Top Ten Shameful Games

Not necessarily the worst, but the most wrong -- here are 10 of the most seriously flawed titles of all time.

Steel yourself for some of the most shameful, pain-inducing video games out there. Are these the worst games of all time? Well, that depends on your definition of "worst." Is it worse for a game to be boring, offensive, poorly designed, or simply stupid? It's hard to say, and there are plenty of games out there that fit one or more of those descriptions. It doesn't take much to be simply a bad game, but to be truly shameful, a game has to have something more... or maybe less. If the game makes you wince, it probably has that special something.

Maybe it has to do with expectations. Let's face it -- you expect some games to be bad. If they aren't, you're pleasantly surprised; if they are, you quickly put them away and forget about them. But the truly shameful games have something fundamentally wrong with them that makes them stick out as examples of flawed game design, even if they do manage to include a few redeeming factors. So, these 10 titles may not be the WORST of all time, but they are far, far from being the best. Now, on with the list!

    10. Impossible Mission (Atari 7800)

    9. Donkey Kong (Intellivision)

    8. Bebe's Kids (Super NES)
