"Kusoge" ( 糞ゲー, or クソゲー ) is a Japanese compound word - "kuso", meaning "garbage, crap, shit", and "ge", short for "geemu", the Japanese pronounciation of the word "game". It means, quite literally, "shit game".

On page 3, Oh-Shit! is discussed. Page 2 deals with the NES Predator (comparing it to the MSX2 version, which is stated to be "actually fairly competent" (agreed)).

Can we think of more MSX kusoge? :)

Too bad he thinks the rerelease cover is a Japanese cover... This Aackosoft game was never released outside of Europe, as far as I know.

@ yum: is it so bad? Don't really remember. Smile

@ Manuel: now you say it, that's strange indeed. What would have drawn him to that conclusion?

yeah, quite bad. Really slow and ik looks like shit. The gameplay is also very trial and error.
