Exactly what it says on the title. Here's my picks:

Now Pit-Fighter is a guilty pleasure of mine on the Mega Drive alongside the Arcade version, but the SNES version just sucked. Shame the SMS got an awful version of Strider from (cough) Tiertex cause the console could do Ghouls 'n' Ghosts pretty well. Batman Forever had potential, but take some of the worst controls I've ever seen alongside awful graphics on the GG version (I know the GG could never do the 16 bit consoles justice but come on.) and it's a crockpot of shit waiting to happen. Various Emotion is probably one of the worst fighters I've played overall, just being edged out by Pit-Fighter SNES as THE worst. It's a shame cause I love SM and Angel made the actually half decent SMR Game Boy game, so WHY did they have to fuck this one up?
 
I've not played a lot of bad games in general (except Bioshock Infinite but thats irrelevant), certainly not older ones, but if I was to pick one out then it'd have to be Castlevania: The Adventure.

I can forgive a game being clunky or any of that stuff and I think a lot of modern gamers are a bit spoiled in how little roughness they're able to put up with, but I really think this game sucks.
It's exceptionally dull, it's ugly and none of the areas look any good. Of course it's a Gameboy game, so there is a lot of restrictions on what they could do, but the old pokemon games are fun and they were on that same handheld.
Not only that, the game just doesn't really feel good to play either, going from Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, a very overhated game in my opinion to this was such a drop in playability and fun that if it wasn't like 2 hours long I would've dropped it.
Thankfully the sequel, Belmont's Revenge is actually genuinely really good and fun.
