[QUOTE="KDLadage, post: 895855, member: 88"] There are a few stinkers I have seen (and a few I have attempted to play) in my day...[list] [*] [b]SYNIBARR[/b] I purchased just to see if it was as bad as people say. It was. I sold it to a guy that wanted to see the same thing. [*] [b]FATAL[/b] is not only bad, it's in extremely poor taste we well. [*] [b]ROHOWA[/b] is the most racist, intellectually devoid piece of garbage I have ever had the displeasure of knowing existed. [*] [b]MAN, MYTH AND MAGIC[/b] was a horrid (albeit, short) read. [*] [b]IMMORTAL[/b] was terrible only in that it had such great potential to be a good game. The fact that it stunk (mechanics wise) while being attached to such beauty (concept wise) made it all the worse. [*]For those that can remember, there is the fun/terrible that was the [b]ARDUIN GRIMOIRE[/b]. Ah... the memories. [*] [b]FANTASY ROLE PLAYING[/b] (subtitled: [i]the Highest Level of All[/i]) was a great introduction to fantasy RPGs as a concept while providing a completely unplayable magic system, as well as having an experience system that includes the biggest mathematical error I have ever seen.
