bebe's kids for the NES

Man I thought I was the only one who remembered the pain of E.T. on Atari... another royal stinker from a movie was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom for NES.

Oh! What do I know about that?

Yeah. I think they made something like more E.T. cartridges than there were Ataris or people in the market or something like that, and they just ended up literally burying shitloads of them.

Hilarious!

Home Alone on the Snes. Sucked scrotum.

I've actually played that. It really does suck.

School for Radam now.

Worst Game Ever...... one of the hardest subjects to reply to. One thing that comes to mind is a PSX game that was rated by the magazine Game Players (long time ago) called Cosmic Race. They said that game was so crap that they gave it less than a 1. It somehow found its way into their ranking system... as below 1 would be considered a Cosmic Race. I wouldn't know though... as I've never played the game myself. I don't suppose anyone here has?

Nope. I remember ET, too. Had it back when it came out, I had over 100 games for the Atari 2600 back then. For a 5 year old kid, it was a pretty damned hard video game. Always falling in those damned pits.

Nice Kiki poing pic in your sig, but who's the guy next to her?

First the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man (which was horrible looking) tanked, and then ET came out with like 5000% more copies than it needed to. Read all about it (and the rest of video game history) in "The Ultimate History of Video Games." Great book.

[AlterAlias]

Oooo, Atari's E.T. is definitely right up there, but I think that I may have a contender for the throne that exceeds even Atari's 8-bit disaster in sheer crapulosity.

The stinker in question is Star Trek: Starship Creator... and oh, but where to begin?

Even in the most abysmal of games one can normally count on the interface to function with some semblance of sanity, if not grace. Not so with STSC! From progress bars that run backwards and option boxes that set themselves to arbitrary values (and refuse to be edited), to unbounded ship stats that loop into negative territory, the STSC's interface is something of a game in and of itself, with the challenge being to acquire even the vaguest idea of what the hell is going on with your ship given the information provided.

After you've battled your way through the interface challenge, you can thrill to STSC's main attraction: the starship simulation. Perhaps in this respect the team at SS Interactive became a tad overzealous, because in true 2001-style, your star ship crawls, and I do mean absolutely CRAWLS, from one destination to another. I once clocked a star ship traveling at warp 8 in its journey from one end of my screen to the other (and by no means, mind you, from one planet to the other), and timed the trip at five minutes. That's right, five flippin' minutes of staring at a static starfield as your interstellar inchworm makes its way from one big patch of nothing to another. Not, of course, that you're ever in much of a rush to get anywhere. STSC's generic tales of generic characters in generic space opera scenarios would make any half-decent fan fiction seem inspired by comparison - when you can follow the story lines at all. Apparently taking a cue from the interface design team, STSC's storylines have a penchant for stopping in mid-development, resetting themselves and intermingling in rather improbable ways. I've been spoken to by previously dispatched characters on supposedly airless moons, and I've been introduced by a male scientist to his husband and his husband (how progressive!). I've refueled my ship with food rations. I've arrived at a planet only to find that said planet has switched its identity with one in another quadrant (oh those tricky little astronomical objects!). I've even been sent on a mission to find myself (and not in a sentimental sense).

Oh, there's probably a worse game than Star Trek: Starship Creator out there somewhere. Flash games with even less regard for workmanship obviously pass through the portal dozens of times each day. But STSC's pure horrendousness can't be captured in its deficiency in any one respect, or in the bare fact of its simply being bad. Rather, the game is like a great symphony of crap, with each wretched little refrain contributing to the production in such a way that the whole is so much crappier than the sum of its parts. Perhaps in this respect at least, the team at SS Interactive has made an achievement that is, if not laudable, at least noteworthy: for in the annals of gaming history Star Trek: Starship Creator is not destined to be forgotten as a mere failure, but rather it shall be remembered forever as a truly spectacular one.

[PreacherJ]

I dunno... The Starship Creator sounds pretty bad, but has anyone ever played X-Men for the NES?

You wander around as a colorful blob (You know, yellow for Wolverine, silver for Colossus, etc.) and you DON'T do anything even resmbling the semblance of a video game. It was a long time ago, but I don't seem to remember any real level scheme, bosses, or really a plot, for that matter.

Oh, wait. I know- Bible Adventures for the NES.

Has anyone plyed this piece of crap? It kinda makes you feel all dirty inside.

"Christian morals jam-packed into a fun video game package!"

There are people that are still crying from disappointment today after playing this game in 1986. This game is the reason Anti-Depressants were created. They figured something was wrong when every member of the programming crew hung themselves simultaneously after realizing the evil they had propogated.

You have a choice of games, doing everything from saving the baby Moses to loading up Noah's Ark. That is, if your nervous system doesn't shut down from this game's mind-numbingly stupid Bible-thumping idiocy,and you shit yourself to death.

Three words if you ever play this game-

"Drown Baby Moses"

You'll understand if you play. Otherwise, I'd advice a more constuctive way of manipulating your time, such as...

well..

anything.

Except watching reality shows. You people should be shot.

I agree; LOTR for SNES is the worst. I used to use it to punish kids while baby sitting. It made them want to do their homework and take naps because it was so boring.

[Stormwarden]

My pick would have to be Darkstone for PS1. It was pretty much unplayable.

[3LiterFaygo]

Another video game I hate is war gods for the n64.
