For me, uh... I don't know. I mean, I really think most games suck, but I never have expectations, so I'm never particularly let down. In all seriousness, I have to go with a NES game called Color a Dinosaur. It came out AFTER Mario Paint came out on the SNES. It lets you color 16 dinosaurs. Sixteen. That's it. You can't even draw your own dinosaur. It might be the biggest step backwards ever made in a single game.
Here is a link to a Java version: http://www.nintendo8.com/game/9/color_a_dinosaur/
Another reason why it is the worst game for me is because it helped start the game-music-composing career of Tommy Tallarico. The music is fucking horrible and repetitive, and he actually blames the limitations of the NES hardware, as if all NES music was poor and limited. This game was made in 1993, 8 years after Super Mario Bros, but the music sounds like it was at least one generation earlier. And now Tommy Tallarico hosts his dumb concert (playing right down the street tomorrow night but I can't afford to go!) where they play the Super Mario Bros. music from 1985, but somehow ignore his own Tallarico-Jams from 1993. Limitations of hardware my ass.

No way!!! Are you serious? If it's still bothering you, they remade it for DS so you can finally figure it out and have some closure with it.
I loved it and played it for a really long time. I will gladly answer any questions you have. Basically, you're G-d, and you can morph the terrain as you see fit, mostly to flatten it out so the tribe that worships you can build their village and prosper. Then you tell your tribe to fight the opposing village, which has its own G-d working for it. You can also try to mess with their terrain to get in the way of their building, and slow them down. You do this on several stages in several worlds.
It was even one of the main influences for one of the phases in Spore.

I don't think this thread will hit the 2nd page without someone saying FFVII, which will invitably lead to someone saying "not it's not, it's the BEST EVAH", and this thread will turn into a "which FF is best" thread before you know it.
The worst game I've ever gaved a damn about was Shaq-Fu. Even Clay Fighters was better than that shit. At least CF had a sense of humor. |
A couple years ago, a friend and I came across 2 copies of Shaq Fu. $2 each. We didn't even say a word, but immediately bought both copies, went back to my house, and played it all night long, and had the time of our lives. That game ages like a fine wine. I had much more fun with ClayFighter when they were both new (1994), and the theme song is still in my head, but ClayFighter didn't age the same way. ClayFighter got worse and Shaq Fu got better. I dare you to revisit both games. You will have more fun with Shaq Fu.
The reason is that ClayFighter tried to be intentionally campy, so the jokes quickly wore off. Shaq Fu didn't mean to be so campy, so the sad unintentional joke just gets better and better. It's like the worst action movie ever, and I love it.
But also, did you really have any expectations for Shaq Fu at the time? Why did you "give a damn" about it? I've never understood why people were so disappointed with a basketball player's 2-D fighting game, which was released when both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat were in their prime. I will have no more Shaq Fu bashing in this thread.
