I worked at Radical Entertainment back in the mid-90s which produced both Bébé's Kids and Mountain Bike Rally (aka Cannondale Cup). I didn't work on Bébé's Kids, but I did play around with getting MBR to work with the LifeFitness Exertainment bikes, but didn't work on the game directly. There was a lot of pressure to get stuff out the door since we were often doing contract work. That didn't really lead to great games.

Lester The Unlikely amusingly enough gets progressively "better" as you pass stages. Not because the game itself becomes good, but Lester actually has a character arc from being a total coward who runs from enemies to even standing upright and battling with a sword! Guess The Nerd didn't made it too far to see that coming!

Honestly, the game tries to give Lester a character arc, and it tries to do so in a way that actually impacts the gameplay. Pretty high concept stuff - there's some thought put into the game's design, which is more than you can say for the overt shovelware and cheap licensed games.

I think Lester the Unlikely is kind of an under-appreciated game that is still not very good. It’s ambitious, it looks visually solid and there’s a surprising amount of character and depth to it that sadly doesn’t translate into a fun game. I mean, a platformer game where you start as a massive nerd who runs away from turtles and crabs and end up as a brave and confident hero is a really neat idea and it kinda predates a lot of indie games now that have similar sort of setups, but a cool concept doesn’t make a good game. I think the one star is a bit harsh but I can see why it has such a rating. Still, as a game itself it’s utterly unique and one of the more creative releases on the system

Street Combat/Ranma 1/2 had potential to be a great game, but unfortunately it feels like it was a rush job. The reasons why it was called Street Combat is because Nintendo didn't believe that people outside Japan would know about Ranma 1/2. Now, this is something I heard, so it can be just rumours, but with Nintendo it's not impossible. They thought Super Mario Bros 2 was too hard for the audience outside Japan, so they released SMB based on another game, which I have to add is still a fantastic game in the SMB series.

Did you say "Take a break from Street Fighter 2" in the early 1990's?! That's it, pistols at dawn I say! Have at you! No, I'm joking of course. However, I was a very different gamer than you. When Street Fighter 2 came out that was all I cared about in the arcades. When it came out on the Snes I got it but I was pretty miffed I couldn't play it on my Genesis (I had access to both consoles). When Champion Edition came out I chose it over SF2T with two 6-button controllers. I was just so tickled that I could play SF on my Genesis of which I preferred. During that time I played a lot of different games but Street Fighter 2 and NBA Jams (Gen/Jag) were my favorite games. I didn't really step away from SF2 until the release of Doom in 1993. That was the game that quite literally broke me. I could tell you about my 36+ hour gaming sessions with Doom but it's the wrong forum for that. Addendum- As far as people saying Snes games were always better than the Genesis...I have never known anyone to say or think that. Unless of course they only had an Snes and then that was pretty normal. Don't worry, I heard the Sega Genesis only crowd do the exact same thing. It was the 16-bit war and every gamer took part in it. Some a little, others a whole lot more. ;) Addendum- You love Ranma 1/2?! I knew you had good taste and now I have proof of this. Ranma 1/2 is my all-time favorite anime from the time period. Well...it actually shares the top spot with Tank Police. Have you ever watched Tank Police before?

I really like Ranma 1/2: Hard Battle. I think that might be the only fighting game I currently own for Super Nintendo…

Agree about Pit-Fighter, and I love Pit Fighter. But in the cases where the Genesis version is better, it's usually not by this wide of a margin. Like you, I have no idea wtf happened to make the snes version this unplayable.
