Whats the worst arcade game you've ever played or heard of?

Im working on a webseries and I need some ideas for horrible games that people have played. I mean the horrible control games (IE: Double Dragon 3). Games like that, no necessarily beam em ups.. but you get the idea. I posted in the "off topic" section about my site so I wont post the info again to keep down the "spam" look of my posts. I'd really like to get to know everyone and help with some history of some games that i'll be working on.

Can I nominate Bezerk? I mean Robotron probably spoiled me, but come on, Bezerk just pisses me off!!!!

Beyond that, the first arcade game, Computer Space, belongs pretty far up there from Shari have heard, gameplay wise.
 
You may want to skewer me, but Journey is the worst I've ever played. I rank that up there ahead of Tron for the worst.

Really ... Berzerk ... Killing me here! :eek:

I don't remember the name of it but I think it was a 18 Wheeler game for me. Controls were horrible and the game was just boring!

I played Journey at the NW Gameroom show last year. I played so I could hear the music at the end. I got there... and it was broken.

What a letdown.
 
Dance Dance Revolution.

There is no way to play it without looking fruity or retarded; There is no way to look at it without going blind.
 
I would nominate Street Fighter 1 for worst controls, garbled speech, and crap music and sound. It would be an awesome game if those things were re-done. For the TG-16 the music and was fixed and was awesomely redone. But still had the other problems.

BTW. Berzerk has no reason to be nominated. :D
 
Shitty games that I have owned:
motorace usa
the pit
pitfighter

I have never played it, but I hear guardians of the hood is pretty bad.
 
Also Superman by Taito is pretty lame.

It's OK for a beat-em-up... but it's dumb. You can die entirely too easily. Your superman. It's like a Batman game where he can be easily thwarted by jaywalkers.

Agreed.

By contrast, Dance Central on XBOX with the Kinect is, IMO, brilliant.
