6 – Superman (Nintendo 64)
Admittedly I find all the Superman games to be deserving of a spot on a worst video games ever list, but Superman 64 shines above the rest. The entire game involved flying through rings, saving pedestrians, and flying through more rings — if you’re a fan of flying through rings then this game is right up your alley. The game world is riddled with ‘kryptonite fog’ which is essentially a tired excuse for the Nintendo 64 being unable to render anything close to a Metropolis.
The game’s producer was interviewed and said licensing issues prevented them from using some of his powers and even showing him beating people up. “The final is not even 10% of what we intended to do,” he said, “but the licensor killed us”. What we’re left with is a Superman game where you can’t even really be Superman — you do get rings though!
5 – Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing (PC)
Welcome to the semi truck racing game with absolutely no collision detection, meaning every building you see or barrier in your way is no issue because you can simply drive through it. You can drive off the side of the road and just keep going through hills until the game map ends and then keep going into infinite space — I like to think developers made it this way so you can escape this dreadful abomination of a video game. The graphics were beyond saving and textures had a habit of popping in and out as you played, nothing about this game is remotely fun except the fact you can use the game disc as a frisbee.
