Big Rigs Makes Play For Worst Game Of All Time

Thanks to GameSpot for its review of Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing for the PC, which it awards its worst score ever, 1.0/10, rhapsodizing: "Big Rigs is a game so astoundingly bad that it manages to transcend nearly every boundary put forth by some of gaming's absolute worst of the worst and easily makes it into that dubiously extraordinary category of being one of the most atrocious games ever published." The review goes on to explain some of that atrociousness, noting: "You can clip your truck right through every object on a race course in Big Rigs, from the biggest of houses and walls, right down to the smallest of lampposts. Furthermore, bridges evidently don't actually exist, despite the fact that you can see them - driving over any of them results in you sinking right through them." Although Big Rigs makes a valiant attempt, what videogame would you rate as the worst of all time?

    Snailus.
    A lightcycles clone.
    For the Apple II.
    In basic.
    By my dad.

    Framerate (and general game speed) was about one frame per minute. Graphics: monochrome ASCII.

    We took one look then went straight back to playing "Don't press the letter Q" on the Oric.

    It's a good thing for this game that it is bad enough to be called 'worst' only scoring a 1/10, because if it had been only sort of bad, say 3/10 then nobody would have ever heard of it. Hell, I even almost feel like playing it.

    In America, you play games at work.

    So... I read the review. I watched the videos... all I can say is... WOW.

    Dunno if it is the worst ever, but it shure puts up a good fight for the title!

    And for all those Dikatana fans at least it had clipping!

    I suppose I should be flattered in a way that the worst game uses a font I made when I was 16 (scroll down to "Prefix") for its badly made you're winner screen...
