First thought was E.T., a game which probably has (from this site's demographics) a higher rate of "learned about it in the context of worst games ever" than people who have actually played it.

I'd personally believe that Big Rigs deserves the title, but Paratroopa is entirely right. People would just nominate all of the hot recent buzz games.

That's ignoring demographics, you have to think of what the worst game would have been in 2008.

Anyway I thought of Big Rigs and it's probably true.

The point isn't to think! It's to just look at the suggestion and go with whatever immediately pops into your head. I'm inclined to agree we'd get some sort of hate rally for Fallout 76 or Sonic 2006 or something like that, but that requires more thinking than "oh hey a game infamous for being shit popped into my head"

Counterpoint: The best games of all time according to GameFAQs are Ocarina (1998), FFVII (1997), and Chrono Trigger (1995). People will have a similar fondness for the absolute worst games from that time, and Superman fits in nicely.

This topic made me realise that it's weird Allen once tried to get worst character ever off the ground, but dropped it mainly because the nomination process was becoming overcomplicated - but never tried it with games which would have been a far simpler thing to nominate for

I don't know why I decided to make a bracket for this, but I did anyways. Apologies for hijacking your topic, Zen. All the following games have Metascores under 75 on all platforms, if they have a Metascore, and all are listed as they appear in GameFAQs' database:

(1) Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing vs. (8) Zero Wing
(4) Duke Nukem Forever vs. (5) Aliens: Colonial Marines
(3) Mighty No. 9 vs. (6) Bomberman: Act Zero
(2) Zelda's Adventure vs. (7) Metal Gear Survive

(1) Pokmon GO vs. (8) Operation Shadow
(4) Star Wars Battlefront II vs. (5) Assassin's Creed Unity
(3) Bubsy 3D vs. (6) Mario is Missing!
(2) E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial vs. (7) Custer's Revenge

(1) Fallout 76 vs. (8) Wii Music
(4) Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric vs. (5) Action 52
(3) Warcraft III: Reforged vs. (6) Animal Crossing: amiibo festival
(2) Superman: The New Superman Adventures vs. (7) Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5

(1) Sonic the Hedgehog vs. (8) Plumbers Don't Wear Ties
(4) Final Fantasy: All the Bravest vs. (5) Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
(3) Link: The Faces of Evil vs. (6) Anthem
(2) Hotel Mario vs. (7) FarmVille

I fully expect to be pilloried for including Pokmon GO, but I'd argue it's foolish to think it wouldn't be way up there in terms of nominations, which would leave the decision to Allen.
