Terrible Games From A Terrible Year

1up is running an article written by the ever amusing SeanBaby, wherein he write about some of the worst games from the worst year in gaming. The year was 1984, and the U.S. videogaming industry was close to non-existence. What was released, then, left a lot to be desired. From the article: "Snacks N' Jackson - In this game, you play the part of a clown's head attached to a 4-foot tentacle neck. Your nose detaches itself from your face, and it's the rest of your clown face's job to keep it from bouncing through the window behind you. Also, you have to tentacle your head around to eat levitating breakfast foods. The strange name Snacks N' Jackson was a last-minute replacement of the original title, What Hitler Sees When He Closes His Eyes."

    Damn, and I thought the article was about my excellent karma along with a summary of my last 24 of 334 beautifully-written comments! :(

    Arguing about vi versus Emacs is like arguing whether it's better to make fire by rubbing sticks or banging rocks.
