Name your picks for NES games so bad they're good!

[Garry Silljo]

Another + vote for Elm street. I've always liked this game. Friday the 13th not so much though.

Super Pitfall

How I hate thee, you can't duck to kill the frogs.. and just to put the pain topping on the bad game pizza, all the items you need are hidden.

Silver Surfer

I hate to be the weakest thing in the entire game. One hit deaths aren't fun.

I've never played a game that was so bad it's good. I don't really find any enjoyment out of playing bad games. There are games I like that other people think are bad, but there's already a thread for that and this is an entirely different subject.

Yeah, I have to say for me there isn't the same scope for enjoyment in a bad game as there would be in a bad movie - you can't just sit back and laugh at it, you actually have to wrestle with the awful controls, piss poor level designs and cheap deaths until you just want to claw your own brain out.

that said: The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle. Just about the worst NES game I've ever played. And that includes unlicensed games. (Well maybe not Cheetahmen II, but then that was never finished or properly released anyway)

King Neptune's Adventure. I've spent time trying to understand what I am supposed to do, and made some minor progress. The game is a mess, but I would just like to understand what the hell King Neptune is even supposed to be doing in the game. I'd also throw in Quattro Adventure. The Robin Hood game on it almost seems playable, but I think it is just an illusion to torture you.

It sounds like you hate playing them, so how are they any good?

Another game I can actually pick on for that same thing is Friday the 13th. Really, the first Friday the 13th movie had little to do with Jason and more to do with his mother, it wasn't until the second movie he actually took his role as the famous masked killer. Still fun games!

i think the game is suppose to be a spin off of number 3 where he finally gets the hockey mask (cause in number 2 he has a potato sack style mask) running around killing camp counslers and you see his moms head (because if you either made it far in the game or seen reviews like AVGN's review you will see a boss like character is his moms head floating around and such)

Donkey Kong Math. I know it was an educational game but...come on

[Kevincal]

10-yard fight

[starsoldier1]

Zombie Nation, very weird game when you first play it (you being just a flying head and all) but it grew on me and it's a decent shooter overall.

Haha, good point, I actually forgot about that. It's been way too long since I saw those.. Really should watch them again.

cheetahmen 2 and action 52

One game immediately comes to mind: Robodemons. I love that awful game. XD I get a migraine by the time I'm done playing it, but it's fun while it lasts.
