These are the ten worst video games of all time, list in order from bad to worst, spanning systems as diverse as the Sega Genesis to the NES to PC games.

These games were so terrible that we would be shocked to find out they actually covered their production costs. Was Shaq ever really that popular, does he really need a video game that isn’t based on basketball? And who would ever be inspired by the career of a paper boy so much that they create a whole game about it? Maybe someone should make a game about sweeping or perhaps sleeping. That might be as entertaining. On the other hand some games are just to terribly conceived that even we don’t know what to make of them or who would ever enjoy them. Here is what we here at OW think are the absolute worst games of all time. And yes there are some Nintendo games on there, you jerks.

    Paperboy? I guess that's worse than Big Rigs and Superman 64?

    Haha, Shaqfu. I can tell just by the name that game must have sucked big time.

    ET must have been bad according to how the author explained it.

    whoa, ok i dont know about the NES version, but Joust was the shit. its still pretty fun, i played the updated version on XBLA and it was still fun. its not the greatest game ever but i wouldnt call it one of the worst either. the author of this list must suck at it, and its not surprising because its a hard game to master.

    also, where is Superman 64? that deserves to be in the top 5. i would personally replace Joust with Supes 64.

    I must at the very least disagree with Joust. For an ARCADE game, it was awesome to play as a kid.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling that the Joust hate was uncalled for. It's almost like the author hated the game because the concept was so simple. Growing up I remember spending hours upon hours playing Joust, my dad even participated in it.

    Haha, I actually made it to the second level in Ghosts n Goblins (at which point I was slaughtered without mercy).

    Joust was mediocre but there were far worse around.

    Ghosts n Goblins was awesome.

    That said, how about writing a relevant article? You know, not everyone still lives in the past xD

      Well, if you're going to do a worst games list where better to go? It would take a massive *bleep* up in current times to create a bigger mess than the terrible titles back then.

        True, but that doesn't make an article any more good. Just tweak the title to end with 'of this generation' and then you have the basis for a fresh and relevant (at least it'll be one of them) article instead of a nes-generation fanboys masturbation material.
