The DP Top 100 Worst Games List

[Gapporin]

Hey,

Instead of utilizing a ranking system like before for the worst games thread, in this go-around, everybody will be able to vote on which games they would like in the final list. How? Read on:

The list you see below was created from the ballots I recieved before when voting was opened. Using those lists, I created a master list where all the games were added equally, despite what ranking was placed when the list was initally created. I then added a point for each game that was in more than one list.

So, for example, E.T. is placed at +4. That means 5 people voted for E.T.; 1 to add it to the master list, and 4 people to add points for it.

This is where you come in. Using the list below, you can vote for which games you agree with, and they will get positive points. However, you can also vote on which games you disagree with, and they will get negative points. You can vote for/against as many games as you want to. I will keep editing this post to keep the current vote tabulation up-to-date.

Also, people who sent ballots before will be able to vote as well, but not for the games they initally put in their ballots.

(Hopefully that doesn't sound as confusing as it does in my head. :P )

Big thanks to Ed Oscuro, who suggested this current voting method.

Please add a minus to this and get it off the list ;)

[Nebagram]

Am I the only one who didn't totally loathe Sewer Shark then? Compared to Night Trap, at least. Get that on the list. And ALF for the Master System.

[Kid Ice]

Who put Mr. Do! on the list? Why I'll murderize 'em!

I agree Sewer Shark is the pits.

[Sweater Fish Deluxe]

Yeah, I don't know, there's an awful lot of those "everyone loves this game, so I'll say it's the worst game of all time just to be shocking" sorts of games listed in the base category.

It's also obvious that the upper categories are going to get skewed towards the famous bad games like E.T. and 2600 Pacman, which are definitely not actually the worst games in history, it's just that those are the ones everyone thinks of.

I'd say that to come up with a good list you'd have to eliminate both of those categories somehow. You could just use your judgement and take off any games you think people mentioned just to be contrarian. I don't know how you could handle the infamous category of games, but I definitely don't think it's fair that the 2600 verison of Pacman will end up probably in the top five when there's easily hundreds of games that have been much worse.


...word is bondage...

[Sweater Fish Deluxe]

(That post was so nice, I had to say it twice.)


...word is bondage...

[theshizzle3000]

Yeah I agree i second taking chrono cross off of that list it is one of the BEST games of all time not worst. As for most everything else on the list it was not bad some of those games were straaight up disgusting.

Also, what the hell is Garfield (NES)? What country did that come out in?

[daynum]

Also, what the hell is Garfield (NES)? What country did that come out in?

That must be "A Week of Garfield" on the Famicom. It does suck pretty bad.

[bangtango]

That must be "A Week of Garfield" on the Famicom. It does suck pretty bad.

That one was ok. Garfield played worse on the Genesis than it did the Famicon. The one on the Genesis was a cheap ripoff of Gex or a couple of the Addams Family games, complete with the same style of gameplay and even similar stages.

[Ed Oscuro]

Yeah, I don't know, there's an awful lot of those "everyone loves this game, so I'll say it's the worst game of all time just to be shocking" sorts of games listed in the base category.
That's why you can vote on the list - vote to knock a game off the list.

Take E.T. - five people put it on their list so five DPers agree that it belongs on a "worst games of all time" list. If five people don't think it belongs there, well, it'll be knocked off.

I shouldn't encourage piracy, but please folks, take a look at some of the obscure entries and knock off those you think are likable (I hope nobody disagrees with me on Route 16-Turbo, though).

I guess this gives me a reason to play Dash Galaxy on my NES (it's a game that I bought from Orrimarko)...

I hope it works out to everybody's liking.

[Gapporin]

Updated!

Please note that we (or more accurately, I) am not taking any new entries at this time. I will only add more games once the = glut has been brought down to a more sizeable level. Thank you.

No it doesn't! There never was or never will be a reason to play that game. Just add it to the list and call it a day.

[Richter Belmount]

metroid 2 on the list is just blaphemous drexel!

good, good, we must make room for Altered Space and Aliens vs. Predator: The Last of His Clan

[Ascending Wordsmith]

Got a minus for Shaq Fu. Screw you all, I like that game!

Another minus for Mr. Do. How it even made it into consideration for this list is beyond me.

Lemme see... another minus for Ski or Die. The snowboarding halfpipe event was sweet!

Hmm... anymore minuses I need to hand out? Oh yeah, Sonic Adventure gets a minus. It was pretty exhilarating when I played it. Heck, it still is.

