The Not-so-Good Games

As I was doing my daily dose of YouTube today, I notice a segment posted by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in 2013 (when it was still called Late Night with Jimmy Fallon at that time) titled the "Do Not Game List". In this segment, Jimmy listed a bunch of existing video games which he considered as a wasted of time and money. In many cases, I kind of agree with him.

Let's think about it this way, these game paved the way of video gaming, demonstrated what NOT to do in a video game. But if you so choose to try them yourself, I've listed locations where you can either download (play the game using emulator-ROM) or purchase them for your personal enjoyment.

1. Hooters Road Trip (PS1) - a simple arcade style racing game that has nothing to do with Hooter, except may be the title screen or the end game screen.

2. Captain Novolin (NES) - a side-scrolling platform game involved a diabetic (super!?) hero.

4. Where's Waldo? (Nintendo) - Similarly to the book, player needs to help Waldo get to the moon by finding him on each screen.

5. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Atari 2600) - This is a video game version of the feature film which has the same name. This basically marks the beginning of the curse of terrible adaptational video games from movies. We are still suffer from that curse until this day.
