For worst real arcade game I nominate Dragon's Lair. Some of you young bucks won't remember it, but it was the first arcade game to use a laserdisc. The graphics were excellent, and revolutionary for the time, but honestly the game sucked. Basically there was no skill whatsoever. You just had to use trial and error to decide what move to make in each situation. If you made the wrong move, you died. It ate a lot of quarters.

What? Dirk the Daring was awesome. I will agree though that the game was frustrating. From what I recall, you had to move at precisely the moment the screen flashed. It wasn't as simple as just moving in the right direction. Sure you didn't have 360 degrees of freedom, but it was the 80s. Think of the other games of the time.
You want worst game ever? Journey. Someone should be taken out and shot for that POS."I knew in an instant that the three dollars I had spent on wine would not go to waste."

when I read the thread title this was the 1st thing that came to mind. It basically played like those choose your own ending books. you make a move and then watch what happens for the next 30 seconds. Man summer blows, I need snow yesterday. I posted a thread about Damn Yankees for God Sakes ! ! ! Ullr save me from myself.

Regular Pac Man sucks. That game is so slow you could leave the game refill your Roy Rogers and come back in time to snap up four ghosts.

Countdown until Lowtax fist-fucks you guys for leeching images off his bandwidth.
I wonder what he'll go with? Tubgirl.jpg? Pain.jpg? Pain2.jpg?
Either way, it's going to be a shit-storm of epic proportions.

Dragons Lair
I remember being at a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese and there was one older kid playing it (I'd say I was about 8??) and the crowd of rugrats around him (myself included) was about 6 rows deep. I thnk it was a $.75 game at the time!!
I was a Q-Bert and Crystal Castle fan... oh and Tapper (if I got that right - the game where you're the bartender??)

Some might say it's a lot funnier to catch leeches by swapping the images and schooling them in front of all their e-peers.Originally posted by tuffy109

Worst game, but addicting...
Pitfall by Intellivsion. I spent more time going the wrong way, knowing I had to come back, looking for gold bars......And the greatest ice must crumble when it's flower's time to grow.

Pitfall was made by Activision. You can still find it on the Activision self-contained Atari-like controller for around $15. I think it's got 10 games or so on it.Originally posted by mushmouth

The original Atari 2600 Pac-Man was a terrible game. I think I was on a waiting list for months for that. Then it comes out and basically sucks.
Personally, I think the worst arcade game is Dance Revolution. It's a stupid idea and the morons that spend $50 a day to jump around on it look rediculous. Just my opinion though...
