the worst game ive ever played was in my opinion, wolfenstien for the xbox. it had shoddy controls. bad graphics for the Big Black Box and bad multiplayer.

and i do remember the E.T. game. there even was a cheat to make the game crash forever. if you put it in right the game would never load again!

Interesting, Question there tho, I never said whats in your quote. But I DO prefer MUDS to MMORPGS... I actually loved to play Aabarism II tho.

I also hated Darkstone, not because of the game itself, but because of the load times. Gah, would've been decent if not for that.

Amen to that. Don't forget the ridiculous fact that it takes 6 blocks to save.

Ugh, I hated this game with a burning passion. It was just so...stupid (for lack of better word). The gameplay wasn't all that fun, and it was an astonishingly easy game to play through.

You know. I think you're a very special unit.

I also thought Simon's Quest was pretty decent. It was too easy, but it was fun.

Star Trek: Starship Creator was pretty darn bad.
Privateer II: The Darkening (Wing Commander universe), was a massive disapointment after the superb Privateer.
Any Barbie game from what I've seen.

I really don't care for Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy XI, but I can't award them "worst game" because they do have some very good points to them.

Am I the only one who didn't think the ET game for Atari 2600 was all that bad? Usually people just complain about getting themselves stuck in pits all the time, which (besides having nothing to do with the movie) wasn't THAT big a deal. Sure, you have to mash the joystick a lot, but still. Once you've gotten the hang of it it can be somewhat entertaining. Course, it's been many years since I've played it, so my opinion may change if I dig out the system and give it another go.

The worst games I can remember off the top of my head are...

Hydlide (NES) - Ugh. It's from the same people who brought us Heroes of the Lance, so it being awful is no surprise.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (N64) - Luckily I only rented this one, but cripes is it horrible! I was expecting the usual tournament battles and versus fights and everything, not a boring pseudo-adventure/beat 'em up with crappy controls. At the very least they coulda given Scorpion the spotlight or something...

Adventures of Dino Riki (NES) - A sad attempt at making a prehistoric action/adventure game into a third-person shooter. If your character didn't always move so damn slowly to where he can't dodge crap it might actually be fun, but nooooooo. You die too quickly to have any fun.

Unlimited Saga (PS2) - Just thinking about it makes my brain bleed.

Eh, there are loads more I can't think of.

A worst game thread with no one mentioning Atari's E.T.?

My stomach hurts.

I thought I was the only one old enough to remember that.

You endure some of those horrible games when you're always a system behind your buddies. Yar's Revenge wasn't that bad either, but it inevitably had the same effect on me time-wise.

Yeah, I know what you mean... The Bouncer was like an hour long, if you watched the videos. If not then you can beat it in like 25 minutes.
As for Dance Dance Revolution, this might sound a little cocky or asshollish but it's my opinion. I think alot of people say they don't like it because they lack the ability to do it or they don't like the fact that it's like playing a musical instrument in the sense that you have to practice to get good at it. Most people that I know play it once and stomp off saying "man that game's retarded" and yet they found it interesting enough to play it the first time. I know this is usually the case also because I did pretty much the same thing the first time I played it. I said it sucked for a whole year before I went back and played it again. Since then I've been playing in the arcade for almost two years now and I love it now that I'm good at it.
So for most that say that they hate it, they probably just can't do it.

Chalk up another person who played the ET Atari game. [Sarcasm]Thanks for jogging my memory[/Sarcasm].

When you fell down a hole and had to levitate back up, his head would extend and an extremely annoying sound would happen. I remember sitting forlornly in those pits for what seemed like an eternity, but it probably was 5 or 10 minutes. I was 6 years old er something.

Aw...the floating head extend-o thing was always my favorite part...err...parts.

I should really dig it out and play it again, but I know I'll probably just end up hating it after all these years. In that case, I guess I won't bother and remain the only person on earth who didn't dislike Atari's ET enough to crush its cartridge, set the pieces on fire, and bury them along with all those copies somewhere underground in New Mexico. I'm a human enigma!

I think we're all forgetting Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, on Ps2 and XBox.

I don't think it's possible to give the title to one single game. But here's a few that come to mind.

