What are the worst computer games you ever played/bought?

This also includes games for all gaming machines.

 

Id haft to say a racing game by sierra back in the late 90s it required you to go into dos..on my pos gateway..it would get stuck in dos for DAYs

 

Best racing game for me is the need for speed series. And to boot they keep coming up with new ones. I also enjoy the resident evil series because of the gameplay, and Cabelas hunting games for the same reason. Worst game would have to be the street fighter series. I couldnt stand them.

 

Best game I bought is not really a game but a simulator. Flight Simulator 2004 does it for if I want to pass time away.
Best racing game I ever bought was Nascar 2002.

 

Worst game? It was a NES game: "Conan". No booklet and kept getting stuck trying to escape a dragon spitting fireballs. Would get where I could hunch down to avoid them but trying to leap over it was the pits with nowhere else to go. Played other NES games with my kids but the ones my kids were best at (when younger) were hard on my poor thumbs.

As for PC games, I just could not get involved with any of the early D&D RPG games that a friend would play on their 386. Turn based gameplay and "Spell casting" was not my bag, I guess. When more "real time" rpg" games came out, did I start enjoying those. The same thing with RTS games. Played Diablo, WarCraft, C&C, Baldur's Gate, Sierra's "Hero" series. Have "Planescape Torment" on my new computer right now.

Then Castle Wolfenstein came out and found I loved FPS/Action games. Then Doom, Quake, Heretic/Hexen and so on. Flight simulators....started out with some Nes ones and then Terminal Velocity/Descent/Red Baron (and others) with the PC. Space ones too like "Freespace" and "Wing Commander" series. A couple of racing games like Need for Speed, but like the flight ones better. My daughter loves racing games, though.

3rd person can be a chore if the controls are too quirky, so I have not played many of those. Only Heretic 2, Heavy Metal 2, Max Payne and RUNE, of course.

Rummage around in "Home of the Underdogs" for any old ones I have not played or dont have the floppies anymore. Or for ones I missed getting when they came out new. For a long time, just did not have a computer fast enough or with a proper graphics/video card to play them.

 

Myst, Riven and game like them. Some af the worst were the football games and first combat flight games! Too many keys, mouse buttons and joy stick movements at the same time to comtrol the actions!

 

"GOLDEN AXE" is without a doubt the worst piece of trash in the twentieth century.

"ROAD RASH" is the counterpoint - I had a BLAST with it....

 

Worst=> Any FPS after Wolfenstein 3-D. They are all just bad clones of it.

I don't really have a best, I like a lot of different games and genre. I play mostly strategy, or complex sim games. When I got a mean streak going, nothing like firing up 'The Sims' and seeing if I can get a couple of my wife's little creations wiped out.

 

The worst game in my memory was Street Fighter. It was terrible, it makes me want to poo when I think about it.

On the other hand, the best is Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. No matter how bad my day has been, Grand Theft Auto can make it all better with a rampage or two.

 

Guys!! Street fighter series were the best (except the first one)! It started that whole fighter genre.

Worst game i've had is NHRA drag racing 2.... oh my god, that game SUCKS!!!

 

Alien V. Predator for the SNES. Huge flaming pile right there. Also, any of those online multiplayer RPG's like World of Warcrap and such. I have friends who waste their life playing those games instead of going outside and being active once in a while. It's like the game has become a substitute for their real life.

 

Got a friend whose son is so addicted to weird of worpcrap game that he stopped playing baseball and all other sports activities.

That's all he talks about; W.O.W.

I don't mind if they play those games, but some outside activities is also important.
