Ten Worst Games of All Times[Video Games]

[Eagle of Liberty]

Oh, come on now. No NHL 93 by EA? That was a great game.

Not a hockey fan! :)

It's lame by today's standards, but I used to love Yar's Revenge.

Man, I played that game for HOURS! I got really good at hitting that damn flying thing.

Pac-man Atari 2600 was terrible. I played it maybe a couple of teams and never again.

I wore out two controllers over the years, and rolled the counter on Missile Command, an awesome port. Asteroids and Space invaders on the 2600 were also both great.

[Dominic Harr]

you and I have very similar tastes in games. :-)

Starcraft and Civ 3, Mario and Street Fighter.

I honestly think Starcraft might be the best game ever.

[BenLurkin]

I wasted a lot of quarters on Phoenix and Missile Command.

[finnman69]

Tempest was an awesome game. Unique.

Where's Black and White? The whole "UI-less" thing sure sounded good in interviews with the designer but when it came time to cast a spell by making an inwardly spiraling square with your cursor instead of the spell that needed an inwardly spiraling circle the idea proved to be downright idiotic. The only really cool part about Black and White was leaving it to run on its own all day then seeing what your monkey had taught itself to do. You know when the best thing to do with a game is to not actually play it you've made a truly terrible game.

you have to include Half-Life 1 on your best list

[Rastus]

That's Adventure. It's a total classic. It may be bad by today's standards, but it really laid the foundation for the genre.

[Echo Talon]

My neighbor(one of my best buddies) loved that game, he had it for atari 2600

Missle Command

[Echo Talon]

I agree!

[discostu]

Galaga is still my all time favorite coin op, the best Space Invaders clone ever.

[socal_parrot]

Atari's Superman was bad and boring...

[Echo Talon]

very good for its time. :)

[edpc]

Yes...Adventure.....thanks for the correction. I just remembered the dragons and the square cut out in their stomachs that was the perfect fit for your character.

Adventure and Haunted House just weren't my cup of tea.

[Echo Talon]

YES adventure was AWFUL!!!

Castle Wolfenstein and The Ultima series for Comodore64 and Atari(computers) were very good.

[Leto]

I loved Missle Command. I moved to it after Space Invaders and Asteroids.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

All of metal of honor games : PC and Metal Gear: PC , Syphon Filter: PC , Sim City: NE and PC.

Pac Man was not a very good port; far petter ports of Pac Man exist for the 2600, though because of licensing none can be sold (the code can be downloaded and burned into an EPROM, however).

E.T. required reading the manual. If one read the manual, it was a decent game. Not great, but hardly among the worst ten. I can easily come up with ten games worse than E.T.

1. Skeet Shoot (Games by Apollo)
2. Karate (by Froggo or Ultravision)
3. Condor Attack (Ultravision)
4. Fire Fly (Mythicon)
5. Sorceror (Mythicon)
6. Sssnake (Data age)
7. Journey Escape (Data Age)
8. Basic Math (Atari)
9. Flag Capture (Atari)
10. Slot Machine (Atari)

Compared with any of those, E.T. or even Pac Man is a work of pure genius.

As for Smurf: RIGC, it's a kid's game. There's not a whole lot there, but it's better than many other games of that style (common overseas; less common here) such as "Bobby Geht Nach Haus" (Bobby Goes Home).
