NES
Al Unser Jr. Turbo Racing- a Formula One simulator when they weren't ready yet
Marble Madness- I'm sure the tracball would've made it much easier
Top Gun: the Second Mission- probably better as an arcade game

GENESIS
Muhammad Ali Boxing- boring
TMNT Tournament Fighters- subpar graphics and poor audio
NBA Action '96- Tecmo Super NBA Basketball is far better
NFL Quarterback Club '94- Tecmo Super Bowl for the SNES is far better

NINTENDO 64
Road Rash 64- completely pointless

PLAYSTATION 2
Athens 2004- boring
Torino 2006- boring
Harry Potter- frustrating
Sonic Heroes- got old after awhile and I kept accidentally resetting the game
X-Men Legends- got boring after awhile, especially once I started using Wolverine to destroy everything in every room
Sega Genesis Collection- at least half the games are of no interest to me

GAMECUBE
Zapper: One Wicked Cricket- a boring Frogger clone
Mega Man Anniversary Collection- I just can't get into Mega Man for some reason
Mega Man X: Command Edition- "Ah! I did it." got annoying after awhile, and the random encounters were annoying. Also, the "WARNING" message is not for photosensitive people.

GAME GEAR
Sonic Drift 2- it was cool back then, but not now

GAME BOY COLOR
Yugioh Dark Duel Stories- couldn't figure it out

GAME BOY ADVANCE
Yugioh the Sacred Cards- got as far as Mako and gave up
Spyro: Season of Ice- picture Sonic 3D Blast with a Spyro theme and you have it.

NINTENDO DS
Kirby Squeak Squad- what was the mixer for anyway?
Wario: Master of Disguise- pointless
Kirby Super Star Ultra- got boring halfway through
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass- the main temple was annoying
Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time- got boring after awhile
Spyro: Shadow Legacy- many flaws in the game, and subpar graphics (except during boss battles) and poor audio
Brain Age- lack of variety and poor handwriting recognition

WII
Sonic and the Secret Rings- steep learning curve

UNOFFICIAL
Game & Watch Gallery 4 (GBA)- the save system must have been broken or something; otherwise, great compilation
Ice Hockey (NES)- I was simply disappointed that it was the World Cup of Hockey, and not the NHL (I had it for like an hour and returned it)
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (GC)- It sucks with the GameCube controller (returned it quickly); glad they remade it for the Wii

Wii
Blastworks- pretty fun but with a small collection, there are only so many other options.

Wiiware
Tiki Towers- I got it free, and it's decent enough.

Virtual Console
Super Mario RPG- ugly, sounds bad, and plays worse. Script is terrible too.

DS
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon- Sorry IS but if you're going to charge $30 for an updated NES game, add things that are actually enjoyable, and don't make enjoyable things suck.

Gamecube
Sonic Heroes- I've only played it once, twas alright, I like other games much more though.

GBA
Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu- Simple fighting game, moderately amusing for a little bit.

N64
Off-Road Challenge- Some Arcade(?) racing game, was playable enough.

PS1
Frogger- Had some potential, but it has some massive flaws, like not being able to see nearly enough.

GB/C
Super Breakout- Decent game, others are better.

KarrotMan

Gameboy: Rockman 8 - this was a pirated game of the PS1 game i got when I was seven. I was excited because I loved megaman but when I played the game did I get annoyed really fast. There was too many glitches that random platforms were missing and stopping me to reach the end. That and It had no robot masters, only cheap looking robots.
Gameboy Advance - Yu Gi Oh - I was a yugioh fanatic once in my life, but after playing this game did I give up on the Franchise forever. The game to me was boring as I progressed because all I did was just to battle and battle all over again, and after playing the game, I had realized that collecting cards is a waste of money.
PS2 - Sonic Riders - I just plain disliked it for having a short length, bad controls(for me), and For not being the sonic game I hoped it to be.
DS - GTA CW - Its not that I dont like this game, but because I have a few games(7) and I liked all the other ds games better than this one. It wasn't as fun as I hoped it to be, that and It had too many glitches(maybe its my game cart).

Fancy a Karrot Cake?

