I've played some serious shit in my life, and based just on personal bias and just how devastatingly disappointing I was in it, I'm sorely tempted to say Star Fox: Assault. That game was a depressing, insulting slap in the face for a guy who loves the shit out of SF64 and was SO hyped for what I hoped was going to be a genuine, quality sequel. It's like expecting a fancy steak, and instead getting a half-eaten AM/PM burger.
BUT, sadly, while I hate the fuck out of that game and it deserves such a label, it is not in fact the worst game I've ever played. Something like Action 52 could certainly count, but on the other hand it really doesn't count, because nothing on that cart was enough of a full GAME to be considered shitty. So.....I would honestly have to say that while there are many strong contenders (Superman 64, etc.), I'm going to have to go with Defenders of Dynatron City on NES. Even as a kid, a kid who was far more patient with games and managed to see silver linings and glean enjoyment from most games I rented, even if they weren't very good, even with THAT childhood mindset, when I rented DoDC, I only managed to play it for about an hour before I had to admit to myself that the game was a practically unplayable, steaming pile of trash, and turned it off, never to touch it again.
