The Very Worst: 1992
There are some great budget bargains, but there are some real dogs, too. And this following lot are the ones you should leave well alone, unless you want to pay £3.99 for a blank tape ('cos that's about all they're good for.)
Dizzy Panic (CodeMasters)
A dismal attempt to keep the egg's name alive with a puzzling Klax clone. Make yourself a cheese souffle, you'd have much more fun. 13%
World Cricket (Zeppelin)
Cricket has to be the most tedious game ever. Why make it even more boring? 20%
3D Stock Cars 2 (Challenge)
Tiny remote control thingies run around a sad little track. If you bought this, you must be very, very stupid indeed. 25%
Sky High Stuntman (Codemasters)
The worst attempt to make a shoot-'em-up that little bit different that I have ever had the misfortune to come across. 25%
Soccer Rivals (Cult Games)
Sports management games should be drowned at birth. Dull, dull, deadly dull. 31%
Vendetta (Kixx)
A fighting, driving pile of poo. Slow isn't the word for it - you could sell your house in between screens! 33%
Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (Kixx)
The slowest, most dull idea for a platform game that has graced my C64's memory. 35%
Crossfire (Atlantis)
Not released on its own, but as part of the Four Game Pack, this deserves a special mention for being the worst game anyone has ever seen. An appalling shooting gallery thing, it's supposed to be based in Chicago, but it looks more like High Wycombe. Unmarkable
