Worst game in your library

It's either Ultraman on the SNES (which is almost a cult classic for me due to how bad it is but how much I loved that show as a kid) or Manhunt 2 on the Wii. I think I'm going to go with Manhunt 2, since they killed off everything that was great about the first one. Every one in a while you just want to blow off some steam, and stabbing out a guy's eyes with a shard of glass let me do that in the original. But thanks to the ESRB they had to heavily censor the executions, which leaves it as a rather crappy stealth game.

there gameshark cheats you take off the red screen on the ps2 version

I thought Nights: Journey of Dreams for the Wii might be fun when I bought it. Turned out I was very, very wrong. I really do hate that game.

My Wife was totally hooked on the Saturn original years ago. The system has been long gone and the game was long forgotten by the time we recently picked up a Wii. My Wife saw that they had Nights out for the Wii and for only $20, she about had an orgasm right then and there at Toys R Us. She likes it enough, but she's not too picky. I think the controls are horrible.

UEFA Striker & Who Wants to be a Millionaire on Dreamcast, euro 96 & sega Worldwide Soccer 97 on Saturn, and soon to be Premier Manager 97, Kick off, PGA European Tour and Davis Cup for Megadrive. All bundled with 2nd hand systems, all unwanted (all boxed, anyone want to make me an offer?)

Interesting topic. Finally we can talk about the games that no one wants too =P

I used to have a large pile of NES games that were crap, but most of them rotted away and didn't work anymore. I sold them all to flea market vendor that had sold me a few bad games in the past; used that money to buy Mega Man 3 and 4. =P Among that pile were classics like Friday the 13th, Top Gun and Fester's Quest.

With my current selection, I'd say the worst games I own include Batman Forever for the Sega Genesis, Revolution X for the Sega Saturn, and the one that truly is the cherry on top of the shit sundae, Battle Monsters for the Sega Saturn.

Seriously, Battle Monsters has the same sort of a appeal as Plan 9 from Outer Space; it's so bad, it's f'en hilarious. On more than one occasion, my friends have told me to pull that game out so that we can take a break from the good games like Die Hard Arcade and Guardian Heroes. Sometimes when we play, we do nothing more than walk back and forth or jump in and out the background just to see how stupid the sprites look. A ripping good time.

Great thread. Well I am the proud owner of Bionic Granny for the c64! What the heck is that I hear you say? Well, I'm from the UK and this is a 1984 budget release on cassette from Mastertronic. Have a look on lemon 64 at the review for fun, where it scores 1 out of 10. This is often celebrated in the UK as the worst game on the Commodore system, even appearing in Retro Gamer's 'Retro Shamer' article. Other gems I own include Planet Joker and Death Crimson for the Saturn. You can see some info on these on Yakumo's very nice http://www.segagagadomain.com site, just click on the console icons at the top to get to the games. According to him the original Death Crimson is so bad it received an award for direness that actually led to it selling out and needing to be reprinted, apparently it's now a sought after and expensive rarity in Japan even though it is awful. Getting Planet Joker (the Saturn's worst traditional shooter by a mile) cheap is no easy feat either. Could this be a case of games that are so incredibly bad they provide their own kind of fun, and are good in their own way??

Toxic Crusaders. I got it when I bought my Genesis and I was so disgusted by it that I almost threw up.

Man, so many to chose from. If I had to choose one though it has to be Unlimited Saga for the PS2. Despite the awful reviews I still picked it up and really tried to give it a chance. That has to be one of the most broken, boring, and disappointing games I've ever played. I feel dumber just for having played it.

Race Driven for the genesis god that game GAHHHHH *throws it against the wall* I HATE IT why would my parents give this to a 5 year old at the time. Just to torture me ><

Mighty Bomb Jack (NES).

Endlessly spawning enemies in a near-endless maze... and no way to kill them.

And evil carnival music.

Yeugh.
