Oh come on. Asteroids takes the cake.
First off, you're in a small black and white 2d world. Imagine breathing in a 2d world, not gonna happen, no sir.
Secondly, you do get a space ship, but it's a tiny space ship, but it's not a sweet space ship like an X-wing or even a Winnebago with wings. It's just a tiny little triangle shaped ship with a single weapon.
Thirdly, all there is is gigantic asteroids that keep flying around and around and around with their only intent in smashing your ship. Not like your ship can take one teensy tiny collision, NO, you get hit you one dead MOFO.
Fourthly, when you manage to blow up a gigantic asteroid, does it go away? F@#% NO IT SPLITS INTO FASTER ASTEROIDS WTFFFFFFFFF?!!?!?!?
And if you do manage to clear them all away, are you home free? HELL NO you're doomed to be trapped into another small are with even more and faster asteroids! It's just one massive deathtrap with no way out.
Either that, or Pac-man, cuz you're popping pills and running from ghosts in a small maze listening to repetitive music, and come on, this is the new millennium people, not the '60s.
