing to maybe sell it.
Not trying to use John's channel to sell my Dreamcat btw. Just thought I'd mention it to the fans of the system so I might get some better feedback on the value then I've found on the web. Love your channel btw John! Happy Holidays 🎅
@@johnhancockretro Thanks for the quick reply man! Your awesome! I hope to see you here at the next Portland Retro Gaming convention. That's if "The Virus" Dosnt shut it down... Anyway have a great, safe Christmas with your family! 🎅 🎮 👍
Overall a great list of bad games. I can vouch for Sonic Shuffle which cheats, and I SPY, which is a very cool concept, but seems kind of clunky and confusing in execution
Honestly, I would go so far as to say that Ducati WRC may well be one of the worst racing games EVER. The graphics are mediocre, the sound is grating, the physics feel like you're racing on the moon and the controls are about as responsive as a can of Alpo. This dumpster fire makes Road Fighter on the NES look like Gran Turismo Sport.🤬🤬🤬
7:48 I had a feeling this one would be on the list. Seems to be a common thing. I've never played it. Has anyone played *_Tourist Trophy?_* I love that one.
Of the entire Dreamcast library, Fire Pro Wrestling and Sonic Shuffle were 1A and 1B for playtime on my system. Sonic Shuffle mostly because my kids always wanted to play "Sonic card game."
It's funny, the only Dreamcast games I've ever played were all pretty good. I wish they'd bring back Chu! Chu! Rocket! I'd buy it for any platform! Esp. if it had online! Power Stone too. Damn, I wish I had a Dreamcast
4:00 I-Spy is summed up as *"QTE (QuickTime Event) Rainbow Six"* This is obv on the heals of the Timed Arcade experience that the Japanese Arcade scene was heading into with Ghost Squad and such
I always wanted to give Sonic Shuffle a shot on my Dreamcast. Thanks for saving me the disappointment. Will not pick this up out in the wild now if I see it.
Hey John 👋 As for other BAD Dreamcast games be sure to check out Soul fighter, Dragon riders of pern (worst load times EVER), ECW anarchy rulz, Iron aces, The ring terrors realm, Evil dead hail to the king, Wild metal, and Disneys dinosaur just to name a few 👍
There definitely were a few stinkers on that system. Luckily, there were some awesome titles that makes the Dreamcast one of my all time favorite systems. Armada was THE best game on that system. Give that one a shot and tell us what you think of it.
I’ve got to come clean and admit I didn’t really know any of these games existed. Including Sonic Shuffle! But I do know and played Ducati World Racing Challenge. John, I gotta 100% agree with you on that pick. I thought it was sloppy, and the presentation just disappointed me! I never turned off a racing game quicker than that title. Woof lol.
I tried I-SPY and agree. It's just too much. A real clunker was Evolution. Starts off promising, great graphics, I thought, another promising Dreamcast RPG. I got to the last boss and was having a difficult time beating it. So I grinded to the max level. All that did, was make the boss even harder. All the dungeons and enemies are just copy-paste. Boring, boring, hate this game.
@@mazonemayu All the dungeons looked exactly the same, and they just went on and on. Battle music was great though. Maybe the sequel is worth a try, but I was real happy to finally be done with the first game.
@@michaeltylerstewart as I said: this is typical for rogue style games, as the dungeons are randomly generated every time you enter em. I guess it is because the cpu only has only so much “parts” to choose from before it throws em all together: straight path, left corner, right corner, crossroads, etc…I think it would be nearly impossible to design say 1000 diffrent parts for the cpu to choose from LoL
Acclaim was just pure evil. Despite having some good games published by that company, it was pure evil. They made the same mistakes Atari has done during the early 1980s and they were shut down more than 2 decades after the Video Game Crash of 1983.
I appreciate these worst games lists that you do just for the simple fact that it saves me time and money on games that aren’t worth either. Plus you always see best games lists so it’s refreshing to see something different.
"LJN" on an Acclaim game years after the acquisition. "The Carbuncle ate itself" indeed. I didn't have terrible problems with Sonic Shuffle, but that's easy for me to say as a copy was included with my Dreamcast. It really shouldn't have had Sonic's name attached to it as that automatically set the expectations high.
I remember wanting to play that Industrial Spy game really bad when it came out, but could never find it. By the time I could, I had already learned what a bad game it was. If I ever came across it cheap though at a swap meet or thrift store, I'd grab it to throw into my collection, but even now I wouldn't pay a lot for it.
A few of these seem like decent ideas but just didn't pull off the execution. The Dreamcast seemed like it was in a weird middle ground A lot. The power of the system allowed some really awesome creative games but some really bad misses too.
Good stuff John! In your opinion, is it worth starting to collect for dreamcast? My son and I have been playing many ps1 games, and the dreamcast counterparts just blows the ps1 versions out of the water. I know a lot of games have become very expensive.
i don't really remember playing any bad dreamcast games.. one second thought i think there was a game called metropolis street racing that i played that was bad
Spirit of Speed: I love vintage racing but this was just terrible. Next: 24hrs of LeMans... the gameplay wasn’t memorable but the track wasn’t to scale as it was shrunk for some reason.
Sonic Shuffle is bad? I don't know man but after 20 years not playing this game and trying to play it a few weeks ago I've found out that gameplay is still addictive as hell. It doesn't matter that this game is about Sonic, it's extremely fun game to play with friends for 4 players. Yeah and mini games in Sonic Shuffle is the best part of this game.
I highly agree with Sonic Shuffle, It’s a game that must avoided at all cost, not even the damn, “Carbuncle ate itself” meme can save it, sorry Game Grumps, Sonic Shuffle made me frustrated for the wrong reasons, so many headache inducing moments in real life.
Bad Management, Talking Smack about Competition, Bernie Stolar the moron etc. The Dreamcast was their last hope until Sony stomped them hard and Sega went out of the console market and went third party.
The 3D effect and the way the screen tilts on that Ducati game is absolutely mediocre. I didn't think Sonic Shuffle was *bad*, just one or two of the mini-games were reliant on luck rather than skill. It is still aa long way from being as fun as Mario Party, or indeed Crash Bash.
I have Spirit of Speed on the PC (Bigbox release) it is pretty good on it. Have it on the Dreamcast as well, it is more or less meeeh. Nice to play on a rainy sunday.
I think had the license not been lost, or even without the motorcycle license, Sega's 1997 Harley-Davidson Model 3 game would have been perfect on the DC with the Race Controller, even though it sadly has gotten a bit of a bad rap in the past despite it being a Crazy Taxi predecessor. Gah that motorcycle game you showed looks UGLY. I also about vomited seeing the LJN logo on the cover for a DREAMCAST game of all things. Good God.
Sonic Shuffle is only fun if you have three other friends to actually sit down and play with. Otherwise prepare for a cheating AI that will not let you win, even on easy mode.
Yes. I kept getting my ass kicked around and guess who I picked in Sonic Shuffle? Knuckles! Knuckles was my pick as Amy just keeps winning by stealing my Precious Stone and winning every mini games. I screamed "FUCK THIS GAME I'M OUT!" and took the Sonic Shuffle disc out and played Sonic Adventure 2 instead which is the better Sonic game I stick with.
The Ring: Terror's Realm has all of these games beat. Got to love that 10 second music loop that never changes for half the game.
The music makes the game too creepy to play at night.
It isn’t a good game but I’m still trying to beat it at some point
@@dochikari210 I was able to complete it about a year ago. I would suggest a guide as later on events to progress in the story only happen by entering certain rooms and makes if frustrating. And my god the last boss battle is.... Shit