Now for the +'s!

Meant to post this six hours ago, but DP was down at the time :(

I disagree with these choices (I disagree with others as well but I'm only listing games I've played, which is the only honest thing to do):
Platoon (NES)
Actraiser 2 (SNES)
Adventures Of Bayou Billy, The (NES)
Bad Dudes (NES)
Cybercop (Sega Genesis)
Ironsword (NES)
Jim Power (SNES)
Magmax (NES)

Metroid II: Return Of Samus (Game Boy)
Sigma Star Saga (GBA)
Turok 2 (N64)
Castlevania II (NES)

Yes, I ended up playing Dash Galaxy for a bit. It's terrible and boring, but I'm not sure if it really is one of THE WORST games EVER. However, I was bored the entire time I played it, so it's not getting redeemed from this list anytime soon.

Same for Captain Silver...not too good. It looks great, but there's little playability. Also, that damn fountain.

Cyebrcop is kinda shaky. I've only played it on an emulator for a bit, and while it wasn't amazing fun I didn't think it was that bad. Mostly just different and slow. It's no Zero Tolerance, but there's a certain charm about the game. The premise is gold, too (kinda like Aliens meets Blade Runner with maybe a dash of The Syndicate thrown in - not sure which game was first, there).


whaaat is this, there are some great games in that "worst games" list.
Then neg them per the instructions! Also try reading.

[Bloodreign]

First the pluses:

Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle NES, SNES, Gameboy(add that to your list of really piss poor games)
Rise of the Robots (SNES, Genesis)
Alf (SMS)- just not even worth describing, truly awful

Then came the Minuses:
Metroid 2 (Gameboy)
Mr. Do (why oh why is poor Mr. Do in an awful list?)
Adventures of Bayou Billy (NES)- owned this game years ago, thought it was bad, recently replayed it, liked it once more
Castlevania Adventure (GB) hard as nails, great music, yes a little slow, and jumps are tricky, but it's classic in my book

[Gapporin]

Updated!


Huh?:

Altered Beast (NES)
Lion King (NES)
NHL Stanley Cup (NES)

Altered Beast was released for the Famicom under the name Jyuouki: Altered Beast.

Lion King was released for the NES, but only in Europe.

NHL Stanley Cup is for SNES, not NES. My mistake.

I've gone ahead and made changes accordingly.


If things get a lot of minuses are they just going to get dropped off the list?

Indeed. If they go past -3, they will dropped off. In fact, Castlevania II, Chrono Cross, Dragon Warrior, Metroid II: Return Of Samus, Mr. Do!, Sonic Adventure (1 and 2), Super Mario 64, and Turok 2 have been removed permanently.

Also, if a game goes past +5, it will also be removed, and added to a permanent list. Right now, only E.T. is on there.


also i dont understand, if we + something it makes it better and - something means its worse?

+ means that you agree that it's a bad game, - means you disagree.

[Daltone]

After doing some quite painful research, I would like to add some more votes to the list..

+

Busby 3D
Mortal Kombat Advance
Nightmare Creatures 2

-

Maken X (because while it's not really fun, it's not that rubbish)

Heh, I actually really like playing bad games for some reason.

Updated!


Huh?:

Altered Beast (NES)
Lion King (NES)
NHL Stanley Cup (NES)

Altered Beast was released for the Famicom under the name Jyuouki: Altered Beast.

Lion King was released for the NES, but only in Europe.

NHL Stanley Cup is for SNES, not NES. My mistake.

I've gone ahead and made changes accordingly.

Well then, I want to put down NHL Stanley Cup for a minus 1. The mode 7 was pretty cool and it was one of my favorite sports titles on the SNES.

[VintageVGMR]

Ok,

I am going to list the first one on the top of my head. Will add other later

DOOM (SNES) Sheesh, that has to be up there as one of the worst SNES games ever. If not the worst. I have seen better graphics on a Pentium 1.

In fact, Castlevania II, Chrono Cross, Dragon Warrior, Metroid II: Return Of Samus, Mr. Do!, Sonic Adventure (1 and 2), Super Mario 64, and Turok 2 have been removed permanently.

Sweet! Now us Sewer Shark fans have to band together, there's WAY worse games then that. :D

[scooterb23]

Another minus for Mr. Do. How it even made it into consideration for this list is beyond me.

/me waves

I think it was top (bottom??) 5 on my list...I absolutely despise that game.


