10 Worst Games Of The Last Century 

Don't count out an 1800's list just yet. I don't know if you've played Jed Cousins Butter Churner Pro 1865, but it's almost a complete rehash of 1864 with a new skin.

The part where you put a cutout of Ben’s head over his own body really cracked me up

So tired of people labeling E.T. for Atari as one of the worst games ever. There are dozens of games worse than that one. Still a good list and video overall.

As always, Liam knocking it out of the park with the edit

I'm afraid you missed Kang Fu. Easily in the top 5 worst games ever... Maybe even number 1.

If you do worst games of the 2000s, may I suggest: - Tiny Toon Adventures: Plucky’s Big Adventure (PSone) - Who Wants To Beat Up A Millionaire? (Dreamcast) - Little Britain: The Video Game (PS2/PSP) -Spirit of Speed 1937 (Dreamcast)

Lol still can’t believe ET gets the blame for nearly ending the industry when Custer’s Revenge exists 😆

Nightrap was pretty alright, not the best game or anything but it isn't by far the worst game, I mean visual novels exist to this day and in some of them you can't even get half of Nightrap gameplay, I'd call it different but not worst just because it isn't the typical game you'd find in that era.

Great editing on this video. Really enjoyed the pacing and visual gags

Tbh The Crow would make an amazing video game done right. Something between Arkham City and Far Cry would be perfect.

Love your channel guys. I'm looking forward to watching it continue to grow.

11th of november is dutch halloween. Happy to see TTJ giving me free candy without even having to sing a song about a lamp!

Great channel, always think you guys should be pushing the millions of subscribers as vids are so slick 👍

What, no Rise of the Robots? That game basically killed Amiga and Commodore.

Me in 1981:"Look ma Pac-Man" Mom:We have Pac-Man at home. Me: Yeah but it sucksssssss!

3 things I expected to see. 1 An LJN entry. 2 Superman 64. 3 ET. I'm not disappointed

There was actually a Friday the 13th Game published by Domark for the Spectrum, Amstrad and C64 back in 1985. That version was also panned and is now pretty much forgotten.

You guys have obviously not played video games if you think ET is the worst. Try Firefly for the 2600 and tell me how much you love THAT game.

The Atari graveyard was found near Yuma, Arizona, USA. Cinemassecre did a documentary on it, AKA Angry Video Game Nerd

The most well known bad games of the last century maybe, but the worst? Nah. I'd argue that something like Heavy Nova for the Mega Drive/Genesis/Mega CD is less playable than most of this list, and then there's the shovelware dreck that's appeared over the years.

If it wasn't for ET "crashing the industry" many of us 80s kids would have never gotten a console. My dad bought us an Atari with like 20 games for dirt cheap at SEARS. If the industry didn't crash my family wouldn't have gotten into gaming till well into the 90s

Wrong, they made a lot of games in the 1800s: Ther's the one where they punch each other, the one where they stab each other etc...

You keep mentioning the video game crash of '83 as if it nearly destroyed the video game industry worldwide. When it really didn't, outside of America things went on as normal. But I am also sure there are many awful games from the 8 and 16-bit micros that could have possibly made this list as some were made with various degrees of quality.

2:51 IT BROKE NEW GROUND AT-ST AT-ST

The real reason Pacman was scaled down is to make the system look inferior. A bunch of games did this on purpose there was stories about it

I am very pleased with the inclusion of the ungodly "Mortal kombat mythologies: sub zero"

If Snakes and Ladders isn't number 1 for the "Worst games of the last century", I am going to write a sternly worded letter to TripleJump.

Players can choose between LL Cool J, Coolio, and Queen Coolifa for a cool time.

Instead of Rap Jam Volume 1, I would've put in "Club Drive" for the Atari Jaguar.

I've been gaming since it first started becoming 'mainstream', and I can categorically say that for all its failings ET certainly isn't/wasn't the worst game of the last century. My mother (rip) said she'd buy me Pac Man (which was very expensive at the time) if she won at bingo, which she didn't expect to. Lo and behold she won and had to buy me the game. That game in my opinion is a lot worse than ET, and even then I know there are worse games that I played.

I found myself rolling my eyes at most of the entries here, typical stuff for this topic. I'm sorry, but there are plenty worse games then these. On the ZX Spectrum alone we have "games" like SQIJ & Don't buy this! 5 of the worst games ever. If anyone is interested in seeing an originally researched video on this topic, I would recommend Larry Bundy Jr.

Ok. Minor push back because I played the Friday the 13th game on NES when it came out and I adored it. Yes it was super hard but my friends and I traded strategies on the playground and eventually learned to beat it. It was great because it was about as hard as fighting Jason should be.

