    Answers in these kinds of threads are always flat out wrong. Objectively speaking, most people haven't even touched on the "worst" games in these genres. Probably because those games are downright broken in so many ways (unresponsive controls, graphical glitches, etc.), often to the point of being unbeatable, and the average semi-informed gamer is smart enough to avoid them like the plague.

    The guy that listed Superman 64, E.T. 2600 and a couple of others hit the nail on the head. If someone enjoyed those two games, it was purely due to comic value. Let me go ahead and throw Big Rigs in there. Absolute unplayable crap.

    I'm not doing a top 5, one from each genre is enough.

    And only from games i've played. It's easy to say ET is probably the worst thing ever made but i've never played it so omit it.

    • MMO = Second Life (PC)
    • RPG = Eternal Ring (PS2)
    • FPS = Warhammer 40000: Fire Warrior (PC)
    • Strategy = Wartorn (PC)
    • Driving = Hot Wired (PC)
    • Puzzle = Bridge-It (CPC464)
    • Space/Flight = Combat Lynx (CPC464)
    • Sports = Sega Bass Fishing (PC)
    • 3PS = Reign of Fire (PS2)
    • Adventure = Lula 3D (PC)
    • Platformer = Roland in the Caves (CPC464)
    • Shooter = Dan Dare 2 (CPC464)
    • Fighting = Rise of the Robots (PC)

    -

    And for worst on each platform:

    • PS2 = Eternal Ring
    • PC = Lula 3D
    • PS1 = Bubsy 3D
    • CPC = Bridge-It

    Yes, i have played "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing" on PC, but that's so bad that it has a charm, if that makes sense. It's funny-bad, not horrible-bad.

    -

    I'd have to say that the flat-out worst game i've ever played is "Bridge-It" on the CPC.

    Not only is it a terrible idea, frustrating and boring, it was also buggy and sometimes didn't load properly. So parts of some levels were strewn randomly around the screen.

    Not that i've played. For me it was close between that and Reign of Fire. The reason i chose Eternal Ring was that i couldn't remember any of it, which means my brain must be blocking it out.
