    Here's four that come to mind:

    IJ4 - Great theme that Stern managed to screw up.
    Star Wars Trilogy - Great theme that Sega screwed up.
    SWE1 - The game, like the movie didn't live up to the hype.
    Roadshow - Not a bad game, but a disappointing follow up to TZ and TAF

    Interesting, I have seen RS spoken highly of on several boards.
    So it seems like there are no good Star Wars pins in general!

    RS is a good bang for the buck game, but at the time it came out Pat Lawlor was coming off the success of TAF and TZ and had an almost unlimited budget to work with and decided to make a game based off the theme of "Road Construction". It's laughable really! He could have picked any theme he wanted and the game could have been another top 10 game that goes for huge money. Instead you have RS, which sells for under $2K despite a production run that is only about 40% of what it's predecessor "TZ" sold.
