ME: Hi my name is Chris and I’m an addict. I collect videogames.
ALL OF YOU: Hi Chris.
ME: I’ve had this habit for the last 20 years of my life and don’t see any signs that this will ever go away. I sometimes find myself doing things I wouldn’t normally do just to get a fix. I just need to feel that rush of buying a new game. Sometimes I don’t really pay attention when I am in this state and end up buying a game that makes Baby Jesus cry. The worst part is, I will play said game to the bitter end, keep it, and usually defend it. I feel like I needed help so I came here.
THERAPIST: Well, Chris you’ve come to the right place, we can help you. But what we feel would get the ball rolling in the right direction to your video game sobriety would be to list the games that you own that are what others might call or you yourself deem “Shitty” in a descending order from least shitty to most shitty, maybe we can all help you.
ME: Ok, I guess I can do that…you said descending order right? Well ok, if you think it’ll help, here goes.
Number 10: Psychic Force 2012 - DC
Oh you bastard, I found you winking at me on the Used shelf at an un-named Gamecock. I remember almost picking up your brother from the PSOne at Babbage’s, but instead got Castlevania: SOTN (great game, get it!). I thought you’d be worth it for the 12 bucks I spent on you, but you were utter garbage. A steaming pile of dog feces on a piece of toast is what you were. How dare you call yourself a fighting game series!
Number 9: Unlimited Saga – PS2
You cost me a $20 bill that I will never see ever again, you bastard. You make me use a “reel” system to conduct combat? When exploring you look like a 2D boardgame! Man, I hear it might be worth it to give you another try, but damnit you sit on my shelf with an inch of dust collecting on top of you and you expect me to be happy to own you? For shame Square!!!
Number 8: Jurassic Park - SNES
You were my favorite movie when I was just about to hit my teen years. Hell I wanted to be a paleontologist thanks to you Michael Crichton! Then you start selling everything that you could slap the JP logo on. Made by my good friends at Ocean (known for their many many licensed movie games), you my friend are an anti-Semite. That’s right you are responsible for the Holocaust, which is an amazing feat considering you came decades after Auschwitz. Dick!
Number 7: A Boy and His Blob - NES
Fuck this game, I don’t care if anyone out there wants to get on their knees and suck the gelatinous wang of this doughy little prick, but you can count me out. Playing you is equivalent to getting VD, that’s right this game will give you Venereal Disease, don’t ask how. It just will. I remember playing you for hours and hours, not making any leeway at all until Nintendo Power made me a map and told me how to beat you. I did, but never again. I keep you in my collection just to spite someone out there who might want a copy of you.
Number 6: Evil Zone - PSX
Eretsuvaju, that was your name in Japan…where you should have stayed. You were a fighting game that my dog could have played. There is no depth to your combat. The characters are more retarded than those in Psychic Force. Your only redeeming factor is your anime cutscenes, but you managed to fuck those up with your ass to mouth sounding American Voiceovers. Not to mention that some moves took 20 seconds or more to finish their animations, this is not acceptable for a fighting game! Now, I wish I would have just resisted the temptation of buying you, just like Judas should have resisted giving up Jesus. Yes buying this game was akin to selling Christ down the river! You go to hell, you go to hell and you die!
Number 5: The Bouncer - PS2
………
I
Hate
This
Game!
You make me want to puke Sion, you look like a grown up Sora from Kingdom Hearts. I didn’t care about you or any of the other characters. Square, when will you realize that you can’t sell a game with graphics alone. This was supposed to be the be all end all of Beat ‘em up games, instead it appeared as a limp version of Streets of Rage with better graphics. Shit, Streets of Rage had better gameplay than you! I fart in your general direction!
