Your Video Game Hall of Shame

[deihatein]

Priceless...and ha ha to you for actually getting that game.

I actually have the game but it was given to me by my cousin without me knowing it. Maybe he know how worst that game is

I vaguely remember a platformer on the NES featuring a space hero of some sort but I can't put my finger on the name. I remember trading in a game I didn't want for it, then going back the next day and trading it in for something else.

Is that the E.T game?

[Andrew]

No, it wasn't E.T. The protagonist was a cartoonish human astronaut with an oversized head. I suppose that describes a fair amount of platformers back in the day but I remember this one as being so disappointing I played it for about five minutes before returning it the next day.

Street Fighter 2010 on the NES which i had also comes to mind. has nothing to do with the Street Fighter series at all.

hey the first tmnt game for NES is fun if you get past the water level. But yes the rest of it would rather make me rather have a buffalo diarrhea dump in my mouth. sorry been watching alot of AVGN lately

[Andrew]

His videos are always good for a laugh. Even though I liked Bart vs The Space Mutants and Bart vs The World enough to put them in my personal HOF, his reviews of both were pretty spot on.

[[Q]]

as a kid, occasionally id get past the water which i got better at but in the next level id always game over when the stupid bulldozers run me over or falling in the sewers into the water.

[Andrew]

Mind you, as the AVGN points out they should be able to swim.

[shadowgrin]

The water level didn't piss me off as much as the battle against the Technodrome. It's like you know you're possibly near of finishing the game and can't afford to die but the difficulty of the battle (or the game as a whole) just bites you in frustration if your character dies.

I finished that game only once. To think that such a hard game would make the ending more memorable, only thing I remember is a picture of Splinter saying something at the ending.

Donatello is a fucking tank in that game.


Superman 64 is also horrible. It's no different from watching a screen saver (that maze one) . Even a screen saver has better graphics.

[[Q]]

geez i have never been past the level after the water level. how do you finish that game?

[shadowgrin]

Avoid fighting enemies as possible and get the hell out as fast as you can.

The Simpsons Wrestling for PS1. Terrible

Live 07 PS2

NFL Tour PS3

The Simpsons Wrestling for PS1. Terrible

Sad thing about that game is that it isn;t even the worst Simpsons game out there. Simpsons Skateboarding is the second worst game I've ever played.

Haha yes I have heard how terrible it is!

Another hall of shame game... Lord Of The Rings: Two Towers PS2

[airBerlin]

I remember being so pumped for the sequel to WWF Warzone and feeling really disappointed after playing it for the first time. Looking back, it's not a terrible game per se but few of the talked about features made it to the final game and despite the expanded and updated roster, it didn't feel like much of an upgrade. Perhaps it's because I'd grown fond of the engine used in WCW/nWo Revenge that would later be used in THQ's Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy once they got the WWF license.

Heh, I remember when Attitude came out. I ran up to Blockbuster to rent it and they didn't have any copies in at the moment. I walked on the door and started to head back to the car and one of the employees ran out of the store and yelled. One of the customers was just returning a copy. Was pretty sick, really cool of the dude to do something like that.

Anyways, I used to love that game. I remember I was so hyped about it too. My cousin and I used to create so many wrestlers and just simulate matches between them. It was pretty fun. Remember how many wrestlers you could create back then? You could create like 10-15 wrestlers per profile/section and you were given like 10 sections or something. It was nuts.

[Andrew]

I haven't played them but I've heard those two Simpsons games were pretty disappointing.

Attitude was an alright game but I just remember feeling really disappointed when I got my hands on it. They had talked about an edit mode which didn't make the final game and wasn't as big an improvement on Warzone as I expected it to be. I think it was because I had come to really like what THQ/AKI were doing, which is why I was happy to hear they'd gotten the WWF license and really enjoyed Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy.

Youtube clip

Oh my god. That was the funniest clip I've seen in a long time. Halfway through the video, tears were streaming down my eyes.

[Donatello]

E.T. on Atari 2600. Awful, awful game.

The worst thing about it for me is, that when I had it when I was young... I didn't know it sucked so bad. So I played that piece of crap for hours on end, until I was "good" enough to actually beat it. I wonder how many people actually played that thing enough to see the end.


On the more recent side of things, "Summer Sports" for Wii is terrible. Nearly unplayable.

Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends

Worst strategy games Ive ever played

[joejam999]

Last summer I got really hyped about this game. Only to get another unfinished and buggy EA game. SP was ok though it was short and still no as good as MOHAA. But MP blew junks. It is a little better now that a few patches have came out but still I think more people still play Allied Assault then this.

That was the last time I ever pre-order an EA game.

[cyanide]

I rented this game when I was a kid, and it was the worst game I could ever remember.

That captain planet was just some liberal thing to try and brain wash kids.

[shadowgrin]

Captain Planet rules you fuckers.

[Oznogrd]

That captain planet was just some liberal thing to try and brain wash kids.

Is it so wrong to have a cartoon that preaches giving a shit about the way you treat other people and the planet? I dont think so.

[Donatello]

That captain planet was just some liberal thing to try and brain wash kids.

"Brainwashing" children into caring about the environment and being kind to eachother is NOT a bad thing, even if they did sell a few stickers and some action figures.

edit: DrGonzo beat me.... you weird bastard!
