Useless weapons
Does anyone know of a weapon in computer games more useless than the 'mine' in Cybernoid? The only times I ever used them was by accident, when trying to quickly select bombs under pressure!
I think that target thing on Zynaps comes a close second!

Still like the game though.
Nooooo they were great at long range, often did a last gasp saved with one of them
I seem to remember them being highly innaccurate
Knifes are supposed to have little effect on androids!
I agree. It's frustrating when at the beginning of the game you get it unintentionally, grrrrrr!

Never liked the yellow weapon in R-Type. The ring laser thing was the best, the blue reflecto-beam thing was good but that yellow ****e was ****e!
Grenades in Green Bert weren't very good especially as the level they show up on is really hard.
Any of the melee weapons in Target: Renegade. I always felt they slowed you down.
One weapon that I mistakenly thought was gash was the flamethrower in Alien Syndrome but when I gave it a proper go it was devastating.
Interesting shout there for the Rebelstar laser rifle. I didn't mind it (but I always aim through the enemy which improves accuracy). The light sabers seemed to be rubbish as weapons. Good for clearing terrain though.
The laser rifles are definitely one of the more accurate weapons. The photons are terrible at range, as are the laser pistols.
The light sabres are not useless either, with a bit of luck and persistence they can destroy airlocks, saving valuable combat droid blasts.
I agree that the grenades are less effective than the two first weapons, but they are actually better than what they looks like and have a larger "impact area" than what is visible. :)
The most useless weapon I can think of
the light sabres can also cut through the security doors, leaving those combat droids to rip apart those master droids when at close range.

that worked....you just had to "stun" them with the chopping motion before stabbing them for the kill I think
Knife from Cobra probably gets my vote... bloody useless thing whizzed about anywhere....speaking of which - ANYTHING on wizzball before you can turn off the bouncing...
Yes, you hack away until you hear a beep and then go for the stab. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty much 100% effective; it's the opposite of useless.
The insurance policy in Dragonsbane. :)
Not really a weapon but the orc that you can cast in Chaos is useless, even the King Cobra can kill it.
