Top 10 Worst LJN Games 

They didn't get AVGN to guest voice this episode Now THAT's BULLSHIT *guitar strums*

'LJN. You know what that stands for? 'Laughing Joking Numbnnuts' - The Angry Video Game Nerd

Top 10 Ways You made a List Based Off AVGN

"There's no gold at the end of the rainbow" -AVGN

AVGN was the first time I have heard of LJN

He's gonna take you back to the past.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

He's gonna take you back to the past...

"Why did LJN have to make EVERY NES movie adaptation? Couldn't they give someone else a try? No! They wanted to incorporate the entire spectrum of awfulness! Purple for putrid gameplay, Blue for bad musical abominations, Green for graphical farts and garlic, Yellow for piss-poor lack of loyalty to source material, Orange for aren't you a fucking idiot and Red for high-stress anger enducing masochism. Put it all together and you've got all the colors of the Shit Rainbow! Hurray LJN!" The Angry Video Game Nerd

"This game is a surprisingly faithful adaptation." *game instantly gets the movie quote wrong*

"Laughing Joking Numbnuts" -AVGN

oh man, you should have had the angry video game nerd guest host!

"Top 10 Worst LJN Games" first thing to come in mind : AVGN

This list owes A LOT to AVGN.

I came here for the AVGN-related comments and boy..I wasn't wrong. xD

AVGN approves.

Just watch Angry video game nerd

Now we're talking shit.

As the AVGN would say "WHAT ERE THEY THINKING???"

I see WatchMojo are sinking their fangs deeper into AVGN. Speaking of which, AVGN did point out a surprisingly very ok game from LJN.

Disliked by 79 ex-LJN employees

Should've gotten The AVGN to do this list. Everyone on the internet knows how much of a strong vendetta he has against LJN.

Right when I saw the title, I knew AVGN would be in this

Drinking rolling rock on the rolt 'n rocker -AVGN

If you were around in the 1980s, you probably had Ljn toys but didn't know it. They were the ones that put out the first WWF figures, also Gremlins figures and most famously, Thundercats!! While their action figures were really good, their video games, as seen here left everything to be desired. Their Friday the 13th & Nightmare on Elm Street games both have a cult following of sorts, though, toy companies even have made action figures based on their versions of Freddy & Jason, so that's something.

still tho these game are superior to Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde

Ah, good old Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts...

The AVGN made LJN a cult classic 😂😂😂. His over the top reactions every time he realized it was an LJN game was hilarious. Miss him a lot.

BLATANTLY leeching off James Rolfe (AVGN) with this.

Laughing... Joking... (Deep Inhale) NUUUUUUMBNUUUUUUTS!!!

I saw the thumbnail and my first thought was that this was an avgn video... Why isn't this an avgn video

LJN= The EA of the 80's

this video is so useless since the AVGN already covered it all in detail

A Nightmare on Elm Street is a great game. Friday the 13th as well.

The one good LJN game I've ever played was Maximum Carnage.

I have a feeling that LJN got buttloads of generic booleg Nintendo games from China and just made slight texture model swaps and text translations and shipped it off to the rest of the world.

lol did avgn help.

Oh man, Bill & Ted.... I had that game when I was around 8 or so and I just could NOT grasp what you were suppose to do in the game. By some miracle one time I made it to the next area but it was pure dumb luck. Fast forward 20 years and I recently played an emulated version of it for nostalgic reasons. Also I figured "Hey, I'm older now, I'll be able to figure out how to get through the game that had stumped me in my childhood", but I was wrong. Not only are there zero instructions on what you are suppose to do but you have to find clues by JUMPING INTO BUSHES AND FENCES. Seriously, and there's plenty of them in every level. The fact that you can't walk on grass fucks you up in the game way more than this video lets on since most of the clues are off the road and you have to jump all the way to them without walking. Just an absolutely terrible, terrible, horrendous game. Here's AVGN's review on it if you want to see a more in-depth video for one of the worst games of all time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1A5B8fXp0aU.html

You just tore open wounds from my childhood that I thought were healed. Seriously, simply seeing the ljn icon was groan-inducing. And I definitely agree about BTTF being the most horrid of all.

to be honest LJN never made these games only publish them for exsample Who Framed Roger Rabbit was made by Rare yes same rare that made Donkey Kong Country and Conkers Bad Fur a Day

1:43 this narrator is a savage

LJN = The Asylum.

I had a lot of fun.with Beetlejuice and Nightmare on elm street... I was a kid... enjoyed the music and.beat them.both....aldo karate kid

"We apologize for any flashbacks" *Number 10 - "Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six"* Well, that was quick...

