What is the worst SEGA game?

Blue Stinger.

Nevermind. I wanna change my answer to this.

That's one of the worst video game ports of all time.

Really, how the fuck do you royally fuck up a port of Sonic 1?

The development was probably rushed like crazy.

that weird ass sonic arcade game.

 

[Turbo Kid]

I don't know, maybe Sonic the Hedgehog 4? I didn't enjoy that.

Shadow Dancer is also pretty crap compared to the first and third Shinobi games even though I thought the dog was a cute addition. The new one just released this week looks amazing too.

Sonic 4 was a stupid name for that game because it plays nothing like the classics.

Sonic Shuffle was basically just a rip-off of Mario Party but worse by much.

I actually kind of liked this, but it was weird that it had track ball controls. Surprised that they didn't try and port it to the 32X

I heard it was especially complex for developers to port arcade games to home consoles back in the '90s, although some still managed to pull it off, I highly doubt it would have made it to 32X

A 32X port of that would make sense. SEGA not porting it just sounds like a missed opportunity. The 32X REALLY needed more games.

Don't know if anyone is gonna agree, but MAN do I despise this game. No wonder Alex Kidd didn't make it past the 80s for a long time.

I thought the game was fine. Not good, but fine. One hit deaths and Jan-ken are the two things that ruined it.

Also, for bad Sega game. ALF on Master System.

 

[TinRattler]

Alf (SMS) was a big pile of shit

Hard to say. But the worst game ever released on a Sega console may be Fatman/Slaughter Sport.

IDK, Time Killers is up there too. Slaughter Sport originally being a PC game is just all kinds of weird, even though PC ports at the time were fairly common on consoles

I'd unironically wish it was a comic instead.

Well, I cant really comment on that because Id never played Time Killers.

Fatman, in turn, falls into that “category” of games where just moving across the screen is already hard on its own. I'd say every game that shares this trace can't be saved.

Still not as bad as Crash Bash for the PS1 but yeah the game sucks.

I honestly think crash bash was decent, but yeah it did kinda suck.

I will give the OP a tip: if you wanna find out what is the worst Sega game ever, maybe try to research it by platform. Take the worst of Master System, do the same with Mega Drive and so on, and then compare them to see what is the worst of all.

Since the 70s, Sega has made a whole whole lot of games, and some of their earlier arcade games are even considered "lost media".

 

[PhantomTohsaka]

Yeah that's the title, the worst Sega game.

 

[Eclipse14]

Copying this from the last thread, as it's still accurate to me.

A couple contenders, depending on your definition of it.

Worst Sega game on one of their systems? Gonna go for the Make My Video series on the Sega CD. FMV at its absolute nadir, and does not help the CD's reputation.

Worst to come from their own R&D branches (AKA Sonic Team)? Sonic Free Riders. Yeah, everyone dunks on '06, but at least you don't have to tolerate the Kinect (not to mention Flynn literally forgetting its existence when making the Encyclospeedia).

There's also Sonic Jam on the Game.com, which was his first outing outside a Sega system. To put it bluntly, it's a total dumpster fire like the system is (barring its intended innovations).
