Poll of the Day > What's your least favorite NES game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mine is King's Knight. Honestly there's worse on the NES, but I didn't own many NES games growing up. My dad usually bought the games because he also played them, but this time my mom brought home King's Knight after work. I never played it before my mom bought it for me. And if you've played it, it is so frustratingly hard and I disliked it so much, yet I could never say "this game is poop" because I didn't want to upset my mom. The weird thing is later on I figured out it was Squaresoft's first game. Maybe that's why I never moved to PlayStation when Final Fantasy hit its stride. Lingering memories of King's Knight.

I always wished that the Angry Video Game Nerd would do an episode on it.

I can't think of any NES games I particularly disliked.

Super Mario Bros. 3 -- and there's no "least favorite" about it, it's straight up dislike.

It's not so much that it is a bad game (it is a very component puzzle game) but the mechanics of it are just annoying. It starts out innocent enough, but eventually you just hate the fact that you can't stop your movement, enemies kill you in 2 hits (and sometime trap you so those 2 hits happen instantly), there is a time limit, the sounds are ear shattering annoying, and the levels are designed in such a way as to make you rage quit over and over. I think the only reason AVGN never reviewed it is because he only plays 5 minutes of a game before deciding if he should do a video on it. If he played for like 10 - 15 minutes more he probably would have done one on it.

Trolls on Treasure Island is an updated version of this game (with the Trolls license obviously) and is a million times more tolerable.

This honor would have to go to Donkey Kong Jr. Math.
