Personally to personal and honest the worst thing that could ever be created into a game is well, the........ i dont really like saying this (but i do) the "SMURFS"

It would mostly be competing over the odly numbered "ONE" chick smurf.

And the slow realization that the guy chasing after you will soon capture you because you are very "TINY AND BLUE".

Thank YOU.

If they did the Se7en Smurfs thing it'd be good.

Well I always thought Oregon Trail sucked because I couldn't go two turns without getting tuberculosis every time, and breaking my axles, and having to kill my oxen to survive...

the list goes on.

And yet there was a Smurf game. Give me a minute to rummage around the Atari game box...

Ah, there it is: "Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle" for the Colecovision, which is odd that I'd find it in the Atari box. Odder still is that we never had a Colecovision, but this is neither the time nor place to be contemplating this conundrum. Obviously, I have never actually played this game, what with not possessing the system and all, but I have seen video, and, well, this is right up there with E.T. for the Atari 2600, which I sadly also have (plus a working 2600 to boot). To round out my list of worst things that could be made into games... this is difficult to say... Garfield. I know, Garfield remains today the most popular comic strip on the planet, but his time has passed. I still read it on the rare occasions when Paws Inc decides to bring out a new compilation book, but it's really going through the motions at this point. The wit, the charm, the spark, they're all gone, and game-wise, nothing good has ever come of it. Come to think of it, that last sentence verbatim could easily be applied to "The Simpsons".

Okay, so I lied when I said Garfield would round out my list, because the Simpsons dovetailed so beautifully into it. Instead, this which occurred to me while typing up there will round out my list: games having anything to do with fast food franchises, possibly expanding to any sort of corporate mascot game. McKids for the NES, Sneak King for the PC, Cool Spot... okay, that wasn't too terrible, but the first two... do I really need to say anything more than the title of the first two?

Alright, I know ADEN_ADES was looking for games that would be bad if they were made into games, and I prattled off one that already were. I'm still proud of my list, even if it does show a keen lack of imagination on my part and more of a total useless trivia recall. My point is: I honestly and truly don't care.

Oh, and if memory serves me correctly (total useless trivia recall), the Smurf game did indeed feature the odd "one chick smurf" who I want to call Smurfette and I also want to say there were eventually other female Smurfs (shouldn't it be "Smurves"?) but no one ever cared about them. I realize I could research that kind of thing, but it's midnight, and that would require effort on my part, so instead, I'm just going to stop typing now.

I would like a smurf game as long as the geeky girl smurf was in it.

The worst in my mind, though, has to be a Nursing Home game. Instead of training dogs and cats, or ponies; you train old people. That's the worst thing that could be made into a game.

There are so many disastrous video game ideas out there. Unfortunately, every time someone brings up a horrible idea, a game developer somewhere (and Uwe Boll... inevitably Uwe Boll is on hand) says "brilliant, let's make it!"

For some really horrible ones, though?

"Frank Miller's SPCA"
"Operation: Cornfield Nebraska."
"Arpeg the Titmouse in the Dustbunny Kingdom."
"Dreidel Simulator"
"Crackwhore 3D"
"Buto, the Mandarin Orange Slicing Ninja"
"Silent Fridge..."
"The Adventures of Fork in Light Socket Land"
"Resident Emu"
"Fish Packer Extreme!"
"Anne Frank's Hide and Seek Challenge"
"Moaning Myrtle and the Toilet Pipe Labyrinth"
"Biff Spelunker: Podiatrist Detective"
"Video Games Anonymous: The Video Game"
"Buckingham Dance-A-Palooza"
"God of Warble"
"Ann Coulter's Bikini Beach Volleyball"

Meh, I think that's enough horror for now.

An Alfred Hitchcock game, specifically The Birds. Don't know if it's been done before, but it just seems like it would be Resident Evil with one enemy.

Rear Window, on the other hand, would freakin' rule.

A Bum Fight Manager...or an FPS of the A-Team...latter might sound great until you realise that you always shoot rifles, but never kill anyone (except faceless goons in exploding cars)...

A game that is based on the TV show "Deal or No Deal". A game based on a tv-show based on complete random chance. That would be like rolling a dice, only much more boring and anoing. Oh, wait a minute.

Super Flash Bros did that already. It was a pretty fun little minigame to play while waiting for Decline 2 to load haha.
Wouldn't buy it if it cost money though >.>

There was some game on one of the Colecovisions that was about an American predidential debate.

That is the worst game ever.

How about a video game that mimics real life? For instance, you could go shopping at the grocery store and have to deal with a barrage of incoming calls from the wife telling you what else she thought of since you left the house three minutes ago. It would be a challenge to get through an aisle without the phone ringing suddenly. Than you get to go into bonus rounds where you go home and she nags you about all the things you forgot. Than as a added feature, she withholds sex for a month because you forgot to buy paper towels. Like real life, this is a game you could never win. There would be a health bar, which you could never fill because theres no way to stop your wife from slowly killing you from the inside out. Maybe the sequel could be taking your kids to the store while your wife sleeps with your best friend. Brilliant!

I think this is called GTA IV. If they all weren't criminals in that game, there'd be a level where you did your taxes.

Anywhere where you make the exact same game, ever so slightly tweak the graphics, change the year number and call it a new game.
