The 20 Worst NES Games of All-Time

[Kugyince]

Of all the games that inexplicably received the Nintendo Seal of Approval, these 20 stood out as the biggest mistakes. I don't know if the game making people were the nephews of the eccentric billionaire in charge of handing out the gold approval seals, or if Nintendo just didn't bother to check if the games sucked. All I know is that these 20 games are about as fun as swallowing bug-flavored glass. For each one, I'll give a brief description of exactly why it's bad then rate the Graphics and Fun on their own personal scale of one to 10. But you'll notice really fast that they all score horribly low, and these ratings are just excuses for me to make fun of more specific areas of the game.

[samejamesbond]

No Action 51? or Cheetahmen II?
I'm suprised.

[Slime Slayer]

Action 52 dummy, and neither of those titles received a seal of approval.

[samejamesbond]

Thanks for the correction. I guess I really am forgetting that terrible game, thank goodness.

[Slime Slayer]

Mighty Bombjack
Athena
Giligan's Island
Legend of kage
Bad street brawler
Tag Team Pro wrestling
These games were all decent enough.

[Kugyince]

No love for Renegade Steven?

[RU Joe]

Meh.
You can only cruise down Main Street so many times.
Sometimes, sometimes ya gotta have some cowbell, baby!

[Slime Slayer]

No love for Renegade Steven?

Yeah Renegade too I spose, I believe my quote from the other day was "surprisingly fun for such an overall crappy game"

Actually I used to to play m.u.s.c.l.e. (wrestle) more than most of the other games on 31 on 1.

So here's an updated list:

Mighty Bombjack
Athena
Giligan's Island
Legend of kage
Bad street brawler
Tag Team Pro wrestling
M.U.S.C.L.E
Renegade

[Kugyince]

Total Recall tried so hard to be a cool game. It's a shame.

[Dudebro]

I like Legend of Kage but I guess I can see how it's not that awesome.

[samejamesbond]

http://bythelbs.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/morecowbell3.jpg

Yes!
We do need more cowbell.

[Kugyince]

I like Legend of Kage but I guess I can see how it's not that awesome.


Yeah, but are their ~700 official NES (+PAL) games better than Legend of Kage?

[Dudebro]

I guess that's debatable. I think it's a cool game and I wouldn't even consider it for a worst list but as we all know this is about opinion.

[AVGNJr1985]

Transformers on the famicom is the worst.

[DrunkN]

I guess that's debatable. I think it's a cool game and I wouldn't even consider it for a worst list but as we all know this is about opinion.
I agree. I think it beats Kung Fu to be honest.

[Dudebro]

I agree DN. I like Kung Fu and it's a classic but the game itself is repetitive and kind of boring.

[Winnebagel]

I agree. I think it beats Kung Fu to be honest.

I agree. I think it beats Kung Fu to be honest.

Really? That's interesting. I have a hard time playing Legend of Kage mainly because I find the graphics to be really really ugly and repetitive. I haven't played it all the way through, so maybe the game gets better.

I like Kung-Fu, but some of it may be nostalgia since it's one of the first NES games I ever played. I do think the NES version smokes the original arcade one.

In the poll, I voted for Bad Street Brawler as the worst game since it's general Pepto Bismol look makes me want to vomit.

[Demon-Mask]

Bible Adventures is horrible. The gameplay is generally unpleasant, the graphics were pretty bad, and I think that the Bible should be kept separate from gaming.

[Winnebagel]

Bible Adventures is horrible. The gameplay is generally unpleasant, the graphics were pretty bad, and I think that the Bible should be kept separate from gaming.

I never played that one, so I didn't vote for it. I did play Joshua's Adventure which I kind of like, but that's the only Wisdom Tree game I have played beside Spiritual Warfare (whcih is terrible).

[samejamesbond]

The best Wisdom Tree game was Super Noah's Arc 3D.
That game was awesome.

[Dudebro]

You misquoted me WB. :teeth:

[Winnebagel]

You misquoted me WB. :teeth:

Good point. I double quoted the same quote didn't I?

Here's what it should have said:

Kung Fu is such a classic. The way the same 4 levels repeat over and over forever makes be excited every time.

