i am sure that i am making this claim out of sheer frustration. We have been on a serious RBI hiatus. many moons ago i suspended myself from RBI baseball for losing with houston. We just today started playing again, and i must say that i do not like this game anymore. Everything that can go wrong in this game goes wrong with me from drawing teams (me getting Houston or SF) right down to rain outs when im winning. Now this may be out of frustration but this is the worst game ever made and i cannot stand it anymore. Maybe if i ever play again and even one thing goes right then i will change my mind.
Briznock
Well no one expected that. I am fuck as drunk but I know an out and out lie when I see one. Let me hijack/salvage this thread by asking (in the spirit of our movie threads) - What is the absolute worst NES game?
That's just the frustration talking, sleep on it...
Hey liek I said....He quits everytime we play........because I am totally awesome...and he sucks ass at RBI....
oh.....and he did die while playing Super Mario Bros. today in less than one second...on the first level...I witnessed....And he didnt mean to.....
Pure and utter frustration. You need a patsy to beat up on for a while. Either that or just stop being a little whiny bitch. ;D
My buddy is almost to your boiling point. He hasn't beaten me in ages. And I've developed this terrible, terrible drunken habit of giggling when things go wrong for him. I think he's about to kick me in the balls.
Agreed, he needs someone to beat up on. It is no fun to loser over and over. Potsie has streaks like that and he loses all love for the game. It's not even fun to play him when things get that bad...
Maybe the computer?
well...Ill admit it.....I love it....the more frustrated he gets...the happier I get....cracks me up....I especially like it when he gets so mad he starts giving straight pitch down the center to every batter.....or even better when he he cant speak other than the word..."Sure"
My buddy starts talking to himself and throwing straight pitches right down the middle when he's really about to lose it. It doesn't help at all that I still giggle all the way to the slaughter rule. Poor bastard.
Me too....I just quietly laugh hoping that he throws a controller at the nintendo.........or just gets up and walks away from the game...
But then I dont get to finish which sucks...but its usually worth it
I too am a victim of the "right down the middle" when I get mad. That's usually because I felt cheated by some part of the game...
It's ALWAYS the game's fault.
well....I mean we obviously wouldnt make the mistake....
To reply to Dove's post, the worst NES game ever is Daydreamin' Davey.
NO NO NO.... I will be the first to admit that i have lost games. It happens. And i dont really care anymore. But dont let GoReds fool you. He isnt that good. Everytime he beats me its cuz he has Boston or Detroit or California and i get shitty houston or San Fran or (even though i love them) St. Louis. If we were allowed choose teams this would be a much closer series. Im not saying i dont lose when i get a good team, but when i do get one something stupid happens. I will get 15 fucking doinks, or one random pitch wont curve off the plate when it should and of course it will leave tengen stadium, or Ill get a meaty pitch for Reggie Jackson or some other "power hitter" to hit and all he ever fucking does it line drive that mother fucker off of the god damn wall or pop up.
Now i have loved this game since i was about 8. And i know it will get its shot again. But that will only happen when my other roommate gets back up here. And im sure it will last about 15 seconds. You know why. Because i have hit 2 homers with houston IN MY LIFE, and im sure he will have another 2 homer game with Billy fucking hatcher (first pitch leadoff almost out of the stadium too.) I will get detroit and fly out to the wall about 15 times.
Bionic Commando ---> Worst Game Ever
Q-Bert --> Worst Game Ever
i hate this game......still.
So much anger.
Quote from: CurtFlood on 01/07/04, 12:43:40 PM
Q-Bert --> Worst Game Ever
Q*Bert = greatest game pre-video game market crash. So there.
Nightwulf
Q*Bert rules. I can't imagine how someone could hate that game. I used to play it all the time on the Commodore 64 back in the day, although I admittedly haven't played a NES version, if such a thing exists. The cartoon was cool, too.
Bionic Commando is a quality game as well...
Hmmm, not sure what my worst game ever would be - MUSCLE wrestling is definitely up there...
Gantry- You actually like Bionic Commado?? I had to watch H-bomb over christmas beat that game... I want those three hours of my life back.. and the ending was not worth the wait
I didn't care for the arcade or NES versions of Bionic Commando, but the GBC version was excellent. It was much more smooth.
Nightwulf
Yeah I liked Bionic Commando, pretty neat game. Not too difficult (even at age 11 or whatever) but fun. Watching someone play the whole way through might not be too exciting...
There are definitely much worse games out there. How quickly you forget the Urban Champions and 10-yard fights of the world.
10 Yard Fight is the bomb-diggity.
Briznock is starting to remind me of Ray Finkle.
"Dan Marino should die of gonnorhea and rot in hell. Care for a cookie?"
Hoops was pretty bad, I don't remeber much about it but we bought it and returned it the same day
John Elway Football
10 yard fight and the old plan nintendo brand baseball I think are the worst games ever, or at least out of those that I played.
I hated Major League Baseball too.
The Ray Finkle thing actually hits home...mostly since he enjoys tucking his cock under, and running aroudn the apt ass naked....hmmm..
Bo Jackson's baseball game... Elway's football game.
Damn, I hated those games.
John Elways Quarterback is by far the worst game ever. The reverse play/ normal play where the running back all of a sudden becomes faster than anyone else on the field makes less sense than anything I've seen on RBI or any other game. The sad thing is that it actually came out at the same time as Tecmo Bowl so it's not like it has the excuse of being an old game like 10 Yard Fight.
I almost forgot... NES Play Action Football really blows too!
Play Action Football definitely sucks. I remember when Jason got it and we were all pumped up to play. Then it sucked...
The game is slow and boring. Takes about 3 hours to play...
Quite possibly the slowest moving sports game of all time. I swear a 90 yard TD run takes at least 5 minutes.
Quote from: BeefMaster on 01/07/04, 03:51:59 PM
Q*Bert rules. I can't imagine how someone could hate that game.
It is the worst game ever by default...my mom bought it for me after I begged her all year for Tecmo Bowl. I'll need years of therapy if I ever want to get over this.
Speaking of John Elway's Quarterback, anyone ever play the arcade version where you have to flip that nubbins to pass the ball? That sucks. Also I got Jaws (which I have beat many times) when I first asked for RBI. Took a few more tries.
I don't think I've ever actually beaten Jaws, never got that weird harpooning thing down at the end...
hey dove, what's a nubbins?
Well I was referring to the little arcade stick that was spring loaded on the J.E.Q.B game in about posts. However a nubbins is really when you put your thumb up (like thumbs-up) and then gouge someone in the chode (space between balls and asshole). This is also called a jomba. This is a good move to perfom immediately after or during boob sex.

