If LJN still made horrible games would you buy them for easy achievements?

Not only no, but HELL NO. Worst video game company ever.

If they were still around they'd be developing all the shitty movie and Disney games. So as bad as those games are now, if LJN made them, they'd be worse!

[Odiumruse]

After looking at the list they've made...I've never played one. Sounds like I'm lucky.

[A ZombieTwinkie]

Haha, haha, haha.....

........No.

Wasted too much of my childhood on a few of the games they made.

[Tomsta666]

LOL

You're asking this to a board full of gamerscore whores!

[Starstrukk X360A]

Who says the achievements would be easy?

[Hand of Onan]

I've only played one or two LJN games on the old NES, but I have been known to buy crappy games for an easy 1000G. Apparently Avatar: Legend of Aang is a really easy 1000.

Maybe rent, but certainly not buy! I tend to avoid buying games solely for cheevos, they're just an added bonus, but I do like to get as many as I can for the games I do get.

[sm182]

A few of their Marvel titles spring to mind which I used to play quite a lot so I wouldn't go as far as to say they are the worst video game company ever. The games I did play were somewhat difficult to complete so I wouldn't necessarily say they would have easy achievements.

[kantizuni]

Nightmare on Elm Street for NES was awesome!
Don't go dissing LJN too quickly. I remembering playing that game on a black and white tv, listening to an MC Hammer tape.

.....and now i feel old. Thanks OP.

Oh, and Maximum Carnage was awesome too!

I was thinking the same thing. LJN just published that though, Rare developed it. The games LJN actually developed are terrible.

Im an old nes collector
And friday the 13 comes to my mind when i think of ljn and that terrible dreamcast racer.
BTW did you guys knew that nightmare on elm street was build for a second time?
There are screenshots of the game and ljn told that they first made a game where you play as freddy.

Honestly, if LJN isn't the worst Video Game company ever, then who is? Because I can't think of anyone else? Acclaim was bad, but they weren't LJN bad.

In fact I can only think of one good game LJN ever made, and that was Maximum Carnage for the SNES/Sega Genesis. Everything else they made was horrible, especially the Friday The 13th game for the NES.

Any company involved with any of these games probably deserves the title of worst video game company: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...the_worst_ever

From the games I remember playing from LJN, I thought Maximum Carnage, Seperation Anxiety (although much easier than MC) & Wolverine: Adamantium Rage (SNES) were good games.

[hydrosugar]

NO! I maintain that they make bad games on purpose, there's no way one company could inadvertently come up with so many shockers.

anyways LJN or not, im not about to bore myself to death for achievements. hell, at the moment im not even going for them in my good games. (well technically im not playing the 360 at all, but even when i do im not exaclty in a rush to pile on the points - weak effort i know)

Yes, but now you're listing the individual worst games, all made by different companies. The point is that noone has had a worse history of video game development than LJN, which spans about 20 years I believe. They made so many horrible games in the 80s that I can't even keep count of them off the top of my head.

Games like Rogger Rabbit, Friday The 13th, Back To The Future (with the stupid clocks!), The Karate Kid, and Jaws were all atrocious games that came out around the 80s and were all made by LJN. These games are considered some of the worst in Video Game history.

[TheRedComet]

NO. NEVER. I would never give LJN any of my hard earned cash. Definitely one of the worst companies ever.

[heuvadeuce]

I wouldnt call LJN the worst company.

That honour has to go to Active Enterprises for Action 52.

[Paulson]

I remember a couple of those games....Really depends am I forced to buy them new or can I buy them used for like $3....sadly it would still be a tuff choice lol

[looneyeddie]

I'd just rent them why buy a bad game for easy achievements when you can rent

[zombiejesus9000]

You couldn't pay me to touch and LJN game buddy. Back to the Future... Enough said.

[Motorexskygtr32]

Oh, man! This LJN brought my good and bad memories with LJN video games that I played when I was in a childhood in 80's and 90's.

LJN is one of the worst video game companies if you kids weren't existed back then, let me tell ya. You kids would be screaming, crap in your pants and moaning over sheer difficulty in LJN video games, I bet ya all.

LJN have made some good games, though but average at the best. Friday the 13th, Karate Kid, Maxinum Carnage, Wolverine (SNES), and The Incredible Crash Test Dummies (SNES) All WWF game series (SNES), Spiderman series, and MLB (NES). I loved Crash Test Dummies!

The reason why this LJN sucked is BECAUSE of Acclaim that owned LJN in case if you didn't know.

Here is all games that LJN published---

• Alien 3
• A Nightmare on Elm Street
• Back to the Future
• Back to the Future Part II & III
• Beetlejuice
• Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure (NES and Game Boy version)

• Town & Country Surf Designs: Wood & Water Rage

companies where only aloud to make a certain number of nes games.

[Andarion]

i had the crash test dummies game on the NES. it was rough, but i still like it.

[Doctor Gordon]

What about the games made by Phoenix Games?

[TentacleMayor]

No. I don't even buy good games just for achievements. But it's funny to think of AVGN reviewing Avatar:The Game by LJN 15 years from now.
