I don't even know where to begin here. Elevator Action was a sick game. So was Paperboy. So many things wrong with this list.

after reading this list, someone needs a beat down.

Great list, except its too bad Halo 2 and 3 didn't make it.

haha...hilarious.

this list is funny as hell.

1. Ghost n Goblins that game is awesome that he can't play it for sh!t is a different thing, and yes it is considered one of the most difficult games of all time and hell that is why that game is good

2. Fatal Fury is my second one, first because i found that game fighting style a lot more fun then Street fighter which is more simple. And i love 2d fighting games they r the best and i can name at least 5 worst fighting games then fatal fury and the first one was not the best but it wasn't that bad.

MGS4 should be on the list of best game this generation.

Shaq Fu was fun. Lol it was my stupid fun NES title.

Haven't even read it and I bet ET is no. 1

Paper boy is only on the list because it was hard as sh1t to beat once you got past a certain level.

Edit:

BigSwede agreed.

Wow. Old Wizard never ceases to amaze me. This list is crap. I disagree with every game except E.T. (that game was horrible) and possibly Shaq-Fu (it was bad but I don't know about top 10 bad). Where the hell is Bubsy 3D (PSX), or White Men Can't Jump (Jaguar), or Captain Novolin (SNES)? These are some examples of AWFUL games. Skate or Die? That game was awesome. In fact, most of the games on their list were between decent and good, in my opinion. Some are downright CLASSICS. And totally, completely broken games aren't on the list? Pshaw. Where is the definitively broken Atari 2600 port of PAC-MAN? Worst port ever, it's pretty much unplayable. Old Wizard don't know what they're talking about.

I feel like ive seen this before...

Terrible list.

10. Not a bad game.
7. Not a bad game.
6. Not a bad game.
4. Not a bad game.
3. Not a bad game.
2. SNES version was worse than Genesis version.

Elevator action? damn.

Where was Pac Man?, Halo 3, KZ2 and LBP? /Joking

Joking Joking Joking :)

Joust was good, weird but good.

i knew ET would be number one.

i loved skate or die.
i loved joust.
i loved paperboy.

those three games are gold jerry gold.

Lot of moderating at n4g

Joust? Paperboy?

......

Strange, given the site, I was expecting them to pull the Zelda CD games.

Maybe they just blocked the memory of those out.

Ghost n' Goblins being on the list proves that the person who came up with this list is just a butthurt crybaby.

Wow, and to think I own Shaq-Fu and played it a lot.

big rigs!

...At least they admit they're little turd-burglar fanboys.

Most of oldwizard.com's lists are fails on a grand scale. "most games are stupid, especially the ones made by Sega."? I have a whole list of colorful adjectives to describe the utter failure of a human being that wrote this, but something tells me he just doesn't deserve that much recognition.

All I'll say is that it's because of little buttf*cks like the guy who wrote that that kept me from buying an SNES as a kid. I associated asshole kids with Nintendo for years because of little douchers like that.

Joust!?!

Ghost and goblins?!?!

Paperboy!?!?!?!?!

Sorry I loved those as a kid. Especially paperboy. I could get through the entire week. It was hard but so goofy and entertaining. He also failed to mention paperboy was ported to nes from an awesome arcade title. I think this guy doesn't understand arcade style games. God help us if he picks up the original Mario Bros he'll whine then too.

Want a bad game? look up dynowarz for nes... wow now that was bad... how about Knight rider NES game? Lol memories.

Joust .... DO NOT tell me i wasted all that time playing that game. :(

shaq fu was fun for what it was and if paper boy was so bad why have all of you spent atleast 20 hrs on it. and fatal fury was tight a streets of rage challenger

nice.....my Gamer Zone comment was deleted. must have been cuz i said DildoZone 2 wasnt on the list.

I thought this list would have a bunch of games I have never heard of before, but a lot of the games I have played and none of them belong on this list. Joust is not a bad game. Ghosts N Goblins = a great classic game. Paper Boy = okay game. Fatal Fury = good game. This guy is a moron.

I actually liked Paperboy games.

That is a cracksmoker's list.

Elevator Action, Joust, Paperboy, GnG? Are you serious?

I have played many far worse games on multiple platforms.

Am I the only one that owned a Colecovision? Colecovision was better than Intellivision and Atari and the best system in the early 1980s. It had great games like Donkey Kong (which came with it), Mouse Trap, Venture, Ladybug, and even unauthorized versons of Qbert and Frogger. But, I bring it up because I would put Smurfs on the list of worst games of all time.

F*cking old wizzard and their retro games, that no one remembers or cares about.. really? you can play PacMan for hours? that guy most be the most boring person ever:)

I'm shocked some of those games made the list but Dragon's Lair didn't.

paperboy? That was like my favorite game when I was a kid, sure it was a b*tch and harder than hell at times but it was super fun. Plus you gotta do all those sweet ramps at the end in the construction area.

WHERES HALO?

...

Are these guys insane? I guess its just their opinion though. But ghost and Goblins should not be on that list and Skate Or Die should not be on it either. These were both great games. My question is. Why isnt Silver Surfer(nes) and Batman Forever(snes) not on the list? Because these two games are probably the worst of all time.

Skate or Die, Joust, and Paperboy were great games.....obviously he never played Friday the 13th. I wonder how old the writer is.

Half is horrible games...the other half is extreemly hard games =/ this article is teh failes.

Alright, I gotta ask, aside from the whole "single-handedly brought down the Atari 2600" and the story of the landfill in the desert, I don't really get why there's so much hate for the E.T. game. I knew E.T. was going to be number one before reading the list, because that's just the hip, acceptable thing to do. Sure, the game was an abysmal commerical failure, but it's hardly the worst game ever.

And after reading the article, this dude didn't even finish the E.T. game. He falls in a hole and never gets out? Maybe this guy just sucks at video games. I finished this game and I was 5 years old. Joust, Paperboy, Skate or Die, Fatal Fury and Ghosts n' Goblins on this list? B!tch, please.

Big Rigs on the PC? =O

Where is Back To The Future for NES? That game blew balls.

This guy's childhood must have been awful if he couldn't enjoy joust or elevator action, WHICH I still think they should redo that game with a story fitting of the box image.

Might not be among the top 10 worst games, but I hated it...

(It's a speed run so you can watch the whole game. Yeah right...)

That list blew. I loved skate or die when I was younger, it was the bomb. Paperboy? That was good for its time too. As was Joust.

MY LIST:

HALO 3 (MOST OVERRATED GAME OF ALL TIMES)

gears 2: boring game

fable 2

mario bros: boring game

50 cent

Fatal Fury Genesis?

Paperboy NES? Seriously???

Those are fun games!

Paperboy, 3 Stooges? Seriously? I had both carts and sure they did have some quirks - but it looks like the author just loaded up a few roms and sucked at them. What a poorly made list.

This guy obviously never played Sneak 'n Peek for the Atari 2600.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
