Wondering what gets your vote for the worst game of all time.
Posting this because I keep seeing that everyone says that ET for the 2600 got their vote, but I found a video on YouTube that would make THAT game look like Final Fantasy VI:

THIS thing. I swear, I just want to try this just to laugh at the suckiness.
But yeah, I figure that I should get some opinions of the worst game of all time...or at least the worst game you've ever played.

Oh, and I also wanted to show you that so you can see where I got my new custom title from. Don't ask WHY I was so amused at that "error", but I was.

One game for me before seeing THAT video comes to mind: Backyard Wrestling:
The game's point was one thing: Throw various shit at your opponent that will never fucking hit because the controls are so whacked-out that you can't aim for shit, all the while getting shit tossed at you that somehow hits you. No actual wrestling necessary, or even the stuff that got BYW such the rep it got (even remotely). I think there was a mattress that resembled the ring in the backyard (I THINK), but that was all that resembled a wrestling game...well, that and the "moves" that you would NEVER NEED because you're too busy chucking shit at your opponent (the opponent never bothers to use them, either, going RIGHT FOR THE WEAPONS TO THROW LIKE A GODDAMN PITCHER). Not to mention that I don't CARE about any of the "wrestlers" in the game.
Can anyone explain to me the POINT of the story in that mode. There was a cutscene of a talk show, and that was it...and nothing else was made of that. All I care to remember, since it was so random.
I think ICP made some sort of appearance. Nuff said.
The graphics sucked ass, and I can't remember the sound or music to save my life. Should tell you something.So yeah, BYW definitely ranks up there. How it was able to get a sequel I'll never know

Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, Link: The Faces of Evil, and Zelda's Adventure
(1993, 1994 CD-i) Though not considered to be true Zelda games, these are widely considered to be the worst Zelda games ever created. As part of the termination of a contract from Nintendo, Philips gained the license to produce three Zelda games (Link: The Faces of Evil, Zelda's Adventure and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon). All three received overwhelmingly negative feedback and are referred to in some circles as the "Unholy Triforce." They were notorious for bad gameplay, animation, scripting, and voice acting, but The Wand of Gamelon was roundly condemned by Zelda fans and is #6 on Seanbaby's 20 worst games list.[42]

I think it adds to otherwise very cliche and boring reviews, seriously laughed my ass off at the truck racing.

Y2Ant, probably the only one out of all of those Zelda games you had in that post that had the SLIGHTEST bit of potential would've been ZA, because of that half role-reversal (I THINK that was the one where Zelda was the main playable character). That was the ONLY bright point out of those disasters.
If Nintendo could do something like that, it would sell alright. In one of the Nintendo Comic books I got when I was much younger, it told that Zelda never missed when she shot an arrow at someone.
But yeah, there's my OT comment there.

The WCW games for the N64 were awesome, especially Revenge. If you actually liked No Mercy you'd like Revenge (and even WCW/nWo World Tour), considering they used the same engine - and was what was WM2k/NM were based on.
Now WWF Warzone/Attitude/the ECW games, THOSE sucked. Terrible grapple system.
And Fire Pro is awesome. So everything but the BYW comment was uninformed and/or wrong.

When I was a kid, I was really excited to get this Transformers game for our IBM based computer. That game sucked. Never understood what I was doing. I don't recall seeing a goddamn autobot or decpeticon. The first level was something about trying to kill an escaped T-Rex at a county fair because that is what transformers do, right? There was no transforming what so ever. Biggest rip off ever.

And there was an N64 fighting game I believe it was Dark Rift that was also atrocious

Fighter's Destiny was awesome. I loved the points system instead of simply knocking each others out. Can't argue about Dark Rift though.
Alvin & the chipmunks. Got it free with my wii, and for a game aimed at kids... fuck me its hard. And dull. One play made me want to kill kane knight

It was a SF clone released on SNES, Capcom actually went to court stating that it was a direct ripoff of SF. What was that game?

TR:AOD wasn't actually a really horrible game. Just got really repetitive after awhile. It turned out to be the same shit we were playing for a LONG time. If they had just kept with the storyline they were TRYING to get to (Lara being chased by someone, forget who exactly. We ended up with the original premise no longer having anything to do with the game), and if the camera was in the right fucking place when we needed it to be, it would've been THAT much better.