AKA Grundle.

We used to call a buddy of mine Tate, because he would always start there and then do girls in the poop chute. Messed up.
Don't forget: the grundle.
Taint is the word of choice here.
Also, Original Baseball for the NES is the fucking shizzlating shizzly shit. I still play that one on occasion.
Worst NES sports game ever: NFL. . . . .no players. . . . slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow game play. . . . .complete asshole hair of a game.
NFL Football was fkn garbage
Nintendo Baseball was a great game. I always used the K team. I bought an NES and Baseball with my first ever paycheck.

I agree, Nintendo baseball was a good game, not great, but certainly enjoyable
Quotemy dad got an NES and baseball for christmas in 84 or 85.
I believe the NES came out in late 1985, so he probably got one of the first sets...

[NESnerd] The first official public unveiling of the NES (called the Advanced Video System at the time) was at the CES in January 1985. It reappeared at the June CES as the NES, with the addition of the Zapper and ROB. The first appearance of the NES on retail sales floors was late 1985, in the NYC market only. About half of the 50,000 units available sold. The system became available in Los Angeles in February 1986, and shortly thereafter in Chicago and San Francisco. The NES was available nationally by the end of 1986. [/NESnerd]
Nightwulf
Well then. . . 1986 must have been the year.
I bought mine in summer of '87
Quote from: Bonny on 05/14/05, 07:50:24 PM

damn. you were sucking dick at a very young age.
i saved up my own money and bought it from toys r us for $99.95 dollars. i used to charge my sisters 10 cents a game to play super mario brothers. i figured i needed to recover some cash from my investment.
I remember not having a nintendo, and I remember getting Zelda and Mario 2 for Christmas, but I don't remember getting the NES. The human brain is a complex and mysterious thing, especially when it's being destroyed one beer at a time.
I sold my Atari 2600 and all the games at a grage sale for about $30, then used that plus other savings to buy the NES for about $90, was after it was out for a while, I'd guess spring/summer of '88?
Ultimate Basketball
Athena
MLB Baseball with the "green screen" after a hit
but my top pick is American Gladiators with the IMPOSSIBLE rock climb.
Athena was a truly shitty game, good call...
PS - I bought Bible Adventures at a thrift store on Friday, can't wait to give that a shot...