Who writes their scripts? They seem like they have never played any of these games (in ALL of their videos). It's like some wealthy dude said, "make a video game channel, hire the cheapest writers, do those top 10 lists people click on, & I don't care if it's shit...just get clicks".

Night Trap is in but the Pit Fighter on SNES ain't? Or Bubsy 3D on PS1? Dragons Lair on the NES? Shaq Fu? Jesus!

That Rap Jam game looks EXACTLY like Barkley Shut Up & JAm. Like... it the gameplay looks identical.

The Sub Zero game caused me so much pain as a child

Wrong Crow there guys, wrong Crow

6:34 I’d even suggest that they stay out of the recording studio too

Even a certain nerd admits that there are a lot of games worse and less functional than E.T., I personally agree ( it's bad, but not the worst).

I think the worst of the worst should be Crazy Bus. At least Bubsy 3D or all the games on the list have some (broken) gameplay. CB has none.

Bubsy 3D should have been there instead of Friday the 13th.

Having to play the top 3 games here could rightly be considered crimes against humanity.

I'm glad I read the comments before I watched. I knew that ET was going to be undeservedly At #1. No need to watch, nor subscribe.

Rise of the Robots should have been on this list, the developers claimed it was going to be better than Streetfighter 2, but it was the worst fighting game of all time, virtually unplayable.

I legitimately loved MKM: Sub-Zero.

Plumbers don't wear neckties could be here too

Where did the mega Phil Chambers come from In the intro lol

As a wee lad, I loved a bunch of these games. Friday the 13th with the lights out was deliciously creepy and my dad bringing home E.T one random Friday was great. I had no idea what was happening in E.T, but brining that wilted dead flower in the hole back to life made up for that. Great channel fellas, love your content.

This is a bad list; it's clearly not based on experience. It's like you found a random sampling of things that AVGN talked about without understanding them. Atari Pac-Man was a bad Pac-Man conversion but way above the basement for Atari games. ET wasn't good but it also had more going for it than most Atari games. Night Trap is bad in the sense that all FMV based games are bad, but it was far, far from the worst of the FMV games. Friday the 13th NES for some reason has a reputation for being much worse than it is which generally has gone away but you're still stuck on it. Even if the game doesn't do much for you, it's plenty playable as compared to other LJN games. LJN's X-Men on the NES which is completely broken and about as close to objectively worse as possible. The Philips CD-i games are legitimately bad, and not just for the FMV. Much of that is because the system hardware had trouble with the "gameplay" part of games. But there are far worse games than the Zelda games, whose controls are good - for a CD-i game. A game like Dark Castle on the CD-i has all the problems of the Genesis port with all the bad tech of the CD-i and is an exercise is self-hate. And, as insane as this sounds, the FMV wasn't especially bad for a CD-i game. Check out "Atlantis - The Last Resort", a bad Wolf3D clone with a slow, incoherent, embarrassing 3D intro which doesn't provide any information. There are games that try to use video to hide the fact that the gameplay around them has nothing going on, like Tetsuo Gaiden, and games which don't even do that right, like Connect Four and Alien Gate which might have enough gameplay for a free app included with Windows 3.0. The Crow: City of Angels is a bad game, but it's also a pretty standard bad tank control game for the time. For example, the far more famous Bubsy 3D is a significantly worse major release with tank controls from that generation. Custer's revenge is pretty foul, it's hard to judge any gameplay elements although I don't think they would be especially bad as a 2600 game if the theme was not what it was. It feels strange to be doing a list of "immoral games", but this one is pretty far over the line as opposed to Night Trap which is not over any lines, just over the heads of the politicians of the time. Superman is fair. It was reviled upon release as much as it was later. It's just new enough to have reviews from sites that still exist. "Do not buy this piece of garbage" said IGN and "it serves no purpose other than to firmly establish the bottom of the barrel." said Gamespot. Relative to the time, it belongs. MK:SZ also seems fairly bad and might even been a less enjoyable mess that Superman. It seems bad at least in relation to the expectations and the platform it was on. I'm not sure with all the popular games how you ended up with Rap Jam: Volume One. It's not well known enough for me to compare it to other weak SNES games. It looks bad, but mostly for being dull. Is it really worse than "Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball" or the broken controls of "Mega Man Soccer"? Even if it's less of a sports game, it's not worse than the utterly broken conversions of Pit Fighter and Race Drivin' according to what I can find. Heck, you guys are from a place with the ZX Spectrum. If we're going to have the worst games from the previous century, you should have SQIJ. Here's a game which a publisher put onto a tape and into a box with art and everything and put on store shelves with a price tag in 1987. It was written by a 13-Year old boy and due to a bug in the code not be played. You could start the game and that was it. Even if you hack the game to fix the bug it's pretty terrible. That's worse than every single thing on your list.

