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.
