Message: [QUOTE="Deleted-1, post: 852, member: 330"] Which retro games have disappointed you the most, the ones you've dreamed of playing for years, only to discover that they don't suit your tastes? For me, it's Bastard and Macross Scrambled Valkyrie on SFC. I'd been dreaming of playing them ever since I saw photos of them in October 1993. It was only in 2018 that I was able to play them for the first time, and the disappointment was great. Bastard was magnificent and looked original and impressive to me at the time. It remains a beautiful game for its time, but the gameplay is horribly repetitive and difficult. As for Macross, I adored the original series and the shmup genre in general, so it appealed to me greatly. Some consider it one of the three best shmups on the SNES/SFC. Frankly, I'd put it somewhere between 7th and 10th. It's not a bad game, but after the 1st level, which I found a little frustrating to play because of the lack of space, the quality seems to deteriorate with each level and the progression lacks variety.
