Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. It's a fucking awesome game, but it wasn't very popular. I'm pretty sure the name had something to do with that.

Danog, (gonad spelled backwards), old game I got from somewhere 10 years ago, featured a flying penis-shaped spacecraft which shot white stuff. Was surprisingly complex with stuff like conservation of momentum, etc.

There's a good handful of NES games that are ridiculously bad:

Action In New York
The Adventures of Rad Gravity
Bible Buffet
Binary Land
Chubby Cherub
Color a Dinosaur
Crackout
Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball
Image Fight
Low G Man
Monster Truck Party
Pesterminator
Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom
Rock 'n' Ball
Secret Scout in the Temple of Demise
Sunday Funday
Touch Down Fever
Woody Poko

Oh, although it's a PS1 game, Irritating Stick takes the cake.

I don't even know what it means but having a game name that long is just fucking stupid. Did the developers not understand that the back of the box is for explaining what the games about? Surely they could have cut that down a bit.

One of them yes. It's where the guy beats off from the roof of the building and you control the girls that have to catch it in their mouths.

Enthusia. Quality game, but never sold well, partly due to the fact it's name sounds suspiciously like Euthanasia.

Two Crude Dudes, doing what they do best. It was like a streets of rage side scrolling beat up the bad guys game. But it sucked.



Greendog: The beached Surfer Dude!

Despite having the crappest name/storyline ever, I played this so much in my childhood. The basic storyline is: Surfer crashes into an Island, wakes up with a necklace. 'Fit' babe appears and tells him it's some crazy curse, and that if he doesn't reunite the 7 blah blahs of whatever to remove it, HE CAN NEVER SURF AGAIN!

Bible adventures for NES included such awesome games as "Noah's Ark" which was Wolfenstein 3D with all the usual bad guys replaced as animals.

Are you serious? That was fun as hell from what I remember, and if it does suck at least the name is awesome.

I remember going to an old arcade when I was a little kid and they had a game there called "Twin Eagle: Revenge Joes Brother". I wish there'd been an Explosm mod at their dev studio to put the designer in TO.

Also, my cousins and I used to play "M.U.S.C.L.E.(an acronym for Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere)" on the old school NES. It was a wrestling game.

I've played it. It sucks ass.

How about "Big Nose Freaks Out"? That one's pretty damn stupid, too.

2Xtreme was also a pretty gay game title, but it was fun as hell. 3Xtreme was shit from what I've heard.

Sounds like an early version of Rampage, that game with the monkey, lizard, or wolf where you'd trash the planet.

I never had the M.U.S.C.L.E. NES game. But I had tons of the little guys. They were bad ass.
For some reason I always hated the title "Fester's Quest." No real reason, but there it is.

I don't know if anyone else watched the show, but this game was always played on Nick Arcade, and though I never actually played the game I always wanted to.
