Never heard of it. Which proves your point if anything else. If we're talking worst ever games here, then one particular 'classic' springs to mind. Cheesy 3D, a PS1 game, was released in the wake of popular platformers such as Crash and Abe's Odyssey, and was hoping to leech off the sudden demand for jumping puzzles, colourful environs, and the pointless, bloody minded task of collecting random things in the pursuit of boosting one's self-esteem. I'll be brief: The music was like a cross between a lamb being sawn in half while conscious, a chicken being used as a basketball, and Steps. The graphics had more jagged edges than Tall Euan's hair. There was a loading time for jumping. JUMPING, I tell you. Another flaw, which turned out to be the game's one saving grace, was that it was briefer than a sickly, elderly gnat in a firestorm. And it's a big firestorm. I consigned this game to the Nevada desert long ago, where it no doubt sits as a puddle of black plastic somewhere on top of a dune where it can do no further harm to mankind. But the shadow of Cheesy lives on inside my mind. Some nights, I still wake up screaming at the ceiling, the tune of the opening level still bouncing around my head...

I have those same reactions to the first playstation game my mom ever bought me: Barbie (possible Race and Ride). You got on a horse and it rode you round a beach and you had to solve puzzles and stuff like that. It was quickly taken back, replaced by Tomb Raider and my sanity was left intact for another day.
P.S. "The graphics had more jagged edges than Tall Euan's hair." <<---- love it!

I actually had the misfortune of having Superman 64 bought for me. I cried so much.
Though, there was one good bit.

I bet Rob's had that said to him on more than one occasion, if you know what I mean. (Ennuendo rears it's ugly head once more...)

Yes that would be Barbie Race and Ride missjen is explaining.
I was sad enough to love that game at one point. Mary Kate and Ashley's Winner's Circle would be another example of bad music, bad gameplay and bad graphics that young horse-loving girls play anyway, fully aware that they are bad but having little choice as there is very little else out there as interesting as the games where you can pretend to groom a pixalated horse called 'Sunbeam'.
Horse Racing Manager was terrible though. Utterly impossible.