Great video, John. I had wished Sega had went on to compete with Sony and Microsoft, but I guess it wasn't in the cards.
Ahh time to hear some "oh boy" criticism through the warmest smile ever.
Good to see that LJN keeps consistency going
It shows how awesome the Dreamcast library is when the games you claim are the worst are mediocre at worst.
I think the worst game I ever owned for the Dreamcast was Sonic Adventure 2, and that was still a good game, damn good in some aspects even.
@@Apanblod Flawed? Absolutely. Worst? Hardly.
@@IcePakOG That I personally owned.
Sonic Shuffle's premise is good but it should be a turn based RPG instead with a different name.
Man that spy games looked like a really neat idea, shame the product didn't live up to expectation!
Invisible, Inc. is a modern turn-based PC game that seems to have the same basic premise, but is executed much better.
I have never owned a Dreamcast but I still enjoyed watching. Another great video 🎯
Thank you
Fighting Force 2 was so yuck, there was also some cyber surfing board game that was just totally half baked and not fun
I think Pyramidhead87 reviewed it before he deactivated his account and I agree Fighting Force 2 was just UGH terrible.

If he's picked 5 of the 20 worst, I'm intrigued to know what the other 15 are
In my personal opinion I would say as far as bad Dreamcast games go I would say -ECW anarchy rulz, Dragon riders of pern, soul fighter, The ring terrors realm, Kiss psycho circus, Wild metal, south park chefs love shack, the Grinch, and iron aces just to name a few

The Carbuncle ate itself.
(That will now always be the first thing to come to my mind thinking of Sonic Shuffle.)

I’m glad I got that back in the day because it’s rare nowadays its a really unique game
Animal Fun Fact: Sonic Shuffle was developed by Hudson Soft, the same company that developed the first eight Mario Party games.
And created the Bomberman series too. how could they fail?
I can see why people wouldn't like Spirit of Speed 1937, but I can't help but wonder if those cars handled just as poorly in real life.

There definitely were a few stinkers on that system. Luckily, there were some awesome titles that makes the Dreamcast one of my all time favorite systems. Armada was THE best game on that system. Give that one a shot and tell us what you think of it.
There is a game called Shenmue.

Jokes aside, I need to investigate Armada without the online features. It's not exactly Gunbird 2.

