(I had to put the AVGN reference; this thread, and particularly this post is so relevant for it)
Hello gamers. You guys may have played a lot of games, but for every few good games there is bound to be a bad one, and if you're courageous enough to remember some of the worst video games you've ever played, feel free to talk about them here. Before I "let" you post, though, I'd like to share my own story.
I remember visiting my mom's friend's house in Utah in 2003. She had a SNES and Nintendo 64 in the basement with lots of great games such as Super Mario World, Star fox, Super Mario 64, Super Smash Bros, and Pokemon Snap. However, there was one game that still haunts me to this very day... Superman 64.
Oh gods! My eyes!!!
Plagued by god-awful controls, uninspiring gameplay, crappy music, and a decent-at-best (I think this is being too generous on my part) plot, it comes as no surprise that Superman 64 tops my list of worst games I've ever played. Really, all I ever remember trying to do was not to miss those damn rings and I could never get past the first stage because the controls just sucked beyond belief. I later found about ProtonJonSA's playthrough of Superman 64 and boy, after seeing that, shutting off the game in frustration in the first stage was the best thing I could've done with this game. In fact, if the game was mine, I would've probably grabbed a hammer and repeatedly smash it until it didn't resemble a game cartridge.
There are a lot of games out there besides Superman 64 that I've only heard about its awfulness, such as E.T. (Atari 2600), Action 52 (NES), Shaq Fu, Friday the 13th (NES), and Sonic 06, but I haven't played those games so I reserve my criticism on those games... for now. So, what are some of the bad games you've played so far in your life?
