What would you say is the worst game of all time. I say Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. To get an idea of how bad this game is, I'll list some actual review scores it got.

awards this game recieved-"worst game of the year"

Why is it worse than ET for the atari?
unlike ET:
this game is NOT historically significant. at least ET and that crappy Pacman port caused the video game crash of 1982.
this is not a complete game. It says that you are racing against the cops and the competition to deliver your load on time. Here are what's wrong with that:

1. There are NO cops. Zero. Zip.
2. You have NO load to deliver.
3. Your opponent does NOT move. It stays in place.

Have you seen the video review of that game? It's proper funny blad!

Any way as for the worst game of all time. I'd say 99% of all games on the Atari 2600 are equally horrible.

Superman 64 or Carmageddon 54 have to rank right up there.

How about Trolls on Adventure Island, then? I know that it was absolutely horrid.

Superman...64...

*gnaws on wrists*

ET on the Atari is up there too, but the fact that all the cartridges were all recalled, buried like pirate treasure en masse in the middle of the dessert and then cemented over and steamrolled scores it some points in my book.

You can find the burial ground under what is now a minimall.

Anything Armake21 reviews on Youtube. That guy is goddamn hilarious.

I've not played many dire games, but the worst was probably Assassin 2015, which I got as a freebie. Dire FPS thingy.

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is regarded as the Worst Game Ever by PC Gamer UK, so I'll bow to their superior experience.

Super Columbine Massacre RPG! is in my opinion the worst game ever.

Pokemon Snap... followed by anything Pokemon.

Is that the truck racing one? The one where there is no top speed, braking is immediate, bridges are not solid objects and you can go up any incline without slowing down?

Oh wait, computer games...

*ahem*

Batman Forever the game.

Super Columbine Massacre RPG! is in my opinion the worst game ever.

At least that one was supposed to have been fairly well done in the theme of what the creator thought was going through those two kids' minds.

I think custers revenge sounded pretty horrible.

Cho Aniki looked funny (though not good) from the review I read: Sexual moments in video game history: Cho Aniki (http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/sexual-games/10.php).

The worst one I played was... minesweeper. Horrible game. Promotes the use of naval mines!

HAR!!!!! :)

I don't think you can find the worst game of all time. You would have to play every single game, ever, and then objectively find the worst one.

Ideally, the worst game would be a cheap rip off, with shoddy controls, game breaking bugs, with annoying, repetitive, and just plain not fun gameplay.

And Batman Forever wasn't THAT bad. :)

Time Crisis 3 may be fun...

Dear God, it's the worst case of Japanese, "Lets mix Japanese style stuff with American army shoot-em-up and see what pops out."

If any of you guys have played the game, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I mean the two main characters, they're just so FABULOUS!! ;)

*ahem*

Batman Forever the game.

I have a comic with an ad for that.

Is that the truck racing one? The one where there is no top speed, braking is immediate, bridges are not solid objects and you can go up any incline without slowing down?

I thought it was only no top speed when you reverse. IMS you could end up going faster than the speed of light.

YES!!!!! There was a patch released, but all that did was make your opponent move. Still highly unusual physics. Still has the road materialize 10 feet in front of you. You still win, even if your opponent beat you to the finish line. It's nothing more than the worst beta version released as a game. Good came from ET in the form of the NES. Nothing good came from Big Rigs, except maybe for being the inspiration for some hilarious awards and the hilariously awful "you're winner" message.

Sorry it was Batman Beyond the game.

Maybe that's why your opponent never moves and you're able to do all sorts of other crazy crap...you're going so fast that relativity comes into effect.

...

No, wait, that doesn't make sense...

That game would be worth it if we get an meme to the same scale of AYBABTU.

Tachyon Big Rigs?

Tachyon Big Rigs?

Please, no. The last thing I need to imagine is my fat-ass child molesting older half-brother going back in time and screwing with history.

Or becoming naught but particles.

:D

My mum absolutely loved that blasted ET game for the Atari. My brother and I would try to get her to stop playing so we could play something else, give up after about 10 minutes, and go play outside...

Please, no. The last thing I need to imagine is my fat-ass child molesting older half-brother going back in time and screwing with history.

Think about this: If you become a (hypothesised) tachyon you still can't break causality (or something like that). That or a whole bunch of anti-string theory physicists beat you to death before you (in this case he) tried to.

The Frank herberts Dune game was pretty bad, not the strategy one, the fully 3d 3rd person game.

Probably the worst game i have ever played however would have to be that gay arcade machine set in egypt, where you have a staff to shoot enemys with? the problem is the aiming reticle is off

What can't you love about a game when you have pictures like this?

...

Err...wait. What does causality have to do with time travel?

...or am I confusing myself? I would be far more worried about him disrupting what I perceive to be the present and potentially eliminating my existance. Though I suppose that depends on whether you subscribe to the theory that going back in time and changing what is the past from your perspective is possible or not...I see no reason why it wouldn't be.

Well using the best bet for time travel (string theory) it is currently possible to go back in time but not mess with causality (no eliminating your existance).

I find it a bit confusing as well. I personally prefer a universe with no time travel but I won't hold it against people who have a working model (though I'd prefer it not to be used if it were created).

