The Worst Games You've Ever Played.
Idea stolen from Chyron8472's topic.
What is/are the worst game(s) you've played ever? I don't mean games that would otherwise be good if not for a few things wrong with them. I mean games that have no redeemable value and are complete FAIL.
I have a couple to start off with.
Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde (NES)
This game is the worst amount of retarded bull I've ever seen. I managed to make it six levels, before I got sick of the horrible level design and the fact the levels repeat. Everything is out to kill you when you're Dr. Jeykll, and there is no way to avoid attacks. You have to have the quickest reflexes and be the best friggin gamer in gaming history to beat this. You need nerves of steel. If you get hurt enough, you turn into Mr. Hyde, and go into a dark world sort of stage. The problem is you walk backwards and if you move too far or move Mr. Hyde yourself, you die. Lightning strikes you, for no reason. There's only one boss that I've seen, a fat opera singer who sprays musical notes at you. Just don't play it. Ever. Don't.

I've searched for the name of this game everywhere, and I found it today for the first time in order to post about it in this topic. This game is a Japanese RPG, and while it's got a great interface and not terrible graphics, the game is friggin horrible! It hates all mankind and wants to glue you to the TV in frustration until your eyeballs bleed out! It's the most difficult RPG I've ever played! You can't get anywhere without dying! I played this as a little kid, and constantly tried to beat it, and I couldn't. It refused to be played past the first town. Now in it's defense, I haven't played it for years, and a lot of people seem to like it. I might give it a try again, but I know that my memories of this game, are that it is a bucket of balls. I should probably be happy to own it, as it seems to be somewhat rare.
Now you don't have to post box art shots and screenshots and stuff. I just did that to show the games off. Just post your worst gaming experiences ever. Superman 64 bad.

It was truly a tour de force
Unplayable wrecks. That's really all I can say about them. Hideous, depressing failures.
I've played even worse games, but I'm sticking to titles that were developed by established teams. If I went into indie games, this post would never end.
We had a BBC Micro back in the day, there was no shortage of poo games for it, but there were a couple of diamonds
Not the worst game I've ever played, but it's pretty awful. I got it for PC and I got immediately sucked in. Interesting story, fantastic graphics, amazing combat music etc etc.
But while on the surface it appears to be a fantastic game, it gets boring super quickly. The dungeons look the same and the levelling system is retarted. You don't level up, but your stats increase. But that's fine.
The worst thing is the difficulty. You can be levelling up for ages in boring areas for hours, only to get up to a level where the enemies can kill you in one hit. If you google Nest of Eagles on gamefaqs, theres over 2 pages of help topics on it. You're able to one hit kill the enemies leading up to the fight, then you have to kill two super powerful enemies with 5000 health, the ability to one hit kill you AND you have to deal with 9 groups of normal enemies AND they get reinforced each turn.
It probably deserves a 6.5/10, but it's worse because on the outside it looks so sweet.
My younger cousin had a game called "Horsez" for the PC that I helped her out on a LOT, because they felt the need to put horribly glitchy and confusing quests, most without maps, in a kid's game. (some involved trying to find seriously miniscule objects in a big wide area with shoddy camera controls that were already camouflaged within the setting to begin with). The rest of the game is an incredibly dumb "*giggle* *giggle* teenagers" story and doing repetitive "horse care" crap five million times. I let her install it on to my computer for her to play and I was familiar with the "Dogz" and "Catz" series from when I was a kid, so I assumed it would be the same: take care of cute horses, only more realistically as the screens implied. Boy howdy, was I wrong.
Also The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. The whole trilogy is terrible enough but jesus christ the first game is quite literally nothing but going in a completely straight line of super walled-in areas and button mashing the same hordes of enemies to death over and over again. EDIT: Oh and super long and dull tutorial sessions in one place that you must do FOUR TIMES.
Also I've never played it, but the AVG video reviewing a game called "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" is hilarious and is pretty much the worst game I have ever seen.
Of course, I'm probably just showing my age

Thanks PecanBlue, the video is hilarious
Mario is missing… wasn’t it a SNES geographic quizz, like some organised plot by geography teachers, hiding behind Mario’s name ?

I love that guy. And man, is that game bad. It's just a slideshow set to music!
although I agree Mario is Missing totally sucks, I kinda liked Marios Time Machine
Holy crap that was freakin' hilarious.
I never played Mario's Time Machine to be fair. I just heard is bad.
If you liked it, well, good
Yes. I played the NES Version. Which was worse.
Took a game programming class outisde my normal studies for fun a few years ago, we got to play that game as the example of the worst game ever made. Worst one I played...
That was funny. The thing is, I don't think it qualifies enough as a game to even count as the worst game ever.
(Also, that guy is hot. Not the slideshow guy, the guy who does the review)
What the hell it had mark Hamil, in it...that makes games good. I actually like everything about it.
I think the worst game I've ever played is Batman Forever or Dr. Jeckly and mr Hyde.
Well that's sad. I've only heard good things about the movie (although I still haven't seen it), it's disappointing that the game would be that bad.
We rented that out once, we were all "WHY DO THESE BEECHES KEEP THROWING ME IN THE CELLAR!!" Many years later my bro and I picked it up again just to get closure, even though we knew it was pants
Don't worry, from what I've heard the movie is good, it's just a pity that the game has very little to do with it. Apparently it's just as incomprehensible whether you've seen the movie or not.
I love that Let's Play, I watched the whole thing a while ago, even the tedious parts, by leaving some videos on at night and watching them from bed before sleeping. "Billiards from hell" made me tear my own hair out but it was worth it for the shout of victory at the end.
To be fair, the makers are aware that it is bad and they had very little time to work on it. It was a feat in and of itself to finish within that amount of time, but yes, it is still bad.
The worst game I've personally played was Drake of the 99 Dragons, which proved that memories of a half-decent demo from years ago can be completely and utterly false. The PC port was so bad, you couldn't even save because it claimed you didn't have a memory card inserted. ON THE PC. Gah.
Do you mean the one about a reporter who's comming to zombie-invaded area? One with soldiers who'd shoot you if you give them logicall answers?
That was the worst game I ever played.
Also, I have a friend who collects bad games, so for his birthday last year, I got him Bible Adventures for the NES. And of course, I had to play it a little bit. It sucks about as much as you'd think.
For something more modern, my friends got me Mega Man X: Command Mission for my birthday a couple years ago as a joke gift. I wouldn't call it bad so much as depressingly mediocre, and I have a high tolerance for mediocrity, so much that I didn't think that Shadow the Hedgehog was that bad. Considering that I usually manage to pick up decent games, it's definitely on the lower end of the spectrum in my collection.
I was reading through posts and... lol, Avistew says James Rolfe is hot.
Well, I'm a guy so I can't really say if he is , but I've just never heard someone call the AVGN hot before.

I've played E.T. (for Atari) my parents owned a copy of it. yeah it sucked, but once I got the hang of it, it wasn't as terrible as... let's say Superman64 (for N64) or T2 or Deadly Towers (for NES.) I have played all 3 of these, and they really do suck worse than E.T.
Oh, and I'm a huge Zelda fan but I know enough not to go anywhere near the CDi Zelda games. The AVGN reviews are enough for me on that. Philips really sucks at making video games.
I wanted to try those but the so called "working" CDi emulators don't work.
Superman 64. The only game review I've ever read where the phrase "not nearly as fun as watching static on a TV screen" was present.
Superman 64:
Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon:
E.T.:
I agree that superman64 sucks. I can't even get through the tutorial. They could have bothered to make the controls work you know
