Worst Games to Ever be Published Thread

[Keranu]

Is it bad, that after racking my brain for nearly 2 minutes, I can't really think of a game that I absolutely foaming-at-the-mouth hate?

I mean even the worst games usually have some sort of aspect I enjoy.

Hey I agree with you. I like what Black_Tiger said some time back, hate is too strong of a word, so I don't really have any games I necessarily hate. Dislike, maybe, but not really hate. It's better to love than hate anyways.

After re-reading this thread, I'll add Drahken to my list. It's not fun at all, very boring. The only thing saving it is that awesome little overworld track, I love SNES elevator music. Drahken 2: Dragonview is MUCH better.

Corporation/Cybercop for SEGA Genesis is horrible, but only because the Genesis can't handle it. I'm sure the Amiga version is MUCH better.

Accele Brid for Super Famicom is not very good, although with a bit more time in the over it would have ruled. I mean, come on, robots that turn into spaceships racing against each other against FMV backgrounds, what's not to like? It would have been the systems Wipeout, had it not been insanely hard, and had the backgrounds not been 5 second GIFS of badly pre-rendered sci-fi-scapes. The soundtrack pwns though.


Also, Super Puzzle Fighter 2 is a horrible game because it has taken away a lot of my life.

The only game I could probably really hate on is Legend Of Legaia, because it has WAY too many random battles, I do not exaggerate when I say every five paces a battle appears. They even put a little floating crystal above your head to make you aware of this.

However, this is based on my opinion from a Best Buy demo disc we received with some PS1 game, the real game could have possibly fixed this error.

I liked Legend of Legaia, a lot actually.  It's a great RPG with one of the most interesting fighting systems ever.  The fact that you can get nearly every enemy spell, including the end bosses spell makes it pretty interesting, but sometimes it can be very annoying to learn the spell you want.  The number of random encounters in the mist areas is a very good thing, usually you only venture into these places to level or to gain a spell.  At these times you want to fight a lot generally.  It saves a lot of time walking left and right over and over and over again.

Do you know for a fact these were pre-rendered?  I always thought this game was programmed similar to other fake SNES 3-D modes with all real time graphics.

I'm pretty sure, them being blocky and pixelated, and going on for a infinite loop of 5 frames.

Robodemons on the NES sucks.

Mercs on the Sega Master System is pretty bad.  I remember being impressed with reviews of the Genesis version in 1990-01, so I picked up the SMS port on a whim last year.  As an Ikari Warriors clone, you'd think it would be a hard formula to f*ck up.  Unfortunately, the game has terrible flicker, almost no music, no two-player, shit graphics for the time and bad hit detection.

Almost all of the TurboGrafx games are redeeming in one way or another.  Most of the bad ones are a least interesting.  It's easy to pick on sports games, but I'd say Super Volleyball is the least appealing game on the system.

Rescue: The Embassy Mission! (NES)

Ouch, I'm a big fan of this game (although I did sell it years ago...)

Yeah, I know of at least one other person who has an interest in this game. I don't really care about it either way, but I'll never forget renting it when it was first released and thinking: "this is the worst game I have ever played".

It came off as more of an un-game, in that there seemed to be very little gameplay/interactivity.

Dragonview is cool!  The only thing I don't like, is the 3D, I'd love to remake that game for the Turbo, & turn the map, into a 2D top down view!

 I liked the 3D, the Turbo could pull it off.

Dragonview actually had some really good 3D for a SNES game, but I would have liked it to have step movement instead (like Eye of the Beholder) so that they could have put some nice detail in the overworld graphics.  I love the game though, it totally rules.

I forgot about Rise of the Robots on SNES, that was the worst game I had ever played up until Superman 64, which I think is slightly worse.

I just got Dr. Chaos for the NES yesterday (free, luckily). I played it for about 5 minutes today before I had to turn it off. Man, that game is awful.

I liked both games in the series.  Drakhen was fun!  It was a launch, or near launch title for SNES.  It was like D&D in a video game!

[Kitsunexus]

It was a launch

Yes. I wish I had the cart of Dragonview instead of Drahken though.

Hoshi wo Miru Hito for the Famicom. I haven't played it, but just reading this article on it gives me the shivers...

If after reading this article you become depressed, play something totally bad ass to convince yourself that there is still good in the world.

I didn't want to mention it right off, but if you aren't looking right at the picture's text it looks like "Shoot that Funky Plunger, Dildoboy!" which, considering other titles in the 3D0 library, isn't much of a stretch.

I'm going to agree with everyone who has nominated Superman 64.  Horrible, horrible game.
