What would you declare as "The Worst Game" on any given platform?

[Bakuma1997]

I know about worst tripe in 64, but i was thinking about those that i actually played

 

[Cu-Neo]

Yaris (2007) for the xbox 360. It's basically Toyota free shovelware to get You buy theirs cars. Because of course the Yaris have an metal claw on the ceiling

 

[Bonkers225]

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue on the n64 may be worse than Superman...

 

[Otosou]

NES - 'Action 52' is my choice also, especially "games" in it like 'MYONG' and 'LOLLIPOP'... Shudders.

It's a soulless advert, but it functioned as a game mostly, there has got to be worse trash then that.

Just threw up in my mouth a little.

Playstation: Cosmic Race.
Playstation 2: Chaos Wars.

Contra Legacy Wars on PSX I remember being dog water. Also that Gollum game that dropped last year is so incompetently made that they even forgot to add in sound effects when he dies!

 

[SkunkyBeaumont]

I had Legacy of War, and boy that game did suck. I remember it being borderline unplayable. It might not have sucked as much with a different name

I feel that Sonic 2006 may be worse than that.

 

[SkunkyBeaumont]

I concur, based on Vice-Principles.

Honestly, Sonic '06's crime is that Sonic Team didn't put their foot down on Sega's corporate meddling when they pushed too hard to have the game rushed out for the holiday season

 

[Ikagura]

People are being rude towards Atari ET but mostly because of the context and not the game itself.

I think that this strawberry shortcake game on the same hardware is a bigger fraud as a "video game" than ET that at least tried to be somewhat a game.

I'd argue that even if it got delayed for 2007 it would still have many issues (especially regarding other characters, the story and overall tone of the game).

And I cannot ever accept this infamous scene:

I'm not sure on all systems, but the worst game on SNES is unquestionably Pit Fighter. Absolutely head and shoulders above anything else. Just wretched lol

 

[SkunkyBeaumont]

I would rather do a full playthrough of Captian Novalin then play another second of Pitfighter (shitfighter is more like it, amirite).

lol it's literally one of the worst games I've ever played in my long life. I get mad just thinking about it

I'm still mad from when I fucking bought it after playing the Genesys/MegaDrive version back in the early 90s.

SQIJ! for the ZX Spectrum

 

[TheGamesArchivist]

While not the "Worst", a definite downgrade I can name easily is Altered Beast. Like, yeah, in terms of gameplay, not much is too noticeably different from the Gen/MD version and the original Arcade release, but HOOO BOY, those voice samples were bitcrushed to hell and back.

Did you know that Altered Beast also had a Famicom release? Wouldn't it have been wild if we got it on the NES as well?

 

[ATenderLad]

The answers gonna have to be some of the "barely a game" stuff on the 2600. Ignoring the edutainment material there's games like Sneak n Peek, where you have about a dozen spots to hide in a sparse house, and the other player needs to cover their eyes until it's their turn to find you. Added bonus, a squeaky chiptune rendition of Home! Sweet Home! plays the entire time.

I have great memories of playing the Genesis/Megadrive Altered Beast at a friend's house (the only Family I knew who owned a Sega Master System in person) and while not optimal, The Famicom One was alright, not award winning that's for sure, but at least it's not Bad Street Brawler

N64: Superman 64

 

[roji]

For Game Boy Advance I would definitely say Mega Man Zero, this game was a torture for me, I tried to beat it many times but no, this game has an unbearable difficulty (for me), this game is the most “worst” game for me.

Playstation 2 and Playstation Portable.
Little Britain: The Videogame

There is also some other super uber duper garbage, like The Sniper 2, but this one IMHO takes the cake.
Looks ugly, plays ugly, everything about it is a mistake.
