Blake Stone.

I last played it through 20 years ago and I don't remember any particularly striking layout or fun moments in there. Gets high praise these days

I forgot!
SCNR
I played Broken Sword 3 once like 10 years ago all i can remember is scooting boxes around.

Honestly, I think most Wolf3D clones (with the possible exception of RoTT) are like this. Boring, monotonous. Corridor 7, Operation Body Count (*shudder*), and whatever else they had there. Except they don't even get high praise. 😜

I can't remember 😀

Electroman - Played the shareware version once in the mid 90's and then promptly forgot about it until Gemini000 did a review for ADG Episode 156. A real snooze fest 😒

X-COM: Enforcer - I can't remember for the life of me when I bought it, much less when I last played it 😐

Hot Chix 'n' Gear Stix - Even the name doesn't ring a bell for me (the copy I have is the canadian version, called Muscle Car '76 *_*)

I actually like the Wolf3D clones quite a bit, play them often, and never get bored with them at all (yes, I know, I'm weird like that 😅 ).

Heh, I've totally forgotten about this one as well. I had it on one of those Global Star shareware compilations. IIRC, it did have its moments, and it had some nice music to go along with it, but I'd much rather play the demo of Whiplash (a.k.a. Fatal Racing) that was on one of those CDs.

Civilization III, IV and V : I only played these briefly but they were so different from Civ II that all I can remember about them is hating the crap out of them.

Driver Parallel Lines : boring game that tried to be like GTA:SA with customizable cars. Only problem is the story sucked, the cars were all ugly and the music they chose for it was bland (All songs I've heard a billion times and weren't that hot to begin with).

Skyrim : Yeah I know I rip on this game too much maybe but man it's still a huge disappointment. The game play is repetitive and the scenery is so bland that I can't remember anything about it even though I just fired it up again only a few months ago. 🤣

SimCity Societies : Seemed like a fun idea to social engineer a city but the game play simply didn't allow enough control which means it got boring really quick, as such I haven't played it since I got it (which was years ago).

G.I. Combat : Don't really remember much about this game other than it's an attempt at a 3d Close Combat and it sucked. I think it was the camera controls that mainly killed it for me iirc.

Terracide - A european Descent knockoff from the late 90's that could have been pretty cool because of it's nice graphics and shading but the controls make it almost unplayable. 🙁

There are likely tons more but I've probably forgot I've even played them by this point to be honest. 🤣

Starship Titanic.

Gunmetal by Mad Genius Software.

I still remember when I saw the old old demo of this on a GlobalStar shareware compilation disc. But ever since finishing the pale demo I forgot about the whole game ever since never coming across it at any retail store.

Then there's Thunder Brigade, the game had wonderful software rendered graphics but the controls suffered and it eventually collected dust over the years when I couldn't muster through the campaign even on the standard difficulty setting.

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! How can you say that? That game was awesome (but wayyyy too short).

Thorgal and John Sinclair...

I always considered "Z" (1996) to be an extremely dull, forgettable game, but after doing a quick research, it apparently wasn't.

Are you serious? 😕

Eh, how am I supposed to remember? 🤣 I've played so many random games that were just plain dull and boring, I can't even begin to list any.

Les Manley, it felt like a rip-off of Leisure Suit Larry, because it WAS a rip-off of Leisure Suit Larry. Except instead of being a stuck-in-the-70's womanizer, you're the 1980's Lackey A/V guy.

The difference was, Larry is actually good and memorable, Manley would get boring and a bit tedious after awhile. I don't even remember the puzzles like I do the LSL games.

Many porn and flash games. I don't even remember titles.
