Bad games that became iconic (in a good way)

[Lokgamer]

Sometimes a bad game becomes iconic despite its flaws. Maybe because of nostalgia or because there is something good about it.

For example I think pepsiman fits here; many people recognice it even though is a pretty bad game, probably cause it's funny, hard or just nostalgic. What other example do you have?

I need Pepsiman remake btw

Postal 2, enough said.

 

[bigstinkie]

my hearty fellow i disagree pounds gavel
i remember postal 2 being a neat game and not designed poorly
i suppose that was a long time ago, why did you think it was a bad game michael frank? i yearn for your knowledge to enter my mind

Daikatana with the unofficial fan patch makes it a pretty decent game

Ngl, it's quite a fun experience. But not enough to make up for what Romero promised.

I need to play it. Saw some out of context clips which looks like a entertaining train-wreck to experience.

I think im gonna play it. Just for the pseudo-Dragonball cutscene i saw last time .

If we are talking about bad games that are actually awesome and speaking of David Cage sloparama :

And tbh , its actually awesome . Even underrated . And David Bowie !

I think Twobestfriends ruined this games reputation . It doesnt look incompetenly made and the concept overall is still wild to this day but it has its glaring flaws which makes this game rough to play .

AND DAVID FUCKING BOWIE !!!!!

You need look no further than the Zelda CD-i games. Heck, they (in addition to Hotel Mario) served as the inspiration for Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore—So much so that they even got the voices of Link and Zelda from the CD-i games (I'm dead serious lol).
