Pit-Fighter for the SNES. I don't remember any particular sense of excitement on seeing it on the shelf in a game shop (and subsequently buying it), but it proved to be the worst game I will ever play.

(Looking on GameFaqs, it seems to be the most universally hated game: 11 reviews - all 1/10)

I liked Top Gun!

Anyway, the honest to goodness worst game I ever played was some game I only ever saw once, at a video rental store when I was a kid. I can't remember the name. It was for the NES, and was some kind of overhead driving game where you were a cop, and you had to set up speed traps to catch traffic violators.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to set up a speed trap, so, frustrated, I would just chase the speeders down and shoot them. If you did this, though, the game would end, and it would tell you you can't just shoot people for speeding.

If that's the case, why did they give me a functional gun for the purposes of this game? It's just a "game over" button? Weird.

And if I need to set speed traps, why not make it easier than it was to shoot my gun, which I apparently wasn't supposed to be doing anyway? To shoot the gun you just had to press B or something, but to set a speed trap you had to perform some convoluted controller-aerobics that neither I nor my friend could figure out over the course of an entire weekend.

Real stinker...I wish to god I could remember what it was called.

I liked Top Gun, too! I think almost every NES game contains some fun to be had. The limitations and odd design issues still being worked around back then make it fun to try to work against the often poor programming as a challenge or for laughs. I mean, how else could someone play Dragon's Lair? It was oddly the more forward thinking ones that I sometimes enjoyed the least, like Kirby's Adventure. The low difficulty level feels like an SNES game, and it in many ways doesn't feel like your typical NES game.

you begin to hate a game after spending hours upon hours trying to figure out what to do and why some random black circle keeps smacking me in the face and making me lose

Really? Shadow the Hedgehog was actually the only 3D Sonic game that I liked.

I have played a lot of crappy games, but holy crap, Sonic and the Secret rings might top the list. I wanted to rip the disc out of the Wii and stomp on the thing.

The Game.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

Shadow The Hedgehog wasn't that bad, IMO. Sure, it was pretty rough around the edges with glitches galore, but I thought it was fun for what it was, not to mention it was one of the more innovative games in the series.

And who the hell called a classic like Bionic Commando one of the worst games ever?! Shame on you, man! Shame. On. You.

Okay, I don't know if this is the worst game I've ever played, but it's definitely one that sticks out in my mind - Valkyrie Profile. That game absolutely horrible in every possible way: it had very important gameplay elements that they never, ever tel; a lame-@$$ story with cringe-worthy dialogue, not to mention it was terribly paced, and had unlikeable characters. The battle system was the worst I have ever seen in a video game! You just keep on mashing the two buttons and the enemies are dead. No strategy, no spells. Nothing. Just the face buttons that corrispond with your characters. Easily the worst RPG I've ever played, if not the worst video game ever. Yuck!

Xmen, Tom and Jerry, and Looney Toons, all for the Sega Genesis, Clayfighters 631/2 for the N64, Scooby Doo for the GBA, and Rugrats in Paris for the GBC were also pretty horrible games.

Naked Brothers Band for the Wii. At least it only cost me 7 bucks and included a usb microphone that would have cost me 25 bucks.

I know, it's so bad. But I just got Lego Rockband for free from Old Navy, so the microphone is being used quite a bit now.

It's hard to say... Jimmie Neutron, attack of the twonkies was pretty bad- it was boring, and it required certain inventions but it never told you what or how to make the invention. There were a million items, but you only got one of each, and I had to restart my file every time I made the wrong invention and didn't have the gizmos any more. I never like games based off of movies or tv shows. The only one based of a Movie I've ever liked is toy story 2 for N64. Spyro enter the dragon fly or whatever it was called was pretty not-good also.

Just let it happen.

Oh, my bad, he said Bionicles, not Bionic Commando. Goes to show how good my reading skills are.

Good, because if anyone said bionic commando was the worst game ever, that would be really, really messed up.....

As I mentioned in the other similar thread, I didn't like:

The Final Fantasy series

(Crystal Chronicles series is fine though)
