I came across this list on wikipedia about the worst games ever, but I can't find this one title that was on an older system, IIRC it was the NES, where the programmers forgot to put in this key that opened up one of the last parts of the game or something.

Anyone remember what I'm talking about?

Here's the wiki link:

[Sho Nuff]

In before Shen Mue

 

[Xdrive05]

Portal Runner.

"ooooh the black tiles huuuuuurt"

 

[AniHawk]

They got 'J' wrong.

 

[WalkMan]

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde(NES)

 

[Speevy]

WWE RAW 2

The reason it's so bad is because you'll think it's a decent game when you first start, and then you realize it's unplayable because the computer keeps pinning you, among a whole bunch of other problems.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

In before Shen Mue

Damn beaten! I was going to say In Before Halo.

Spoiler

Feel free to replace "Halo" with the name of any other really popular game you just happen to hate.

EDIT: Actually my personal worst game is Kakuto Chojin. Only good thing about it aside from getting banned is the soundtrack.

ET

...OK, now it's over.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

My God the levels where you played as the Alligator, Bee, Lizard(?) team in Sonic Heroes were the worst. They always involved killing/finding everything and if you missed the smallest thing you had to suicide to get back to it and in some cases that wasn't possible. Only reason I couldn't call it the worst was because the other teams were vaguely playable.

Big Rigs

 

[Oblivion]

*your favorite game(s)*

 

[Xdrive05]

Bible Adventures was indeed a squirt turd, but the same people made a pretty darn good Zelda clone in "Spiritual Warfare." That one would get an 8/10.

ET

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982, Atari 2600), a game based on the film E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial, was released for the Atari 2600 in 1982. In a time when the market was being flooded with dozens upon dozens of lackluster games, this game is cited as being a major cause of the Video Game Crash of 1983. Atari, expecting that the E.T. franchise and Christmas season would boost sales, produced five million copies of the game (even though there were only ten million Atari 2600 consoles in existence). The game itself was a disaster, with poor controls and shoddy gameplay, a fact owed to its hasty development in just six weeks, in an attempt to meet the anticipated Christmas rush. Sales were dismal and most copies went unsold. The company (then secretly) buried the remainder of the cartridges in a landfill site near Alamogordo, New Mexico. The fiasco cost Atari millions of dollars and contributed to the subsequent collapse of the company.

Hot damn. 5 million copies for only 10 million systems? Boy that's just brilliant! Acredited towards the videogame crash, then buried in the desert....sheesh!

I liked Deadly Towers =(

 

[Amir0x]

I approve:

Animal Crossing (2002) - This game initially debuted on the N64 in Japan only; later on it found release in the United States on Gamecube. Gamers in the USA were shocked by the terrible "gameplay" on display: an endless collectathon strung together by fetch quests, horrendously designed mini-games and idiotic animal A.I. Often cited as being the worst game ever made, its unbelievable success in the market continues to astound true gamers.

 

[M3wThr33]

MC Groovz Dance Craze.

Find me a current-gen game that looks worse than that.

They didn't even get into the multiplayer. It almost makes the singleplayer mode look good in comparison.

 

[Stinkles]

I approve:

Goddamnit, as soon as I take this conch to Blathers, I will come back here and cut you. And Drinky, just to be sure.

caught in a web, soon you'll be dead

 

[LakeEarth]

Big Rigs of course. Its two trucks against each other in a race to the finish...wait, what's that? Your opponent doesn't even ****ING MOVE!?!? You can accellerate backwards at insane speeds? Bridges just there for show and you just sink into the river and back out? Game of the YEAR bitches.

 

[Speevy]

Amir0x: Have you played any games in which you can't actually do what's advertised on the box because some mechanic is broken?

 

[Stinkles]

caught in a web, soon you'll be dead

OK, so I took the Conch to Blathers, but he says he left a library book at the Post Office and if I go get it for him, he will give me a sand dollar. But once I've done that, I will PROVE Animal Crossing is a real game. ONCE AND FOR ALL.

 

[Amir0x]

Amir0x: Have you played any games in which you can't actually do what's advertised on the box because some mechanic is broken?

yup, and AC is even worse because it's actually trying.

it's like that pathetic little spiders when you rip off one of their legs and they try to scamper up the wall anyway

 

[BobTheFork]

I wont post more pics of it, since I've dont that quite a bit, but as always

CAPTAIN NOVALIN

 

[gjb-sensei]

Oni is definitely one of them.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em (1982, Atari 2600) is a pornographic video game notorious for its particular plot. In the game, the player controls two women with the intent of using their mouths to catch the falling semen of a man ejaculating from a rooftop.

:lol WTF? I thought Custer's Revenge was bad!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Too bad, too. The soundtrack is one of the better ones made on the Genny.
