So let us take a walk through the hall of horrible licensed games.<\/p>\n
It’s a remembrance, or rather a warning to our future selves.<\/p>\n
Duck Dynasty<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Duck](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/1350915368788_duck_dynasty_new_1920x960_Overlay_640_320-e1435478269645.jpg\")
<\/a>Considered one of the worst games of the 2014, and for good reason.<\/p><\/div>\n
Here we have a horrible reality show which received an even worse game adaptation.<\/p>\n
Duck Dynasty\u00a0<\/em>is a game where you hunt, race and pull off stupid pranks for hillbilly glory, as one of the Roberstons.<\/p>\nIn the game, you interact with the\u00a0family from the TV show. You can also hunt ducks of course.<\/p>\n
Or how about pursuing some\u00a0off-roading and\u00a0other stupid activities. This game really shouldn’t exist and why it exists is even more of a wonder.<\/p>\n
E.T. the Extra-Terrestria<\/span>l<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"E.T.](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/maxresdefault-1-e1435478689756.jpg\")
<\/a>This is presumed to be one of the worst licensed games ever.<\/p><\/div>\n
One of the worst licensed games ever: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial\u00a0<\/em>released for the Atari 2600 was buried in a landfills in New Mexcio and led to the first video game crash.<\/p>\nAll because one game about a friendly alien was rushed and programmed by one man, in one week.<\/p>\n
This was before the days of patches and fixes. So you can imagine kids’ faces realising what they had received as a Christmas present, what a horrible gaming atrocity.<\/p>\n
Superman 64<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Superman](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/superman-64-e1435479168985.jpg\")
<\/a>Flying through endless rings for all eternity. Simply put, the worst Superman game ever, period.<\/p><\/div>\n
Originally titled\u00a0Superman: The New Adventures<\/em>\u00a0and often referred to as\u00a0Superman 64<\/em>, this game is known as the worst Superman game… ever.<\/p>\nReleased for the Nintendo 64 (N64) this Superman game was based on Superman: The Animated Series<\/em> which was far superior to this piece of utter trash.<\/p>\nSuperman 64\u00a0<\/em>had you flying through endless rings with a timer, and no direction whatsoever.<\/p>\nInnate gamer torture and the stuff of nightmares. We dare \u00a0you speak its name!<\/p>\n
Shaq Fu<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Shaq](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/SNESbox-e1435479571456.jpg\")
<\/a>A 2D fighting game starring basketball player Shaquille O’Neal. What were they thinking?<\/p><\/div>\n
Shaq Fu<\/em> a 2D fighting game, starring\u00a0basketball player Shaquille O’Neal, was originally released for Sega Mega Drive and Super Nintendo (SNES).<\/p>\nThe game had the worst fighting mechanics of all time and was considered unplayable by both fans of the genre and critics alike.<\/p>\n
Now the game is getting a remake of sorts<\/a>, which is questionable and may lead to many unneeded deaths.<\/p>\nGhostbusters<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Ghostbusters](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/maxresdefault-2-e1435479948502.jpg\")
<\/a>Ghostbusters on the NES was an absurdly difficult game, The infamous staircase level still keeps many gamers awake at night.<\/p><\/div>\n
Ghostbusters<\/em> released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, or Golden China for South Africans, was one of the first licensed games to start the terrible trend that licenses games could never be decent.<\/p>\nLuckily in recent years, with the eventual release of a playable and enjoyable\u00a0Ghostbusters\u00a0<\/em>game for Xbox 360 and PS3, the bad taste has somewhat diminished.<\/p>\nBut for gamers who remember this problem child of the NES library, Ghostbusters\u00a0<\/i>featured horrible 8-bit graphics and horrid gameplay design.<\/p>\n
Gameplay included an\u00a0awkward car level where you had to capture ghosts, and a near impossible level where you and the Ghostbusters<\/em> had to traverse a staircase to a boss.<\/p>\nWe feel that it is good to remember the sins of the past, and licensed games are part of the terrible history.<\/p>\n
Now we finally have great licensed games with the likes of the\u00a0Batman Arkham\u00a0<\/em>series which is debatable with the latest game<\/a> in the series, especially for PC gamers<\/a>.<\/p>\nBut we have made progress and the past can now remain where it should, in the past.<\/p>\n
More On Batman’s Woes<\/strong><\/h3>\nBatman: Arkham Knight PC sales halted, get your money back<\/a><\/p>\nEverything wrong with Batman: Arkham Knight for PC, and who\u2019s to blame<\/a><\/p>\n
