Double Dragon III: The Rosetta Stone [1991, Storm Software]

Turbo the Tortoise [Hi-Tec Software, 1992]
Smooth platformer in the style of Super Mario, with end level bosses needing to be stomped on the head a few times.

Re: Games that are crap... but you like anyway

Metropolis is good.

I had a lot of fun with Realm of Impossibility in two players mode. But I enjoyed it alone too.
