Worst Commodore 64 games!

I actually liked "Batman The Caped Crusader" at the time, I'd probably think its not so good now though

It's the kind of game you like in spite of itself. It oozes charm and atmosphere, and the puzzles are reasonably fun and fit well with the character and setting. But on every screen after the first couple you're beset with swarms of small enemies who flit around the screen sapping your health, and your character is simply too slow and awkward to avoid or kill them(and even if you do, two more will replace it in a second), so it becomes a dull, hard endurance test. I like it in theory, but it's really only enjoyable with a cheat on.

For my worst, I nominate Cauldron(or Cauldron 2 possibly), the one with a bouncing pumpkin head exploring a castle. Massively difficult, mostly due to a control scheme that felt like playing Operation wearing oven gloves.

Vigilante was dire too, a beat-em up with no freedom of movement, and your hero seems to be missing his arms below the elbow. Now imagine it with the frame rate of Castle Master. And just to add insult to injury, the levels bore feck all likeness to the arcade.

Harrier Attack, moments of comedy ineptitude like bombing your carrier and running into your own missiles aside, was just too dull, ugly and repetitive.
