So, I had an snes, which I loved, but my taste in games wasn’t great and my parents objected to violence, which means my collection is a bit weird.
One game I loved which wasn’t universally acknowledged to be great, was Clayfighter. It was essentially a Street Fighter clone, but the assets were all modelled in clay and animated using stop motion technique.
I think it got a lot of flak for being not well balanced and a little slow, so it kind of just didn’t stand out beyond the obvious classics of that genre, but man, I loved it. I couldn’t get Street Fighter because of my parents, but they were fine with clayfighter’s look and more humorous approach. At the same time, it still was a good beat em up, so I spent hours with it. Also, it kind of gave me an edge as SF2 was just the game everybody had, so at least I had a fun game to spend an hour with that people hadn’t played to death already.
The samples will remain burned into my memories forever. “The Blob Wins!!” Good times.
Played it at a friend’s sleepover. Some years later, I bought the N64 version from a Blockbuster for like $5 used and we played that a bunch too. I remember riding my frioend’s pegs on the way home. We got our other friend (at whose house we usually played Twisted Metal on PS1) and went to my house to take turns trying out all the characters. Great game, lots of funny lines and fun arenas.
