Ahh! Something we haven't done before!

Whats the worst game you ever brought? What system was it on? Why was it so rubbish?

I'll start, as I started the topic, I suppose.

The worst game I ever brought has to be... Men In Black on the PC.

Arggghhhhhh! Why oh why oh why did I buy this? The gameplay is disgusting, the graphics are medicore. The sound... don't get me started on the sound.

Overall, a absolute pathetic game that has tarnished the film, only released as a movie tie in, this is the worst game I ever brought.

My brother bought Ultraman on the SNES and that was rubbish. You could only control Ultraman, and he only had a couple of moves. It was one of the worst fighting games I've ever played. I took it back to a shop after the weekend (having completed it) and part exchanged it for Donkey Kong Country.
Custer's Revenge on the Atari 2600 is pretty bad too....

Don't mean to be pedantic, but what's it called?

The worst game I have....hmmmmmmmmm, I know.

It was a game one of my friends copied for me. It was made in '96, and so the graphics aren't that good, and it's really easy to complete (I can now do it in about 20 mins) but it's so fun to play when I've got some time to spare. So the game itsn't brilliant, but it's good for a laugh.

Strange that....I don't have any games that I've regreted buying, I guess that I've read all the reviews of the game before I buy.

Well, the worst game I know of is 4-4-2 soccer on PSX. The graphics are so bad that you see one half of the goal one bit of the screen, and the other half is about 3cm to the left!!! The players are so small and undetailed they look like stick men. Enough about that, as I haven't bought it. The worst I ever bought is either ACES Collectors Edition on PC, or MDK on PSX. ACES has really bad graphics and you have to wait 10 minutes for the first baddie to show up, and then he kills you staright away. The controls are really slow to respond as well. MDK, poor graphics, poor controls and I found it very repetitive.

Something that's so bad it's funny, is ISS64. Not the game, but the commentary.

Play as Wales through one game, and try not to laugh.

In 1985 Firebird Software published a compilation called DON'T BUY THIS featuring six of the worst games you have ever seen for the Spectrum. The compilation made it into the charts despite the really awful games, including Fido, a game of making a dog sit down and stand up. But the worst game I have ever seen involved horse-jumping (on the Spectrum) and moved in three second blips. All you could see on the screen were the horse's ears and the occassion fence rail looming up so that you knew when to press fire. I think it was imaginatively named "Horse Jumping".

The worst game I ever bought? Oh dear, there have been so many!
On the megadrive it was probably Ballz, the 'first' 3d fighting game that wasn't quite 3d and was about as much fun as a political party broadcast. Then there was Doctor Who on the PC, what a let down, it was like doom without the scary bits, even the Daleks were laughable.
Recently I have been unlucky enough to play Mortal Kombat Gold on the dreamcast. Just as I thought games couldn't get any worse, this one came along and showed me just how low the depths of gaming can get.
Oh boy!
