Yes, this video game saw the light of day. And people think Mass Effect 3 had a bad ending.

Ian Bragg It was actually a pretty fun game heh. Perfectly gross for a ~10 yr old kid

Zero Wing is the game that influenced generations of gamers.

Killer Instinct was pretty badass in its day and Fulgore is still quite the badass.

Johnny Tran That's my childhood right there. I was pretty unstoppable with Orchid and Sabrewolf.

Jesse Radonski Some friends and I used to rate the attractiveness of ladies by Killer Instinct combos. ULTRA Ultra ultra...

How this game was on so many consoles is beyond me.

I'm so glad I never played this game. Or, if I did, I'm glad I've blocked it out of my memory.

I don't know if I'd like to play this game, regardless of what system it was on.

Battletoads was next to impossible to finish without a Game Genie. The fact that it got this many awards shows the quality of video games in 1991.

Nothing like bad artwork on the cover of your game to make your audience not want to play it.

Willow wasn't that bad for an NES game. Look at Val Kilmer in 80's game art.
