Double Dragon

Though this game's not based directly on the Double Dragon movie (starring Robert Patrick), it does feature footage of it in the intro. The actual game is a one-on-one fighting game, with one interesting feature - Tiny 3D mode. The regular mode is played from the usual side-on flat view, and Tiny 3D mode lets you move the "camera" around the action while you're playing.

The problem with this is that all of the background scenery and characters stay totally flat, giving it a pop-up-book look. There are twelve regular characters, and they've each got a selection of fireballs and dragon punches, but everything is so badly worked out and executed that the whole game looks like turd, only it's not as much fun to play with.
