7 Terrible Video Games You MUST Play

There are a metric shed load of terrible fighting games out there; from straight-up clones of popular franchises like the early Mortal Kombat games getting ripped off by any studio with a digital camera, to utterly broken experiences that have no earthly clue what the concept of "roster balancing" is, but out of all of this slimy sea one title above all deserves your attention, Kaiser Knuckle.

To be clear, the actual fighting mechanics in this Taito Title are actually pretty decent, however, there's one moment so utterly terrible that it's less an education in pain and more a three-year uni course in having your teeth pulled and a masters in having someone spit in your face and wipe the mess off with their taint. I'm speaking of course about the final boss of this experience, The General is the cheapest, most aggravating son of a bitch in the entire genre.

That's right, go kick rocks, Shao Khan, shove it Seth, The General is the real deal when it comes to being a total iron pike up the back passage. You how some final fighting game bosses have one utterly cheap tactic that they spam over and over, like teleportation, move theft, invulnerability frames that let them tank damage? or no windup or telegraphing whatsoever?

Well, The General has ALL of them. ALL. OF. THEM. Beating this military leader is enough to give you war flashbacks. Yet you MUST play this, to appreciate the restraint that other developers show when programming their final encounters. Kaiser Knuckle shows us what the abuse of true power is, and it's uglier than getting your face kicked in.
