*not sure if want to know wtf game that is*

/almost never plays/played third person games
//sheltered existence... all the happier for it
/first person, biatches

Takeshi's Challenge isn't all that bad, not only did it receive an unofficial English translation, it's actually a memorable Famicom game for all the weird tasks you had to do.

Games that are worse have poor programming. Case in point, the Superman 64 reference, and others here so far.

Aquaman?

Superman for N64.

Wow. I never played with an N64 but I know the graphics weren't even remotely close to looking that crappy, even on debut. Mescaline + programming = a hell of a drugged game.

/also hates consoles
//controllers are stupid
///console-tweaked games suck

dopeydwarf: Never played that one, but I would say this would be the all time worst game for me:

You have meddled with the primal forces of video game lore and you... will... atone!

/ahhh c'mon it really wasn't that bad. bad but not that bad.
//was moer a case of overhyped and overmarketed
/yeah getting stuck in the pit was lousy

Once again:

gopher321: I used to think Daggerfall was the worst game of all time, then I took an arrow in the knee.

/had 2 b said

No..No it didn't.

Rise of the Robots on the 3do.

Even worse than Way of the Warrior.

I'm not sure if this directly tied to the topic but just about any korean MMO is terrible. One particular Espanada Grenada Sword of the New World is so grindy it make it an art form. Since it is so heavily focused on grinding with huge numbers of trash mobs a persons avatars(you get 3) basically don't require the play to guide them. Leave them in a room, go to work, come back they will likely still be grinding away at trash mobs.

No hate for Daikatana? I played that crappy game and, no, John Romero did not make me his biatch. That was blatant false advertising.

Takeshi's Challenge, it seems, is an elaborate practical joke on Kitano's part - a way of thumbing his nose at people who waste their time trying to accomplish futile tasks

So no. Not even close

Shostie: For instance, in the original Legend of Zelda, there's a note in the manual that the enemy "Pol's Voice" is vulnerable to loud noises. This was a hint to players to yell into the mic on the controller to weaken the monster. Since the U.S. controller's had no mic, this hint was rendered essentially meaningless.

oh man i hated those weird rabbit things

Any console FPS

Dead for Tax Reasons: don't get eliminated!

I love that show.

Oh you know what? I have never played a terminator or robocop game that was any good. Anyone know if any of those were any good?

Here's some gameplay Link (new window)

I do want to lob some hate at Crash Bandicoot's abusive load times on the PS2... like a 10 second cut scene took 50 seconds to load, then another 50 seconds to get to the next cut scene.

I have played ET and it sucked. I played JAWS for the NES and that sucked. We Had War Gods (borrowed from somebody) but all we ever played on the N64 was GoldenEye, Wave Race and Madden (and sometimes MarioKart). I've never seen Superman 64 and BOY does that look like crap!

Takeshi's Challenge looks to be too zen for its own good.

Takeshi no Chousenjou was unpleasant to play ON PURPOSE.

Not only is it not in the same league as E.T., Superman 64, Big Rigs, or the myriad Action 54 titles that made Cheetahmen seem polished and bugfree... it's not even in the same competition.

There are a lot of crappy video games (many of the more notable ones came from the last decade and had "Tycoon" in their title). It's not hard to make a video game suck; just make it completely unresponsive, devoid of any sort of fun, and throw in some compelling feature (a popular license or an iconic character) that makes people want to keep playing even though they should know better.

What we really lack is a "best worst game," something akin to Troll 2, where it's so awful that it's good. A game that would be otherwise competent if it weren't so amazingly misguided. I'd say "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" would be one of my nominations for this category.

Gergesa: Oh you know what? I have never played a terminator or robocop game that was any good. Anyone know if any of those were any good?

I remember Robocop 3 for the SNES had play control so bad that making it past the first level was an incredible accomplishment. Even if you managed to get through the much faster and capable enemies, the moving platforms over pits were incredibly hard to successfully jump on with your crappy jumping ability, so about 5 minutes into the game when you first encounter a pit, you usually die.

FTFA: For most, the Nintendo Famicom's Takeshi no Chousenjou (or Takeshi's Challenge) is a game so terrible, so utterly lacking in merit, that it's passed into videogaming folklore.

Ahhh, yes, Takeshi's Challenge. A game so terrible and so infamous that I, a child of the eighties, have just now heard of it. Yep, a very memorable bad game, right up there with ....uhhh ... that one .... you know .... where there were these guys .... and things happened ... things!

Seriously? Superman 64, Total Recall, Back to the Future, the recent Jurassic Park, ET - none of these beat this game? Bull.

Zoo games, in general. Redneck Jamboree, Chicken Blaster, M&M Beach Party. Play those and you will know video game pain.

DeltaPunch: Isn't there some website or youtube channel some guy reviews video games while narrating a walkthrough? He reviews horrible games, and ends up swearing at TV the whole time.... if I recall some of them were pretty funny.

You're looking for the AVGN videos over at Cinemassacre. He's actually working on a feature-length AVGN film, which will be... interesting. I'm not sure that it's a good idea, but he really wants to do it.

Wasn't Looking at his Neck: Once again:

I actually didn't mind E.T., there were certainly worse or more frustrating games on the Atari. Considering it was developed by one guy in about 4 weeks when a typical game development cycle then would take 6-7 months, its actually pretty good.

Friday the 13th was rough. So was adams family for nest. I think my first game on it though was Russian Attack.

I'm going to go with 'The Town With No Name.'

Angry video game nerd.
