What? You don't like it when jumping and running are mapped to the same button?

I don't know what hate is until I rented this game
I got this for the Sega Genesis had to be most disappointing game I have ever had, how could a game that looked so cool be so bad.

lol It was charming.
A truly awful game
I like it, but I'm not stupid either. I know what you mean.
Screw this game. It was real expensive too.
I came in to post this. Game ruined months of my childhood. Honorable mention: TMNT on NES.

I swing the other way and love love loved the atmosphere. Different strokes sir.

If "game" is a really, really loose term.
Also, this:
Hard as balls. The music is etched into my brain forever.

Couldn't understand shit, I remember being at the sword after so many try's and then cuoldn't figure out how to pick it up. Played it on my grandma's laptop and most part of the game for me was searching wich key did what... i was too young
Same. Was way too young to actually get this when playing it on my amiga.
The box art was one of the biggest offenders of cool box != cool game.

I actually liked the bolded quite a bit. Especially Roger Rabbit. If nothing else, it was certainly unique.
I played this a ton and loved it
You know, now that you mention it, I think I remember playing that when I was young. I think it was a beat'm up, where you played as like 4 or 5 different versions of superman. Ya it was a decent game.

This on the ZX Spectrum ...
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I played this before or after Time Lord, but this is another contender:
Nowadays I know that King's Quest is a highly regarded series and everything, but imagine trying to play it when you're like six years old with NO additional documentation or anything (it was a rental copy). It was absolutely impenetrable.
This was actually made by Blizzard in the days when they made more than Diablo and -craft games.

Edit: A Nightmare on Elm Street (NES) is actually a decent game.

I hated the shit out of Gunvalkyrie for the Xbox.
What a pile of garbage that I paid for.
Gunvalkyrie was one of the best games on that console.
you played like the new "Supermen" after Supes died. Metropolis kid, the eradicator, steel and all that
it was fun
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
^Throw some quote tags on that image, man.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this game an 'ugh'. This is one of those games that leaves me feeling queasy in disgust. I'm sure there are folks that love this game though.
This.
And Diablo 3.

Ugh this game was the worst! I was so excited for it.
"The game is known for not having anything to do with the movie besides having Major Dutch Schaefer and the Predator. The first thing the game has wrong is that the graphic designers decided pink would be a nice outfit color on Arnie. The second thing is that you are battling aliens that weren't even in the movie like giant amoebas, green jellyfish, a weird creature that looks like the mix of a seahorse and a bird, eyes with wings and legs and more. The game also introduces what's called Big Mode that's an arcade-style sidescrolling shooter where Arnie's got to shoot his way through blueberries, raspberries, blue and red bubbles (some of which contain powerups) and at the end he fights an incarnation of the Predator. The game received mostly negative reviews because of its poor gameplay and how loosely it was based on the movie."

Gunvalkyrie seems to be hugely divisive. Even the reviewers varied quite a bit back in the day (IGN: 9.0; Game Informer: 5.3).
I never got to play it, but heard the controls are nuts!

A lot of stupid shit that I rented as a kid. The ones that come to mind are X-Men on NES and Home Alone. Though thankfully I was pretty good with my purchases and generally enjoyed them all during the 8 and 16 bit era, but I did pick one absolute stinker.
Mario's Time Machine. I liked Mario, he's got a time machine, how could this be bad? It was cheap too, sweet! Oh the misery of that impenetrable game.
Edit: Oh wait, I remember another purchased game that partially ruined my childhood. Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind. God, fuck that game in every way it's possible to fuck something.

There were a few nasty Spectrum ports on the CPC but can't think of any in particular.
Its going to have to be Outrun. What a letdown.

Huge piece of shit.
Yes it was. I still have my copy of the game in working condition.
I think I love every other FF besides this turd.
It's a shame too, because I have tried playing it at least three times. I don't think I ever got past the part where you're on a ship or underwater. I really couldn't stand Tidus at all. I like the battle music though. I may try the HD version.
edit: This is not the first game I thought was a turd, my bad. Will re-edit the post with it.

This would be my choice as well. I don't think I ever got past the first level.

The sad thing is, the first level is the only halfway worthwhile part of the entire game.

Ghost Busters for NES
I never had any idea what the hell I was supposed to do here.
I still have no idea what you were supposed to do there.
Also, 3D World Runner.

Superman for NES. He has a rich and storied tradition of terrible games. I also hated Silver Surfer for being impossible and X-Men for being basically unplayable.
Batman Forever for Game Boy
I didn't get new video games too often as a kid (usually birthdays/holidays and sporadically throughout the year). I got this one shortly after the movie came out, and it was utter trash. I never figured out the button combos (for using the gadgets) because I lost the manual, and could never get past the first few levels. It was a total waste of my one allotted game.

you actually got farther than that?!
Huge piece of shit.
My first as well and one that will never be topped for most hated, damn those rings.
With my ATARI and NES, I think I was too young to really hate a game... and now I'm too old to bother hating them. But, there was that sweet adolescence spot...
Rocko's Modern Life (SNES) - it was boring and furiously frustrating & cheap
Lester The Unlikely (SNES) - you played as a loser and you really felt like one
Bubsy (series) - frustrating, cheap + taunting death animations
Later, I also hated Twisted Metal 3 for being a piece of shit.