Hawker

NES - Top Gun - bad controls, 2nd mission is near impossible
N64 - Donkey Kong 64 - Got really bored of the "collect everything in the game"
Gamecube - Sonic Heroes - Bought this because I kept seeing reviews saying it's more like an old school sonic game. One word NO!
Wii - Rampage Total Destruction - Rampage is fun for about 5 mins, then gets old.
PS1 - Sim City 2000 - Loved the original Sim City, but this one didn't hold my attention long
PS2 - Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore - Not a bad game, but I just never cared much for this series.

Flandre Scarlet, she's cute, she's colorful, she can blow up entire cities, she's also a vampire. Start running sparklepants.

Donatello

Nes - The Karate Kid - (My god is this game frusturating, but for me it reaks of Nostlagia)

Genesis - Sonic the Hedgehog - (mediocre sloppy platforming with gimmicky moments of watching Sonic speed through loops and rebounding off springs with zero control.)

N64 - Diddy Kong Racing - (Kill me now, my friends loved this game...Yet i felt the exact opposite)

Wii - Madworld - (Not for me, i despise everything about this game)

Also, I haven't owned one single bad game for the Snes or GCN so hehe

GameBoy
Rugrats: the Movie: the Game - I remember playing this one when I was young and not being able to make it past the third level. For the longest time I just blamed that on my childhood inexperience with games. However, I recently tried playing it again, and I got just about as far. The game is just terribly designed. You need to collect every item in a level and then make it to a certain check point to advance to the next level, but if you are hit once you lose every item you've collected and you have to go back and get them again. Compound that with the fact that you move slower than a drunken turtle, you have no way to attack and speedy enemies are placed in areas you have to get through and the game just turned into a lesson in frustration. Oh yeah, and there's also a time limit. Honestly, did they expect children to be able to finish this?

Another thing that confused the heck out of me was that I looked up reviews for the game. There weren't many, considering the game's age and audience, but the general press scores I found went from 5s to 7s. And they talked about how the game had a difficulty that was "Just right" for a kids game. The first level was easy enough, so I doubt they played farther than that. I found more reader reviews though that generally agreed with my "How the hell did they expect a kid to beat this?" opinion.

Sorry, my other entries won't be so long, I've just really been annoyed at that title for a long time and needed to rant. Anyway...

DS
Lock's Quest - I really hate mentioning this title because I want to like this game, it has charm for sure, but it sort of screwed up in the way that you never really felt like you were winning. After wave after wave of enemies you'd never really have anything to show for it. I keep hearing about this game getting praise, but I don't get it. Maybe I'm just not a fan of tower defense.

Wii
Sonic & the Black Knight - Stylistically, I loved this game. But when you can buy, finish, and return a game all in the same day, there is something wrong. It was just too simple to enjoy.

GBA
Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius- I don't actually know how the heck I wound up with this game in my collection. I wasn't a fan of the movie, and I wasn't a fan of the show. Most likely it was a gag gift or something. Anyway, the game wasn't particularly bad, but It wasn't good either. It never really had it's moments, good or bad. It was just average.

GameCube
Viewtiful Joe- Viewtiful Joe is an amazing game. A disc that won't make it past the first cut-scene without crashing is not.

PS2
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection
This is a good game, my PS2 collection is just really small.

PS3
flOw - I got it for free thanks to a special promotion Sony was having. Still, that doesn't change the fact that it's just a glorified game of Snake that you can't lose at with motion control.

X-Box 360
SneaKing- Dammit Burger King! You and your three dollar games looked decent! WHY DID YOU BETRAY ME!? In any case, sneaking up one people and surprizing them with tasty fat inducing burgers is fun at first... until you realize that is all of what the game it.

NES: TMNT - Insanely difficult

SNES: Terminator 2: Judgment day -So ... freaking ... awful.

N64: Hey You Pikachu! - Pikachu had listening problems, and probably mental problems. However, I did like this game as a kid, it's just my least favorite that I still own.

GCN: Turok Evolution - RIDICULOUS loading times and terrible single player. The multiplayer is pretty fun, though.

