Top 10 Worst Video Game Consoles
They can’t all be winners. Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we’ll be counting down the top 10 worst video game consoles. For the purposes of this list, we’ll be talking specifically about hardware blunders rather than fads or trends. The Xbox 360’s Red Ring of Death has been covered… uh, to death, but the 360 was a popular and successful despite these flaws; nothing that you’ll see on this list came close to that.
My Arcade Archives Wishlist
Hamster is a wonderful company! They are in the business of bringing games to the Switch, and other systems, games that I not only saw in the arcades, but also in the corner of any gas station or some grocery stores. I have such fond memories of a lot of games, and not only is it Hamster, but Johnny Turbo and, to a small degree, Sega, are bringing back the classics at a reasonable price. But here is a list of games I'd love to see.

Could you get turned on from looking at an 8-bit character? In the 1980s, all video games were 8-bit, and some companies were crazy enough to try their hand at making erotic, adult video games for geeks who hadn't yet heard of Playboy. Shockingly enough, there were people out there who bought these titles! Why? We still aren't sure. The worst part though? Developers only double-downed as graphics got better in a lot of instances!
Ossiana M. TepfenhartPublished 5 years ago in Gamers10 Games Worse Than 'E.T.'
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial was a big deal in theaters when it came out in 1982. The story about a boy on earth befriending an alien touched our hearts, so naturally, there had to be a video game. Atari commissioned Howard Scott Warshaw, who created Yars' Revenge and the Raiders Of The Lost Ark Atari game, to make the E.T. game. The result was a glitchy, buggy mess, put together in a month. E.T. was widely regarded as the worst video game ever created, even getting blamed for the Great Video Game Crash of the 1980s, and even drove Warshaw from the video game business entirely.

10 Forgotten Video Game Heroes You Miss (Or Never Even Saw)
When I was young, I wasn't allowed to have the expensive video games everyone else did. I didn't get Super Mario. Hell, I didn't get Sonic the Hedgehog until I was 14 and the game was over 10 years old.
Iggy PaulsenPublished 5 years ago in Gamers 'Pokemon Stadium' Review
Many people who grew up in the 90s on Nintendo 64 games remember playing Pokémon Stadium as children engaging in countless battles within the game and with their friends for hours on end. And while those people (including myself) still love the game even to this day due to nostalgic memories, there are more reasons to enjoy the game in completing it as an adult.
Neal SastryPublished 6 years ago in Gamers5 Surprisingly Dark Video Games from My Childhood
As a kid, I remember coming home from school and bolting to a tiny little television on which my Playstation 1 was hooked up to. I’d spend hours upon hours of time playing some of my favorite games, and it’s something I never really outgrew. Today, about 15 years later, I still enjoy playing video games. I’ve had the privilege to own a handful of different consoles, which also means that I’ve came across some seriously dark video games.
Julia CrawfordPublished 6 years ago in GamersMost Difficult Retro Games
Is it just me, or are retro games much, much harder than modern games? Today's improved graphics probably help, as I find it hard to even figure out what's going on in some super-vintage arcade games. Another consideration is the fact that arcades wanted kids to keep pumping quarters into the machines, so quick game-overs were profitable. Regardless of the reasoning, I have definitely noticed that we, as gamers, are drawn to punishing difficulty within games. With that in mind, here are some of the most difficult retro games to ever appear in old arcades, as well as on early home consoles like the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Genesis.

A game of strategy, chess is, no doubt, one of the most well-known games in the world. It may also be able to claim itself on of the oldest.
