I'd have to go for WoW as the worst game ever due to the fact you have to pay to play and for some reason millions of people do.

Worst game i ever played was Toki by Taito on the Amiga but liscenced to Ocean who musthave done the port an really messed it up. What a steaming pile of shit it was in the end. I bet even the arcade original was atrocious. £16.99 they stung me for in 1991.

The McDonalds game for the megadrive has to be one of the worst games i've ever played. It was like an ultra dire copy of the sonic format...

underwater... I had toki.. it was actually pretty good with the trainers on the cracked version.. Flashback was pretty shite as it was far too hard.
True Crime: Streets of LA on the PS2 is the worst game i've played recently, bored and annoyed the crap out of me before i even figured out how to use it properly.
The worst game of all time, however, MUST be the public domain amiga game Super Skoda Challenge. Viewed from above, it was nothing but lines and symbols. Plus it was about Skoda 120Ls. Shadow Fighter on amiga, similarly crap.

Manhunt has got a shot at the #1 spot on my worst game I've ever played list. It was fucking dreadful, and only received any attention because of the graphic violence (which I suppose would appeal to spotty 12 year olds, but certainly aint my idea of mature gaming).

The worst game I ever played I didn't play because I gave up on it after a few minutes so it's hard to say what it would have been if you get my drift. There have been quite a few but I only really remember the games I played a fair bit of.
The worst game I played to the end was probably Prey, I just hated all that pointless red indian shit and then the ghastly short-arsed squaw at the end promised a sequel. Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Actually now you mention it i had Batman for the amstrad pcw with the green screen. It was REALLY shit. It pains me to think alan fucking sugar ever squeezed a penny from my tighly clenched fist. But he did. So i am partly to blame.

I used to love that game! Was pretty hard though, but not as bad as another world the prequel. Now dragons lair was a god aweful game, amazing graphics for the day but that was about it.

Manhunt was a bit repetitive, and it was just a development tool for the GTA SA gameplay. After suffocating your 87th baddie, it was pretty boring...
True Crime was shite too.

1942 for the nintendo... an endless number of levels that would take several hours of continuous play only to see the game conclude by spelling out congratulations across the screen... That ending ruined the entire game for me

Nightbreed on the amiga was absoulte toddlagash, used to go thru so many joysticks doing the highlyskilled move of shaking it left to right as fast as you could, kids today don't know there born with there xboxs and that.
Favourite games were Rainbow islands, cannon fodder, frontier, wings, settlers, gods to name a few. Still got my amiga, tried using it once a few years back it's like alien technology to me now, I used to be such a wiz on it

Dragon's Lair, got to add this pile of unplayable SHIT to the list.
Released to much fanfare in 1989 it was the the let down of the decade.
At points you had to load an entire three and a half inch floppy for less than three seconds of uncontrollable gameplay. Awful in every single way.

Worse game I can remember was 'Sentinal' on the speccy 1st gen 3D monochrome shash. Pre-'Driller'. Could never make head nor arseholes of it. C&VG said its was the nuts, but I never got it.
That's another one too - 'Survival' came free with the 48k rubber keyed speccy along with Horace goes skiing, Chess and Frogger. Had a cool picture of an eagle on the box but was actually some unfathomable strategy puzzle cock - well disappointing. On 2nd thoughts - yep, survival is the biggest pile of I can remember... and that's saying something.
Loads of dodgy games from that era that I played to bits anyway...

i remember one year,around christmas CVG reviewed chase hq ,by taito.
it was converted on to all the old formats we know and love,by ocean.
they gave all the conversions glowing reports,including the amiga version,which i had high hopes for because of the batman (1989 tim burton ) movie tie in they had done previously, the car sections in that were great.
and yes the amiga version of chase hq was utter rubbish capturing none of the 'thrills and spills' of the arcade version.
terrible jerky pile.....
altered beast is great - "rise from your grave!"
had to get the arcade and md versions..

id forgotton about the conversion us gold did of the capcom arcade game,strider.
it was in a tiny screen and half of that was just static screen filler the rest was purely awful.
christmas was saved that year by the arcade being relatively close......
