Popular games (that really suck)
shmokes:
No Mortal Kombat has ever been good. The suck starts at the title - ooh sub a K for the C in combat . . . clever!
Also +1 on Sonic if that's ever been in the arcade. There's never been a good Sonic game unless like Mario and Sonic at the Olympics was any good (and even counts as a Sonic game, which seems doubtful).
SavannahLion:
I'll probably get shot for this but....
Not a specific game but I never really liked rail shooters. You know the kind I'm talking about. You're on a fixed path through the game and the goal is to blast anything that moves into giblets.
I get the idea and I admit I played a couple of them for a while (generally on the console though). I just don't see the long term appeal. I think I'm spoiled by games by the likes of Quake, Duke Nukem 3D and Half-Life (not arcade) where you actually have some degree of freedom and exploration (for what it's worth).
The second type are the "Pick Your Own Death" adventure type games. If I mention Space Ace, that should be enough.
The problem with those games is well... re-playability really. There really isn't a whole lot there. Push up here. Push down here. Push left there but if you're too late you'll die. Once you burn through the game there really isn't a whole lot of reason to play through again, hence the lack of appeal for me. This unlike say.... SFII where you have the potential to play against (hopefully) a good opponent or like SMB where you can make up some random goal depending on how drunk you are.
While games like Space Ace are reasonably fun the first time through, the game starts sucking major if the damn op on that owns the circuit is slow to change the cabs out on his route.
Bootay:
The Sonic games on the Genesis were good.
I get the point on the Dragons Lair/Space Ace type games. But for their time the graphics were unlike anything anyone ever seen so it was amazing and exciting (at the time).
20+ years later they aren't very impressive. But I have a love for them just because of growing up around them.
As for Baby Pac-Man....the problem with that game is I was constantly trying to get it to go to Pinball mode. I didn't care about the "Pac-Man" part of the game because by the time that game came out I was way over Pac-Man. I actually wouldn't mind owning a Baby Pac-Man cab.

No they weren't. They were retarded fast and that novelty put stars in people's eyes. The gameplay is awful. The music and sound effects are like having your brain run over a cheese grater. The story makes the mario series seem literary. The art direction is garish. The whole thing just sucks.
Donkbaca:
Altered Beast, totally sucks...
