I'm sure more than one of you has run into a game that was just frightfully bad before. Listed above are some of the more abysmal titles, and if you've ever played one of these or any other horrible games, let us know here.

I feel bad for anyone who has played any of these.

No joke. These are all some of the worst games of all time, and unfortunatly, I have had the mispleasure of playing one of these atrocities.

How can you put Pac-Man up there? Seriously...
I'm not voting, because I can just say 'About 80% of the DS games rated 3+' and get it in one.

I can only say I've played Superman 64... which is possibly the worst birthday present ever.
By the way, Chase, the Pac-Man that is being referred to in the poll includes "new features" such as blinding colours, degraded graphics, grating sounds, and the ability to crash not only the game, but the video game industry.

Yoshi's Story. It's not the worst game in the universe, but it's pretty bad. Nintendo just pulled it out of their arse to cash in on the success of Yoshi's Island, which was brilliant, and thus Yoshi's Story the subject of my unrelenting ire.
Also, Superman 64 walks among games, but it is not one of them. It is the ungame, some foul perversion of gaming that we can only presume was unleashed upon an unwitting populace by a mind so twisted it is beyond the comprehension of wholesome men.

I always hated 'movie games', and always will be.
Superman and Charlie's Angels.
That was painful.

Having only played one game on this list (and having fond-ish memories of it), I'll have to pick one based on experience of the franchise.
I'll go with Shadow. Anything with Shadow in it is bound to be awful.

When I listed South Park, I mainly meant the PlayStation version. The playstation version is horrible, but the Nintendo 64 version is just mediocre.

E.T. I loved it when I was a kid. But not it annoys the hell out of me.

Star Trek:Encounters (2006) for PS2.
The multiplayer skirmish mode was hilariously bad. Wiggling the stick will move you around in a two dimensional XY plane and that's fine, but pressing the shoulder buttons will elevate you up and down the z axis, at which point you cannot interact at all with any sucker who remained at the original height. Not that you could tell in any way whatsoever how 'high' you were- the only reference point in the background (black, with stars, lots of) is a huge planet whose sole purpose is to distort your controls even further via some sort of gravity effect.
Luckily, the developers must have realised how impossible it was to navigate/orient yourself/locate anything, so there's these big-ass orange arrows that point to the other players. They don't help all that much, but they do reduce the realism and immersion from zero to zero.
In the off-chance that you end up within shooting distance of the other player, there is a range of variables that you can adjust to affect your firepower, shields and speed. They don't seem to make any discernable difference to anything really, but its fun to move some sliders around and shout "all power to phasors!" as you drift slugglishly along and utterly fail to hit anything at all due to the ridiculous combination of clunky controls, poor camera angles and a screwed up 2.76 dimension arena.
Great game. I never got around to trying the single player.
