ITT: Post games that are bad in a funny way. Can be old or modern, though considering the board’s theme I expect it to lean toward the former.
I’ll start with an up-and-coming camp classic, Exodus from the Earth. It’s a crappy Russian half-life clone and encasuplates everything that’s funny about Z-tier Russian shooters, wheter it’s the attempts at gritty noir narration ruined by Russia’s good-natured struggle with the english language
There’s plenty more of amusing material, so if you have time to kill, someone made a 4-part video series looking at the game’s many inept and funny moments.
NBA Jam is (in my opinion) one of those games. If you play it today, it legitimately feels like a bad and unbalanced mess. But it’s still a ton of fun to do the crazy dunks and talk trash to your opponent when doing so.
On topic: I secretly love Jaws on NES. It’s really repetitive, really easy, and really short, but for some reason it’s super relaxing for a quick playthrough.
The difficulty is just hilarious and some of the level design is just impossible.
I’ll have to try find a video when I’m back on a PC but they also have a “cutscene” between each level where Wally walks to the next place but he never walks directly there, it’s always a ridiculously arbitrary path that takes twice as long as it needs to… possibly to make the game feel longer, but who knows?
