I'm starting a series on amusingly bad video games.

PROTOTYPE EPISODE (The series will hopefully be less awkwardly written, funnier, and more polished.)

Hello! I haven't posted anything here in a while, but I figured that since this is a fairly large community of various people from various places, you'd help assist me in making a possible video series about amusingly bad video games. 

It's entitled "Video Game: Best of theb Est" (deliberate misspelling), and will be filled with snarky remarks, visual gags, and the occasional actual critique. I'm not trying to go for the cliche "angry reviewer" type, rather a slightly "smarter" route (though there will still be lots of comedic negativity towards the games shown).

I'm not looking for games that are straight up BAD (or rather, unfun and boring). I'm looking for games that are BAD, but are amusing to watch/play (weird bugs, comically bad graphics/gameplay/music, etc).

I have yet to compile a definite list of games that I want to cover, but there are a few I have in mind. Each "episode" will have around 2-3 games in each (unless the game is long enough for a full video). 

This is where YOU come in.

Did you get gypped with a particularly bad game back in the day? Are you a connoisseur of crap like me? Are you just bored and need something to do? Well, then you're in luck. I'm looking for viewer suggestions for games to be featured on the show. However, there are some guidelines that need to be followed when sending in ideas:

- If it's been covered to death by various internet reviewers (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Superman 64, etc), then it probably won't appear in the series anywhere. I'm looking for slightly more obscure stuff, which leads into the next guideline...

Stuff that's encouraged:

- Games for computers that were popular in Europe and the like (ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari's 8-bit computers and the ST, etc). 

- Well-loved consoles that don't show up on retro gaming review shows all that much (The PS1, the Gamecube, most of SEGA's consoles aside from the Genesis)

- PC games from around the MS-DOS to the Windows 2000 era.

- Arcade games

(Hell, if there's something delightfully terrible on something as exotic as the FM Towns Marty, I'll probably check it out.)

Stuff that's discouraged:

- Games that have been done to death by various online reviewers (Superman 64, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, etc). Same thing for consoles (the NES, the SNES, the Genesis particularly, unless it's a game that truly hasn't been mentioned all that much)

- Bootleg games (Seeing as they're slowly becoming more mainstream, the subject is growing less and less interesting as everyone has probably seen them at one point or another)


- Mainstream modern games that aren't really anything interesting to talk about (Call of Duty, sports games, etc).

- Game modifications (Doom, Half-Life 2, etc)

- Joke games (Sunky, Revenge of the Sunfish, etc)



I hope to see some good suggestions for the series. I've always wanted to do something like this, but I've never really had any solid ideas for it until now. I hope I can make an entertaining and amusing series for all to enjoy.

so you're making a series where you review terrible video games. on youtube.
but you don't have a mic...
alright? The issue here is that its not interesting. theres barely any reaction. its just you typing out your thoughts and putting them over the gameplay.
But hey good luck man.