I can't think of my most hated game, but up there is...

Ninja Gaiden (NES)

mostly because I played the arcade version and loved it so I wanted to try it at home.

I was severely disappointed, it was a completely different game with no class at all.

These games SUCKED!!! If you value your sanity, do not touch either of these!!!!

I don't think anyone's mentioned these, so I think they deserve to have their dreadfulness recognised.

First of all, Wanderers From Ys, for the SNES. This is a little known game, for a VERY GOOD REASON. This cursed wretch of a sidescroller had graphics that belonged on the NES, and gameplay that left me writhing with loathing...

The second was Barbie Race and Ride for the PS1. My friend actualy owned this game, and after 5 days of Vidio game deprivation, I was reduced to playing this, her only game. Let me tell you that Barbie was a degrading enough charecter without having the abbility to speak. Even the horse sucked. You could only pick names for it like "Daisy" and "Sugarlumps." I never even looked at that game again. I only hope it's not to late for my friend...

Ok I like the Zelda games but that one was boring. It just didn't appeal to me.

How many Army Men games are there? I could of sworn it's ideal to stop making crap when everyone calls it that.

The Resident Evil series just irks me. You're supposed shoot things that may or may not be on-screen when you can't aim well in third person? Then it's just a classic Capcom series where a sequel comes out every year or two without any breathtaking changes.

Resident Evil 4 is set in a full 3D environment and (I think) will allow first-person aiming/shooting. Of course, I haven't been paying the least bit of attention to how the game's coming along, so don't take my word for it.

I do like the series, but now that you mention it Resident Evil Zero was horrible in my opinion. Switching between characters lost its novelty quickly and the utter lack of item boxes meant wasting your time running ridiculously far out of your way just for a freakin' key/ammo/etc. Halfway through the game I had a single room filled with so many sparkling 'dropped' items it looked like an army of pixies had stormed the place and flung glitter everywhere.

1) Deer Hunter-

Oh sure, no plot, no story, just a rifle scope and a few dead deer.

2) The Sims

Whee! Hours of staring at a few idiots who speak gibberish doing the stuff that YOU would have been doing if you weren't staring at them! Y'know, doing the real thing would probably save electricity.

Alright it's all my opinion, I know that these two games are popular and I'll probably have a few assasins after me before the day is done, but don't stone me, please

The worst game I ever played was MegaMan Battle Chip Challenge! stupid game.

Nobody mentioned Mario is Missing for the SNES . . .

I am going to give everybody the benifit of the doubt and assume nobody else played. I actualy bought the sucker, just got it because I love Mario and the games he is in. This waste of two bucks money also has Luigi in the star role, saving Mario. Which at the time made, it seem like a wonderful addition to my Super Nintendo collection. Despite all that it had going for it, it was awful. The only diffuculty it provided, was playing through to the end. You had to walk for hours, retriving stolen landmarks, from koopas that just walked right by you. Once you did this task you had to bring said landmark back to where it came from. This must be the game where the Princess Toadstool is stupid cliéche comes from. I say this because she quized you to see if it was real. If you can't recognize Big Ben, somthing is wrong with you. Once in a while there were "bosses", that were exactly the same as the koopas and did nothing but walk through you. The final boss was exactly the same as the rest. I only played all the way through because I couldn't belive a Mario game could be so awful. To this day I refuse to buy Luigi's Mansion.

Role reversal at its finest.

The Transformers for NES.

This game is so ridiculously hard, were it not for the save feature of the emulator, I'd never get past the first level.

--------------------

And behold, I saw a Pale Gaming System, and the name of he who rode it was Squaresoft, and Enix followed him.

Worst game I ever played? Y'all are going to hit me for this, but FFV. Or maybe FFI/II. Just awful and not worthy of the FF moniker. Hopefully FFXII will resurrect the glory days of FFVII/FFX.

pokemon games-they just suck.Period.

all party games-Others might like 'em but I don't,especially sonic shuffle those games are all hard and even if there is items to make the games easier,the opponents f**k me up first.

And 7th saga wasn't a bad game I like that game,sure you start out slow but when you get the hang of it you'll be surprised how much fun it is.