Wow. Some of the people that voted really need to play more video games, especially if Mario 64 and Mr. Do! are 2 of the worst games you've ever played.

/me waves again

Both of those were on my list. :D

I haven't voted on any games yet:

+1 - closer to doom:
Alex Kidd In High Tech World (Sega Master System)
Captain Planet (NES)
Hang-On GP (Saturn)
Platoon (NES)


-1 - closer to safety:
John Elway's Quarterback (NES)
10- Yard Fight (NES)
Yar's Revenge (Atari 2600)
Jet Moto 2 (PSX)

I am about to play a Sega CD for the first time in my life. Never had one before but I won one last week on Ebay and it is currently in transit. The only game I have is Sewer Shark. Hopefully, I can play it in time and that I like it :D

[Neo Rasa]

I have seen better graphics on a Pentium 1.

Of course you have, Doom was originally made to run on a 486 (and is runnable on a 386). ;)

Hmmmmm...... you may have a point.

But, I think the PC version. What ever x86 it came out for was better looking than the SNES version. LOL

I rented that game as one of the first PS1 games I ever played. It was so bad I went back and demanded a different game. I got one too :)

As long as you get the controls down, shoot enough things in each section, and...like shooters and shooting stuff, you shouldn't have a problem. Also, if you like strategy games and RPGs, try and track down Dark Wizard and Vay respectively. The Sega CD had a few gems on it. 8-)

the bouncer.
i like this game a lot. granted, it was kind of short and full of movie scenes, but it is not even the worst Square game.

[Ed Oscuro]

If we can vote for/against as many as we want.....
You actually PLAYED all those?

I tried out Sewer Shark and thought it was kind of fun. Put me down for a -1 on Sewer Shark.

For anyone disputing this, my Ebay feedback link includes a link to the recent auction where I won a Sega CD, so I legitimately played it. It showed up last week and I already had Sewer Shark from a previous DP trade.

For someone who's part Sicilian, my skin's so pale I may as well be transparent.

There were a few I hadn't played before posting, but I put some time into them via emulation/playing at a friend's place before voting one way or the other. The unbelievable thing isn't that I played all of them, but that I actually know someone who owns a CDi around here.

Alex Kidd In the High Tech World

(Why is it on here? It's mediocre, but not absolutely horrible.)

[Daltone]

Is there any chance of adding a few more games to the list? Duke Nukem, Jurassic Park and Resident Evil on the Game.com have recently left me feeling dirty and violated.

Anyhow..

Has this been abandoned now?

[B - Mark]

In my opinion the worst games are:

- E.T: The Extra - Terrestrial ( Atari 2600 )
- Total Recall ( NES )
- Ghost House ( Master System )
- Back to the Future III ( Mega Drive / Genesis )
- Double Dragon III: The Rosetta Stone ( Mega Drive / Genesis )
- Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls ( Mega Drive / Genesis )
- Sword of Sodan ( Mega Drive / Genesis )
- World Heroes ( Mega Drive / Genesis )
- Streets of Rage ( Game Gear )
- Fatal Fury ( Super NES )
- Pit Fighter ( Super NES )

This poll hasn't been "abandoned". It's simply an on-going process. Much like the DP Top 20 Dreamcast/SNES/Neo-Geo/whathaveyou lists, people vote on what they want to include/not include. It goes back and forth. There's never a time where the list stays "static" (unless it lies dormant for a few months). If you really want to know the Top 100 or whatever, simply start at the top and countdown until you get to 100. Simple! :)

Besides, I haven't been able to update the list recently anyways because of the disabled edit function.

[calthaer]

+1 to:
Daikatana (PC)
Final Fantasy VIII (PSX)


-1 to:
Castlevania Adventure (GB)
Sigma Star Saga (GBA)
Nethack (PC)

Potential add to list: King's Quest 8: Mask of Eternity (PC). What a piece of garbage.
And perhaps Lady Sia (GBA) - also garbage.

[calthaer]

I would also like to nominate Cubix: Robots for Everyone (GCN) for this list.

[vintagegamecrazy]

I would love to add Battlemaniacs for Sega Master System.

[theshizzle3000]

I am going to request to put DBZ Sagas for the XBOX on the list because I am not a big fan of DBZ but I know they have the ability to make a good game. Sagas however was far from a good game and had a ridiculous amount of glitches that prevented me from enjoying even a little bit.
