My bad if this has been posted before, but check out the 20 worst video games ever. http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/egm.htm
I love that website. I just wish Seanbaby had not stopped writing new articles for it. The last one was in January...and before that he hadn't written one for like 6 months.
the only one i played on that list is #1....ET horrible horrible. i think i kept playing it cause i thought there had to be something else besides trying to get out of the pit. there just had to be something...
I went to that site from the fatbabies web site. They had some flaming reviews of bad games back in the day... and had some kind of business e-tailing games over the net, too.
I used to play that E.T. game all the time. Yeah it sucked, but hey, it was Atari. I think I finshed the game eventually. Falling back in those pits over and over was brutal. OOuuch...
Oh man, those Phillips CDI Zelda games are horrible. I was watching G4 and they have this show called Icons, well this episode was about Zelda and they brought up these games and said that Nintendo doesn't even aknowledge their existence. They were made by Phillips and it was a stipulation from a contract to make a CD add on system for the SNES. The third one used live actors, terrible terrible stuff.
http://www.gamespy.com/top10/december02/shame/ Gamespy did a 10 worst games ever thing quite some time ago. The two lists share a LOT of games, but the biggest difference is the order . . .
Bible Adventure? This game sounds hilarious. You play the part of Noah hunting down and subdueing unwilling animals, usually by smashing a vegetable over their head. I wonder if churches went out and purchased this game to use in sunday school classes?
I don't know how many old- school Nintendo 8-bit games you guys played, but Jaws was complete garbage.
Super Pitfall was a game that I made the mistake in buying. I remember I got it for one Christmas and I was so excited to have it. I played it like for 2 hours on that Christmas day, and I quickly got disgusted with it. It was the worst....game.....ever!!! I think I wound up either giving it away to a pawn shop or getting $5 for it; I really can't remember it. I just remember I was SOOOOOO glad to be rid of it.
Worst game I ever bought -- Lillehammer 1994 Olympics for SNES. I bought it because we had just moved away from Norway, so I just bought it because of the Norway factor. WORST GAME EVER!! None of the "games" were particularly playable. I couldn't get through 2 seconds of the bobsled or luge without tipping over, no matter what I did. The shooting one was pretty good, but that was it. Every part of it was completely unplayable!
Yeah most of those olympic licensed games usually suck. I made the mistake of buying Sydney 2000 for Playstation and it was just so bad , I think I played it twice and was completely disgussted afterwards.
Does anyone remember the old odyssey game system? My brother and I received it for christmas about 30 years ago. In order to play you had to tape an overlay on the tv screen. We thought it was cool at the time.
I actually played Hydlide long enough to BEAT it! I even wrote to Nintendo Power and asked for help because I was stuck on one part. It was OK, but that was before I played Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy...I played Hydlide on my NES emulator recently, and couldn't make it through more than 5 minutes...
That Seanbaby guy hasn't updated because I think he's now been actually hired to write for a few publications. I've seen articles in Electronic Gaming Monthly and GMR by him, I believe.