I have that game, although I haven't played it for more than 5 minutes at a time and don't have the book to know exactly what I'm doing. I do know that it's possible to throw baby Moses in the river...
my parents got nintendo for me and my brother in 1986 for christmas. i remember that the box said "from santa" and my mom was like "let's see what santa got for you boys!" and i remember saying "that wasn't santa, this is your hand writing!" what a little bastard.
anyways, we didn't get the version that had a zapper. just the two controllers and super mario bros. of course a week later my dad ended up going out and buying a zapper and Hogan's Alley. my dad also bought Burgertime as part of the christmas present (althought that part was probably more for him), because he used to spend a ton of time playing that in video arcades. he also likes burgers. so do i. good call.
in conclusion, since then I have personally purchased a Genesis, Game Gear, THREE different versions of Game Boy, a Sega Saturn, a Dreamcast, a Gamecube, and a PS2. The only system I have in my apartment is the very nintendo I got for Christmas 19 years ago. Thank you and goodnight.
By the way, the worst NES game is far and away Silent Service.

Not a lot of discussion about the worst NES game ever in this thread. Let me save someone a requote...
I don't care what Seanbaby says, Deadly Towers is a damn good game and FAR from the worst ever. Some recent choices:
1) MUSCLE Wrestling
2) Tag Team Wrestling
3) Phantom Fighter
It's still Bible Adventures.

Worst game ever? Just bought it at a garage sale for $4. Mario Andretti Racing... terrible Formula 1 simulation (try shifting gears and driving at the same time). It was an impulse buy (even included the original box) and was a big mistake. There are 10-30 better driving games for the NES (Super Sprint, Excitebike, even R.C. Pro-Am)...
Go Reds...
you should have put the EVEN before excitebike instead of RC pro am.
No game tops Home Alone 2 for the NES in shittiness. Yes, there was a Home Alone 2 game for the NES, and it fucking sucked. Fucking. Sucked. It makes some bad games released on the NES look like a classic.

what's worse, is in elway's football, that "do do do do dee do" before every fucking play. and you can do that gay reverse for the lightning fast td.
i am so sick of people praising excitebike, that game is mediocre at best. last night i went and had a few beers with people from work. this one girl called me out on doing immature things, and i admitted that i have my NES, with RBI Baseball, in my trunk. nacho and i are going to get some playing done later today, hopefully. but i digress...people were saying i should bring it into the bar, and then were mentioning some games that they would like to play. the first word out of one guy's mouth was "Excitebike!" i damn near slapped him.
for some reason, everyone has great memories of that game. unfortunately, it blows goats.
How does everyone pronounce Excitebike...
Excite-a -bike or Excitebike?
I say the latter
Why would you pronounce it the first way?
i have never, in all my years of wanton NES discussion, heard someone say "excite-a-bike"...i think you made that up just to create controversy...
Consider yourself warned BDawk...

It was way the fuck out northwest, by Woodstock. THey only had about 10 games, not worth the drive...
So, Gantry, did you actually get around to playing Bible Adventures?
It's on my "Games I've Beaten" list, although I'm a little uneasy about it since the last David level drove me to lots of swearing.
Actually, I haven't even touched it yet. I'll pop it in tonight after work, someone bump this thread by 9pm tonight if I haven't given my two cents...

i'm only a year and a half late...what are your feelings on bible adventures?
it's a pretty mediocre game, if i remember correctly. i sold my copy a couple of years ago.
PS - the worst NES game is still Silent Service, i will readily kill any who say otherwise...actually, i would love to meet someone who enjoys the game, so i can hear their logic, and then kill them.
I have a thread on it somewhere, not as bad as I though it would be. THere is this one jump that I couldn't get past so I gave up, but I have spent more time or shittier games, that's for sure...
King Poseidon's Adventure is the Color Dreams game that haunted me. Fuck that fucking game...

I'm guessing the jump was in the last level of David & Goliath - the last half of that level was a jumping maze that made me curse my very existence (although I did eventually make it through).
I don't remember the details, but I coludn't see any way of making it. So I did the only proper thing and gave up, never playing again...

