So, in your mind, what in the whole history of gaming is the biggest failure?

And I don't want anyone going "lol teh wii is liek so bad its the biggst fail evah, it only has one game and thats family trainer." The Wii is not classified as a failure because it has owned the competition.

It doesn't matter if you don't like something personally..I mean, I'm not too keen on the Xbox, but I don't classify it as a failure because it has done well.

~The unfortunate irrelevance of MS-DOS gaming
~ SPORE Creature "re-colors" (waaaaay too many of them; my friend is bad for it)
~ Incredible Hulk video games

These are just my opinions. As for NeoPets? I stopped playing that in favor of a free web-based browser game that I found to be more enjoyable.

While I agree that neopets and Spore both kinda suck, they both did well commercially, so I couldn't class them as 'failures' - they did what they set out to do, after all.

Anyway, imho, the biggest ever video game failure will be HGSS. Like, nobody even cares its coming out and it's never going to sell. Nintendo sure screwed up on that one.

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not. XD

Of the options on the poll, I voted N-Gage only because, to the best of my knowledge, it's the only one up there that spawned an Internet meme from its failure. :P

Dude, E.T for the Atari was like that DB movie that came out. Just horrible.

I thought Rapjam was horrible...THIS game makes games like Superman 64 seem like heaven to play. Speaking of which, WHY isn't that here?

I think E.T. takes the cake, there. I've never played it, but its reputation is that it almost single-handedly destroyed the game industry. That would have been unfortunate, to say the least.

I'm at a tough draw:


E.T. murdered the Atari 2600, and almost took down the video game industry with it. You had the read the manual in order to get what's going on, the game play is boring, has almost nothing to do with the movie, and even with my wildest imagination, I couldn't come up with anything other then a rumpled mole-rat walking across a screen full of back vortexes of boringness.

Superman 64
, on the other hand, was equally as trashy if not more. The designers didn't even take the time to add collision to the darned thing, the controls are terrible, the graphics look like something a high school student would make for a project, the game play is repulsive, and it is all together perhaps the worst thing to have ever been endorsed by Nintendo.

I voted for E.T.

Yeah, it probably has the worst reputation of every videogame out there. I haven't played it, but a lot of people say that it waws terrible. I might try it on an emulator though...*Shot many, many times*
