Yes, MANY critics refer to it as the worst game of all time - hence we've all heard this one before - around the time the damned thing was published.

I little known fact about this game (or I think it's little known, as I figured it out myself) is that it was originally going to be called "Midnight Racing Club: Supercharged" or something. If you open the game's data file as a zip file, you will find the original title screen in there as well as some half-finished models for cars they supposedly designed for that version. You can also use them in the game by renaming some files; one is almost finished and even has pretty good reflections! You'll also find a race lost graphic which is never used in the "game", and source psd files for some of the in-game graphics...

I honestly can't understand how this game ever got released. It's not even "not finished", it's "barely started". It doesn't even qualify as a pre-development prototype.

I always considered the worst game of all time to be spiritual warfare (NES) It was the only game published for a nintendo console that did not get the nintendo seal of quality. The basic premise was that you ran around throwing fruit at jews, hispanics, arabs, and black people. When you hit them with the fruit they turned into white god fearing angels...
Also hylide with its random death battle mechanic. basically you attacked enemies by pressing A and B together and hoping the game decided to not kill you...

For the longest time I thought Big Rigs was the worst game ever made, however recently I was made aware of a game made in the 1990s called "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties." The game definitely NSFW, and has some of the most loony and most perverted humor I've ever seen. The Angry Video Game Nerd did a hilarious review of it, and there's even a "port" to YouTube using clever annotations and links to let you "play" the game. Unfortunately one of the core parts of the game was removed due to terms of use violations, so you're unable to complete it.

Also, you're wrong WRT the seal of quality: Atari released several unlicensed games under their "Tengen" brand.

Easy: Like ET for the Atari was released. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial_%28video_game%29Now... I kind of liked that game (E.T., that is). Granted, I was only about 12 years old when I went Atari-crazy, so the game had absolutely zero hype and such for me, but it was an amusing yet challenging way to spend ten-twenty minutes and win the game. It had some basic exploring, the scary feel of being chased by the FBI agents, an actual sequence of events, selectable difficulty levels that did more than just speed things up... oh, and of course that EVIL levitate-out-of-the-pit minigame. ... okay, maybe I actually hated that game until I figured out how to (reliably) float out of the pits.
A catch is that you *had* to read the instruction booklet to understand Jack Daniels about the game... which, as I understand, nobody else really did.

Yeah... Hydlide... Somehow that pile of crap spawned a four-game franchise, culminating in a 2.5-D 3rd-person RPG.
Oh, the Japanity!

I refuse to believe that a game based on Weetabix was anything less than orgasmic.

Filed under: For Americans: Weetabix is a cereal so boring it makes Cheerios and shredded wheat (the non-frosted kind) look like a fucking badass biker gang that would get fucked up on meth and whiskey and beat the shit out of some gays. That's how uncool it is.
The only way it could be more boring would be if it came as a powder. So that it was a sludge instantly instead of only after you left it to sit for a minute.

You got burned... must have been sold some fake 'bix, my friend. The real thing does not go sludgey if you leave it to sit for a minute. The real thing does not go sludgey if you leave it to sit for a million years. It has a half-life longer than plutonium. It has the consistency of a pillow made of concrete and straw, and tastes twice as good. It would make half decent building materiel except for the fact that anyone who lived in a house made out of weetabix would get suicidally depressed at having to see the stuff all the time.Filed under: For Americans: Weetabix is a cereal so boring it makes Cheerios and shredded wheat (the non-frosted kind) look like a fucking badass biker gang that would get fucked up on meth and whiskey and beat the shit out of some gays.

IOW, I think you over-rate it.
