Dishonorable Mention #5 AKA the worst game ever made - Earthbound (1995, SNES)

Putrid shit. I played this game at first because some guy named Ness was in Smash Bros. He was a letdown right away. I heard you could unlock Nes, and thought it was a living NES you could play as, so when I unlocked him and saw it was this dorky kid, major letdown. Thing was, he was a blast to play as and became my second main behind Kirby. So I played Earthbound, was not impressed and moved on like 2 hours in. Years later a guy in high school was a huge Earthbound guy. Like lived on Starmen.Net or whatever it was. Would not shut up about this game. So I made a deal with him. You play my favorite game, and I will give Earthbound another chance and finish it. My god did I get the shit end of the stick on that deal. Earthbound is fetid horseshit. The game plays like a bad 1988 NES game, except it came out on SNES in 1995. The graphics are hideous. The characters are awful. Poo? Seriously? Poo. The music is bland and generic. The story is god damn awful. Everything is just bad. There is not a single redeeming quality to this game. So I hated the entire experience and he really enjoyed the game I suggested to him. When I told him how much I didn't enjoy it, his response "but dude they eat a magic cake" It was at this point I realized why he and others liked the game. It was for morons. A person of insanely low intellect would of course be enthralled by some colors and a kid that wears a hat. The magic cake has none of the subtle brilliance of Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy. It is more like making popcorn then eating the bag and throwing out the popcorn.

If you like this game, that is fine. It is okay that you have the brain of a tape measure.