Number 4: Fade to Black - PSX
Never had I ever had the urge to throw a game away, ever. The 3D engine and gameplay present in this game single-handedly made Delphine go out of business. You couldn’t even match up to the original Flashback on the SNES. Taking a big pile of doo-doo and smearing it on the Mona Lisa looks and probably has better control than you ever did. Damn I feel my blood pressure rising thinking of you. I need to take a break…
Number 3: Ultraman - SNES
Ultraman, you my friend, were a real let down. Yes you sounded like the show, but you didn’t look like it at all. Even Screw Attack says you were number 2 on the worst fighting games list. Could I even call you a fighting game? Nope, you were an abortion who continued to live. The coat hanger missed you in the womb Ultraman. How dare you disgrace your namesake with this game! I was only a kid trying to save up for a decent game and you took my money, shot my mom and dad, and poured sugar in my parents gas tank while anally raping Santa Claus.
Number 2: Blasto - PSX
I’ll be slightly nice about this one because it had the voice acting (that’s all it brought) of one of America’s best voice actors, Phil Hartman. You didn’t have to kill him by making this game SCEA, but you did and put the smoking gun into his wife’s hands. This game was a monumental letdown for me. You looked so damn cool, until my looking around causes me to fall off the platform I’m on, why did the developers make Phil Hartman die? He was supposed to be the voice of Zapp Brannigan in Futurama!
Number 1: Fester’s Quest
Simplest thing I can say is…FUCK THIS GAME. I’ve never had a game that:
1. Never made any kind of sense, like why the Addams Family got kidnapped by aliens.
2. Recycled all of the sound effects from other Sunsoft games, like Blaster Master.
and
3. Punished the player by giving them one life and made them restart from the VERY BEGINNING of the Goddamn game for dying. No continues, no Retry, nothing! Just a swift boot back to the beginning of the very first level with no weapons, nothing!!!
I saw this game kicking a bag of kittens while pissing on a Bible, the whole time drawing a picture of Mohammed wearing a salmon helmet. This game had to be the cause of 9/11, we all know that it takes years for games to be localized in certain countries. My guess is this game made it to Saudi Arabia in August of 2001. This game belongs in the cesspool that E.T. and Custer’s Revenge are part of…I wish nothing more than for this game to just go to hell!
I’m pretty sure that there are games on this list that you’ve got in your collection too. Some of you out there may want nothing more than to get home and fap fap fap fap about your great memories of a game listed above. I am listing these only because I hate the fact that I own them and can’t bring myself to rid them from my collection. I hope that this top ten made you laugh at least a little.
Are there any games that you own that you wish you didn’t? Any of you have a top ten idea for me? I’d be more than happy to indulge. Thanks again for reading everyone.
I think you should give lemon boy and his blob as a form of saying "nothing is really free." Keep up the good list work
LOLS @ that!! The crazy thing is, there are people out there who LOVE that game, like furries on secondlife wanting their baby unicorns.
My boyfriend tells me he owned Fester's Quest.
He agrees with its awfulness.
That made me laugh my frekin ass off and I never even owned or heard of any of them.
Also: You never did a top 10 PC games list. At least I don't think you did.
@ Neonie
Never did a PC game list...I'll have to get some help otherwise it'll look strangely like my 360 list i'm working on...
Jurassic Park...oh MAN, that game sucked. The sad part is that I spent months as a child convincing myself that the game was awesome. Months I could have spent running and exploring and basking in the fragile gift that is youth. Alas...
Oh how I hated A Boy and His Blob, it was one of the many shit games I owned. Whenever my Aunt would come over to visit she had to play this horrid game. Unfortunately, I usually ended playing half the game for her. I still shudder every time I think of the dreaded music that would just loop for hours...
A nice list by the way. Keep up the good work.
@ Outer Heaven
You and me both. I could have been doing something productive with my life instead of spending so many countless hours playing these games...god what a waste!
I think they should put these on the front page as a weekly feature. Also Cocks.
Man, FUCK FUCK FUCK Squenix for using the Saga name on Unlimited Saga. This is what transscribed the day I got it.
(looks around in Toys R Us)
Oh hey, look! A new Saga game! Man, I loved Saga Froniter, Hopefully this'll be just like it, only with PS2 graphics!
