Didn't just about every game in that "Extreme" series get a really bad rating from being rushed and glitchy?

What I'd like to do for kicks is design the worst game ever on purpose. Make the grahpics blocky, pixellated, and outdated, the music annoying and repetitive, the sound effects obnoxious and out of place, the AI clumsy, innacurate, and prone to getting stuck in walls and corners, clipping everywhere, hit detection poor, controls unresponsive and awkward, and then give it a flashy box. Basically, take the worst parts of just about every bad game ever made, and combine it into one package.

The producer of that game worked on Wing Commander. I talked to him about it once, he said thatthe game was made in like four weeks.

"The publisher got what they paid for".

(Regarding eXTREME pAINTBRAWL, that was made in even less time - a week and a half, I think)

No, but note that all the games listed so far are computer games, and the complaints largely involve shitty programming, and I would make the same objection if you brought up Daikatana in a thread where everyone is talking about shitty tabletap roleplaying games. The fact is you're berating people (in good humor, I presume of course) for not mentioning a game that is not of the same type as is mentioned in the opening post.

Do a really half-assed job, of course. It wouldn't hurt to not bother working out glitches or put a lot of levels in either. Still, a week in a half is really short.

Damnit! i got beaten to the punch with Chaoniki. :P

i recall reading in EGM's magazine that it was so utterly horrible that they wouldn't even give it a rating. and this was not even taking the homo-eroticism into consideration.

"H.G. Well's War of the Worlds." There was no way to leave the startup screen. Period. The game was absolutely, complete inaccessible.

Byydo wrote: Weapons: Since this is a fighting game, each character has their own range of attacks and moves. The actual control layout is pretty good, and the movement (all the characters can fly, and so can move in any direction) makes it a rather unique experience. There're a wide range of attacks and they're matched with a good, intuitive control scheme. However, most of the good points about the gameplay mechanics are balanced out by the fact that THE GAME IS FULL OF NAKED MEN. ALL THE MOVES INVOLVE SOME DEGREE OF IMPLIED SODOMY. Super Mario Brothers was a good game, but if they replaced Mario with a muscleman in a speedo who "grew larger" when he touched "a mushroom", NOBODY, ANYWHERE, WOULD EVER, EVER PLAY THE GAME, EXCEPT MAYBE FRAGMASTER.

Enemies: Since this is a gay sex fighting game, the player characters and the enemies are all the same. There are 8 characters, each with his or her own style, technique, and HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE SEXUAL INNUENDO. The characters include a lithe, loinclothed muscleman, a tight-pants kung fu guy, a woman who controls the ugliest pair of cherubs in existence, an Elvis robot, and a cute girl who seems to have had her lower body and the top of her head ripped off, with the remaining parts being surgically bolted to a tiny flying steamship which is crewed by three tiny, naked men. Further objections to good taste include a nude man in a flying bathtub, THE MOTHERFUCKING GOD OF WAR, and a strange blue thing which appears to be made out of latex. I have no idea what that blue thing is, but I'll probably be seeing it a lot in my forthcoming nightmares.

I only wish I had some of my older PC Gamers with me. The highlight of that magazine was going to the games being reviewed with scores beloe 10%, the review was always a fantastic piss take. One game, that French one like Homeworld, even got a "N/A" rating because they couldn't understand it enough to install and review.

Actually... I recall that the Mortal Kombat game for the GBA got a 0.0 score from EGM.

From what I've read, Zero Wing wasn't actually as bad as it's home version intro video makes it out to be. It was pretty much just an average sidescroller shooter.

i've played zero wing before. the gameplay actually isn't that bad, although it's a bit on the difficult side. the only thing that really makes it stand out is the shitty dialogue translation.
