Top Ten Worst NES Games
Action 52 is still my least favorite game of all time.
The games are loaded with multiple bugs and glitches, crashing, atrocious controls, random characters, super tiny sprites, dying in mid-air, proportion problems, misleading titles and power-ups, unorthodox weapons, eye-straining backgrounds, enemies not showing up, impossible wins and losses, lack of sense, horrible graphics, musics, menus, and so much more.
There's a kid that says that Dick Tracy is worse then this. That kid deserves to lose his head (I don't care how harsh I'm sounding, that's literally one of the dumbest things I've ever heard) for his bad taste. Because no one in the right mind would think that Dick Tracy (a game that's actually good, well somewhat) is worse than Action 52 (fifty-two atrocious games).
This game sucks so bad, it put LJN to shame. At least LJN didn't make a game half as diabolical than even one of the Action 52 games (okay maybe they did with X-men but that's probably it). All other LJN games (at least for the NES) are god compare to this. And yes, that includes Bill and Ted.
52 incredibly bad games. They look so unfinished, all the platformer has the same issues, bad graphics, bad gameplay, bad sounds, it's almost not even playable. Some games doesn't even start, only on specific emulators.
It's not worthy to call these things as games. 52 unfinished programming failures.
The comment that starts with "The Laughing Joking Numbnuts who made this game" was written by someone who meant to say "The Laughing Joking Numbnuts who ruined this game". Let's face it, no matter who made this game, they gave the Angry Video Game Nerd's least favourite 19th-century licensed property the LJN treatment.
Have you even played this game! It is bad beyond its normal definition. Playing this game is like playing catch with a chimpanzees frozen turd in the zoo. But even that is more fun than playing Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde for one second.
100% unbearable, it's so bad that broke my copy. I was expecting a good game until I played this PIECE OF CRAP, I consider it the HARDEST GAME I EVER PLAYED could not get past LEVEL 4.
The Laughing Joking Numbnuts who made this game figured that butchering 19th-century licensed properties is fair game too: weird gameplay combined with a picture that looks like Two-Face or Freddy Krueger or the Riddler or most likely all of the above makes this crazy excuse for a video game the Angry Video Game Nerd's least favourite NES game.
Worst NES games ever:
3. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
2. Action 52
1. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures (Excellent? Everybody's a comedian!)
This didn't need to be a game. If you wanted to color a dinosaur, BUY A COLORING BOOK! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
This didn't need to be a game. If you wanted to color a dinosaur, BUY A COLORING BOOK FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
At least this coloring game has a fill option, unlike a certain MS Paint ripoff brought to you by Laughing Joking Numbnuts.
Tgis didn't need to be a game. If you wanted to color a dinosaur, BUY A COLORING BOOK!
Where's Waldo? Good question, everybody almost looks like waldo
At least all the others are at least games... How do you call this a game
Fun fact: very durable cartridge. It took me 20 minutes to destroy!
Graphics look like vomit. That's what this game is!
Published by LJN, developed by Beam Software. This had no chance of being not-bad. It's just a matter of if you toss it against the wall or out a third-story window.
See the top left corner of the box? That's why this game stinks.
How to make a bad Back to the Future game?
Step 1 - Allow LJN do it.
Step 2 - Make the game nothing like the movie.
Step 3 - Add bad graphics, gameplay and music.
Step 4 - Add "BACK TO THE FUTURE" in the cover
Step 5 - Sell it.
Out of their over 30 games LJN has made one decent, and this is not that one
A couple years ago I got a lot of game for NES and I saw this one. I figured it would be like Kung Fu. Boy was I wrong. I actually thought there was something wrong with my controller. This game has the worst controls in the history of gaming. The graphics are bad too. The players never move from where they are and the scenery is boring. It's an all around terrible game. My personal least favorite game on NES.
The graphics are bad, even for a NES game, and the controls are a joke.
THE WORST CONTROL EVER!
This should be first, not action 52, as action 52 isn't even a real game.
The password system sucks
I remember seeing this on cristmas, I hated it
Way too difficult!
If you have one of the 1500 cartridges known to exist, it's hard to tell whether or not you are lucky or living in a dumpster. This game takes the first Cheetah men game and sprinkles magical crap dust all over it. I bet if you look in the dictionary for "Glitch", you will soon find footage of the gameplay that was released to Earth as a warning shot by Satan.
This crazy joke was released in pre-alpha stage.
Cheetahmen 2 is not only crap, it's crap with a hefty price! Why would you want to pay $1500 for this game? You'd be better of spending that much on good games!
This is in action 52
This should be higher on the list. Screw this game.
Gee, this game is so hard & its gameplay is unfair.
