It’s funny how bad games are sometimes MORE fun to play than good games… as long as you have a drink in hand and like-minded haters at the gamepad!

I’ve been putting together a timeline of the worst games ever made at http://timelines.com/topics/worst-video-games-of-all-time

Anyone is free to contribute… and there’s no way I’ll get them all!

Agreed on all counts, save the soccer management game. The best-selling sports games around the world are soccer (Football) manager games. Championship Manager, etc.

MJ game was not bad, I think the only thing that mad it disappointing was the fact that MJ was in it and everyon expected so much more.

Now Shaq-Fu was not bad at all, it’s time. Again just a game with higher expectations

Man I’ve never even heard of Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball. That game looks sick!

Did you actually play Chaos in the Windy City? Silly premise aside, it’s a very well executed platformer and it does not deserve a spot on this list or Nintendo Power’s, for that matter.

Anyone who actually played it would know that it’s one licensed game that actually worth a damn.

No way. Combat Basketball is rad. What’d ever do to you?

It’s sad, but I own 3 of these 5 games to this day. I love Chaos in the Windy City!

EA Sports has since put out a much better Arena Football game

So interesting, because MJ was always incredibly selective when he affiliated with a product, and he also maintained as much control over the final output as possible (His current Hanes spots are a different story…).

The copyright on the game says 1994 which is when he was between basketball stints, playing for the Birmingham Barons’ minor league baseball team, and perhaps thinking about broadening his appeal. That, or they paid him ridiculous gobs of money.

On the other hand, Bill Laimbeer’s combat basketball…now that’s a great fit for a celebrity endorser.
