The worst games you own, and why you still have them

[Disengage]

Genesis: Shaq-Fu. You need to own this game if you're a collector. Other than that, maybe NBA Action '95 because it came with a complete copy of NHL '94 on eBay.

Nintendo 64: Olympic Hockey Nagano '98. Because if the words NHL or Hockey are on something, I'll buy it. It's Wayne Gretzky 3-D Hockey '98 but the Olympic teams and crappy. It has a wrong flag for Belarus and plays the Soviet anthem instead of their real anthem.

PS2: Corvette. It was $10 at release.

Xbox 360: Tron. I'm a sucker for this game even though I know it's bad.

I remember when the Shaq Fu board on GameFaqs was almost like 4Chan's /b/ in terms of chaos.

[Kollision]

The smelliest turd in my collection is definitely X-Men for the NES. I have it because I buy every single X-Men game I can put may hands on.

The biggest Genesis disappointment in my collection is Galaxy Force II. I have it because my aim is to get every single shmup ever released for the consoles I own.

The worst game I ever had was Cybermorph, I got it with a Jaguar package years ago. I finally sold the package a few months ago, good riddance.

My current worst game is Cosmic Carnage. I picked it up when Blockbuster was clearing out their 32x stuff for 3 bucks. I loved fighters, and I jumped at the chance to get a 32x game since Blockbuster was the only place in town that even rented them, much less sold them.

I got it home, and my parents weren't at home so I hooked the 32x up to their 50 inch TV, ready for GLORY.

I want my 3 bucks back. The only reason I still have it is because there are so few 32x games, and occasionally I pull the cart out to mock it.

"Batman Returns" for SNES. This game isn't that great. I had high expectations considering it is Konami and "Turtles in Time" is the best ever. Limited moves kill all the potential this game could have had. Why do I still have it? Been too lazy to get rid of it.

"Futurama" for XBOX - I spend years trying to get this game only to find out the control for the game blows. I keep this because my love for "Futurama" is eternal.

Game Boy Advance - Advance Guardian Heroes. The Sega Saturn version was much easier to play than this. Already sold it off about 2 months ago.

PS2 - Capcom Fighting Evolution. Why? This is the first Capcom game I've played that I actually hate. It has the worst cut-n-paste job I've ever seen in a game! All the characters look so pixelated against a dull and boring colorless background. There are barely 20 characters for this game compared to other fighters of this genre, only 3 options available, mediocre character selection, and unbalanced gameplay. This game will be sold off soon.

Sega Genesis - Wardner. Why? I'm really trying to play this game, but I keep dying during the first half of stage 1! There is no way to figure out where to jump to safely while I'm hanging on a vine. It's either bad game design, or I'm missing something! Another thing is that the game itself is so primitive that the SMS could've easily done this game. Cool box art though. I might keep it if I can pass the first stage.

Sega-CD - Revengers Of Vengeance. Why? The fighting animation is lacking, the shooting scenes suck, You keep fighting the same enemies over and over again and there doesn't seem to be any variety in strategies to beat them except doing fireballs all the time and jump kicks. A real stinker that deserves to be sold.

Sega 32X - Cosmic Carnage. Wow what a pixelated mess! And I thought Capcom Fighting Evolution was bad, this one takes 1st place! It looks like a bad hack job and the characters just suck! I don't understand what's so devastating in making a frankenstein-ish looking character do a ballerina dance move if it doesn't touch the enemy! The music was good though. This game is definietly going to Ebay!

Sega Dreamcast - Sega Smash Pack Vol1. The worst compilation of Sega Genesis games ever! The emulation is off on the games with a lot of sounds missing from the original. I'm better off just playing them on the console they were meant to be in the first place. I sold it to someone in Italy about 3 months ago.

Sega Saturn - DX-Hird. I think this game is either a clone of Toshinden or a spin-off. This game has terrible graphics and the collision detection is off at times. Virtua Fighter 2 and Last Bronx blow this game away. I don't think it's really the worst... well it is, but I just want to keep it because it has some interesting characters and it's interesting to watch the Saturn do a terrrible 3D fighter.

[Bloodstar]

NES: Cliffhanger. Total bore. Couldn't be bothered to hunt down a place to trade it in.
SNES: I don't even HAVE any bad games for the SNES. :/
N64: Pokémon Stadium 2. Not TOO awful, but it frustrates me a lot at times. It's good for the Transfer Pak feature really.
GC: Pikmin, I guess... It's also not too bad, but I just can't keep my interest in it for very long.
Xbox: I don't actually know... another console I have no real bad games on.
PSP: Between my four UMDs, Sonic Rivals might be the supposed worst, I find it kinda fun though, to be honest...

I don't even KNOW about GBC/GBA games... I have way too many to even sort them out. I did once own Conker's Pocket Tales, though... (I think that was its title at least.)

I remember getting really excited when I heard they were making a tron game, thats too bad it sucks. Id still give it a try though. Is it only on the 360

Yes. Get the demo first.

[cosmicpsycho]

for some reason i've had the urge to pick up shaq-fu lately. i'm sure i'll probably regret it.

[B - Mark]

My worst game is ET for Atari 2600.

My father brought for me in 80´s and this time i had 8 - 9 years old and I had this game confusious.

Years later, i discover this game is one of worst games of 1984 Video Game Crash together with Pac Man for Atari 2600 too.

I hadn´t like ET, but i like Pac Man.

I still have the game for collection only.

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

Yes I beleive that is thee actual official worst game ever released. Quite an honor really

[Collision Cat]

I have Shaq Fu on the Mega Drive and Pit-Fighter on the Master System. They're both pretty bad. I keep them because I never get rid of my retro games like I used to. I remember trading in Duke Nukem 3D and Panzer Dragoon when I got my Saturn... stupid.

[Earthworm_Jim_Fan]

Superman for the Atari 2600. This game makes E.T look like Pitfall!. I still have it because my one friend, who is a Superman freak, would kill me if I got rid of it.

Shadow the Hedgehog: The only, ONLY bad Sonic game I've EVER played, except for Sonic Labyrinth. I still have it 'cause I can't get anyone to buy it!

[Shinu]

Metal Head on the 32x. Why I still have it? It's the only 32X game that propulses textured polygons. It just shows the system could do it.
