Worst NES Games..

[joemoedee]

After posting in the "best NES" forum, it sprung up this idea.

The NES had some incredibly amazing games, some that hold up until today. What were some of your least favorite games?

First one that comes to mind, "Athena". That game was a steaming pile of dog dung. I mean... "Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom and defensive warfare, has grown bored with the luxurious life her fellow-deities live on Olympus, and sets out in search of adventure" -- That just sounds FUN!

As far as disappointment goes, Baseball Stars 2. They took Baseball Stars, sucked the fun and customization out of it, and created a sequel. Epic lousiness!

"Football". Some consider it a classic, but any game that you can't pass across field, the ball has no height to it... Just awful.

Ninja Kid. Anyone else play this awful game? I mean, I was like 8 years old when it came out, and I played a lot of crap, but even at a young age, I knew crap when I played it

Venice Beach Volleyball... Unlicensed, broken piece of crap. Bought it brand new way back and it never played properly.

^ Punisher was awesome, IMO.

[Cao Cao]

I think Takeshi no Chousenjou (Takeshi's Challenge) could be up there. Then again, the game was purposefully designed to be terrible, a practical joke that required the player to do some ridiculous things. Game Center CX's Arino plays through it, though he uses a strategy guide and the video skips some portions of the game:

Here's another video of someone playing it in an emulator with no idea of what to do:

Punisher was pretty good, I got to get a copy, I played the crap out of it as a kid

[Plinko]

Punisher kicked all kinds of ass.

[Plinko]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Total Recall yet.

[mykevermin]

Wow. Takeshi's Challenge looked like an awful game. But hilarious to watch someone play through.

I've seen turtles cross highways faster than that damn dinosaur walks at in that game.

Jaws I could never spear the fraking shark with the boat at the end of the game. I think I spent weeks playing that game.

Wound my pride, dude. Just because a fella can't land a plane with on-screen instructions, ya gotta laugh at him ;)

I don't remember it being that slow, but I did play the heck out of it as a lad.

[mykevermin]

Nah - I laugh because I remember how frustrating that was as a lad. I wasn't any good at it either.
