Here's a thread I decided to make after watching a few episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Here, you list what you think are the 10 worst video games in gaming history and why you think so. It can be any system, any generation. Here's my Top 10:
10. Kinnikuman: Dirty Challenger. The controls are broken. You take forever to break out of a submission hold, while it doesn't even take the computer one second to break free.
9. Kamen Rider Club: Some games are good with super-deformed characters. Kamen Rider Club isn't one of them. Your head gets smashed if you hit it on a ceiling, the battle system is pathetic, and the game is sadistically hard.
8. Guardians of the 'Hood: Trying to mix Pit-Fighter with Final Fight? Bad idea! The game is slow, and bosses can drain your health like nothing, while you slowly chip away at their health like water on a rock.
7. Mortal Kombat Advance: Sometimes, it' just better to not port a successful fighter to a handheld system. The game seems perpetually stuck on the hardest difficulty system no matter what difficulty you set it to, you can't seem to use any specials, and the "victory" post-match sequence is painfully slow.
6. Back to the Future trilogy for NES: Actually two games, 2&3 were fitted on the same cartridge. But neither of the games had anything to do with their respective movies. But, they were made by LJN; what else can you expect?
5. Mario Is Missing!: Educational games are NOT fun, not even if it's given a Mario theme! The game is slow paced, and one is usually left wandering the streets looking for Koopas to stomp so they can get some landmark and continue on. The only good thing is that the internet got a meme out of the PC version. I'm sure you know who that is.
4. Sword of Sodan (Genesis version): This is a shitty port of a good Amiga game. Sure, there was more gore than you could shake a spinal column at, but the controls were bad, the sound was horrible even by Genesis standards, and the animation was an eyesore; I've seen much better animation on the Genesis!
3. The Smurfs: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle: Atari 2600 game about a random Smurf who has to save Smurfette from Gargamel. Okay, I know it's an Atari game, but still, it sucks! You die if you simply graze the side of a jump! And the Atari Smurfs theme kinda gets on one's nerves after a while.
2. Superman 64: I'm sure you saw this coming. The controls are broken, and all I saw of the game before snapping and deciding to shoot it up with my shotgun was making Superman fly through rings, and having him carry and throw cars. I never saw anything else!
1. Deadly Towers: Yep. A headache-inducing eyesore of a game. The character looks nothing like he does on the cover, he moves about twice as fast as a snail, and he THROWS HIS SWORD AS AN ATTACK! Deadly Towers sucks!
