weemcd · 13-07-2003 12:42pm #1

like in other parts of the boards, ive decided to do the oposite of the thread favourite games etc. so- Whats the worst game you ever played?

i'm split between the sims and the south park doom style one.

Counterstrike............................................... joke!!!

Hate Prince of Persia

Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast.
I mean was it even a game? Just hold up and he runs through the levels you dont have to do anything else.

deadduck · 13-07-2003 2:24pm

duke nukem 64. pure and utter piss. like a very, very bad doom.

Normally, I avoid bad games by reading reviews/getting opinions from other ppl. Once though, my brother won a Peter Pan game for PSI (didn't waste brain space on storing exact title) which was quite head-wreaking - dull, poor responses and a really annoying "enthusiastic", cheesy comments in a whiny American accent.

Dark Castle on the Mega Drive.

Sarky · 13-07-2003 4:58pm

Decathlon, on the Atari 2600 years ago. It blew monkey chunks.

kanurocks · 13-07-2003 6:41pm

Rygar, NES

po0k · 13-07-2003 6:56pm

FFVII

If I wanted 3 cds of FMV I'd get a movie on SVCD.

bizmark · 13-07-2003 7:10pm

the worst game

the sim,s good god almighty its a boreing boreing game

lordsippa · 14-07-2003 12:17am

Poll Of Radiance : Ruins of Myth Drannor.

Dreadful control system made the damned thing unplayable <shudders>.

oh... and Rise Of The Robots.

Tellox · 14-07-2003 12:28am

Rubies of Eventide.
I played this game recently (MMORPG) and dear christ...

Lawnkiller · 14-07-2003 12:35am

Rise of the Robots on the sMegaDrive was pretty bad but the 'Sucky-Sucky-Award' goes to:

Winter Olympics on the Amiga

Not only was it the single biggest contributor to carpel tunnel syndrome(sp?) in 1994 (then again, what wasn't...), but you could play multiplayer on one machine. This meant sitting around for ages, bored to tears, waiting for it to finally be your turn and then spending a few seconds nearly cracking the joystick on the cross-country ski-ing bit between a few of hte stages in the hope that your target practice was good...

Welcome to yawn central...population you....

TheAlmightyArse · 14-07-2003 12:40am

I think I played Beyond Dark Castle, which was no doubt a sequel to Dark Castle, and I remember enjoying it. Of course, I was very young and it was a game with the words "dark" and "castle" in its title, with the promise of getting to venture even "beyond" these mighty perimiters.

On topic, a million Amiga platformers spring to mind... Soccer Kid especially... oh, and Clayfighter 63 1/3 and Turok 2 (even moreso than that South Park one)

Deadwing · 14-07-2003 2:40am

I seem to recall a game on the atari ST called Hunter, it was one of the first ever games to use polygonas, and basically involved moving a big block around some islands. It was a little like masturbating with a cheesegrater, Interesting, but ultimately painful.
Also worth a mention were:
Elf
Power drift
Pit fighter

Oni
Max payne

Absolutely agree, rubbish

...Max payne

WTF!, are you crazy ?

Man, I really like that game.

Retr0gamer · 14-07-2003 9:58am

Worst games I've been unfortunate enough to pay for:

Max Payne
SoF 1+2
Mercs (C64 arcade game was great)

Worst games I've ever played:

Dark Castle (MD)
Rise of the Robots

If I was at home I would get the muppet card for SyxPak.

Quigs Snr · 14-07-2003 10:20am

Carmageddon - PS1. Was it even a game ?

Downloaded that ET game for Atari 2600 to see was it as bad as the legend says..... it is. Still don't know what its about.

Thanx 4 The Fish · 14-07-2003 10:23am

Men In Black For the PS. Fnckin hated that game...

Retr0gamer · 14-07-2003 10:28am

Actually now that I think about it Max Payne wasn't so bad compared to Men in Black on the PC ( same as PS game)

suppafly · 14-07-2003 11:14am

Gun man chronicles was fair ****e! it used the half life engine so i thought it might be half decent, jesus i was sooooooo wrong!! The sims is fair boring too, watched my cousin play it, what a crap game!

I dont care if thats a troll - those words deserve death!

Actually, Enter the Matrix did a pretty good impression of the worst game ever, maybe not on merit (or lack of same), but based on the amount of money and hype that went into such a truly awful game.

po0k · 14-07-2003 2:32pm

wait, wait, wait.

Daikatana.

Retr0gamer · 14-07-2003 3:56pm

Daikatana was an under rated masterpiece. It was a journey through the soul of the character to see just how much frustration the human soul could endure. The weapons were extremely original, I mean come on it had a shotgun and rocket launcher. And then there was the enemies. Those little flying bugs that attacked had some really advanced AI and were great fun to fight against since they were almost impossible to hit. They made the marines in HL look like the ghosts in Pac man. The graphics engine was sublime. While everyone was playing HL and Unreal daikatana proved that a virtually unmodified Quake 2 engine could look nicer than any of the other engines.

jesus_thats_gre · 14-07-2003 4:01pm

Am I feeling very subtle sarcasm here?????? There is no way you can be serious

DapperGent · 14-07-2003 4:04pm

Another vote for Max Payne.

What a load of ****e. I wish I could have punched him in the face. IN THE FACE.

ah ffs, i'd just managed to forget about that big pile of dog mess...
"DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE FFS!!!!"
i still give carmageddon 1 & 2 a quick blast every now & again on the pc, i can't believe they could've turned such a class game into such unplayable muck:(

the italian job (ps1)
"NO, I DON'T WANT TO OBEY THE ****ING SPEED LIMIT, ESPECIALLY WITH THESE ****E CONTROLS AND AN UNREADABLE SPEEDO!!!"
i'm glad to say i didn't own either of those games.

i remember a pc game from 95-98 with dino in the title, good god that was poo!

public_enemy · 15-07-2003 12:44am

enter the matrix has to get a mention,
i read a review, but my brother bought it because he's an idiot. it's probably the worst game in my house, and on last count i had over 200 games. its terrible, and the fact that so many people think its "f***ing brilliant!" makes me hate it even more...

actually the sims might just be worse, my sister has all the expansions and its currently taking up 4 gigabytes, thats 1/10 of my hard-drive dedicated to pure crap.

and hey, sof 1 and 2 are good games, they're hardly classics but still a lot of fun.

Sarky · 15-07-2003 1:26am

You can replay levels trying to break the current record number of groin shots.

Wolf · 15-07-2003 1:41am

Some people here have said Max Payne I mean WTF!!!

Brilliant game! and no where nearly as bad as some of these mentioned.

Anyway, bad games......

Mario Allstars
Super Soccer
Battle Toads
Redneck Rampage
Mario Kart 64 (what a let down from the org)
Mario 64
Versile
Delat Force Series (and most of those battle simulators on PC except 1942)
Tetris

worst game
