Some of the worst games written. - an IFDB Poll
by Bishopofbasic
RSS FeedThe last time I put up a poll, I got some really great games, and loved playing them. So now I'm looking for some of the worst IF games ever created within the community. Something in the likes of Ed Wood.
| zork, buried chaos, by Brad Renshaw 2 votes "Zorkian Stories 1..." [+]"Zorkian Stories 1 is a masterpiece compared to this uninspired jumble of buggy spartan rooms. It doesn't even have anything to do with Zork." --David Welbourn... (No comment) [+](No comment) ( ) --Lance Cirone...  Vote for this game | |
| The Garlic Cage, Episode I, by Taro for writing , NOM3RCY for programing 1 vote "Untested garlicky..." [+]"Untested garlicky badness! Typos! No logic at all!" ( ) --verityvirtue... Vote for this game | |
| Detective, by Matt Barringer 1 vote "This game was outright terrible" [+]"This game was outright terrible: This is by far the worst game I have ever played. It was so bad they made a mystery science theater 3000 on it." --CHEESEROBOT... Vote for this game | |
| Rippled Flesh, by Ryan Stevens 1 vote "Unlike other bad IF, this one seems to have been a serious entry" [+]"Unlike other bad IF, this one seems to have been a serious entry: We all know about Detective, but that was written as a first attempt by a 12-year-old I believe. Anybody can also just bang out another Pick Up The Phone Booth And Die in a matter of minutes. But there's no excuse for this story. There's a mishmash of horror movie chichés, misspellings, guess-the-verb headaches, illogical puzzle solutions, and a "surprise" ending to leave you wondering why you wasted your time." --mjhayes...
