2. Custer's Revenge

It's quite wrong for anyone to think that Custer needs or deserves any revenge. Then, it's even worse to go and program a computer game called this. It's yet even worse to make the whole point of this game a challenge where you have to move a naked Custer (bar cavalry hat, boots and a bandana) across a screen and force yourself upon a native American.

Yet, that's exactly the entire point of Custer's Revenge, which was promoted on the packaging as, "She's not about to take it lying down, by George! Help is on the way. By God! He's coming." The appalling game play is just a final smack in the face for this absolutely appalling title, which as the dubious pleasure of also being listed on our Top 10 most controversial games ever list.

1. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is infamously known as the worst game ever made - and we can't disagree. The point of the game is to race lorries filled with illegal cargo avoiding the police on the way.

This would be nice if there were any police but, as they were never programmed, avoiding them is pretty damn easy. Instead, it's a rather straight-forward racing game, where you have to beat your computer-controlled opponent. As your opponent never actually moved in the original release, this is another simple task (a patch was later issued that allowed your opponent to move).

In case that wasn't easy enough, there's also no collision detection, so therefore no obstacles avoid, largely negating the need for any kind of steering controls. In short, it's the worst game ever and completely and entirely pointless. If you don't believe us, just read the full Gamespot review.