Though I just realized that this post was a year and a half old, I was just in a Game Exchange the other day in South St. Louis, they had hundreds of NES games, multiple copies of most titles. If you guys are looking for anything in particular, or particularly shitty, I could stop back in there. Looked like games ran $1.50 to $5 or so. Pretty good supply of SuperNES, Sega Saturn, Sega CD, etc., also.
the only game-x-change i have ever been to is in bloomington, il. sadly, based off what you told me and what i have read at digital press, it seems to be by far the most expensive game-x-change out there...
Hating RBI should be practically illegal. Websense blocks Gantry's mainpage, but not the forums... go figure.

See the Chicagoland RBI thread strassy, weird timing...
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is the worst. But amazingly, it has some of the best background graphics of most games! And it has the Indora God music from Rygar for the title screen.
Hydlide is pretty bad too. But it's alot better than Dr. Jekyll. I guess all the games with "Hyd" in their name suck.
And yes, I do own both of these games.
Mario Andretti Racing... like a poor man's Pole Position, except you had to take a manual transmission... just bought it last year for a buck (included original box so I had to do it)... waste of dough...
what?!
you can't waste a dollar on a nintendo game.
yes you can...if you spend it on Silent Service...

I'm probably the only one here who actually enjoys Silent Service. I got really far on a war patrol one time. Sunk around 140,000 tons of ships before one got me. I don't think it can actually be beaten, just goes on forever. Just like R.C. Pro-Am.
Silent Service is alot like Overlord, barely any music, tons of controls (especially Overlord), but much MUCH easier. Same thing with the Black Bass. At least they have music on that one. I gave up on the Blue Marlin, it baffles me.
blue marlin is a good time wasting game. i've caught some huge fish. there's a lot of technique to it.
Damn, Dee-Nee... I must be going nuts (I am 41, after all)... How did you remember my post from 2006 when I couldn't even remember it?
Thanks for setting me straight on my Andretti purchase...
UPDATE: The Andretti game still sucks... my 3-year-old is already tired of it and he's an original Nintendo fan!
Long live R.B.I., Contra and Arch Rivals!

It was such an old thread that I decided to read it from the beginning. Your memory may be spotty, but heck I sometimes forget about I made a few days ago. Your consistent hatred for the game is consistent, and that's all that matters...
Caveman Games is also an easy nominee. I rented it way back when the NES was still the big news. It's amusing the first couple times, but it's just like Track & Field II (only alot worse), so much button tapping, but turbo makes it too easy.
Harlem Globetrotters...I rented it. Probably the worst NES basketball game. Even the Atari 2600 version of Basketball is better. EVERY time you shoot, the ball bounces on the rim, and usually just rolls off. I've never hit a straight shot in, I dunno if it's possible. Only the mid-air spinning slam dunks are mildly amusing.
Other stinkers:
Muppet Adventure
Raid On Bungling Bay
NARC
Total Recall
John Elway's Quarterback (reverse/normal)!
Beetlejuice
Kung Fu (it's just too short)
Bases Loaded II
Xenophobe (probably the worst ever, NO MUSIC)!
narc ahaha. i beat that game once - the boss is the most ridiculous thing ever. it's like 6 in one.
plus when you beat it, you don't get like a congratulations screen or anything. it's like "save the war on drugs"
fuck that shit.
Geesh.
Well at least you beat it.
Since we're talking about bad game endings, Karnov comes to mind. 9 freaking stages in the game, and when you beat it, all you get is a "congratulations" message at the end with some music. Battletoads, same thing. 12 extremely difficult levels (well except for 1 & 2), and you get a short message from the Dark Queen at the end before she exits, and one from your Professor T. Bird & it just shows your ship fly away, then it goes back to the title screen. With a game that hard, you'd think they'd have a great ending, but no, we get one of the shittiest endings to probably one of the most popular games in history.....

Xenophobe (probably the worst ever, NO MUSIC)!
That was one of the first games we got with our Nintendo (my uncle picked it out because he enjoyed the arcade version). It never ends, just cycling through the same 8 levels over and over, and if you're moderately good at it, there are enough health items around that you could play it indefinitely. My brother and a friend use to play it for hours at a time, to the point where it would take 5-10 minutes just to show all their accumulated items between levels.
Bump, this is a great watch by Norm / Gaming Historian about Nintendo owning the Mariners:

More of a baseball history than a video game one, but interesting stuff. I don't recall any of that controversy in 1992.
