If not, I'll say Raid 2020 or even Action 52 for NES, even though I paid for both 'cuz I like to collect shitty unlicensed NES games... and I've actually spent a lot of time with both... I guess I have a problem. The worst licensed game I've ever played.... oh man, too many. First one that comes to mind is Resident Evil. It gets my worst dialogue award. "You are a master locksmith, so here is a lockpick in case you find any locked doors. Look, a door, hm, it's locked, if only you had a lockpick which I just handed you and talked about for 5 minutes." That dialogue actually made me stupider. I couldn't finish the game after that. I was too stupid. Has anybody played Hydlide for the NES? Imagine Dragon Warrior 1, but to fight a slime you just walk into it, and instead of doing damage you die. Most of the worst games of all time are all still for sale at the same web site though: http://www.wisdomtreegames.com/ man those games sound FANTASTIC. I mean, I know about psychological warfare, but spiritual warfare? Now that must be new and advanced evil. I've read reviews of Wisdom Tree games that say Spiritual Warfare is the only good one because it's apparently a blatant Zelda 1 clone.  I still thought it sucked though.  I'm more of a Bible Adventures man myself, 'cuz at least it's a blatant SMB2 clone.  Oh yeah, with ass for controls.

 

If you've never seen the youtube clip of Bible Adventures, you should check it out - hilarious.  It definitely looks like the worst game ever, though I've never played it myself.

 

Words Of Wisdom said: Dejackso said: Interesting. I find Final Fantasy X to be excellent and it is one of my top 10 games of all times. I love the fact that the story isn't standard fantasy and I find the Sphere Grid to be unique and fun. To each their own, I guess. Worst game (that I bought at least) has to be the SNES version of Rocketeer. To each their own about Final Fantasy X. I'll second that Rocketeer was a bad game.  I got it for the SNES as my "third" game and returned it within one day (back when you could return opened games...) and got Gradius III instead (which became my real third game).  As bad as Rocketeer was, Gradius III was awesome.

My story is a much more woeful affair. I purchased it as my first SNES game while I was living on a military base in Germany (I guess I was about 10 or so?). I had saved up a bunch of money so that I could own a game for my new system and so I purchased the Rocketeer. I hated it instantly, but I don't think we were allowed to return games at the BX. I managed to scrounge some money together to get a game that was actually good. My next purchase...Pitfighter for the SNES (also horrible). I almost quit buying SNES games at that point.

Ouch, that's unfortunate. 

It's strange though.  I look at my SNES game collection and despite having almost 50 games, I can safely say that I like them all.  I judged games by the box art back then so by all rights I should have a lot more lemons in terms of games than I do.  Rocketeer is actually one of the maybe two games that I didn't enjoy playing.  It really is strange how that works.

I can't believe no one has mentioned ET for the Atari. Has any other game even been as responsible for the downfall of it's console as this game was. (and yes, I did play that pos)

hahaha, i almost bought that game because it was on sale and I thought my 4/5 year olds would think it was fun. I'm glad I didn't.

I've heard of a spelling bee game on the DS that actually displays the word you have to spell in text instead of using audio, and then asks you to spell it. I think it got a zero. ;>

I spent six hours there playing Big Rigs. Such an awesome game.

Yes, I played it also.  It is by FAR the worst of all time.  The story about the cartridges filling landfills is true BTW.

Here is a good list.
