My choice is jet set willy. I don't really understand it. Chefs want to kill me. Maids want to kill me. Ice cream and peanuts can kill me. Why doesn't willy just fire the maid. Why does willy own such a stupid mainsion. Why is their a foot that squashes me when i get a gameover.

Although it may be very stupid Jet set willy is a great game. I have a dos fan remake of jet set willy.

ET for the Atari 2600. Possibly the stupidest video game in existence.

You're falling into pits every which way, ET somehow only has 9999 Fuel or something, Elliot can touch you but only gives you 1500 more fuel when you die, some trench-coat guy keeps coming after you, all he has to do is touch you once and you lose your stuff. Also this old lady comes, grabs you, and hauls you off to some sort of thing that looks similar to the White House.

I don't remember the movie ET ever having some sort of "fuel", or ET falling into pits every minute, or most of the other crap in the game.

A hodgepodge of stuff that doesn't make much sense.

The movie was about a zillion times better than the game, for sure.

(I don't blame the guy that made it, he was pretty much forced to do it as fast as he could, essentially a rush job, apparently he only had 5 weeks to do it in order to get it done in time for Christmas)

Et was a good movie but i agree the game was really dumb. It obviously seems like a rush job. An even stupider game than ET would be glover.

The most terrible game ever would be tell me why plant edition. Their is much better learning games. The Tell me why games were just stupid and i used to have the whole collection before i played them and found out they were not good. Whatever anyone does stay away from the tell me why games as they are the worst educational games ever and i have played some very terrible educational games

actually one PS1 game i played is even more stupid. Stunt Cycle 2.0, think a side scrolling motor cycle game where fire hydrants shoot at you, in bad SNES graphics.

Well i guess it is not as stupid as paper boy. Paper boy is so stupid that it's fun. I became a paper boy because of that game. I later quit my paper job.http://www.code-x.ws/forum/index.php?showtopic=46026
