Time for you to show it!! :p
Worst tape I bought - cassette 50. Got it recently for a laugh.
how bad was it you ask? it was a tennis game and there was only the possibility to shoot the tennis ball straight...no crosses, no lobs nothing...it was incredibelly bad, not to mention the grafics where impossible to understand...
now that I think of it, some of the worst games I ever got where for Saturn...back then games magazines where not very popular in portugal, and the few that showed up would always give riviews like "it's brilliant when compared to what our rival system is selling"!
I almost bought this game when I was younger but about 10 people told me "NO! Don't do it", so I didn't guess I saved myself 1.99 cos' it is pretty dire.
But due to the cheap price and ever growing catalogue of budget titles back then it's very hard to put a worst you ever bought when there was so many turkeys available. I'd say technically the worst game I ever bought was Happiest days of your life, for the sole reason I switched it at the shop I bought it at on average once a week every week for about 6 months, because basically it wouldn't load. In the end the old guy who owned the shop took it off the shelf (I must've exhausted his entire supply of that game). However I did buy Star Wars Droids, which probably is one of the worst games ever. If not Sheepwalk, but I can't remember if I got that with my +3, so maybe I didn't pay for it (the music on side 2 of the tape was better than the game on side 1).
Gosh! such evil Saturn bashing :lol: Nah but seriously a lot of the early games on the Saturn were a little sub standard however some of the early games like a lot of consoles ended up being the best. I love my Saturn and it's the one machine I refuse to get rid of (I'll bring it back here to the states with me if I have to, I don't care if it won't work). However I will be the first to admit that a lot of the Saturns 3D affairs could be a touch ropey to say the least, but for 2D or Cartoon type games (The Streetfighter Alpha series, Golden Axe the duel, Dark Saviour, Dragon Force, Guardian Heroes, etc) the saturn was unrivalled and left a big sweaty turd on the Playstations doorstep :D
actually of all consoles Saturn is probably the one I have best memories of... if it wasn't for Saturn, I would have never played command and conquer, dragon force, world wide soccer, Torico, enemy zero, alone in the dark II, and even resident evil.
I loved it and sticked with the console untill no more games came out...
but for every torico (that was brilliant...at least disk one...disk two was actually to easy and disapointing) there was a "mansion of the hidden souls" (probably the easyest most pointless game I've played...) and many other crapp games that I was unlicky enough to buy...

The game itself wasn't too bad but the controls were awful, I wouldn't have had anything good to say about it if I'd paid 60 quid for it either though.
i hated nearly everything they did. pure 'graphics over gameplay'.
worst game I played (but didnt buy) was Superman. the one that looked like a c16 game. utterly awful.
Alien Kill for me too, though my dad bought it (for more than ?1.99)
Non Speccy, one of the early Motocross games on PSX (It was like riding round and round on a cake-stand. You could win the game by going forwards, then reversing over the finish line! Another bad one for me was, 'Lone Soldier.'
and, 'The Suffering' and 'Mashed' on PS2 (see chitchat for details)
Alien kill is brilliant compared to them.

The worst one overall I've ever bought or any system - Superman 64 (maybe the worst game I've ever played).
ha ha, dodn't that get a 5% mark in the mags or something.
For other machines, Rainbow Six on the Dreamcast stands out as a terrible purchase. The controls were awful and the game was just unplayable, but I got the impression that it probably was a decent game at some point before it was converted to Dreamcast with little or nb care at all.
me and some guys were having a sleep over once. so we all piled into the living room and set up our sleeping bags, and the guys whos house it was had never played turok decided to give it ago while we were all settling down to sleep, we woke up to see him finishing the last boss. he been playing it all night the looser.
i liked the game, it was just a wierd concept, a red indian hunting dinosaurs, not very believable.
I owned Twin Turbo V8 as part of the Codies CD compilation, and actually quite enjoyed it at the time. Must go back and see what it plays like in the cold light of day.
The worst I had bought for me was definitely Ah Diddums! What an unplayable pile of crap that was.
Non-Speccy purchases I'm struggling to think of, I've probably bought games I think I'll like, and are good games with good reviews, but I've never been able to get into them. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter on the 360 is one. It looks marvellous and is playable, but suddenly the difficulty goes through the ceiling and I can't be bothered. Says more about me than the game I suppose.
Genon was excellent! Still one of my all-time faves.
Worst one for me though was Strontium Dog - a complete waste of seven quid.
Although you did get a free copy of MCODER 2 if you knew where to look.
He he. I thought that might cause a bit of controversy. I'm aware that a lot of people do hold it in high regard, but I simply could never get into it. The curved mazes are interestingly done though.
'The banshee wails and nOHthing happens.'
It looked very spectacular in the magazine advert, but the scroll and playability were horrible.
Non-Speccy game: Nintendogs
Perhaps it's a good game, but I don't like "Sims" style games
Double Dragon was a huge letdown as was Guerilla War, i love those sort of 'Commando/Ikari' style games but thought Guerilla War, try as i might was bad
Nemesis another which was dire. Seemed to be many more crap games in the late 80's/early 90's sadly.
It says it in that game as well? Funny, I always remember the quote from Kevin Ayre's, Mystic Tower. Never played, 'The Devil rides in.' You learnin' evree daye.
