The one between three and three.
Now, back around '94, me and the crew would get together at our apartment on Friday or Saturday and play Genesis games while tossin back cold bottles of 20/20 or Boones eatin' cheap ass pizza from Mr Pizza across campus. Me and the crew were HUGE fighting game fans back then and I worked at a video rental shop that had videogames so we ran through pretty much every fighting game made for the Genesis there was back in the day.
Shaq Fu:
I knew of the studio that made this, Delphine, from a game on my old Atari ST called "Another World" aka "Out of This World" and from another Genesis game called Flashback. Both of those games are a part of my all time favorites, especially Flashback, so I had high hopes for Shaq Fu. Turned out to be some bullshit. The controls barely worked, the moves were odd as fuck, and it was almost completely unplayable. Still, my roommate was determined to play the shit and while I was at work the next day he got a couple of characters down but still declared the game to be shitty as fuck.
Rise of the Robots: Maybe a week after we returned Shaq Fu we rented this steaming pile of shit.
^^^ everything the cat in that video says is precisely why this is probably one of the shittiest games ever made. It's the kind of experience that makes you lose your buzz out of anger.
Ballz:
I'll give them one little bit of credit for this game: It was the only 16 bit game at the time that had an actual 3D arena where you could side-step attacks into the background and foreground. Aside from that, this game is absolute trash. The controls are fucked up and barely respond and the character designs are some of the worst I've ever seen. Plus, the 3D aspect, while neat, is almost unusable because it's hard as fuck to tell where your fighter is in relation to the other so you can try to land a hit but end up punching nothing but air.
I'll add on later.
