Following my response to a the F1 game for the 360 thread, the name Psygnosis came up (a games developer from the past) and with it reminded me of a game. Since Wiki-ing the game, it was linked to a web page 50 Worst Video Games Ever (link takes you to the top 10).

The comments of the writers give the list a dose of humour, so it' worth a quick browse.

Maybe we could come up with our own list of 50 games? I'll edit here the ones you come up with.

(Although currently, my favourite title so far is "If It Moves, Shoot It")

Our List So Far Not from the 50 picked via the link

Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland

Super Skidmarks

Terrordaktil 4D

SHEERLUCK HOLMES AND DR. WITSEND

Smudge and the Moonies

Stanley and the Wallbangers

Thingy and the Doodahs

Metagalactic Llamas

Sex Olympics

Zak McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders

Big Mutha Truckers

Big Mutha Truckers 2: Truck Me Harder

Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2: Gas Pump Girls Meet the Pulsating

Inconvenience from Planet X

Seaman


(Maybe a vote at the end?)

Wasn't 'Jumpman' the original title/name for Mario?

Anyway, Iggy's Reckin Balls was an ace game, little racing heads from what I remember.

That game freaks me beyond belief!

I used to even hate touching the game box when putting it on the shelves, back in the days I worked for Game. Something odd about a game that has a 30-someting pixie, wearing some sort of green-latex catsuit going around collecting things as well as being aimed at th 12-16 age group. Even has a PEGI warning the game has a sexual orientation to it.

Still think it freaks out the Game staff there now :S