Are you want to play a good Hydlide game on the NES? Go to Japan and play Hydlide 3!
I think Elvis would want a guitar, not a gravestone. Giving Cleopatra a credit card? What were them Laughing Joking Numbnuts thinking... No, What's on second! I'm not asking you who's on second. Who's on first. I don't know... THIRD BASE!
What were they thi thinking ABOUT giving illogical items to certain people in history? Imagine someone giving you a gravestone for your death. Bill and Ted are jerks. This game might be the worst lgn game for nes
This game makes little sense. Giving a famous criminal an Uzi? I'd think Edison would want an elephant-sized electric chair, not a CD someone living many decades before lasers existed would ever want.
I'd rather watch the movie than play this crazy excuse for a video game with such an absurd approach to said movie. Worst... NES... Game... EVER!
Seriously? Silver Surfer's in the top ten, but this game isn't? Makes no sense.
Another video game ruined by Laughing Joking Numbnuts...
Literally the characters are either laser-shooters or mêlée fighters. Mêlée here means 'running into enemies'. What I'm saying is, the graphics are bad.
It's certainly LJN!
And also the title in-game should be The Uncanny X-Men not Marvel's X-Men!
The "Ghostbusters" voice sample... I hate it. This game makes Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde and Action 52 look like Super Mario Bros 1 and 3 in comparison.
Top 3 Worst NES Games
1. Cheetahmen II
2. Ghostbusters
3. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
The Commodore 64 version of Ghostbusters was much better.
The Sega Genesis version is great.
It's so glitchy, it puts sonic 06 to shame. It ruined a beloved series from the Atari 2600. Stick to the atari version
This game was a super pitfall.
Bad graphics, bad controls, and too cryptic
In Japan, there was a sequel of Super Pitfall called Atlantis no Nazo.
This game isn't that bad. It has flaws, but its at least playable. And the music is good.
Fester's Quest or Fester's Joke Game?
I don't really think this deserves to be this high. I don't really find it that bad of a game. - LarryLarrington
Actually kind of decent. It's hard, but the music is pretty good.
THIS SHOULD BE NUMBER 1! Because it did a horrible job on making a Godzilla game. This is the worst Godzilla game, worst NES game, and WORST GAME OF ALL TIMES! WORST THAN SUPERMAN N64! Don't play this game at all!
Let's face it, the Laughing Joking Numbnuts who never stop ruining everything to do with video games didn't learn a thing from their first Back To The Future NES game.
Beyond worthless game. Terrible mechanics, terrible gameplay, terrible graphics. I have nothing good to say about this horrible piece of trash. Even worse than games like Wheres Waldo, Back to the Future, Super Pitfall, and even worse than Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers.
U guys don't relize that this is a snes GAME I'm I the only one who realizes that? - Xomanxy
Worst NES game. Probably the worst movie game I have ever played. Definitely one of the worst games I have ever played period. Should not exist!
I know this game is bad but it is entertaining since its hard
Just like Dragons Lair, this game should be almost as high as Action 52. - LarryLarrington
No matter who programmed this crazy joke, they gave it the LJN treatment. Can anybody say Rainbow Of Doom!
Guys, you realize LJN isn't a programming company right? They just publish the games that gaming companies give them...
PS: I have played this game when I was 7 or 8 years old.
Don't play the NES game, I prefer the arcade version.
Getting stuck on the first screen of the game is no fun.
Play the snes version. Its an actual platformer and you have a variety of attacks like actually using your SWORD. Plus it was difficult but actually fair, and your can get health BACK.
7/10
P.S. the first level usually takes about 1 minute.
Let's face it, no matter who programmed this crazy joke, they gave Little Red Riding Hood the LJN treatment. Can anybody say Rainbow Of Doom!
Its stupid
Dear riding hood thank you for your coming!
What did Little Red Riding Hood do to deserve this!
Probably the worst video game based on a book license...
Sooo horrible - jameshoward
The worst game for the worst sport
I actually kind of like this game, especially the music. But the difficulty is unfair.
Every time you touch something, you die and have to try it all over again.
Hardest NES game at least
One of the hardest games ever
Play attention to none of the comments saying that this game deserves to be in the top 10. This is actually a decent game once you get good at it.
The most frustrating feature of this game is summed up by the Angry Video Game Nerd (aka James AVGN Rolfe) as follows: "One guy, no continues?! "
Watch the AVGN review. It is so funny & inspiring. Also, it is so true. This game is even worse than Action 52.
Dick Tracy deserves to be in the top 10s. James W. Rolfe would be angry to see Dick Tracy at top 74 instead of the top 5s. After all, he is the Angry Video Game Nerd.
