... Welcome to 2003 guys!

I played it once... it was terrible. I dont even understand how they made it so bad. :P

I made a game for the publisher that released this

oXYnary · Dec 2009

Publisher or the actual Developer?

Later, I would never admit in public.

Got in an argument with another indie developer about bad games. My stance, turn people off the company and future releases. His stance? People don't care, and look at each game or product individually versus history. Tried to use this game as an example to show him wrong, but he had never heard of it.

I would add this to the list of "things we don't talk about in public".

Sadly, the first production game I ever worked on was probably the worst game I've ever played. Though it was 3x better than Big Rigs! lol. Averaged a 3.0 review. Sooo bad.

Castles & Catapults (released April 2003)

Hey, at least with names like that you know what you're getting into. That castles and catapults game had nothing but some castles...and catapults.

Steve Schulze · Dec 2009

I worked with one of the guys who did Superman 64, one of the other "worst games ever".

Mark Dygert · Dec 2009

I had to support Castles and Catapults when I worked in tech support for Atari.
Those where some pretty pissed off customers.

But Atari had worse... 911 Fire Rescue. There was a bug where you couldn't actually pick up the people to rescue them...

i'm sure a crash-free session of each of these games is likely to last longer than one of Fallout 3 on PS3

makes me want to puke

I remember playing an adventure game once that was amazingly bad in a good way. I think I played it through a pc emulator like mame. It was something like bobs dangerous adventure or something silly like that and all it consisted of was basic imagery and a question and if you answered wrong your character would die in a horrible way that related to the question being asked.

lmao!! Small world man, haha.
And yeah, I BET they were pissed. I left about 5 months before the "game" shipped. Worst. Studio. Ever.

Desert bus driver looks like fun...
Bought this on pc, you can't change any buttons and the gameplay is pretty poor;

You have maximum Balls!!! Hahaha!!

Lord McMutton · Dec 2009

That E.T. game nearly brought about the end of video games, didn't it?

Disco Stu · Dec 2009

Uhh yeah scarface was almost as bad as the godfather games!
If mafia 2 is an console oriented crapgame loosing all its roots to the best game ever
but still making 3 billion in a few weeks i may have to throw my computer out of the
window. Damm these consoles destroying almost every pc game!

It doesn't count if it's designed to be a nigh unplayable game. That video doesn't really give an indication of what the game is all about. You have to drive from Arizona to Las Vegas, going at a maximum of 45 miles per hour. In realtime. This takes 8 hours. There is no scenery and no traffic. The wheels are out of alignment so the bus pulls to the right so the player can't simple wigh down the accelerator and go watch tv.

They have a sponsored Desert Bus session to raise money for Child's Play every year. I think this years is going on as we speak

I remember people and reviews going, "yo these may be gta clones but they aint bad, they have their own thing going."

I am always super-duper open minded so I gave em a go, they didn't play the pc version like I did, oh the horror...

Yozora · Dec 2009

scarface looks acceptable imo, not even in the same league as big rigs. Even superman 64 looks decent in comparison to big rigs.

The Best, Worst Game EVER!
