If you've ever played or even seen 'Battle Monsters' on the sega saturn, you'll know its up there amongst the highest level of 'bad gaming'.
But, for this reason, for me it's one of the most memorable games i've ever owned. For those of you that have never seen 'Battle Monsters', it's basically a 2D fighter. Probably designed to cash in on the mortal combat series, but failed miserablly. Remember how mortal combat had terrible backgrounds? Well times that by about a thousand and you'll get the backgrounds that featured in Battle Monsters.
Although, the worst thing had to be the characters. I can see the designers were trying to be inventive (or even obscure), but they just came out so terribly poor. One of the characters you could choose was a pair of twins that would act as one character. Jesus. It was bad.
Unfortunately I got rid of battle monsters, but thank-fully I did record some footage of it onto vhs. Amongst friends if a game is bad, or if indeed we need to pop back into our nostalgic past of 'bad games', battle monsters will always be the first game brought to conversation.
