drakkhen snes, I was so pissed at this game after I bought it, that I put a screwdriver through it. Only time I ever destroyed a game.

Drakkhen is a great example of how good atmosphere and music can save a mediocre game. I love Drakkhen both for the creepy atmosphere and the fairly fun and unique gameplay. It's got issues, sure, but if you know what you're doing it's very playable and interesting. Parts of that game still put chills down my spine. Oddly enough, the Amiga version doesn't have any music and totally lacks the charm, as such.
And I'll defend Last Battle as well. It's so quotable. "I serve the Duke." "What kind of being is Duke?" Or my favorite: "Arzakh, save the world!" "I will save the world!"
I'll agree with others on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Also.

I really hat zelda 2. It's not the fact that it's hard, but the fact that the music and the stupid attack along with the annoying little enemies make it a game I just can't stand at all and would play 98% of other games over this.
Final Fantasy X
Seriously one of the only games I've ever just flat out stopped playing because I thought it was so bad.

people at work convinced me to try one of their girly first person shooters, I played battle field 3 for 33 seconds, died 3 times, seriously the least fun gaming experience I ever had.
seconded only by my unfortuante time trying to play panzer dragoon on the saturn, which has been officially renamed "unfun triangle shooter dragoon" by my then group of friends.

The gameplay actually isn't horrible, but man... you start single player and you have to win a bunch of games to earn money to enter the big tournament. I did this, and was thinking to myself, "Why do so many people dislike this, it's actually pretty fun!"
Then, the tournament is ONE game. That is it. The giant city tournament that you spend a whole bunch of games getting money to play in is apparently so big that it attracts one other team. You win, you're done.
Seriously? How hard would it have been to put in a couple more teams? To do something, anything to make it feel like my play in the first part of the game was at all worthwhile.
It's my worst game because I don't put up with games that suck... and for that one, it tricked me into beating it. I have never played it since, nor will I.

Add another tick next to The Tick. I think maybe in my lifetime I've played technically worse games, perhaps something buggy or a little unfinished. Never before, however, have I played a game so monotonous and unfun in my life. I played for three hours, made it halfway through the game, and only fought three different enemy sprites. There are no special moves, nothing. There's barely any challenge.
Anything else would have been more interesting: Streets of Rage, Riot Zone, the worst old dusty Double Dragon port. I was hoping something would happen, anything. I think I would have liked the game better maybe if it was a complete unplayable mess. At least then I could have gotten a laugh out of it.*
*Although there is one funny part in The Tick. After the first forty minutes or something of fighting only palette swapped ninjas (no joke, only one enemy sprite) in the same generic backgrounds, you make it to a new oriental style level. You start walking along and see a sign in the background. "Welcome to Ninja World"! Then you proceed to fight ninjas for another half hour. I laughed, but the game still left a bad taste in my mouth.