Unlike Legend of Kage, I always look forward to a Kung Fu play each day. ;)

Was it really in 3D? If so, that might be worth a play just for that.

[Dudebro]

Don't get me wrong WB, neither game is very good. Kung fu just sucks a little more imo. ;)

[Tails]

Kung Fu rocks.

[DrunkN]

Kung Fu rocks.
Have you played them both? If you have I don't mean to insult you but Legend of Kage kicks Kung Fu in the stones imo.

[Winnebagel]

Don't get me wrong WB, neither game is very good. Kung fu just sucks a little more imo. ;)

I hear you. Both games are kind of outdated now. I have a sentimental place in my heart for Kung Fu, though. I put it in the same class as Donkey Kong where it's the same thing over and over, but it holds nostalgic memories for me.

[Kugyince]

Total Recall is the only game one the list that is impossible to complete without cheating due to bad programming so it gets my vote.

Deadly Towers and Athena are favorites of mine and I also like Legend of Kage, Super Pitfall, and Renegade.

I think that the Bible should be kept separate from gaming.

I think gaming should be allowed to approach any subject matter with any specific stance on that matter it wishes.

[jim5cents]

I think gaming should be allowed to approach any subject matter with any specific stance on that matter it wishes.

Agreed. Video games have become a media medium which should be afforded the same priviledges as film, television, print, internet, and radio. Nothing should taboo anymore.

[Winnebagel]

I think gaming should be allowed to approach any subject matter with any specific stance on that matter it wishes.

I agree with that. I don't care if the game is based on Kung Fu Jesus beating up tax collectors, Budduh Rock (ala Chuck Rock only starring Budduh and his magical belly), or a basketball game starring Allah (Allah Oop anyone?). If the game is good I will play it. Censorship sucks in all forms.

[Demon-Mask]

While I agree censorship sucks, I don't think parents should use video games to trick children into having a specific viewpoint on religion, politics or whatever.

Ah well, so long as a game is good, it really doesn't matter what it is about.

[Kugyince]

Only misguided censorship "sucks". By misguided I mean censorship for the sake of censorship itself.

[Demon-Mask]

Censorship for the sake of censorship is bull. Some things that get censored with a "legitimate reason" don't even make sense. You can say the word 'crap' on television, but not another word with the same meaning and the same connotation.

[Kugyince]

You can say the word 'crap' on television, but not another word with the same meaning and the same connotation.

That's a good example as it encompasses both good and bad forms of censorship.

In some cases it is censored only to appease FCC regulations. The FCC regulating what may be broadcast on public and private airwaves is strictly a bad form of censorship.

In most cases though, such as cable television, it is done with an effort to cast the widest net available to attract viewers. This is censorship via consumer purchasing power and is a good form of censorship.

RU forums falls in the later form as we are censoring ourselves by choice to obtain a wider market rather than being mandated to do so.

(Blech, I sound like a friggen' capitalist. :sweat:)

[samejamesbond]

What you're a communist?

[Kugyince]

What you're a communist?

Registered voter of the Socialist Workers' Party.

[Dudebro]

Did you guys hear about this?
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/14/business/media/14indecent.html
A federal appeals court said-
regulations barring the use of “fleeting expletives” on radio and television violated the First Amendment because they were vague and could inhibit free speech.The appeals court emphasized that it was not precluding federal regulation of broadcast standards. “We do not suggest that the F.C.C. could not create a constitutional policy,” the court said. “We hold only that the F.C.C.’s current policy fails constitutional scrutiny.”And from a first amendment scholar-
“This decision demands of the F.C.C. that it regulate with precision and not use general terms like ‘indecency,’ ”It seems that people are sick of the vague and arbitrary rules set up by the FCC. Maybe this will have an effect on games as well.

[Demon-Mask]

(Blech, I sound like a friggen' capitalist. :sweat:)

Why would any ever want to sound like that?

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

I'm pretty sure that even if the FCC standards change, there will be some degree of censorship, the kind Ten describes as good, the kind for the purpose of having a larger audience, not strict mandated censorship.

The FCC is too extreme about their rules though.