I remember me and my brother loving the Beetlejuice animated series and yet we could not understand why the game was so difficult and frustrating

I actually enjoy "Nightmare on Elm St" and "Friday the 13th" nes games and still play them on occasion. Once you understand how to play Friday the 13th it is actually quite enjoyable, to me anyway!

Some of these games were made by phenomenal developer Rare.

I wish we had internet in the 80s and rating systems for games, we had destroy LJN much earlier

In their defense, they also made the WWF games for the SNES, which were essentially my entire childhood

LJN is basically a company synonymous with the expression "This game sucks." It really doesn't require a Top 10 Worst list from WatchMojo.com for demonstration.

No Jekyll and Mr Hyde?!?!

This might become AVGN's favourite video. :D

Terminator for the SNES was the best of the 4. They didn't even show any scenes from that version here.

Reporter: What inspired you to make bad video games? LJN: Money.

I actually love Friday The 13th played it so much when I was a kid lol

AVGN brought me here

Mark, 5:9 Then Jesus asked him "What is your name?" And he replied "I am LJN, for we are many."

I crushed Karate Kid more times than I can remember. It wasn't that hard of a game, beeotches!

Watchmojo: damn i ran out of shitty games Avgn: i got u coverd B

It brakes my heard Roger rabbit was such a great film I doesn't deserve such a worse game

Watching this video I can only conclude that the people at +WatchMojo.com never actually played either Friday the 13th or Jaws as they were actually great games. (Jaws was BY FAR superior to Friday the 13th but in comparrison to other LJN games even Friday the 13th was a top notch) .Jaws especially it was an amazingly acccurate recreation of the movie, for the time period it was about as accurate as you could get in the 8 bit era, had a ton of tension, ans was difficult as anything else in its generation without being cheap about it. I think you NEED to rethink at LEAST the Jaws entry, +WatchMojo.com, an maybe actually try it this time before you pan it.

James Rolfe is still a legend

what about LJN best games?

You don't even know what a broken horrible game is until you tried to "play" Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde game. That game is 100% unplayable.

LJN, Laughing Joking Numbnuts, the bane of our existence!

For me LJN wasn't that bad, I really enjoyed the simpsons games LOL really specially Bart's nightmare, and Maximum Carnage, Spiderman Sinister Six (for SNES) were good too!

But remember... "THEY DID A GAME THAT´S NOT SHIT!", so, everyone can achieve redemption.

i honestly enjoy "jaws" and "nightmare on elm street" those 're at least two of the more playable LJN games, even though NOES is really hard to beat without a game genie

Fun fact: prior to that Dreamcast game's release, the LJN brand had been defunct for five years. Acclaim decided to bring it back just for that game.

“You take one look at that logo and you just know, there is no gold at the end of that rainbow. Because this my friend is the unholy stamp of death.” -AVGN

PLEASE MAKE A EA WORST GAMES LIST!!!!

EA is today's LJN

Ok Jaws for release??? That game was top notch back in the day.....

Wow. I honestly can't believe you guys did this. This is clearly a list that needed to be made, and you made it. I'm proud of you guys.

This is why exclusive licensing deals shouldn't be allowed.

Back to the Future 2 & 3 was a much worse game than the first NES game. Even though BttF was repetitive and silly, 2&3 was confusing, boring, and altogether asinine.

Didn't LJN do Maximum Carnage? That was actually good...

Haven't watched the video yet but I own Jaws an Friday the 13th...love them both lol

I only remembered playing Spiderman and X-Men from this list. I don’t recall any of the others... Interesting list y’all!

LJN stands for "Laughing Joking Numbnuts." "Purple for "Putrid gameplay, Blue for "Bad musical abominations," Green for Graphical farts and garlic, Yellow for Pisspoor lack of loyalty to source material, Orange for Orange you a f**king idiot?, and Red for High stress anger inducing masochism! Put it all together, you have all the colors of the s**t rainbow. Hurray LJN!" Also, "There's no gold at the end of that rainbow." - All 3 quotes from AVGN

pretty much all ljn games suck.

I'm early better make a joke...... ljn

YOU MISSED DR Jacal and mr hide

Purple for Putrid Gameplay, Blue for Bad Musical Abominations, Green for Graphical Farts and Garlic, Yellow for Piss-poor Lack of Loyalty to Source Material, Orange for Aren't You a Fuckin’ Idiot and Red for High-stress Anger-inducing Masochism. Put that all together, you got all the colors of the Shit Rainbow. Hooray, LJN.

