Looking to watch our show, but daunted by the size of our video back catalogue? Might I suggest our "Suggested Viewing" playlist on YouTube, comprised of hand-picked episodes we feel serve as some of the best on-boarding onto the Bad Game Hall of Fame! youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
'Castlevania: The Adventure' released on this day in 1989.
Castlevania's first Game Boy outing hadn't quite been whipped into shape before release; between pixel-perfect platforming, cruel power-down mechanics, and sluggish performance. What a horrible night to have a handheld.
You can watch us play through this accursed adventure in full in our "Castlevania Curios Collection" episode: youtube.com/watch?v=k4Ql940F…
'Hoshi Wo Miru Hito' released on this day in 1987.
Perhaps the most infamous RPG of the Famicom era, and renowned as "Densetsu no Kusoge" ("Legendary Shit Game") in its native Japan. Travel through walls, over oceans, and eventually into space in this utterly lawless adventure.
ou can watch our playthrough of the game here, presented in loving memory of @destroyed4com4t: youtube.com/watch?v=slgIkKso…
'Cheesy' released on this day in 1996.
An oddball 2.5D platformer for the PS1 (originally intended for the Atari Jaguar), starring a stressed-out mouse with a gun for an arm. Released to negative reviews, mostly honing in on its poor controls and pesky perspective issues.
We'd be downright cheesed if you watched our full, commentated playthrough of the game here: youtube.com/watch?v=93F6VdzQ…
'Blackwater' released on this day in 2011.
An utterly shameless propaganda piece developed on behalf of the world's most notorious PMC (who'd rebranded before the game launched). Controlled by means of the Kinect, further adding to the tactical realism of committing war crimes.
Our October edition of "F(r)ight Night" is up now on YouTube! Will our combatants survive this assortment of slap-em-ups, or will they succumb to the spookiness? youtu.be/HT9HY3-MF3c
'Skyscraper' released on this day in 2008.
A budget FPS take on 'Die Hard' with a vision-impaired chemist dweeb for a protagonist, by way of the developers behind 'Beverly Hills Cop' on PS2 -- published by no less than shovelware titans Midas Interactive.
Tuck into a slice of cake and tune in to our full playthrough here. Be warned that you might accidentally wind up finding this game charming: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
'Legendary' released on this day in 2008.
One of a small handful of titles published by the short-lived Gamecock Media Group. An FPS which pits you against mythological creatures, dismally muddy visuals, and an endless procession of mindless combat encounters.
You can open up Pandora's Box and watch our playthrough here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
The first episode of our 'From Dusk Till Dawn' playthrough is up now on YouTube! Tune in for the history behind this curious tie-in game, experiments in slow motion, and more vampires than you can shake a stake at. youtu.be/g3c3ps3I2Cc

‘Extreme Paintbrawl’ released on this day in 1998.
Marketed as "The First Non-Violent 3D Shooter." Reportedly developed in just two weeks time, and leveraging a half-functional version of the Build engine that functions exclusively within MS-DOS running on Windows 95.
(In)famously features a soundtrack by musician Todd Duane, consisting of supposed "demo" tracks that had been submitted for the company's approval -- intended to be finished later. This never came to pass.
Todd later released the same demos as an album. youtube.com/watch?v=VLBxESMl…
You can watch us play through the game in full (as well as walk folk through how to properly configure the game for themselves) as part of our "Painful Paintball Games!" video: youtube.com/watch?v=qf88hzqx…
'Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green' released on this day in 2005.
An underwhelming tie-in game to the underwhelming Romero zombie flick. Suffers from monotonous combat, braindead enemy AI, and haphazard level design. Its multiplayer mode did manage some longevity on PC.
A new episode of "Bad Game Chance Time" is up now on YouTube! In space, no one can hear Owen Wilson screaming in Tibet. youtu.be/Ds6hrlERioc
