Besides, it was better than Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.
E.T. is the obvious answer. It doesn't get much worse than nearly destroying the industry single-handedly.
As far as video games I've actually played though, I've got to go with the free-to-play MMORPG Endless Online [http://www.endless-online.com/]
Assuming you actually manage to get it running (an impressive feat in itself), you start out in a menu screen full of giant-headed chibi monstrosities. Click the "new game" option, and you'll be asked to enter your name--which you have to type by pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard to highlight the letters on-screen and pressing ENTER. For some reason, you can't just type it.
Then you customize your avatar's appearance and nothing else, and start the game off in a cabin with nothing but your underwear (+ bra if your avatar is female.)
How do you get clothes, you ask? Well you walk outside of the small town you're in (the only town on Noob Island. Yes, that's what it's called.) and beat up some goats with your bare fists. About one out of every four goats will drop a suit of peasant clothes.
"Finally," you think, once you've finally got them, "I've got some clothes!" It seems wierd that the goat has apparently eaten somebody's suit though, and there are clothes inside it. (I think the idea is that goats have fur that can be used to make clothes, but this is not hinted at. Clothes are just what's in the goats' random loot table.)
Well there is a 50% chance that you, my friend, are mistaken. See, the clothes in this game are gender-specific. If you're a female and the goat dropped male clothes, you can't wear them and vice-versa.
So after FINALLY getting an appropriate outfit from those goats, you check out the town's shop and see what's on sale. Everything at the shop costs over 2000 gold pieces, and there is literally no way to get gold on the island. The local monsters don't drop it, and there are no places to craft on the island. Oh, and people who leave the island cannot come back (it's purely a tutorial zone), so they can't bring gold and invest it in Noob Island's economy. So no shopping for you.
Also in town is a bulletin board, where any player can post requests for assistance with quests, calls for a party, or guild recruitment. This sounds like a cool idea, but almost everything on the board is actually requests for cybersex.
Anywho, upon trying to talk to some other players, you'll find that if you type at more than about 60 WPS, the game lags and your message will come out garbled and unintelligable. Oh well.
Once you grind the local monsters (goats and snakes) until you level up, you can board a ship to the mainland.
Shall I go on?
ADDENDUM: Although at least it led to this surprisingly entertaining youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aysqEi1vqOE

World of Warcraft or maybe even Halo. Yes, I'm serious. I hate those games. Though I'm pretty sure E.T. would get the vote.
I got this.
[HEADING=1]Big rigs: Over the road trucking.[/HEADING]
Lowest metacritic score for a game [http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/driving/bigrigsotrr/review.html]
Lowest Gamespot review ever [http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/driving/bigrigsotrr/review.html]
Winner of several worst video-game ever awards.
This game is so bad, its multi-award nominated.

I think a bunch of people kinda missed the point. I think he meant games that we played, and I doubt that many people played E.T., or Superman 64, or Big Rig Racing.
My vote goes to Megarace 3: Nanotech Disaster. Everything about it is catastrophic.

Here's one that gets overlooked:
"But wait", you say. "Ultimate Alliance is awesome" you say. And this is true, the console versions of the game are awesome. GBA version, however...just check the IGN [http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/745/745701p1.html] and Gamespot [http://www.gamespot.com/gba/rpg/marvelultimatealliance/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review] reviews. And here's a gameplay video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V2Z_06Smgg
Now I'm not trying to promote these guys or anything, it's just the only good video I can find of it. It's pretty understandable why there isn't much footage, how many people even realized there was a GBA version, and how many more actually played it? To me, this is easily as bad as something like Superman 64 or Big Riggs.
Anyways, just look at it! The graphics literally look like they were made using Microsoft Paint-oh, you think I'm joking? The background for Asgard is literally just with yellow dots to represent stars. I know you can do that in Paint. The music is mostly just the main theme looping over and over again, but worst of all is the gameplay. The controls are stiff and unresponsive, it's mainly just one attack button, and the hit detection is a joke. The game can also be completed in under an hour, though I guess that may actually be merciful.
Easily the worst game I've ever played, and I've actually played Superman 64.

Probably mass release, because no one else will have played Mega Man Clickattack.psrdirector said:
