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?

Great Waldo Search

[SteWhite]

"The Great Waldo Search" for the Sega Genesis.

You know those books? (a.k.a "Where's Wally" in the UK)

They made a game of it. There were five levels. FIVE. The location of waldo was NOT randomised.

It took about 5 minutes to play through the thing, and that was it.

ZERO replay value, and a wad of wasted cash. Even the books had more "levels" than this, and cost about a tenth of the price.

Awful. Take off, fly over some "mountains" for 5 minutes, land. Sometimes youd have an engine fire while over the mountains, and have to hit the extinguishers. Which then put the fire out. That was it.

Ultima IX

[SnakeNuts]

For me Ultima IX was the biggest disappointment in recent years. Here was a game that not only promised to be a great game, it probably was a great game as well. It was just the complete foulup of the engine (AFAIK 3Dfx were already dying when they published the game) that made it such a senseless waste of my money. Not only was it unplayable, I really, really wanted to play it, because the other games had kept me entertained so well. I still weep at the thought.

Re:Ultima IX

[eggstasy]

Give it another shot. I've always been baffled as to why people hated Ultima IX, until someone told me when it had actually come out, and explained that either the engine was too slow or the graphics too ambitious for the time. But, since I started playing it years after it came out, I didnt experience any problems since my PC could very well compensate for the engine inefficiency.

Not nearly the worst game ever.

Re:I don't have to rate it...

[JWhiton]

Yeah, I thought of that too while I was reading this article. Especially the art in Cosmic Race, which was hideous even for first-generation Playstation games. I looked at the screenshot in the article that shows terrain and while it's nothing special, it at least shows what it's supposed to. If this game had come out 6 or 7 years ago people might've been interested in the graphics. But Cosmic Race would've looked horrendous no matter when it came out.

In Derek's defense, he still insisted he wasn't done with it. It's just that the publishing company got pissed and nabbed a beta version to shove in a box, without his permission.

Not that he didn't have enough time to finish up the damn game, but there you go.

Moderators, please give parent (+1, Funny). The author of the review linked to is quite obviously joking.