(takes home, puts in PS2)
Sweet, you can pick from a lot of characters! This is going to be just like SF1!
(ventures around town)
This is sorta weird.
(Plays first actual level)
FUCK.
THIS.
GAME.
ultraman. can i have it? :o!
Dude, I totally owned Psychic Force, the original... I played the game way too much as well.
I'm glad to see that most of you are in consensus with THIS list. I'm just waiting to hear from someone who LOVED a game on this list. I'd love to hear why.
I actually enjoyed The Bouncer, Excremento. But it was probably because the PS2 had just come out and I was in the "ZOMG, ZOMG, PS2 IS TEH BUTTSECKS" mode.
@ Coonskin
Me too, for about an hour and a day...then I went back to the articles that Square put out saying that the environments were supposed to be fully interactive...The Bouncer turned out to be a FMV broken up by 20 minutes of button mashing. Sure it was pretty, but i've learned something about Square...they can seriously make some of the biggest, yet shiniest turds on earth and us fans keep on buying them.
Yeah, I only rented it, and then my mom made me take it back to blockbuster because that one guy was the devil or something...
But Fester's Quest has a NINTENDO OFFICIAL SEAL OF QUALITY.
Hahaha, man I'm glad my parents left me alone when it came to gaming. But what was his name? Was it Volt who had the horns??? Damn I guess I got to boot that game up when I get home and check again...damnit!
Every time you think you're out, they PULL you back in.
I LOVED ULTRAMAN BECAUSE THAT WAY I COULD KICK MONSTERS ASS FROM THE COMFORT OF MY COUCH! :O
Yes, but the controls were teh suck, and the levels were even worse...man I hate that game...but I can't get rid of it...its like i'm a Game Control Officer, I have to euthanize all of the rabid games.
Unlimited SaGa was a huge disappointment, but god damn if it didn't have an amazing soundtrack.
Sorry Nex, I really hated that game...then again I really hated the original Tomb Raider as well when I rented it.
I didn't think The Bouncer was THAT bad. I was a little disappointed by it, but I still had an OK time playing it.
But then again, I did just rent it, not shell out $50 for it so that might have helped me hate it less.
@Upgrayedd- do you have two D's in your name for a double dose of pimping?
I love a boy and his blob to this day. I know I don't post around here and don't carry any weight but I think some of you should try that out before taking his word on it.
@ vacillate
I'm not asking anyone to take my word on anything...hell I even state that someone out there may love a game on this list. All I'm saying is that I raided my game collection and these were the top 10 games I own that I think are shitty. The violent ramblings below the games may not be warranted, but I have grown to hate some of these games. A Boy and His Blob was made by the same guy who did Pitfall, and in its own regard wasn't the worst game ever, thats why its #7 and not #1. I don't like the game being in my collection, I just tolerate it. But I ABSOLUTELY ABHOR Fester's Quest.
ha, I have Blasto. I could have sold it for 99c, but...hey, maybe it was the voice acting? idk. controls were, as you described, flawed.
yeah, all of those games really do suck. Except for Fester's Quest, that game was tight dude. I remember when my friend picked up an NES during our middle school days, we would play it in between a 6 hour marathon of Goldeneye on the N64. Fester's Quest was only awesome because of that reason. the game really does suck though
Ultraman is one of my guilty pleasures of gaming. Maybe I was too young then to know that it sucked balls.
Haha, my brother and I ended up beating Jurassic Park on the SNES back in the day. Terrible, terrible game. It honestly wouldn't have been quite so bad if there was a save system.
I'm a sucker for top ten lists, so I get exceptionally happy each time you release a new edition. That being said, I fucking LOVE A Boy and His Blob. Fester's Quest is also a fun but slight little romp. If these are the shittiest games in your collection, then you've done well for yourself.
It's funny. This morning I was just thinking about how I like Fester's Quest, but whenever I hear it mentioned on the internet, people are always hating on it. I should make a list called shitty games I like. You've inspired me.
The Bouncer???? that was a great game... noooooooooooob
u r teh FAIL
