Lee: The circumstance of the developers doesn’t make the game better or worse. We judge it on its own merits, of which it has fairly few. If a mentally deranged programmer hacks out a game that is so bad, people generally commit suicide five minutes after playing, i won’t excuse the game because i feel sorry for the developer–he can’t help he’s deranged and makes psychotic pieces of art.

Sure, there are worse games, but i think because of the licensing and mass production issues, this game is given special attention.

Greetings. Congrats on getting through the wisdom teeth surgury. I feel your pain and discomfort, mate.

And now for why I’m here. I’m posting this because I didn’t see anyone who posted something along these lines. (No, I didn’t go through all of the Comments. I don’t have THAT much time on hand.)

From my understanding, an Atari game took about six months to complete in it’s entirety. And it’s been claimed that the team that made this game was only given about 3-4 months to design, program, and create, just so it could coincide more with the movie release. Perhaps more people should consider this fact before ultimately declaring this the worst game of all time. These people honestly tried to make something from this.

Now then, fans, go back to picking on LJN, damnit! THAT’S the company who has caused many of us so much grief and pain! Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, two x-Men games, and god knows how many other liscenced titles.

That’s all from me. If you want to argue with me over this, go ahead and send me an e-mail, or a comment on my site. I’ll probably appear again some day, so keep an eye out.

Yeah… there needs to be underwear reviews NOT completely associated with painful experiences.
(Like Benzaie’s strip in the Phantasmagoria review.)

“Girl Gamers” may be rare- but obviously game reviewer fangirls are not.

God man… I’m surprised you didn’t regress into the mental state of a Rock… That game nearly broke my sanity in the first two minutes of playtime… Hardcore man… That’s all I can say…

I also Own this game, And Superman 64… Yeah, But I have Games Like Zelda OoT and The Original final fantasy to keep them at bay…

Actually ET looks pretty grand and complex compared the Atari games I had. Ever play Ocean City Defender? You just shoot stuff. That’s it. In ET you can run? You can teleport? Collect items? Get resurected? THERE IS AN ENDING YOU CAN WATCH??? Wow. All the Atari games I remember had none of those options. Hmm…I think people are very wrong about this being the worst game

(You could have tried the teleport thing both to escape AND to save steps. More importantly, if you are down to less than 2k life, why not just reset since you won’t win this time anyway? I wonder: instead of falling into the pit 5 times in a row, could you just wait there and telepot to the next screen when an arrow pops up?)

The guy that looks like your grandma doesn’t take away your stuff does he? Well if you are getting chased by the FBI Agent then the best way to elude him might be to try and find the orderly guy and have him take you away. But then again I don’t know if the FBI guy can still take your shit when you’ve captured by the orderly.
