The worst thing about Big Rigs? The one of the guys who made it still makes games, he is a designer at Hammerpoint Interactive now and was a lead on The War Z.

    Taxi Racer, an awful game from the creators of Big Rigs and War Z :dead: :dead:

    The Alone in the Dark reboot of a few years ago was an absolute mess. The controllers were so clunky the game was near unplayable. Its the first game that I put down after 30 minutes because it was such a mess.

    I suck at making games myself. The gameplay in a car racing game I made with Game Maker (and never released for download for this very reason) was similar to 'Taxi Racer'. I made a simple 3d city layout, had simple arrow key controls and pretty much made a complete pile of rubbish. Except unlike TR there wasn't even a point to the game you just raced and timed your lap...

     

    I think my city sim game Virtucity deserves a mention here.

    There's the link. 

     

    The game lacks curved roads, lacks any actual 'glass box'. So pretty much its a Simcity clone game but with poorer gameplay and graphics. I hate myself and everything so much lol

    For more really bad games, check in YouTube for Angry Video Game Nerd. Since Simtropolis is PG-13 site, I can't post any video from this show. But you can find the show in Cinemassacre. Tons of bad language and plenty of terrible games :P

     The Angry Video Game Nerd is very funny stuff, the sliver surfer was the best for me, but then all of his earlier work was quite good.

    True. And I gotta go with the Nerd on this one, Silver Surfer does suck bad. The NES was before my time, but it was stained by games like Action 52, Silver Surfer, Nightmare on Elm Street, the list goes on.

    But what takes the cake and eats it too are the CDI Mario and Zelda games. Those franchises are LEGENDARY. Like, Mario 64, SMB 3, Mario World, those are fantastic, but then this "Hotel Mario" garbage comes in and damages the reputation of gaming itself. And how 'bout Zelda? It's no secret that I love this series. You got some of the best games ever, like Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, the list goes on. But 3 HORRIBLE CDI GAMES!!! Ugh,... They don't even need to be talked about.

    I feel you Mr Saturn. One of the worst games I have ever play... no... the worst game I've ever play is Empire Earth 3. I love the Empire Earth (E.E.) series. The first one was unique and original, with epic battles and music. The Art of Conquers expansion lift the game up. Wars on alien landscapes, with robots, cyborgs and spacecrafts, with superior music and epic sound effects!!! Enough said!

    E.E.2 wasn't something unique, but still you can't ignore it. It's one of the most advanced real strategy games I've ever play, with a great collection of buildings, units, civilizations, time ages, strategies and powers. A highly recommend game. But E.E.3 (2007) is the most hideous monstrosity, the most epic fail, the absolute catastrophe, the ultimate parody of the legendary E.E. series. Ridiculous intelligence, 3 "civilizations", 5 time ages, cartoon graphics, terrible quotes, a horrible version of the Rise of Nations world conquest campaign and the list goes on. This piece of junk makes Tiberian Twilight (2010) and Simcity 2013 looks great!

     

    No way, I'll still play Tiberian Sun (1999), Empire Earth (2001) and Simcity 4 (2003)

    I can remember a baseball game on C64, though I can't recall the exact name.  It would have to be the worst I've ever had the [dis]pleasure of experiencing.  Poor graphics and all, but that wasn't the point.  It played, it scored, for a basic baseball game it was fine.  The trouble was when you could never win.  Not even with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th with a 27-0 lead.  Give me a break!

     

    And it wasn't always just that game.  C64 = the "cheatingest" computer/AI ever made!

    QWOP is somewhat fun to me. Do I dare say Simcity 2013 as the worst game I've ever played?

    Duh, I'm really astounded that nobody mentioned The Sims so far!!! :evil:

    The Sims is not as worse as WRC 2 on PS3! This game was awful, the handling was horrific, the cars were unrealistic... Only the landscapes were plaisant even if they weren't in conformity with the reality.

    I forgot to mention that while there are far worse games out there (such as Big Rigs and Petroleum Tycoon), the worst game I ever played was SimIsle. It made little-to-no sense, had a tiny map size (where you could only see one or two tiny islands at a time), the native population often turned to creating narcotics from some local flower, the menu and commands were unintuitive, and I could never find out how to assign advisors/workers or change production. The farthest I was ever able to do was create Beach Resorts and make the warehouse (which was stocked automatically by the loggers) send wood waste to burn in the power plants.

    Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

    Words to live by:
    "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

    "Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34

    Since it's Christmas, let's talk about horrible games based on stories from the Bible. That's right, Christian-themed "educational" games. Most of them made for old Nintendo systems, especially NES, but without any endorsement from Nintendo. Those games have been made by a game company called Wisdom Tree (Google it) and you can play a few of them in their website. Bible games like Bible Buffet, where you're blowing off snowmen's heads which has nothing to do with the Bible, and Sunday Funday, where you're blowing up random people on your way to church. Yeah, very educational and very Christian too :P

     

    Angry Video Game Nerd have made a few episodes about them. Because of his very angry language, I can't link them here. Search them in YouTube to find them out... for as long as you're 18 (or 21) and over.

    Airport Simuation 2014 is WORST GAME ever i played - its was boring game - you have to send the trucks and things to gate and back and also falsely adversted - example

     

    (credits to Vyvern on Steam) - his review gave a good explaintion of the misleading game

    Not only is this game awful it is also falsly advertised: It clearly says in the description that there are "Many management and business options for the expansion of terminals and extension of runways" which there are none. Not a single one. It also says its available in german, french and italian which isnt the case either.

     

    also my review is here http://steamcommunity.com/id/rsdworker/recommended/267600 - describes very well about this game

    the website link to offical site is farming Simuator (the other game on Steam) even its in german (no way to find support)

     

    there was alot of bad reviews (only 5 good reviews)

    I've just watched the review made by Angry Joe about this game. It's terrible. I mostly hate the role the women have in this game. It's insulting!

    The worst game(s) I've ever played was those burger king games. However, my absolute most hated game ever is The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. That game had so much potential and the Todd Howard crew made an abomination of it.

    I know a game even worse than Big Rigs...

    SODA Off Road Racing for PC

    I can't even belive that the creators of the NASCAR games made this.

    The "3D" graphics look more like sprites, the voices sound so bad you can't even understand them, it's near impossible to even move up a place, you have to use the arrow keys, and the track creator doesn't even work. Those are just some of the faults with this game.

    Anybody mention Extreme PaintBrawl? That game was god-awful :) only an 0.7 out of 10.0 on IGN. And to think I actually bought that game..... a waste of money.
