Re: Worst game EVER made
I may think of another choice, but this game is loved no matter how bad it is.

Re: Worst game EVER made
I'm going to have to disagree with the Shaq Fu hate. It's not the worst ever, really.
When I was a kid, I was very, very forgiving of entertainment. I watched Saturday morning cartoons with paper thin storylines, reenacted ridiculous battles with action figures for hours on end, and I played the likes of Awesome Possum and Shaq Fu and beat both. My verdict at that age was, "It's pretty good."
To find the worst game ever made, one must look harder than, "Oh, Superman 64." or "It's Shaq Fu." Because a 6 or 7 year old with too much time on his hands and too little to do could conceivably enjoy them.
The worst game ever has to be something so shallow, so broken, so banally impossible to enjoy that not even an impressionable kid would want to touch it. Really, guys, film is to "Manos: Hands of Fate" as video gaming is to... what?

Re: Worst game EVER made
I suppose I'll have to enter what I'd consider the second worst game of all time at this point.

Re: Worst game EVER made
I have played a lot of shitty games, but the worst game that I own has got to be Technocop for Genesis. This game simply sucks. I lured in by the gore of its advertisements. They got me good!


Re: Worst game EVER made
One that ranks on as one big stinker is Sonic 06. What a pile.
I'm going to have to defend E.T. on this one. It's not the worst... it's playable.
Superman for the 2600, now there was a stinker. Otherwise, I can't really think of a title other than the two I mentioned that wanted me to throw my TV out a window.

Re: Worst game EVER made
As a kid, I remember seeing the commercials and ads for Superman 64, and seeing Supes go all God Hand and Ice Breath on a bunch of baddies, and I was like "Hell yeah, this looks awesome." Then I spent my allowance to rent it. And got rings. Endless rings. Bored to tears.
Only game for the N64 I played that I felt was as bad was Quest 64.

How much time have you spent with this game?
Only about 5 minutes before I got tired of trying to figure it out. I could tell it was a bad game when it was the only 15 cent game at the game store. I think I got ripped off.

You could probably say that most sonic games made after the dreamcast are bad (Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and the Black Knights, Sonic Heroes).
