Games That Are Worse Than E.T. (Atari 2600)

[nosweargamer]

So I'm tired of hearing the media and people who never played it call E.T. for the 2600 the worst game of all time. It's no gem, but I can enjoy it and I have definitely played worse. For instance, I'd rather play E.T. than Urban Champion on the NES.

What games would you consider worse than E.T.? (Games can be for any system)
Or do you think it is the worse game of all time?

Quite a few games are worse than E.T. I'll mention NFL Football for the NES.

10 Yard Fight is not only the worst football game on the NES or the worst football game on any system, it is literally the the worst piece of crap video game ever made on any system.

Karate. If you spent money on this abomination you have my sympathies. Those poor souls who bought this crap game should have filed a class action lawsuit for deceptive marketing. What jury after playing this POS could not side with them??? Ultravision actually tried to market this game as an arcade quality video game. They also boasted about their consumer satisfaction guarantee. Well how about a refund Ultravision/Froggo??? Check out the advertisements:

E.T. isn't even close to being the worst 2600 game, let alone the worst game of all time. I'd easily rather play E.T. than about 25% of the rest of the library.

How about Ridge Racer DS? What was otherwise a perfect conversion of a favorite Nintendo 64 game and the high point of the Ridge Racer franchise, was absolutely destroyed by the lack of an analog stick on the hardware itself. The game is simply uncontrollable using the d-pad or the touch screen.

I wish I had that $20 or so back.

I'm actually glad that James Rolfe said it wasn't the worst game ever in his review of it. You just have to know how to play it, which most people don't bother to learn. Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, for example, is far more broken.

Since so many take his word as the gospel, I think the hate for this game will die down some.

Most of the early, "numbered" early VCS games.

Been trying to tell my friend the Return of the Joker (NES) review is pretty exaggerated. But he is unconvinced.
That part in the third level he has trouble at is pretty far from the worst part in the stage (he didn't even mention the moving spike ceiling section. I recall one jump had pretty tight timing to cross a pit without hitting the spiky ceiling. Not to mention he left out the CHARGE SHOT feature, which is how you're supposed to deal with those "unfair" enemies), let alone the game (I couldn't beat the Joker, probably because I'm impatient, but I recall that level was pretty tough).
