The PC Engine Files No. 64! Gunboat (Not a Fun Boat)
The idea of zipping through hostile enemy territory on a river boat with a mounted machine gun should be an exciting simulacrum of an obviously dangerous and life imperiling activity. Gunboat manages to capture NONE of that thrill. The sound design is repetitive and tedious, the playfield is less than half of the screen, meaning you can barely see what you're shooting at or where to shoot next, and there's no music whatsoever save for the opening title. There are versions of this game that were positively reviewed for home computers like Windows PC and Commodore Amiga, but I suspect none of those qualities were ported to TG-16.
