Your first 'bad' game

[babinro]

There's only been a few that I've owned in my lifetime that were terrible or not worth the money in retrospect.

Sim Earth (NES) is the earliest I can remember.
Captain America and the Avengers (NES).

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (N64) - Varitel nailed the reasons nicely above. Also it sacrificed frame rate for graphics which is a terrible idea for any FPS game.

Grand Theft Auto 4 (PS3).

 

[Brentpool]

Champions of Norrath for the PS2.

Say what now.

Exactly.

(It's one of those games from the "Let's take a popular CRPG and turn it into a shitty console dungeon crawler" era, like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance or Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. In this case the victim was Everquest, but I didn't know that at the time, I was 13 so I was just like "Swords, woo!")

The first game based off a film i played as a kid, oh wait it was ET...

 

[tacotrainwreck]

X-Men on the NES. Apparently, the only 2 powers the X-men have are 'shoot' and 'punch'.

 

[Johnny Reb]

Darkest of Days - Xbox360

even to this day i regret spending the $4 on this piece of crap.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Home Alone for the NES. On the other hand, my brothers and I may be one of the only households to ever actually beat it (read: survive for 20 minutes) so clearly it must have had some kind of charm (we weren't exactly discerning at age 5).

I guess now is a bad time to mention that I still really like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance as well?

 

[killercyclist]

swamp thing for the nes, or the game on nes were you have a yo-yo for a weapon, can't remember what it's called, anyone know?

 

[CannibalCorpses]

Short circuit for the C64...that game made no sense to me at all.

Pneumatic hammer for the C64 because it made me buy a joystick to play it and it took me 6 months to save up for one bah.

Probably some from the zx81 era but i was too young to remember which ones specifically.

 

[Eccentric_Jon]

Rad Gravity (NES)

That shiz was crazy difficult!!

 

[NoOne852]

One of the Madden NFL games... The only entertainment was when I was playing with my cousin and when he would go for a field goal, I would just pass the line before the play started so a flag would be thrown on the play. We didn't play for long if you couldn't guess that...

 

[Shoggoth2588]

When I was a kid, I rented a Super Nintendo game that looked pretty cool, the cover art featuring a Super Sentai called Ultra Man fighting a monster who looked like Gigan (I think, I need to bone up on my giant monsters)

Ultraman on the SNES turned out to be the worst game I have ever played and will stay in that horrible position. The only other game that could contend with Ultra Man when it comes to horrible piece of shit games would be Final Fantasy XIII. At least FFXIII was pretty though.

 

[Cowabungaa]

That I owned? Medal of Honor: Rising Sun for the GameCube. Looking back at it it was a complete piece of shit, except for the first level featuring Pearl Harbor.

 

[Thaius]

I honestly don't remember which exact game it was, but it was on one of those old demo discs for the PS1 that used to come with Playstation magazine. There were lots of demos on those discs, and I know there were a few of them that I never even finished because they just weren't any fun. First time that ever happened to me.

 

[Megnaman]

Mario's missing

 

[Matrixbeast]

Transformers: Convoy No Nazo/Mystery of Convoy (Optimus Prime).
I was (Hell, still am) big into Transformers. So an 8 year old me finds out there's a (In)famous Transformers game released only in Japan on the Famicom. So naturally I ask my grandmother (Who is 100% Japanese) to pick me up a copy (And a Famicom) when she leaves to visit Japan.
Yeah. I was never more disappointed than that (Since I waited all summer anticipating that game) when it came to video games.

Hold on...

*looks through old nes games*

It's a three way tie because I can't remember which one I got first.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Mach Rider
The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World

I have worse games but I acquired them some time after those three.

Spoiler: This one was unexpectedly awesome even though it looks so stupid.

EDIT:

X-Men on the NES. Apparently, the only 2 powers the X-men have are 'shoot' and 'punch'.

I own that one too but I don't remember it being terrible in comparison to other superhero games from the nes generation. Wasn't the 'shoot' and 'punch' just a hardware limitation of only having the 'A' and 'B' buttons to work with? It's been a while so I can't really remember much about that game... the Avengers, Batman and the Rocketeer games on the nes were pretty good but I can't remember enough of X-Men to say how it compares with them.

A very shitty platformer called "Glover". Poor controls, bad graphics, and you played as a fucking GLOVE.

Dude, no way. I help take care of an autistic kid and the only console he has to this day is an N64. We usually just play games like Zelda:OOT (yes I get paid to watch a kid play Zelda) but today I helped him with that game. It was like playing a migraine.

I remember liking pretty much every game as a kid, so it's kind of hard for me. I can remember playing this Razor Scooter game, that was supposed to be like Tony Hawk only with scooters, by golly it stunk.

 

[Creator002]

First one I can remember is Superman 64, but I did play the SNES a while before that, so it could have been one on there.
On Superman 64: All I did was the training level over and over. Didn't even bother with the story. Probably didn't help I was too young to understand it.
