Welcome to the SFDebris Worst Game Poll. This summer we will be working through a series of polls to determine the worst game ever. The rules are as follows:
1) We will be working through five groups of games, grouped in chronological order. The "winners" of these polls will advance to the finals.
2) After the first round, the five groups will be shuffled together, to form new groups, and the "winners" of these polls will round out the finals.
3) During the finals, the poll will be to determine the best game of the remaining. After eliminating 9 other games, the Worst Game Ever will be selected.
4) I don't vote, but do break ties.
Descriptions
Action 52 (1991)
Dark Seed II (1995)
The main character is so inept he requires alien technology to win a carnival games, even though he has unlimited tries. You need to talk to everyone in town over and over again to advance the plot. There's exactly one point in the game where you can end up walking dead, and it's not entirely obvious that this happens. There's a room with literally dozens of drawers and none of the drawers contain anything. The pacing of the plot is ridiculously slow and the ending is a shaggy dog story.
Bubsy 3D (1996)
The Mystery of the Druids (2001)
The main character is an incompetent troublemaker, though at least his co-workers rightfully hate him. You poison and rob a homeless man because you can't afford to make a phone call. You hide an important item in your room, even though you could just carry it around to keep it safe, which causes it to be stolen. Many other puzzles have no logic to them, such as destroying a tomb with sea salt.
