The Best of the Worst Part 2

I apologize for the look of it, problems with the site and HTML Coding.

Welcome back to another exciting edition of the Video Games and More Blog, and so now we are about to head into part 2 of the worse video games of all time. Before we begin lets recap, number 7-5 of our countdown of the worse video games.

7. SHAQ-FU
6. The Smurf Rescue
5. Pac-Man (Home Version)


So lets not waste time, lets dive right into the the last 4 of the worst video game ever.

4. Daikatana:

To be real honest I have never heard of this game before today, but aftr reading some reviews. It just makes sense why it is one of the worse game around. Daikatana was suppose to be this game that offer an awesome story and great first person shooting. The problem was that it simply didn't, a hype surounded this game but it did deliever this at all. It was boring, dull and the character were so stereotypical.


3. Cluster Revenge (Mystique, 1982)


Before I give my opinion, I wanted my public to read the synopsis of this game.

"Custer's Revenge, starring a mostly naked General Custer (he wore boots
and a hat) and a mostly naked Native American woman (she wore a
feathered headband), who is tied to a post. Your job was to guide Custer
through a hail of arrows and a field of cacti to reach the woman and
engage in the type of behavior one expects in a Swedish Erotica
production."

..Already...I could say...enough said...but I won't...

The story is stupid and according to my source, no only was it stupid, but really hard for no reason. It was a bad game to start and still a bad game now.

2. Super Columbine Massacre RPG (Danny Ledonne, 2005)



"Here are questions to ponder over "Do Violent Video Games inspire horrific, violent acts in the real world? No one really knows for sure....but Do horrific violent acrs in the real world inspire violent video games?...Well Super Columbine Massacre RPG shows that they could. It is also a game that was in bad taste. That is the sole reason that this game was unsuccessful.


FINALLY THE WORST GAME OF ALL TIME:





















As many of you may have realized  from my last couple of blog ET was the worst game...but why was it? Here were some of my reasons.

1.The product was rushed: Because the E.T. movie was so popular,
the video game industry wanted to capture some of it's success, so in
July of 1982, plans starts to developed this game and by the end of that
year the game of finished (5 MONTHS). Most game take at least a
year to be fully developed, if not longer. Due to this, the gameplay,
was lousy which leads to multiple forms of frustration to the game
player.



2. The Gameplay was too difficult to use: since the game was in
fact rushed, the game play had cut-screens that just happened which
throws the player off, scenes where people randomly come out of no
where. And probably the worse issues that this game had (besides the
horrible color) was that the game was only one continuous level, where
even if a player was to beat (and I say this phrase loosely) the game,
the game would simply restart and put the items ET collected in other
places.


And there we have it....the best of the worst.
But do you agree with these choices. Comment on these...This is Kevin T. James Signing Off.

  1. I do agree with your choices... Maybe not in the exact order, but I agree. In retrospect, ET may not have been worse than, Custers revenge or Columbine, and ET was an earlier game.. the graphics and lack of real story in Custer and Columbine are unforgivable; At least ET is over 20 years old!
    I also thought the point you raise regarding violence (Columbine) is a good one.
    Even though I miss the VodCast: Nice work!
