Takin' it to the Hoop is my vote.  I've never been a sports game fan though.  So I was biased on my vote.

Power Golf, although I don't think that any of these games are actually bad.

Takin' it to the Hoop - The cheekily goofy sprites can't save the double fail of 'sports game' and 'basketball'.

Pac-Land. I don't dislike it, its just my least favorite on the list. Kind of lightweight.

I'm the only person here that would vote moto roader..lol.

I like all these games on the list, really.  But I had a HELL of a time finally getting my hands on MR at a decent price, and when I finally got it.... gah.

No where near as fun as micro machines....  :cry:

All of these games have something going for them, especially considering the time in which they were released.  

China Warrior isn't bad for what it is.  

Sports games are easy to pick on but these titles are actually OK.  Having never played a video golf game before (or real golf), I was able to pick up Power Golf, figure it out in 15 minutes, and found it somewhat addictive.  Takin it to the Hoop is lame but has decent play control and is an OK two-player.  Tennis has the RPG mode and Baseball is actually good!  

My least played game on this list is Blazing Lazers.  It's over-hyped, feels generic, and the power-up system is confusing.  I've always been more keen on odd-ball, underdog games, which is probably why I own a TG16 and SMS.  Honestly, I'm more interested in Cyber Core or Dragon Spirit (and later vertical scrollers like Raiden and Soldier Blade).

Wasn't me. Blazing Lazers/GUNHEAD is slightly overrated in my opinion but still an awesome shmup.

China Warrior.  As I've said before, it's possibly the very worst game I've ever played on any system.  It's in the same league as the games in that piece of crap Action 52 for the Genesis, but here you only get ONE bad game instead of 52.  In a way, I guess it should get some credit for being more merciful. :lol:

Oh, and please don't rehash that "big sprites" argument.  Big sprites do not automatically make a game good.

Oh the sadness.

I always thought it was a fun mindless punch stuff game.

I do wonder what it would be like if the game used tiny sprites.

I had to pick China Warrior. Even when I actually enjoyed playing it back in the day, it was a horrible game...clumsy, incapable, and altogether shoddy. I still play it once in awhile for nostalgia purposes, but it is certainly one of the worst-programmed games they ever released. Maybe someday I'll rip the sprites out of it and do a sequel on the Duo, lol. :)

I didn't play Blazing Lazers until about a year ago...and I was actually quite impressed with it, as it seems to have aged well.

I don't really "hate" any games...except one, and you all probably know which one it is. :P