Every Single LJN Game To Be Proclaimed As The "Worst" In Video Game History Will Be Included All Thanks To The Failure Of LJN As A Whole

Can't believe NFL wasn't on this list. Just... ugh. UGH.

ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Are you fucking kidding me? That's what I said when I saw number 10. Spider-Man is a great game for the NES. I'll be watching and commenting on every entry as I watch: 10: Spider-Man: Return Of The Sinister Six - I played through this game on a rom and I had a blast. I was very surprised at how fun it is. The mechanics are impressive. Really great NES game. 9. Jaws - I've only played a little bit of this game before but what I found was that it was creative. You go around hunting for Jaws and you have multiple battles with him while scuba-diving and exploring. You have to strategize and work on taking him down. Seems pretty cool and legit to me. 8. Spirit Of Speed 1937 - I'll give you that one. I haven't played it, but it looks like your typical piece of shit bland boring driving/racing game of that era (in the 2000s). 7. Beetlejuice 6. Who Framed Roger Rabbit 5. The Uncanny X-Men 4. The Karate Kid I haven't played these yet, but they all seem to have a decent and clever premise. They look like they could go either way. 3. Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Played through this on a rom and its not bad. Pretty good for an NES game. And you said how bad T2 was for Genesis... fuck you, asshole. It's one of the best games I've played for the Genesis. It's wonderful. The NES version is a very downscaled version of the Genesis/SNES versions and still fun. 2. Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure - Looks like it could go either way. Haven't played it. The dialogue/story seems pretty legit though. Honorable Mentions: Pictionary - never played it. A Nightmare On Elm Street - Really cool premise. You couldn't have asked for many more options for a better concept of a NOES game. It's not bad. A little boring after a while. But the premise and way they came up with the game is solid. Pretty creative. Alien 3 - haven't played this one. Seems like it would be fun though. Wolverine - could go either way Friday The 13th - I fucking love this game. An NES masterpiece. Substance, style. That music!! Atmosphere!! It's fun. You have to use strategy. It can get a little boring at times, but I always want to go back to it. I get the urge to replay it over and over. So much love for this game. I love how you have a whole campground to explore and have to frantically try to protect everyone while you strategize with the other counselors to kill Jason. But children are dying and the counselors are being taken down one by one as you frantically try to gain better weapons and pass them around while protecting what friends are left. I did beat this game once with a lone survivor in true Friday The 13th fashion. I beat it with the black guy. How's that for a twist ending? 1. Back To The Future - I actually dig this game. It's fun, creative, and thematically follows the film. It's hard as fuck though and that's what kinda hurts it. But for an NES game, challenge is not a bad thing. Back then, as a kid, before the internet, you had one game to play for days and weeks (maybe months). You wanted a game to last. You wanted to figure it out. You wanted to get good at it and master it. I had a blast when I did play this game, though it was really tough. Never did beat it. What I love about LJN games is the atmosphere and creativity in them. They are wonderful NES adaptations of their films/franchises. You usually have to think and strategize while immersed in their NES-style version of that movie world. They could have made them typical lazy pieces of shit like most other games where you just scroll left to right while jumping on things, but instead they are usually creative and you have to do different things with subtle thematic elements of their respective films strewn throughout. The games feel like dream versions of the films where everything means something to the film in an offhand way.

My bro been streaming LJN worst games and he's been struggled to finish those difficult video games. It still is. LJN = the worst company of all time.

I have a copy of Pictionary. The main problem I had with this game is you had to play it with friends or family. The single player had no AI opponents to play against. Even Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy on the NES had AI opponents.

That first Xmen game...the stuff of nightmares.

Love how you cite every single thing you talk about here. I would never had guessed Terminator 2 was distributed by TriStar Pictures. Like, whoa.

The LJN story is actually a bit sad to be honest. They actually made some smart business moves; it is just that they get overlooked by their crappy games.

"The spider man game (1992) was based on the animated series (1994)". That's some fine police work there, Lou.

3:25 Avgn explaining Ljn in one sentence

Jaws is actually pretty fun. Same with nightmare on elm street and Wolverine.

Spider-Man vs the kingpin was a classic.

The only saving grace for these games is their nostalgia and their "so bad they are good" feel.

Back to the Future was a great game!! Just really hard. I'll never forget the day I finally made it to the end with the DeLorean. I got so excited I slammed the table my little TV and NES were on. The TV started blinking...I never played it again smh

Damn i loved that Terminator game back when i had my first famiclone :D Was just too hard for me