[gamingrocks]

I think Predator is the worst nes game. It sucks.

[Normdogg]

This is a topic of the worst nes games and it doesn't even mention Hydlide? That has to be THE worst of them all, but maybe it's just so bad that nobody mentioned it on purpose.

Here's some gameplay:
YouTube- Hydlide 9:07.32

[ZedIsDead]

Hydlide has nothing on Cheetah Men II.

[Tails]

CM2 rocks.

[Demon-Mask]

CM2 rocks.
If it would have been finished, it could have been good, but it wasn't so it isn't.

[Tails]

It is good.

[samejamesbond]

How?

[Tails]

Read my review here. :p

[samejamesbond]

I have.

[Tails]

Explained there I think.

[DrunkN]

Explained there I think.
You explained you liked the one song because it was popular in Japan if I remember.

[Tails]

I like how you can freely move, even if a bug screws you over. I like the every 2 levels new cheetahmen theme. Like the mario coin thing too.

[br26]

Urban Champion for me. It's not on this list and I can't see why. It's pretty lame and boring...just a bunch of punching people and avoiding potted plants.

[Normdogg]

Urban Champion was alright to me, but I would understand the anger if someone bought the game for $50.00. It's a good game for scores, nothing more.

[Winnebagel]

Urban Champion was alright to me, but I would understand the anger if someone bought the game for $50.00. It's a good game for scores, nothing more.

I don't hate Urban Champion, but it's true there isn't much to it. As I recall, I didn't buy the cartridge until I could pick it up for $1.99 . That was about right. ;)

[Slime Slayer]

I thought it was pretty cool, It got a lot of action on my 31 in 1 cart. Doubt I would play it for more than 5 minutes today though.

[Ace.of.Spades1]

where's "wally bear and the no gang"? even the name makes me not want to play it.. "Dragons lair" was also pretty bad i must say...

[samejamesbond]

I forgot about Dragon's Lair, but Deadly Towers was an aweful game too.

[Demon-Mask]

I don't get why a few of these games are listed as the worst of the NES:
Fist of the North Star
The Legend of Kage
X-Men

They may not be the best, but they certainly weren't the worst.

[samejamesbond]

Was X-Men that overhead that made you have a partner with a terrible AI with annoying
enemies attacking fromevery direction?

[Demon-Mask]

Yeah, it was. I didn't find it all that bad personally.

[samejamesbond]

I found it fustrating myself.

[Dudebro]

I've played Fist of the Northstar and it sucked out loud.

[Demon-Mask]

I know it isn't all that great, but it's still not amongst the worst on the NES.

[Dudebro]

I dunno about that it's boring, ugly and doesn't seem to follow the story.

[Chuck Norris]

Back to the Future...

The crap music and the crappier gameplay made for many angry nights >:(

[Demon-Mask]

I dunno about that it's boring, ugly and doesn't seem to follow the story.
Same thing with Bad Dudes a game which people actually liked.


Also, I am more confused as to why The Legend of Kage is on here. That game was awesome.

[Dudebro]

Same thing with Bad Dudes a game which people actually liked.

I only like Bad Dudes because I find it funny and I played it as a kid.
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091211184728/dudebro/images/f/f9/Dudebroscreenshot-Jocchan.png

[Demon-Mask]

You really like that bearded guy picture, don't you?

But yeah, Bad Dudes is kind of funny, and it gets points for having Karnov in it.

[Dudebro]

You really like that bearded guy picture, don't you?Can you blame me? This is a character named Dudebro who is known for his luxurious beard. It's almost like someone from here used my RU alter ego as inspiration for the character. They only "created" the character in 09 or so, I've been using this name long before that and my beard has been a topic of discussion for a while. Makes you wonder right?

[Normdogg]

Legend of Kage is good, imo, but it's a love it or hate it type of game. Bad Dudes is another game of that type. Fist of the North Star would be alright if they fixed it. Howver, my opinion still stands for Hydlide as the worst.game.ever.

[Ridley]

You gotta remember that the original article of this was posted back in 2003, you know when AVGN didn't exist.

