For those of who were fortunate to miss their heyday, LJN was an infamous video game publishing company in the late 80s and early 90s known for their work on publishing terrible games, mostly based on popular films, comics and TV shows. Today, we’re looking at what we consider to be the worst of the worst. So sit back, and try to enjoy. We apologize for the flashbacks.

I think spiderman nes is a pretty good game. Its pretty easy to beat so its playable and uses assets from the 90's cartoon. It's not great but I don't think it belongs on this list.
I agree with this. My girlfriend and I both cringe at the mention of LJN and she turns her head whenever she sees the logo. I am unfortunate enough to have some of these on an nes multicart with 500 games in 1 (of course it also has good games included) and I got Friday the 13th in a shoebox of old videogames I got for my birthday 2 years ago (again, also included good games). Found out the hard way (playing it) that that last one was bad.
my question is which games are good there all terrible
I remember seeing some of those games in Nintendo Power.
So, do you give it a thumbs down for bringing back flashbacks, or thumbs up for relating to the games described??
I love the back to the future nes game
In the 90s real talk most kids liked a lot of the LJN games. They just don't hold up with time very well.
Hmm spirit of speed huh let's bug avgn for this!
Teacher:what do you collect? Student:I collect clocks to save my future
The only decent LJN game I can think of is True Lies. That was a rarity.
NBA All-Star Challenge for SNES. You could only be one player from each team.
LJN video art?
This list was so shit that Angry Video Game Nerd wouldn't take a giant shit on it. FUCK!
i wonder how long will it take for the avgn to make an appearance somehow ~18 secs into the vid… well that took less than i expected
To be honest here, I actually enjoyed Terminator 2 and the punisher (which you didn't mention)
"What were they thinking?!?"
thumbs up if you quit watching halfway and went to AVGNs channel instead
This studio is a fuckload of shit!
What a shitload of fuck.
they needed to have AVGN to voice over this
Terminator GameBoy edicion was actually badass.
Les be honest. The main reason we even know about this company is because of certain angry nerd.
I FUCKING ♥️ AVGN
Can't believe NFL wasn't on this list. Just… ugh. UGH.
nah, the SNES T2: Judgement Day was their worst:
Really stiff "walking mission" controls: you move faster continuously jumping, like a kangaroo, than walking.You can't even jog.
Takes too long for your t-100 to turn around.
Aiming sucks – you have to hope your target is straight in front of you, or you have to move back and forth until you get the right 45 degree angle. Aiming is also slow.
Hit detection punishes you too much – you'll lose 50% of your health before you realize you inadvertently hit a steam pipe you're next to – or some other pixel-y blurry pre-NES crap sprite that just "exploded" near you.
Really bad driving controls. The driving portion is also set at a 45 degree angle to the traditional N-S-E-W. (Again, with shitty graphics)
The screen moves back and forth while you're driving fast – almost as if you're drunk. (You'll need heavy drinks to make it through this game)
Hard as hell to make driving turns when/where you need to.
Overzealous cop cars that come at you harder than WWII kamikaze pilots – your car is rammed a few times, then explodes.
The same fucking song for each 'walking' and 'driving' level. (But hey, at least there's 2 songs in the game!)
in bill and you didn't mention that there's only 2 sounds jumping and falling on your ass
the music only plays for 30 seconds
hooray ljn
There's a Game Gear version of T2 as well. Nice to see WatchMojo fail at research in literally EVERY SINGLE video they make.
Every game that They made is bad
Never heard of LJN or any of these games, so I guess I lucked out, LOL. 😛
I think you take these games out of the time period.
NES had VERY limited space so the games were short, and that is why they made them very difficult. So "play time" was longer
Most the games looked like this. And many on here are similar to very popular ones
I recall some of these being popular at the time.
They were not the BEST games by a long shot, but they were purchased a lot
Gotcha! The Sport! was a decent gun game, just too short
Major League Baseball was a lot of fun
WWF Super WrestleMania was a REALLY good game and very popular
"SHIT THE FUCK!"- AVGN
Beetlejuice made no sense to me ever.
I love the Jaws game, shut your whore mouth.
cool dreamcast games, people complain too much.
I loved Roger Rabbit… Did I finish it lol heck no, but, as a kid we rented and had fun back then. Plus running him over while he followed us was great.
Friday the 13th… The one game I didn't want for Christmas but yes, I got it from my parents in law… I felt so bad,cuz they heard me say that before even getting it. Like… Hey, what's the last game you want for Christmas? Friday the 13th…. Yup, that's the game they got you lmao. Good times. Looking back it's a good game, the map makes no sense and most of the weapons suck other the the knife. But, still good lol
Did they just say "Let's fuck!" in the X-Men cartoon?
when i saw the title, i immediately knew where they got their inspiration from:Angry video game nerd
i don't know whats your problem with terminator 2. that is one of my favourite games. music, graphics and gameplay not bad neither. probably you so weak pussys that you not able finish wven 1st round…
I don't get why the hate for Alien 3
I remember it as quite decent. Levels were nice, ane at the eand of each you have to fight a boss (each time a diffirent one) sure, it had little to do with the movie, but was playable.
