Missy Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 While I suspect E.T. will take this one, I'm left wondering how many of you have actually played it. Not to sound like a jerk, but I want to make sure y'all aren't regurgitating what G4, IGN and all the magazines have spewed these last 20 years.

James D. Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I may have played it a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago (really, I think I might have but it was so long ago I can't remember), but even if I haven't, the answer is E.T. and only E.T. You don't need to play the game to understand why it's the worst game ever. How many other times can you remember a company gathering almost every copy of a game they've produced and physically BURYING them all in a New Mexico landfill never to be seen again? More importantly, though, this game doomed an entire video game platform. You know what really puts this into perspective, though? The Atari 2600 survived Custer's Revenge (and if you need a plot summary of that game, here it is--Custer, Indians, rape, cacti), but it couldn't survive E.T. Let that sink in.

Missy Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 All that aside, if I were voting, I'd click Superman 64. As a child, I played E.T. and tried to make some sense out of it. While it sucked, I at least had some fun dropping E.T. down the pits. Superman 64 on the other hand... ugh! I never got past the damn rings!

Ha, it always amazed me that Lex Luthor's brilliant plan was to have Supes fly cars through a bunch of oversized rings in what amounted to nothing more than a virtual reality simulator gone awry. I guess I'm just not as smart as Lexy or I might understand how that accomplishes anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I've actually played ET through the use of an emulator. Autumn actually remembers playing it on her 2600, but I was not fortunate enough to have one when I was young. It's hilariously bad. I don't remember ET being able to levitate by straightening out his neck in the film version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinmaru Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Of the ones I've played, Superman 64... but the right answer is probably E.T. The stories of its hideousness are legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-T Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Superman 64 was truly bad, but "Total Recall" for the NES is probably the worst game I have ever played. It makes you wonder how these games got to market. Didn't some play-tester somewhere give them a clue that it was a horrible game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Keith Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 While I suspect E.T. will take this one, I'm left wondering how many of you have actually played it. Not to sound like a jerk, but I want to make sure y'all aren't regurgitating what G4, IGN and all the magazines have spewed these last 20 years. *Raises hand* This game sucks, hard. And thank merciful heaven for video game reviews so I won't have to worry about playing those crappy ass games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I think the only one I have ever played is Revolution X. Was that the one with saving Aerosmith, firing CDs at enemies and whatnot? If it is, I played it back in elementary school and didn't think it was so bad, at least compared to these others. So I'll just have to regugitate what I've heard from G4, IGN, and other magizines and vote ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I've only played E.T. and Superman 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I vote Superman 64... Heres why: Atleast E.T. was an early video game...it was still a relatively new concept and you have to figure they didn't quite have it all down pat. By Nintendo 64 console gaming had been around for close to 20's...there is NO excuse for a game being as bad as Superman 64 is...especially with such a can't miss franchise to base a game off of. E.T. is a pretty hard enough thing to make a interesting game out of, to fuck up Superman as bad as the publisher did is pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