These are games HE fondly remembers since he was a writer for EGM (the only good one) I really doubt he heard of "Wally Bear and the No Gang" or "Action 52"

[Slime Slayer]

Bad dudes is a great game, legend of kage's only redeeming quality is the fact you can fly through the trees witch is fun for awhile. Hydlide is absolutely horrendous, I remember when I was a kid looking at how epic the box was then i rented it and it took about 30 seconds for me to dub it as absolute garbage.

[elrod21]

Dragon's Lair for NES definitely would be my pick. You don't know true pain until you try and get anywhere in that game. :P

[preach43]

back to the future. Is the worst game ever.

[Slime Slayer]

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The packaging (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Video_game_packaging) of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing states that the objective of the game is for the player to "[...] deliver illegal cargo, with cops (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Police) chasing [them]"; however, in actuality, there are no police in the game or, seemingly, any objectives to complete.[1] (http://retrouprising.com/#cite_note-gamespot-0) The packaging also states that the player must "race trucks across the country (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/United_States_of_America)" while delivering such cargo; however, although computer-controlled opponent vehicles do indeed appear in the game, they have no artificial intelligence (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Artificial_intelligence), and never move from their starting position.[2] (http://retrouprising.com/#cite_note-VideoSift-1)
There are technically no obstacles for the player to negotiate in Big Rigs, as the truck may freely be driven on and off roads without any loss of traction, up or down 90° slopes with no loss or gain of speed, through structures such as buildings and trees (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Collision_detection), simply falling right through bridges (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Bridge), and even out of the boundaries of the map into an endless grey void. When the player's vehicle is put into reverse, it can accelerate indefinitely, but the truck will halt instantly when the reverse key is released.[3] (http://retrouprising.com/#cite_note-gamespot_video-2)
Though there appear to be five courses from which to choose, only four are playable. The fifth map, titled "Small Town Road", does not function and selecting it simply crashes (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Crash_(computing)) or quits the game.[1] (http://retrouprising.com/#cite_note-gamespot-0)
Upon completion of the race, the game displays a large three-handled trophy (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Trophy) and the now infamous text "YOU'RE WINNER !" [sic (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Sic)][1] (http://retrouprising.com/#cite_note-gamespot-0) The game occasionally fails to distinguish between whether the player is starting or finishing the race when they pass through the starting point, and so this congratulatory screen may appear within seconds of starting a game, ending the race before it even begins.

Retro Uprising - Arcade - Where's Waldo? (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/4569/)


THIS.

This game wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the showstopping oversight by the developers in that the subway level can spawn an impossible maze. On hard difficulty this happens 99% of the time.

I challenge anybody to beat this game on hard difficulty.

*RAGE EDIT*

Figures that I'd manage it ON MY FIRST TRY AFTER POSTING THAT POST. WTF.
*goes off to master submission thread*

[Winnebagel]

I hate Bad Street Brawler. That game's controls are not only broken, but the graphics and color pallette are so ugly they look like either the baby shower from hell or a game created by the makers of Pepto Bismol. :doh:

[elrod21]

Oh I agree Bad Street Brawler sucks. Would you believe they ported that game to the PC as well. And all the lame captions between the levels didn't improve things either. :p

[Slime Slayer]

I find it fun to play though, kinda like a bad movie that is fun to watch.

I'm suprised that Deadly Towers has only 1 other vote than mine, that game is unplayable.
The only good thing is that you have prostitutes as currency (no I'm not kidding)

At least all of the other games have segments that can be played.
And they don't have looping music that is burned into your skull.

Maybe he meant Bomberman? That game is pretty damn dull.

[Winnebagel]

I would guess he is talking about Retro Uprising - Arcade - Mighty Bomb Jack (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/2456/) "Mighty Bomb Jack".

[Thunderlips]

Is it a good thing or bad thing that I had 8 of these games. Mastered em all :loser:

[RU Joe]

I saw Conan on a list up there - and deserving to be.
Oh, man was I disappointed the first time I saw that game .. and I had realistic expectations of it too.
This is supposed to be Conan The Barbarian, a hero worthy of his own series of great games and they totally ruined it.

I've beaten Deadly Towers before.

