->"I'm not referring to any title in particular when I say this, but purely as a generalization... Licensed games, [[SugarWiki/NoProblemwithLicensedGames with some exceptions]], have a bit of reputation for not being as fun as "regular" games. People have been saying that since the NES and even before—since the 1980s, in other words. But if we're judging them solely on fun, I think it's only natural that licensed titles might not be able to measure up to the rest."

Widget Series has been renamed to Quirky Work as per TRS (it's also YMMV).


->''Making games was an experimental process in 1989, even more so than today, when so many established formulas have proven successful. Couple that creative spirit with antiquated tech like the then 6-year-old Famicom, and developers had to be imaginative in how they brought movies to life as games. "Imaginative" is putting it gently, in fact. [[WidgetSeries They had to get weird.]]''

->''Let's be honest, you'd be disappointed if you flicked through an issue of '''ONM''' and didn't find your monthly 'rubbish movie-licensed game review' fix. We wouldn't be surprised if there were actually more movie tie-ins than there are actual films themselves, yet we can count on one hand the number of licensed games that are [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames actually any good]]. Most of them are soulless, money-spinning, generic pap.''

It was also released for the UsefulNotes/{{Virtual Boy}}, but wasn't received as well there. In fact, [='=]''{{Film/Waterworld}}'' on Virtual Boy' is now how you tell a computer to fuck itself in machine language.''

->''People loved ''Film/WaynesWorld''. They loved the skit, they loved the movie, so they should have loved the game, right? No. We were tools enough to jerk our pelvises at nearby women and scream, "Schwing!" for a couple years, but [[EvenNerdsHaveStandards weren't tools enough to buy this.]]''

->''Before [[Music/LimpBizkit Fred Durst's]] sex tape, ''X-Men'' on the {{UsefulNotes/Nintendo|EntertainmentSystem}} was the most terrible thing you could do to your TV. And like Fred Durst's sex tape, it starred [[AdaptationalWimp undersized, underpowered creatures]] no one could [[FakeDifficulty properly control]], and only the worst possible people completed it.''

->"I mean, it's bad enough that you have ''one'' bad game based on you, but what about TEN? Is this how you live? I mean, it's every boy's dream! To be in a video game! And then it turns into a fuckin' nightmare!"
