And to beat you all right now : E.T. on Atari 2600

/thread
It is so cliche to label E.T. as the worst game ever made. A few issues ago Game Informer ran an article about movie games and mentioned that due to licencing problems, the developers of E.T. only had three weeks to make the game. I think that makes it a marvel of invention rather than a disaster.

Also, I liked the original Jaws game for the NES, but the newer Xbox one was terrible.

The Ghostbusters game for the NES was fun untill you got into the building and had to deal with the never ending staircase.

The most dissapointing movie game to me was Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddlers Green. I saw adds for other games based off of the seires but I never played them. Land was such a bad game, I have no desire to play any of the others either.

Didn't E.T. sell over a million copies? With that said though, Atari made over 7 million of the cartrages which was even more than Atari2600's out on the market at the time. It wasn't that it didn't sell well, it was that they completely overstocked the game AND it was a crappy game.

Or I could be completely wrong, whatever.

LoL. I'm surprised that so many people actually REMEMBER the ET game on the Atari 2600. Man, that game is old! I suppose, however, that the fact that it's remembered by so many people is a testament to just how TERRIBLE the game was. xD

On another note, the Superman games are all pretty bad.

Bratz games need to die.

Disney games need to be burned.

Jumper was terrible.

Can't really think of much else, at this point. =\

Since a lot of the worst have been listed, I'll go with a more obscure one: Bram Stoker's Dracula for the SNES, although it had a version that was equally as bad on pretty much everything that could play a video game at the time. It counts because it was based on the 1992 movie, not the novel.
Good God, I thought I was the only one who'd suffered through that game. We should start a therapy group.

Tsuki Tanaka, you're quite wrong, most old Disney games were great, except maybe Fantasia, but Castle of Illusion, World of Illusion, the Magical Quest series, Mickey Mania, Cold Shadow and even Toy Story 2 were great and fun games (what ? I liked Toy Story 2). And what about Rescue Rangers on NES ? I liked it too.
And what about Aladdin on SNES and the Genesis version ?
I'll even concede the Lion King game had very good aspects.

Although I agree the Disney Skateboarding game, and their latest movie tie-ins suck (Enchanted on NDS is an incredibly bland game, for instance). What's wrong with these people ?
A Bug's Life was not such a horrible platformer, but was more of an introduction to 3D platforming than a really challenging game...
Or maybe by Disney games you mean Kingdom Hearts, which, while having an interesting gameplay, are horribly gay and quite retarded in more than one regard...

Never played it, but I heard only horrible comments. Same for the Warlock game (based on the retarded movies). And don't get me started on the Friday the 13th NES game, or Nightmare on Elm Street...
If only in Friday the 13th you were playing Jason... could have been Manhunt's great-granddaddy...

Superman 64, if that counts.

As one reviewer put it, "The only positive is the game boots up."
I don't think that game was based on a movie.

But I actually liked that game.
I never really played it a lot, but I do have a save about halfway through the game.

Ivoryagent> no you didn't. And I rest my case, not mentioning Sora has CLOWN SHOES, he's wearing a variation on Mickey's classic costume, and that is retarded.

Flour> as mentioned, Superman64, aside from being shit (on a steek), is a license from the 1994 (?) Superman cartoon.

I would agree if Superman 64 was not a cartoon license, but you can invoke Superman Returns, which sucks godly balls...
Hey, whatever happened to Superman on the Atari 5200??? They just didn't learn the first time. And don't knock Rescue Rangers...that game was frickin AWESOME!!

Apart some really hard and frustrating stages, I think Rescue Rangers was a definite must-have on the NES, no matter if you are 8 or 30.

Never heard much of the 5200, to be fair... Don't even remember if they tried to market it in France...

Plenty of movie games have been bad (and Fight Club? Turning a movie about nihilism and male gender identity into a cheap Mortal Kombat clone? REALLY?!), but I'd have to say that when a game is pointed to as a causative agent for the collapse of an entire industry, that game must by default win the argument for "worst movie game ever."

The mere fact that they were able to make a game at all given six weeks' development time, even in 1982, has to be considered but this does not excuse the game its flaws when taken on its own merits and therefore E.T. must win this argument (it doesn't help that the movie sucked too.)

Good God, man, I forgot about those classics! Those were quite good! In fact, I'm pretty sure I own most of those. I just need to find them, somewhere.... >__>

But, what I'm referring to are most of the current and last-gen Disney games; Kingdom Hearts, Hannah Montanah, High School Musical, That's so Raven, etc. etc. Those are just absolutely horrid (the exception being Kingdom Hearts - it was just slightly better than average).

They all suck pretty hardcore, but the two that stick out most in my mind right now are Eragon and Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