Did you beat it on Retro Uprising? Get this....I actually wasted my money buying this little :poop: back in the day and I still was'nt able to beat it due to me endlessly wandering in circles! :bulgy-eyes:

X-men for the NES was awful terrible I wonder if anyone actually beat that game

[Slime Slayer]

I think Ten said he beat it before, he rented it for the weekend if my memory serves correctly.

[alohaex]

He did?! Is that true Ten you actually beat it wow you'll be the only one I bet.

[Kugyince]

No, I think it was on either EVG or onVGP.

It's not about difficulty, I just like the game. If you're enjoying a game you have a greater chance of beating it than someone who hates it.

I also like on this list:
Athena
Super Pitfall
Renegade
Chubbt Cherub
Legend of Kage
Heores of the Lance

I voted for Total Recall.

[Xlembros]

i voted other because Silver Surfer isn't in the list the game is friggen impossible. for one everything 1 hit kills you..and then there is the top down vertical scrolling levels which give you no space to maneuver let alone attack enemies..

[CrispyChicken]

Retro Uprising - Arcade - Silver Surfer - Highscores (http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/3560/scores/)

It actually is possible. Someone at RU beat it lol.

[fungusman]

Silver Surfer has one of the best songs ever made though. The game isn't half bad either, I beat it :sidefrown:using emulation rewind:face:.

Welcome to RU Xlembros. If you wanna try a really bad game here you go-
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Superman (http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/11710/)

I don't really think Bible Adventures and other bootleg games technically should be on the list. BARBIE was horrid, yet got the seal of approval :P

Welcome to RU Xlembros. If you wanna try a really bad game here you go-
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Superman (http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/11710/)

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/175/889/oh%20god.pngoh god no!..lol though I've never played it (at the moment my pc can't handle the N-64 Emu)but I've seen reviews and game play..

[Dudebro]

I could be wrong but I believe Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is actually a broken game and that's what makes it so hard.

I love that pic, makes me smile. Don't worry about not being able to play Superman64, you aren't missing anything by just reading/watching videos. I played it when it first came out, a rental, and it was so bad it made me mad.

[Scratch]

I went with Super Pitfall because I wanted that game to be so much more for some reason. I really don't think a lotof people would agree, it's just for me I was hoping for a more "super" upgrade to one of my fav Atari games.

[Slime Slayer]

@DB, I was trying to master here on R.U. awhile back for the lulz, I made it to the last stage, and died like 2o times. The gameplay basically boils down to trying to barrel your way through a stage and just cross your fingers, the last stage was too much to barrel through though. @Scratch, it is indeed a shame, Pitfall was an instant classic.

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

Anyone else experience problems with the site? It won't let me put a space between my @DB and my @Scratch.. plus spoilers don't seem to be working.

[death_nation]

Athena ,Renegade, Fist of the North Star, Bad Street Brawler ,Mighty Bomb Jack,The Legend of Kage and M.U.S.C.L.E.? Seriously some of these games aren't even bad as what i had listed.

[Vurpa]

Other...Dragons lair

I can't believe you left out Castlequest!

[Slime Slayer]

I can't believe you left out Castlequest!

Whats wrong with Castlequest? Aside from the bad graphics, I find it to be decent game.

[ZedIsDead]

I can't believe you left out Castlequest!

Castlequest may be incredibly annoying and mediocre, but it's no Karate Champ. If the controls were a little bit better, it would be a solid game.

[Barra]

Kinda on topic...

It's one of those titles that's definitely not worth picking up, but does anyone else care for the Taboo the Sixth Sense OST? Personally I think it's one of the better ones on the NES.

Taboo: The Sixth Sense (NES) Soundtrack - Stereo - YouTube

Listen to some of that with headphones, gud stuff.

Shame the tunes were specialized for a crappy tarot card game though.

[phoenixlnj]

I would have to say Bible Adventures with X-men coming in second. I haven't played Bible Adventures but I don't really see the appeal as far as fun. This seems to be a niche market that didn't grow and as a game would seem to fall short. X-men was bad as far as playing the 4-player arcade game then expecting to see that level of action on the SNES version when it came out. It was a BIG let down, but I attempted to play it. It is bad.
