Bad games have been a blight upon the world for as long as video games have existed. Most likely, they always will be. From broken or bland design to poor technical execution, there are many ways a potentially good game can go bad and an equally long list of reasons a game might descend into the realm of endless suck.
Whether fun didn't make it into the budget or the final product buckled under the weight of overambition, bad games aren't that fun—unless they are.
Sometimes, a perfect cocktail of horrible execution can lead to something that contains all the hallmarks of a positive experience. Many games that have all the ingredients of an appalling mess, but are, somehow, perfectly edible and mindbogglingly delicious. Here are some of the "best" worst video games ever made.
Top picks for bad yet fun games
Jurrassic Park: Tresspasser
There have been a lot of games that have attempted to bridge the gap between movies and video games in terms of experience. Whether that involves making a game 95% FMV footage like Night Trap or by filling in gaps in the story, like Enter the Matrix, the idea of films and games being held in the same esteem has been a carrot dangling in the face of developers. Trespasser was another game reaching for that carrot. Promising to feature an experience that was as real as being in the film itself, it had no shortage of ambition. Its key features were a fully working dinosaur ecosystem and a real-time physics engine that powers everything from the items you pick up to how the dinosaurs move.
Unfortunately, ambition is only the first step of the process, and for Trespasser, every other step appears to have been a tumble down the stairs. The ecosystem didn't work out, so all the dinosaurs had their moods set to pure malice. Anne, the playable protagonist, manipulates the environment with an arm so rubbery it would make Surgeon Simulator 2013's avatar jealous. Combat boils down to raptors trying to rub their teeth on you while you try and jam a stick down their throat before you die of gingivitis.
The result of all this is a fun experience. The game keeps trying to put you into tense situations, but if the physics don't ruin the moment, a glitch surely will. Dinosaurs will often find their legs pivoting wildly back and forth, and if you catch one unaware, you might see it wildly pirouetting until it launches itself into space like it wants revenge on the meteor that wiped its kind out.
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
Released during an age when Sega was hellbent on rebooting the Sonic franchise, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was supposed to be the spearhead of a massive multi-media initiative meant to introduce this new, superhero-adjacent version of Sonic and his friends to audiences worldwide. While I'll argue with anyone that the Sonic Boom television series is an underrated gem, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was a game so broken it made Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 look like Game of the Year material.
Playing Rise of Lyric feels like walking around a carnival in a thunderstorm; everything around you seems at constant risk of being torn off the ground and flung into the sky. Everything from NPCs to breakable objects to crucial pieces of the levels' architecture jitter and wobble uncontrollably. If you ever decide this is too much of you, you can always do the infinite jump glitch with Knuckles and soar to the end of any stage. You'll believe an echidna can fly after you play this game.
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Imagine this: you're tip-toeing through the halls of a derelict spaceship, your only companion the feint beeps of idle computers and the hiss of crumbling pipes. Suddenly you hear something new from a nearby air vent: screeching footsteps getting louder with every. The grating launches from its moorings, and now you're standing face-to-face with a Xenomorth... which suddenly arches its back and starts kicking its feet-up like this is its first night on Broadway.
No, this isn't the diner scene from Spaceballs; this is how the average Xenomorph encounter in Aliens: Colonial Marines plays out. When the game's first trailer and demo debuted at E3 2011, it looked Alien fans were finally going to get the game they'd been dreaming about for years: a claustrophobic horror game that would show just what the "perfect organism" could do.
What they got instead was a shambling mess of glitches and masquerading as a complete video game. Thanks to the catastrophic lack of a single line of code, Alien: Colonial Marines' Xenomorphs scuttle around like the Roadrunner on a caffeine trip, rarely ever making a move ot attack players. And it's hilarious to behold. You need to slog through the game's terrible opening to get to your first Xenomorph, but once you do, you're in for a great time.
Elf Bowling
I've always found bowling to be super meditative. Granted, I can count the number of strikes I've gotten in my life on one hand, but rolling the ball down the lane has always been cathartic for me. That;s probably why I find Elf Bowling so endearing.
Santa's finally had enough of his elves complaining about their terrible working conditions. So he's taken them all out bowling, and he's using them as the pins. Outlandish premise aside, Elf Bowlign is a fairly standard bowling game; you lien up your shot, set your power, and send the ball down the lane and into a gaggle of foul-mouthed elves who'd rather be anywhere else.
There's not a lot going on here, but the sheer audacity of this game' premise makes it a wonderful holiday play. If boredom ever sullies your holiday spirit, head up to the North Pole and settle some labor disputes.
