Why do some games just plain reek?
They don’t get reviewed, they just appear on the shelves, without warning and you think “Why not?” and get it.
What are the games that are inexcusable? I know I hate Lylat Wars like The Joker hates Batman, but at least it had decent graphics and some nice effects (if only for 43 minutes).
But there are others…others that look like they play-tested them on really stupid pets before releasing them.
For me, the PS1 had “K1 Arena Fighters”.
Looked ok, reminded me of Panzer Kick-Boxing on the Amiga so I bought it.
Played it twice and then buried it in the garden. Imagine that you designed a really poor Way of The Exploding Fist for a Vic 20 and then charged people £29.99 to buy it.
What an awful, awful game.
Little squat men with basic motor-skill impairment trying to hit each other. It was embarrassing to watch.
Imagine walking into a pub car-park and seeing two old men fighting, but really slowly and pathetically. Rolling around on the floor and flailing like Tuna on a Chinese trawler deck.
And you may begin to approach the pure stench of K1 Arena Fighters.
There are many others, but for me K1 takes the biscuit.

A few games spring to mind...General Election (why?), Big Brother 1 & 2, basically any Monte Cristo game and Paintball Heroes.
Oh the humanity...

For me it was south park for the n64, that game was pure crap.
