What were the worst games to come out on the Amiga?!

[Velcro_SP]

I agree with the person who said Double Dragon was awful. I think Baal was bad. But it was an EARLY Amiga game so I'll cut it some slack.

Barbarian was bad (not the one with the headchopping action, the other one).

Truly awful games:

Hard Drivin' - BAD BAD BAD!  My favorite arcade racing game of ALL TIME, reduced to a hardened pile of crap thanks to horrible conversion and idiotic design.  Just braking and accelerating with the mouse buttons were difficult!  Wah.  I can't wait for MAME to get the original arcade hardware emulated.

Stun Runner - Even worse!

Count Duckula - No surprise.

Bill Elliot NASCAR - No concept of physics, whatsoever.

All Dogs Go to Heaven - It would make kids think about heaven, all right.

Lombard Rally - Awful controls.  There seemed to be a lot of racing games with no sense of inertia.

Nevermind - I could NEVER find out how to play it!

Amnios - Slow as HELL.  Definately did not deserve the glowing reviews.  But, hey, Psygnosis was God back then.

I do have a few nominations for lovably awful titles:

Cellica GT Rally - So awful, it was pretty funny to play, actually.  The windsheild wipers were really cool.  It would hardly ever boot, though.  

Gridstart II - So totally pointless and even MORE frustrating than Pole Position, but I laughed like crazy when the cars blew up and haybales scattered all over the screen.

Double Dragon - Hysterical!  The bad guys made vomiting sounds when they died!  Double Dragon 2 was impossible to play, but almost as funny.  Sadly, I can't get my DD2 disk to boot, anymore.

Garfield's Winter Tail - Lame game, but the music was great, and I rather liked the ice skating.  I lost my disk, though.  I hear other Garfield games caused the apocalypse.

Aww, cmon, harddriven was funny though, When you went off the loop and headed straight upwards ,and then went off the loop, and then it accelerated like crazy, then the crappy explosion sound.  :-D  :-D  :-D

HEHEHEHEHE  ;-)

lemmings sucked  :-o

(Yes, I AM only joking  :-D )

Sim City 2000 - you could run the game faster by emulating a Mac and uing that version.

Championship Manager 2 - dreradful conversion

and a game that probably nobody has played was 'Fantasy Football" - I could have wrote a better game in Amiga Basic
 :-)

[Eniodis]

What about 'ARGHH'  !?... You were a giant who had to destruct villages by throwing flames like  a dragon !...

And don't forget 'Dynasty war'

Cedric
Testament

I think it was called Baraticus (psygnosis) very early CRAP game.

According to that website mentioned earlier in this thread (forgotten the name of it), Tales From Heaven is the 3rd worst game ever, beating Rise Of the Robots.

It wasn't that bad! Very very poor, but not bile-inducing.

I had to join this BBS just to reply to this thread!

I worked for Sweet 16 at SCI - a Seattle area retailer specializing in computer games - from 86-90, and then for various game developers after that.  I have seen a lot of games.  I'm sure you folks have too!  But have you ever seen a game for the Amiga called:
"Mafdet and the Book of the Dead"?

It is, in my opinion, the worst game ever produced for the Amiga.  I don't think I will get too many of you to agree with me, becuse I'd bet most of you have never played it.  See, this game was soooo bad, that no sane person would have bought it, just based on the packaging and screenshots alone.  Basicly I'm saying that this game was too bad to even bother booting up, just to verify it's badness.

So why did I have it? At out SCS franchise SCS (Software Centre in Southcenter for those of you in Seattle who might remember) we bought one of every game from every distributor., to compete with importers.

On the subject of bad games,  someone mentioned "Last Action Hero".  
I still have the review from the July 94 issue of the UK magazine "Amiga Power" up on my wall.  It's a funny review.  They gave it 3%, which basicly means Graphics - 1% (has graphics), Sound 1% (has sound), and Playability 1% (boots up).  They mention that you can defeat the game by simply holding (or taping) down the fire button.

heh heh, which one was that? i steal a lot of them from other forums, and they all end up in my pictures directory, sometimes i steal them from amiga.org and then don't realise  :-D

[Linchpin]

Also people. Please dont forget All dogs go to heaven. lol!

I HATED Nightbreed also. Yuk

[restore2003]

The worst game i have ever bought is "Obliterator" To buy a game because of a cool cover is not always the best thing to do  :-(

[Cyberus]

For me - Carrier Command
I was very young admittedly, but I couldn't work out what the #### was going on

[darksun9210]

yeah carrier command was one of my first games could i figure it out? pffft. i could launch a plane, fly it about and die....

arrrrgh was a quality game! running around eating people,  buring down houses and eating giant hamburgers. then fighting for the egg thing and that crappy "ug ug ugugug" music when you won the fight. great laugh :-D still play it today.
