Redcurrie Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Here's a good Friday thread...what's the worst game for the 2600? My vote would go for Outlaw. I just hope that this cart came free in a package of cereal (bran would be appropriate) and that kids didn't spend their hard-earned money on it........

figgler Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Journey Escape is quite bad, though it has some nice visuals I guess. And what the phuck is with Hangman? Hangman is pure ass. I think the guy that gets hanged still has his umbilical cord attached or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Karate by far. Outlaw is one of the best 2-player games on the system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Games I hate (of the games I have played so far): Sorcerer, Fire Fly, Airlock, Freeway, Ghost Manor, Tax Avoiders, Pac-Man. [Oh yeah, I also hate the Swordquest games.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytol Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 My vote would go for Outlaw. I dunno. I just had a lot of stupid fun playing it with my brother in law. (One of his first 2600 outings.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bergbros Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 1. Skeet Shoot 2. Skeet Shoot 3. Skeet Shoot 4. Froggo Games 5. Mythicon Games 6. Swordquest Mindnumbing Impossible World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytol Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 6. Swordquest Mindnumbing Impossible World Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 6. Swordquest Mindnumbing Impossible World Agreed. Yes, Any Swordquest game would make an excellent candidate for worst game ever. As for Skeet shoot, I actually like the simplicity of this game. Why do so many people bash this game but leave Human Cannonball out of the equation? human Cannonball is just as simple as skeet shoot. (My open-ended question of the day not directed at anyone in particular). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Well we've had this discussion before .. but Lunar Lander on the B side of Starship really is the silliest 2600 demo to be called a game .. EVER! Math is not a game .. It's a computer quiz tool .. It is just a shame that Atari did not make it work with the keyboard controllers.

2600Lives Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 All of this and not one vote for E.T.? Wow. Seriously though, not many games reach the level of suckitude of the A-Team. And I gotta agree on Journey Escape, even though the game is pure ass, you just HAVE to love a game that plays a poorly rendered version of "Don't Stop Believin'" on the title screen!

Sheldon Sims Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 My vote would go for Outlaw. I dunno. I just had a lot of stupid fun playing it with my brother in law. (One of his first 2600 outings.) Yeah. I had a lot of fun playing Outlaw against my little sister. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Yeah, I have to cast a vote for the Swordquest games, because I spent a lot of time playing them back when I was a kid, trying to make some sense out of them. If I only knew back then that there was no logic to them! And scouring the comic books for clues! Ugh! And never finishing the series! Well, okay, maybe that was a good thing. Outlaw is a fun two-player game. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 i was always convinced that i was playing swordquest wrong and somehow there was a fun game hidden in one of the rooms. Amazing how optimistic children are isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVER! IMO there is no A side of Starship. But the worst is Skeet Shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 The Swordquest games remind me of the following quote that I have on one of my Quotes on Game Design pages : I personally object to episodic games where you play one screen of Space Invaders and one screen of Breakout and one screen of Galaxian and one screen of this and one of that. To me, that's not a game. It's just taking five bad games, putting them together, and calling them one good game. I'm philosophically against that. --Eugene Jarvis (Joystick Magazine, September 1982) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khryssun Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Definitly SKEET SHOOT. The worst game I ever played... I wonder if "play" is the good word for this game......euh....And I wonder if "game" is the good word for this thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 The best part of the Swordquest games is clearly the comic books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