MK Mythologies was only bad if you sucked at it. I got enjoyment out of a weekend rental from it.

Having played in a bad video game tournament, nothing on this list is in the top 500.

11:07 Self-contained GANON! amirite...

I feel pretty special to have actually played ET as a child. It really is pretty senseless and pointless.

Looks like you're off the hook Big Rigs

You've played and hated MK Mythologies but have you played MK Special Forces or *gulp* Mortal Kombat Advance??? They make MKM:SZ look like Breath of the Wild.

I agree with everything here than Friday the 13th. Is it a good game, not at all, but it's far from bad. It's more confusing terrible map system makes it more frustrating to play than anything, but it's hardly a bad game let alone the worst on the NES.

I think there's a more finished version of the Superman Game for PS1 that's actually good

Okay, these are games aren't amazing, but some are borderline enjoyable or their badness has been sensationalized massively by the public. There are games that were released that you can't finish, have really bad bugs, etc. Pac Man, Night Trap, Friday the 13th and others on this list look like amazing titles compared to those.

Fairly standard list.

Here we go worst games time

I hated ET: The Extra Terrestrial. The movie, not the game.

10:00 While the animation is worse, the personality is however a 1:1 transfer of Link in the official cartoons, so...

Using Eminem in the Rap Jam bit is redundant. Eminem is actually a decent ball player.

First like for you tiny peter!!!! So it's a tiny celebration.

Night trap isnt even on of the worst fmv games let alone worst games of the century

Oh an LJN title. How unexpected... Cough cough

I would of went with the shity Commodore 64 Friday the 13 game over the NES one

No ride to hell retribution?

Laziest list I’ve ever seen. Just a list of nerd episodes

the crow 1 is even worst

I don't think E.T was a bad game, it just had ideas in the game that were just ahead of its time and didn't really translate well to the consoles limits

Street Fighter EX plus Alpha, the very shity Superman 64 if you can call that a game it's infamously unplayable, Street Fighter 3 new generation are some of the worst games of the century in my opinion not excluding ET for the Atari 2600

I liked pacman on the 2600

Who's the guy with the glasses?

I think a Mortal Kombat game that’s not a fighting game would be fun If done right

So if Pac man was so bad because of the 2600's limitations, why was Mrs Pac man so good? I would say Pac man sucked because it was rushed

Top 10 worst racing games in the last decade

lmao

You don’t remember the Atari 750 of 1878?

Atari 2600's Pac-Man looking/playing the way it does...due to system limitations? That makes a lot of sense...but it's not quite true. Blame it more on the early release point on the system made of wood. Try playing Ms. Pac-Man and especially Jr. Pac-Man for the 2600 to see what a refined game could do on such limited hardware. Those two really put this horrid port to a thousand times more shame for not trying hard enough to be better.

So basically the worst games ever

Don't forget about Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. And Sonic 2006. Not to mention Life of Black Tiger.

FORMALITY 🤣

Number 1: Everything on the N64.

Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde nes way worse

If Cyberpunk isn't on here, I send it back. EDIT: My bad. I need to read the title before commented. 🙄

yeah these games were pretty egregious

Friday the 13th is good. It's critically lauded. Night Trap's novelty automatically means it cant be on this list, especially since Its one of the highlights of the Sega CD.... And no I don't quite understand why I have to be like this. Loneliness? The frailty of youth? Dementia? Maybe its because my parents freebase fanta when my mom was pregnant with me.

Why do people use “in the last century” when referencing video games? We are literally in the first century of gaming…

To be fair to Custer's Revenge (don't get me wrong, the game sucks) it was made by porn brand "Swedish Erotica." Anyone actually expecting any sort of quality from a game made by a porn brand probably watches porn for the storytelling and acting.

Night Trap, Friday the 13th, and E.T. shouldn't be on this list. There are tons of games worse than those three. E.T. wasn't actually a bad game...just poorly explained...and people were too lazy to read the instruction manual.

oh come on there's WAY worse games in the 20th Century then Night Trap! It's nowhere near as bad as the likes of say Heavy Nova or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

WARNING! THIS VIDEO CONTAINS FALSE INFORMATION! Everyone knows that Pac Man is a pizza, not a hockey puck.

You know you're a bad game when the 3rd game on the list is the game about sexual assault.

f13 isnt even a top 10000 worst game.

Yay another list video 🙄

Whatculture had almost this exact list as well as almost every other gaming list channel

Actual name of list: Most popular bad games of the 20th century. Good to know your writers avoided all the actual worst. But check out SQIJ and Super MonkeyDaiboken if you're ever in a mood to punish them.
