To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

So whats the worst space sim/game or the worst conversion of a good game you have played and why was it bad and if you can find a vid of it, even better.
I have few candidates I can think of and not all of them have an X in the title. 😆
First up.
Starfighter D'Yammen's Reign
Came out very late in the Amiga life span in 1998, it's basically a poor man version of Wing Commander with some very basic graphics, although it boast about light wave 3d been used for the graphics, a radar which doesn't work and poor collision detection. It also comes with lot of digitized speech which makes the English version of Tomorrow War sound good..

Considering it was made from one guy. it was not bad.My choice would be Team 17's "Phoenix - Deep Space Ressurection". http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/phoenix
Star Crusader was not much better. There was a lot of dodgy miggy games that came out near the end of the 90s.
Oh nearly forgot, FFE! That was a disaster when it first came out and was not really anyway fixed until John Jorden got hold of it. Still smarting over it's no-show on the miggy 🙁

How bad is it, I might have to get a copy sometime. 😀

Long time since I played it but I dont remember Star Crusader being that bad.
FFE was a bit of a stinker when it was first released and it was probably the main reason the Amiga version was cancelled.
Really bad conversion of good games.
HELLO Wing Commander 3&4 on the Playstation
Must have spent more time looking at the "LOADING" screen than playing the game as well the controls being really bad IIRC.
The last dynasty.

It was a very bad wing commander clone with adventure elements, weak fmv's, cruel controls and a silly story. This game is just a waste of hardisc space.
X3 reunion and X3TC were also the most boring space games i ever played. Don't even mentioning the controls.
But i don't think i played any other space sim wich disapointed me so hard like this three games.
The last dynasty a strange one with that myst like game they added to it.
Starbound. Was supposed to be released in 2013, and has no sign of being finished by the end of this year. Very linear and shallow content. Modding is a hassle, and the forums cannot take any criticism. All of this for a game that gathered 6 million dollars on kickstarter.

I got a copy and your right it a stinker :haha: also a PC called Star Assault is laughably bad http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/star-assault how this managed to get released is anybodies guess.
Battlecruiser Millenium.
Enterprise nothing to do with Star Trek but an 8 bit space trading game which let you talk to the trader on the planets, which after 5 minutes could drive you insane.