Wii: Alone in the Dark - .............. His hair looked like chalk, the controls made no sense and almost never worked, barely anything was flammable for a game that's main selling point was fire, the voice acting was made of cheese, the blinking thing was stupid, the enemies were repetitive ...... ugh, god I hate this game ....

DS: Scribblenauts - A great idea that had sh**errible execution. The physics weren't even there, the challenges were stupid, Maxwell controlled like a drunken bull wearing rollerskates on a boat during a hurricane, and the combat was horrid.

WiiWare: Gyrostarr - Soooooo borrring.

360: Godfather 2 - I preferred the first one on Wii. Really boring, and when I'm playing it I can't stop thinking "I could be playing GTA4 or Godfather Blackhand Edition ..."

GBA: Spyro Orange - ... Well, this one was just awful.

The best strategy in the game: go up stairs and pause balls.

Wii -- Alone in the Dark. Grabbed this for $10 because I wanted to see if the game was really as bad as the reviews said when someone goes in with low expectations. After all, the concept looked interesting enough and it seemed to have a decent development/advertising budget. Should've saved my money.

WiiWare -- Bust-a-Move Plus. Controls are weak, many single-player levels are entirely luck-based making high scores pointless. Luckily the multiplayer is still fun enough... but I wish I could get rid of this stinker.

Virtual Console -- Sonic 2 (Master System). Wanted to see how Sonic held up on the Master System, but should've gotten the "real" version instead.

OUCH, I loved that game on the N64, like the only Star Wars thing I've ever liked! Even have the sequel on PS2! On of the few I've bought the expansion pak for so I could get better graphics!

For Me, i've had lots, some of the few I remember:

NES:
Smash TV
Knight Rider (liked the old TV show though)
Top Gun

Genesis:
Risk

Virtual Boy - Everything and the system! Had like 6 games with it too.

Dreamcast as a whole. Haven't found many games I'd like to buy, and the ones I have aren't anything to write home about! My Dreamcast probably has some of the lowest hours you can find, Got it new as a gift and spent maybe 2hrs playing on it, then back in the box till now! Should sell it, but not worth 2 cents around here.
Xpendible
Sega Rally Racing 4
Resident Evil Code Veronica (have it also for PS2 so won't bring out the system just for this)
Also own but haven't tried Pod Speed Zone, Test Drive something.

SNES:
Justice League Task Force
Primal Rage
Bruce Lee The Dragon

PS2:
Aeon Flux (can't seem to get into it.)
Tokyo Extreme Racing Zero/3
Auto Modelista?!
Gran Turismo 3/4 (I actually bought a PS2 due to wanting 4. Great looking, yet AI is terrible!)

Wii:
Wii Play (boring!)

NES: Muppet Adventure. Ugh, what a terrible game. At least it probably appeared to be a decent gift from when I was about 6 years old at the time.
SNES: Nickelodeon Guts. I liked the show, and got this used for around $7 back in the late 90's. Just a bad sports-style compilation.
Genesis: None really
N64: South Park. At least it made decent use of the license, but was pretty bland otherwise.
GCN: The Fairly Oddparents: Breakin' Da Rules and Shadow Showdown. Bland, boring platformers that could have done much more with the license.
Wii: Wii Play (worth the $10 asking price if you want a controller, but doesn't have much lasting value) or Puzzle Quest (a bad port of an otherwise good game, why must the text be almost illegible and the non-pointer control scheme be so nonsensical?)
DS: Diddy Kong Racing DS. A poor conversion of the excellent N64 game with badly implemented mic and touch screen use.
GBA: Advance Wars. Not a bad game, but its gameplay just didn't click with me.
GBC: Perfect Dark. Doesn't play well at all.
GB: Battletoads. Overly difficult like the console versions.
GG: Mortal Kombat, a poor conversion overall, although I liked it at the time (mid 90's).

I like Wii Play. Pose Mii sucks, but the games are fun otherwise.

I'll agree that the mic and touchscreen aspects of DKR DS are bad, but otherwise a good remake (although it would be nice to have an analog stick).

The only thing wrong with Star Fox Command is the controls. 3D games need an analog stick.
