Terrible game that are still fun.

Post by NeverGoBak »

Well, I just got done playing Jeopardy for N64 with my brother, really bad game. It's still hilarious to joke around and get into antics about it. At one point we tried to see if we could google the harder answers in the 60 seconds, and just got up to craziness about the game in general.

So, what really bad games, are still really fun? Even if purely because of how bad they are?

Here's an interesting article about how broken games can actually be uniquely fun particularly because of how they are broken:

Drakkhen for SNES - even though I think it's a good game, people think it's one of the worst games ever made.

That is one of the two games I've owned in my life where I randomly just threw it in the trash one day. :roll:

(the other game was the newer King Kong).

Watching others try to figure out what to do in ET for atari 2600 is always hilarious.

A lot of people seem to think Star Wars: The Phantom Menace for PS1 is a bad game but I love it!

I bash Final Fantasy X2 and Mega Man X 6 a lot, but I can honestly say I enjoyed some things about them. I don't totally regret playing them

A friend and I had a lot of fun playing Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude on the Xbox, but I recognize that it's a pretty stupid game and we never actually finished it

Sonic The Hedgehog 2006.

I don't know why I enjoy playing this game as much as I do. It's broken, it's half-finished and the story makes me want to scream...but I find it entertaining.

Heck, I've encountered a bunch of funny glitches (such as Shadow's motorcycle mysteriously driving by in the background after I finished the Radical Train stage) and somehow I've even managed to adapt to the terrible controls.
