Forums - Gaming - The first game YOU realised sucked?

As a kid, you don't know much about the world.

One of the things you don't really think about is what is the difference between a great game and a bad game. More so, you would be hard pressed to find a kid that can actually show you a truly terrible game (seeing as how most of them are themed on what kid's like).

Me for instance, loved many many truly crappy games in my life. I loved the simpsons wrestling for one. I loved a text based Dragon Ball Z game in a language I couldn't understand that showed no animations and were just screen shots of the characters faces that shook as they took damage or gave damage, got to love seedy 100-in-1 cartridges from asia for the original gameboy.

 

Question is, what was the first game that you realised was crap? I'm not talking about movie games you've never played before, which game ended your childhood and made you realise that not all games are created equal?

For me, that was Bubsy 3D. Horrible horrible game, as a 7 year old, even I could see the piece of dung that was that CD. Horrendous 3D graphics, terrible voice acting and horrendous controls. It was the first game I remember not enjoying.

I'm not too sure about the first game that i realised sucked but there have been a hell of a lot recently, Enchanted Arms for one... That game was just awful, and also Lost Planet...



I don't know that I've ever actually played a game that I thought jsut outright sucked - if I did, I didn't bother to remember it.

My least pleasant experience with a video game was probably... hm. Anybody remember the mascot from the Summer Olympics a while back, an anthropomorphic Olympic torch? He had his own sidescrolling video game.

It was not great.



Ouch I remember the original Bubsy on genesis that was great times. I guess for me it'd be...so I decided I would look over my genesis and nes collection. The only game I remember to suck is anticipation....I don't even remember it probably because it was so bad it'd be the only game I never play.

You just reminded me of War Gods.

For shame.



Wrestle Mania on the NES.

I am sure that was the first game I played and thought: "Wow, this sucks."

 Waaaarr Godssss!

I always used to play as Sci-Five, or whatever his name was. The cyborg robot god thing. 

Why is there no cyborg robot gods in God of War? Eh??

Indiana Jones for the Atari 2600. My cousin had given me all of her 2600 games and most of them were good. After a while, my brother and I wanted something new. In the mall, we saw the Indiana Jones game at Kaybee Toys. We begged our mom to buy it, she did and boy did we regret. That game sucked hard.



ET.... ugh



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?
