Worst Video Game you ever bought?
 
As the topic says, tell me the worst video game you ever purchased. It doesn't have to be limited to PS2, GameCube, or Xbox. It can range back to the NES, and even further back.

My worst video game would have to be Pokémon Snap for Nintendo 64. The point of the game was to take pictures of Pokémon. I mean, why would you do that? It's stupid, and I have no idea what possessed me to buy it.

Anyway, tell me your worst video game. :D

Donkey Kong 64....I think......Maybe a couple games for Dreamcast.

Space Shuttle Project (NES)
Star Wars: Demoltion (Dreamcast)
Mario is Missing! (NES)
Muppet Adventure (NES)

Hey, I liked Snap. Mostly 'cause I got to print the pictures off at Blockbuster. too bad Nintendo wasn't smart enough to package in a N64 Printer or something with the game. Now that'd have been cool.

I have 2.

1) Lost Kingdoms for GCN. It's okay, but the final boss is WAY too hard. You fight a semi boss, then right after that you have to fight the final boss. You use cards to fight, and you have to use most of them on the semi boss. I usually only have about 10 to face the final boss with. Total BS.

2) Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for the SNES. Not that it's a bad game, but it freezes when I'm at the level before the ice palace. And I exchanged the game a few times to Gamers (used game shop, with no return policy), and each cart had the same problem.

Airblade-ps2
Volleyball-Oddeysey ( OLD OLD SYSTEM I THINK IT WAS MaDE BEFORE THE ATARI !!)

Mario's time machine. It was some learning game. I didn't actually buy it though if you catch my drift. :wink:

that was bad. woops....oh well

GK Punk 03-09-2004 09:14 PM

I've owned many a crappy Game in the past. That's why I am so selective of what games I buy for my GCN and PS2.

Deathknight 03-09-2004 09:32 PM

Tough to say, here are my top ones:
MegaMan X6
MegaMan X7 (Luckily this was a gift but I didn't ask for it even.)
Twisted Metal Black
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Mario is Missing
Wizards and Warriors 3 (I wonder why 2 was so good and this one was so bad)

Demonfox38 03-09-2004 09:39 PM

Hylide (NES)--boy that game would make a zombie roll over in its grave.

Yeah, I remember that game -_-

Starscream 03-09-2004 09:45 PM

Well the one i most overpaid on was Fatal Fury for the SNES. I paid 70 dollars for it back when it first came out. Ugh.

As far as games I just can not get into, it'd be RE:CV. The controls on it are just a nightmare.

Eternal Champions for Sega Genesis. All the A.I. does is block every attack, and when you die, you have to start all over again. :evil:

Good music though. Blade's song is the best. :D

raphael90 03-09-2004 10:38 PM

Well...I didn't buy it actually, I gave my parents the money I had and asked when they were in Pueblo to check the used game stores for Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles catridges. Of course those as I soon learned are EXTREMELY hard to find in the used stores even. They got me instead Sonic 3-D Blast cuz it was all they could find.... :dead:

That is by far the worst game I've ever played. Not that it was really bad game-wise, but I found the manueverability to be AWFUL and the graphics were so weird they almost made me sick (my eyes aren't the healthiest).
Just thinking of that game turns my stomach and hurts my eyes. I don't blame my parents though, they tried to find me the right game... :goofygri:

Other than that one, I can't really think of any games I bought or have I don't like.

I thought 3-D Blast was kinda fun...

Any side-scroller made into 3D is garbage. Take a look at Castlevania.

UGH.

you are mistaken my friend... how about mario 64 and mario sunshine?

ThirdMarioBro 03-10-2004 12:41 AM

The crap known as Populous for the SNES. Boring as hell, and that heartbeat noise is ear melting.

*edit* Where the heck did my avvy go again? *sigh*

Those are exceptions. They're Mario games, and by default, Mario games are sweet.

Dr. Mario sucked.

愛 03-10-2004 12:49 AM

That's true, but I like the idea of Mario being a street doctor, prescribing all *sorts* of pills.

malignant 03-10-2004 12:50 AM

Metroid Prime....
Zelda pretty much....
and countless countless others that come out all the time that used to be old side scrollers.....

are all Good.

I just felt like too many people needed to make Tetris knock offs. There is only one, baby. Embrace it.

愛 03-10-2004 12:52 AM

Zelda is NOT a side-scroller.

malignant 03-10-2004 12:54 AM

Zelda 2 was...

and the orignal Zelda wasnt really all that 3D

愛 03-10-2004 12:56 AM

I don't think you understand the concept of "side-scroller." A side-scroller is by definition the person you control moves to either the left or right to reach a certain goal. In Zelda, you could go up, down, left, or right. Zelda 2 barely even counts as a Zelda game because it was called Adventures of Link. That game sucked, anyway. Screw that game.

guitardave 03-10-2004 01:06 AM

not exactly purchased... but I rented it.

TMNT (the newest one) it's pretty crappy... I know they were trying to re-create that feeling of the old games, but I mean, why settle for **** when you can do so much more... I mean it was Konami... the people who brought us MGS. how dare they lay this filth before me!

愛 03-10-2004 01:08 AM

Because they changed the logo of Konami, therefore there's assholes running the show now.

guitardave 03-10-2004 01:13 AM

hmm... good point.

so many games, so little time...
so many ****** games, so little time...

why must game developers create such digital vomit? if I wanted to see crap on tv I'd watch teletubbies. I wish I could get in on the action and tell those fools how to make a proper TMNT game.

Just so you know, I'm currently working on (well started and am taking a 3 month break) a game description/story/model type thing, and I'm going to send it to konami.

Thats every nerds dream. Doesn't mean they'll accept it. Gamers should unite and form their own company, seeing how every other company ***** on a cd and sells it for $70.

愛 03-10-2004 01:17 AM

Good luck with that.

As for why crap keeps coming up, I think our standards are getting too high. Once 3D games came around, we thought it was the best thing ever. Now that they're just upgrading the 3D effects, we're expecting the best stuff ever. They can't provide innovation anymore. Therefore, Legend of Zelda and Metroid and games like that are the only things we find entertaining anymore. It's sad, but that's how it works around here nowadays.

guitardave 03-10-2004 01:20 AM

what I meant, as to why crap keeps coming out, was why lame games and stunted gameplay keeps appearing in seemingly good games (the new TMNT game for example).

oh, and I need some opinions on this thing, should I base it off of the comics, new show, or old show, or just kinda make up my own thing involving randomly selected characters from each?

愛 03-10-2004 01:21 AM

Again, standards are too high. We want something so spectacular, but they just can't provide. Even the Japanese can't come up with good stuff anymore. They're running out of ideas, and they know this.

guitardave 03-10-2004 01:25 AM

yea, I agree... that's why they need younger people (me, for example) to help them come up with new ideas. I'm sure that they won't listen anyway. Why not make a game designed by the gamers for the gamers?

now I'm not sure that this has ever happened before, but maybe game developers should go to the public for ideas.

愛 03-10-2004 01:30 AM

It would be a disaster, because they would ask the wrong people. They would have to really seek out the true gamers, like search the comic book stores and arcades. They wouldn't do it, though. They would ask any idiot on the street what they would want, and they would suggest a new Grand Theft Auto game, or another shooting game. Though the video game industry is thriving at the moment, the peak is only because of video games like Vice City and True Crime. Eventually everyone else will think the same way we do and expect a lot more out of the games. Eventually the video game industry will fall into some serious trouble.

Pretty messed up, huh?