Right, right, of course; I was a bit mixed up due to somehow thinking about time travel being used to eliminate causality entirely. I don't see how they could eliminate their own existance anyway. I'm a huge fan of Back to the Future but I always thought that plot element was, at best, ridiculous.

I thought travelling at 88 mph being enough to back in time (of course with a funky time doo-hicky) was pretty silly.

I think we are getting a litte http://i15.tinypic.com/4m0156h.gif off topic...

I thought travelling at 88 mph being enough to back in time (of course with a funky time doo-hicky) was pretty silly.

Well, let's check the facts. We know judging by the special effects that the time machine either opens a portal of some sort in front of it, or that flash of light is a sudden extreme burst of energy pushing it past the speed of light. Since the second is ridiculous, we'll go with the first.

One of my early ideas was that the 88 MPH bit was a safety feature programmed into the time machine by Doc to keep it from just activating at random, but obviously that isn't true given how much he kept harping on about 88 MPH in both the 1st and 3rd films.

So, it's possible that the time machine simply needs a large amount of momentum in order to activate whatever processes occur in the flux capacitor--it probably stores a burst of energy then...fluxes it?--and 88 MPH just happens to coincide with more or less that amount of momentum. It might not be exact...we have seen the time machine stay at 88 MPH for a few seconds before passing through time at least once, while at other times it goes immediately. This of course could simply be artistic effect...

...

Oh who am I kidding? The whole time vehicle thing of Doc's was ridiculous. :(

But Doc was a fun guy, as was Marty, and every other character.

And no we're not off topic...the Back to the Future games were absolutely horrid. :D

ps1 game called D

Btw, nice long explanation for writers' deficiencies in making an good background plot continuity & structure ;) .

Yes. Either NES or SNES. Basically like any other movie game adaptation...cruddy, poorly made, and unfun to play.

I used to be a huge member of the Versus debate. I'm used to this kind of inventive thinking. (And by versus debate, I meant Star Trek vs Star Wars. If you can't tell, I'm on the side of Trek.)

And you should take a look at some of the older ideas they had for the movie...if I remember correctly from the first draft of their script, the time machine was a refridgerator and used a laser or something similiar...and Doc was a Professor, with a chimpanzee instead of a dog.

Oh, and right up till the final draft Marty always used an atomic bomb test to return to the future. That proved too costly to film, though it might be more realistic than trying to catch a lightning bolt, especially since a lightning bolt is not exactly a standardized transmission of power...

Especially when said bolt didn't even burn Doc's hands...:confused:

I choose.... Babylon 5! Or ST : DS9 (after they got out of the stolen babylon 5 parts).

Don't tell anyone, but he disovered a way to turn himself into cartoon and didn't want McFly to know. So he faked the shock.

*Watches 'Who framed Roger Rabbit'*

The worst game of all time? "The Bouncer" for the Playstation 2.

I spent $30 and bought something I beat in less than 30 minutes. That makes it worse than any other game I've ever played.

Time continues to repeat itself *looks at movie games*

Eh, I suppose.

I couldn't stand to watch Babylon 5 due to the horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE acting.

Nowadays I prefer Stargate, though I still think Star Trek is superior to Star Wars by a huge mile.

Robert Zemeckis sure can write comedy, eh? I was suprised as hell when I rewatched it for the first time to find out that Judge what's-his-face was Christopher Lloyd. Took me a bit to figure it out because he kept hiding his face.

Parts of the movie made me sick, though, like when he killed that cartoon shoe. The toons are obviously sentient beings and deserve full rights, including the right to live and not have that life taken by anyone! :(

Survivor: The Interactive game.

D?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(video_game)

no save , no pause and you get little time to solve puzzles and move about

Eh, I suppose.

I'll admit that, for the most part, it is a lot better than it was in the heady catridge days

I couldn't stand to watch Babylon 5 due to the horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE acting.

I liked the backstory more. It was the same when I played Morrowind; got bored with the gameplay but like all the backhistory in it. That and casting spells to make myself jump around a lot. Metagaming!

Nowadays I prefer Stargate, though I still think Star Trek is superior to Star Wars by a huge mile.

I like Stargate until they got to Ori. Then it got silly/ier.

At least they managed to get those kinds of things shown with the correct level of emotion to make it seem like a person.

The original isn't that great nowadays but apart from that it's a good series. Even if you hate it it's far from "Worse game ever".

And if you want to see drunk (well they're like that while sober too) game critics playing and mocking bad games. Go to Gamevideos (http://ut2004stats.epicgames.com/playerstats.php?player=1704052) and search for "Broken Pixels".

Chronicles of the Sword.

"Lady Morgana, Arthur's evil sister, plots to reveal Lancelot and Guinevere's affair to the world, thus overthrowing Arthur. Gawaine discovers her plan and warns the King, and Morgana is banished. Not pleased, she attempts to kill Arthur, prompting the king sends Gawaine off to take care of Morgana once and for all. The knight then ventures into the forest to ferret out various objects to give himself magical protection before he can finally confront the witch in her castle in Lyonesse. There, he must also find a way to destroy the vampire Ragnar, Morgana's lover and personal guardian."