"LJN" on an Acclaim game years after the acquisition. "The Carbuncle ate itself" indeed.
I didn't have terrible problems with Sonic Shuffle, but that's easy for me to say as a copy was included with my Dreamcast. It really shouldn't have had Sonic's name attached to it as that automatically set the expectations high.
I remember wanting to play that Industrial Spy game really bad when it came out, but could never find it. By the time I could, I had already learned what a bad game it was. If I ever came across it cheap though at a swap meet or thrift store, I'd grab it to throw into my collection, but even now I wouldn't pay a lot for it.
your channel is awesome!!
LMAO I am not surprised Sonic Shuffle made it. I actually sort of liked it, but what really kills it is... those damn long loading times.
Welcome to the world of LJN Games.
That Spec Ops games looks so dated that it almost doesn’t look any better than Goldeneye N64
A few of these seem like decent ideas but just didn't pull off the execution. The Dreamcast seemed like it was in a weird middle ground A lot. The power of the system allowed some really awesome creative games but some really bad misses too.
I don't know, that could be said about virtually every system.
I’m not making popcorn for a ten minute video.
Good stuff John! In your opinion, is it worth starting to collect for dreamcast? My son and I have been playing many ps1 games, and the dreamcast counterparts just blows the ps1 versions out of the water. I know a lot of games have become very expensive.
As a young adult Dreamcast collector, this video will serve me well.
I bought Spirit of Speed back in the day because I thought the idea sounded really intriguing. I didn't hate the game, but I sure was disappointed.
I love these worst Game vids, Have a Great Christmas john a everyone. 🎄
Same to you
i don't really remember playing any bad dreamcast games.. one second thought i think there was a game called metropolis street racing that i played that was bad
How many of these used the direct x win ce environment
Spirit of Speed: I love vintage racing but this was just terrible.
Next: 24hrs of LeMans... the gameplay wasn’t memorable but the track wasn’t to scale as it was shrunk for some reason.
Sonic Shuffle is bad? I don't know man but after 20 years not playing this game and trying to play it a few weeks ago I've found out that gameplay is still addictive as hell. It doesn't matter that this game is about Sonic, it's extremely fun game to play with friends for 4 players. Yeah and mini games in Sonic Shuffle is the best part of this game.
So wanted to enjoy Sonic Shuffle as a big Mario Party and Hudson Soft fan
Sonic Shuffle would be on XBox or GC a ok game. Do to the strong libary of the DC it deserves to be on the list.
I highly agree with Sonic Shuffle, It’s a game that must avoided at all cost, not even the damn, “Carbuncle ate itself” meme can save it, sorry Game Grumps, Sonic Shuffle made me frustrated for the wrong reasons, so many headache inducing moments in real life.
I believe it was the Macho Man Randy Savage (RIP) that said, 'the creme of the crop'
Genesis, Saturn then Dreamcast. 3 great consoles. How in the world did Sega fail?
The 32x
Bad Management, Talking Smack about Competition, Bernie Stolar the moron etc. The Dreamcast was their last hope until Sony stomped them hard and Sega went out of the console market and went third party.
The 3D effect and the way the screen tilts on that Ducati game is absolutely mediocre. I didn't think Sonic Shuffle was *bad*, just one or two of the mini-games were reliant on luck rather than skill. It is still aa long way from being as fun as Mario Party, or indeed Crash Bash.
I have Spirit of Speed on the PC (Bigbox release) it is pretty good on it.
Have it on the Dreamcast as well, it is more or less meeeh. Nice to play on a rainy sunday.
I think had the license not been lost, or even without the motorcycle license, Sega's 1997 Harley-Davidson Model 3 game would have been perfect on the DC with the Race Controller, even though it sadly has gotten a bit of a bad rap in the past despite it being a Crazy Taxi predecessor. Gah that motorcycle game you showed looks UGLY. I also about vomited seeing the LJN logo on the cover for a DREAMCAST game of all things. Good God.
You certainly have done a series of bad video game videos for a long time now John! I highly agree.
I had a hard time getting into I-SPY but it's really not terrible once you get it.
Great vídeo!
Sonic Shuffle is only fun if you have three other friends to actually sit down and play with. Otherwise prepare for a cheating AI that will not let you win, even on easy mode.
And a total of 4 vmus. The "privacy screen" fully realizes the concept that they are playing cards.
Yes. I kept getting my ass kicked around and guess who I picked in Sonic Shuffle? Knuckles! Knuckles was my pick as Amy just keeps winning by stealing my Precious Stone and winning every mini games. I screamed "FUCK THIS GAME I'M OUT!" and took the Sonic Shuffle disc out and played Sonic Adventure 2 instead which is the better Sonic game I stick with.
Yep, 5 craptacular DC games.
The worst game in my dreamcast collection is probably Andy McDonald Skateboarding. Good to know about Spec Ops though, I almost picked that up
I could be wrong but I think spirit of speed was LJNs last video game.
Correct
And they went out with a diarrhea bang yo lol!🤣
Ive poured at least 100 hours into ducati as a kid. I loved that game lol
