Another worsest thread, this time video games, there must be something in the air.

I'm not sure this counts has it was never realised.

Of mainstream games I think Ecco The Dolphin on the Megadrive, seems to be ringing some alarm bells.

Nothing can be as bad as Howard the Duck. Not even the worlds worst driving game.

is it a game though? since it has not any enjoyment or entertainment value, intentional so, isnt it a simulator of a very dull job?

Widely considered the worst game of all time and a contributing factor in the 1983 video game market crash.

How dare you!

Anyway, that 'Desert Bus' game looks a bit tedious, but it's no 'Superman 64'. Or that one with the trucks, 'Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing'.

Damn and blast, I wanted to post this first. Hilarious stuff.

Any like minded nerds should check out Angry Video Game Nerd on YouTube, a who's who of awful games constructively and critically pulled apart.

I was going to ask whether they ditched a bunch of unsold cartridges in Nevada (or Arizona...hmm) somewhere and see who got the reference but I see ET has already been done!

This being the case I submit Rise of the Robots or, simply by reputation; Custer's Revenge.
