    Terrible Game

    Gameplay is nonsensical and just not fun to play. There are reasons this game is considered to be the worst game of all-time, and it is.

He is aided by Elliott, and pursued by an FBI agent who will steal a piece of his ...

      This game, based on the film of the same name, was designed by the creator of 1981's Yars' Revenge, Howard Scott Warshaw, who accepted a job of making the entire game in only five and a half weeks.

Because of its large part in the '83 North American video game crash, it is officially the worst game of all time an...
