The worst game(s) you've ever played

I had debated putting either or both of those into my list, but concluded both were more a case of massive overhype that being truly terribly games. They're just very mediocre.

Never heard of this, although looking at the publisher, could be an Aussie only thing. Will have to try it out

It was one of those C64 games you bought of the peg in a plastic sleeve, so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't widely distributed.

Also why the eff do so many topics in this board turn to Sonic?

well we all are fans of four anthropomorphic teenage turtles. Pretty much if you were a kid in the 80's and 90's era and you loved the Turtles Sonic was going to be on your radar at the core there very similar characters.

As for the worst game I ever played it has to be Dragonball Z Taiketsu for the GBA. Holy **** was this game a disaster. The character sprites are ugly as sin. They look like overly pixelated clayfighter characters. The animations are even worse they are so slow and unnatural. Worse yet no flying or transformations. Hell you cant even play as a Super Saiyan or and final forms of the villains. The Japanese only SNES games at least had that. Gameplay is pretty much a button masher trying to do the super moves will only get you killed. Also I have to mention this they gave a move to 18 that made her shoot rockets out her ass. I don't think I ever regretted a purchase more then this.

Challenge accepted.



Any other answer is scientifically incorrect.

Going back to bad games I've enjoyed... I played the hell out of Space jam for the Sega Saturn. Obviously it was a pretty basic basketball game in comparison to, let's say, the NBA 2k series; but I found it pretty damn fun at the time. I also liked the minigames. One of them even followed the movie. You know that part where Daffy and Bugs have to find Jordan's shorts?

Then again, as a kid I really loved Space Jam. Must be the movie I've watched the most alongside the first Toy Story movie. I remember having several Space Jam action figures. It was not just MJ and the toons, but also other NBA players that were in the movie.

Charlie's Angel (PS2).

Slow fighting and running, bug ridden, awful animation, loads of SLOW climbing stairs segment.

OH. MY. GOD.

It would have been decent if the controls weren't so awful. I know that games like TMNT and even CastleVania had stiff controls, but Bart vs. The Space Mutants and Bart vs. the World were nearly unplayable at times.

The only choice for this. I haven't actually played it, but if you read up on the game and what the 'Gameplay' is, then you'll realize that you don't play it. You watch it.

You sure Desert Bus isn't worse?

[Mayhem]

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties was another one I debated putting into my list

As for Desert Bus, that's part of the unreleased Penn & Teller Mega CD game...

Ye, I know. but a game is a game, I guess. But I understand if you don't count it.

Btw, you said you didn't find any redeeming qualities about Silver Surfer. I have not played it, but imagine beating such an insanely hard game. Must be an accomplishment that beams you with pride, regardless of said game's quality.

Oh, sh*t, I've seen videos of that. That's the f*cking worst thing I've ever seen in my life. I bet every single person who paid money for that game later hung themselves.

I wonder what happened to the people involved in that turd afterwards. I mean, it doesn't seem like a promising start to a career, now does it? Imagine having that game on your CV

Well, desert bus does have quite a good theme tune, so...

[Kanon]

Actually I played the most disturbing "video game" ever!



One of my family did this when he studied and I was made to do that one time.
(I lost a bet )

What the hell is that, even?! And at least it looks kinda fun to try out at least once, unlike most games mentioned in this thread so far. A game is supposed to be fun, so it seems that game at least fills in that requirement. So I don't think it can be called the worst game ever.

But driving for 8 hours straight without being able to pause or put done the controller isn't fun at all. Even inf Plumbers Don't Wear Ties has a ****** story, at least it allows you to make choices.

At least Desert bus is a game, rather than a slideshow, so...

The medic students said they study @ssology with it.

And my reason why it´s the worst game I "played":
The game even simulates the patients cries and moans! urgh
You don´t want to hear that in the morning, cause you won´t be able to eat the whole day.

Everyone says that ET is the worst. I thought that Riddle of the Sphinx was bad. I used to say "Riddle of the Sphinx STINKS!"

oh...wow...the Language Arts teacher is often talking about quitting to become a Proctologist because it's basically the same job that he has, but pays more. He's a funny guy.

Most bad games I know off, I haven't played them. not really into deliberately playing bad games.

But, I did have a bad experience with Mount & Blade: Warband.
