Videogames You Love To Hate

Thanks to FiringSquad for their editorial discussing why sheer wretchedness is (allegedly) a good thing in gaming. The author rhapsodizes: "Bad experiences define this hobby. As much as we all enjoy sharing love stories about great moments in gaming, we tend to play up the bad stuff even more. Even though I'll always have fond memories about racking up 400,000 points in Donkey Kong... while a crowd cheered me on... the time that Daikatana taught me the true meaning of sorrow will somehow always be more powerful." Which legendarily bad games have given you fondly hateful memories?

    Surely "All your base are belong to us!" means *something* around here - it starts off like this:
    In A.D. 2101
    War was beginning

    Captain: What happen?
    Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
    Operator: We get signal.
    Captain: What!
    Operator: Main screen turn on.
    Captain: It's You!!
    Cats: How are you gentlemen!!
    Cats: All your base are belong to us.
    Cats: You are on the way to destruction.
    Captain: What you say!!
    Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time.
    Cats: Ha Ha Ha Ha ....
    Captain: Take off every 'Zig'!!
    Operator: You know what you doing.
    Captain: Move 'Zig'.
    Captain: For great justice.

    And basically goes downhill from there...
