What poor quality game did you enjoy as a kid?

What's a game you loved as a kid that you no longer vouch for or no longer can stand to play? Mine was Pilotwings for my SNES. It was a pretty miserable game. Just listen to that intro music tho. But as a kid, I went back to it time and time again. I never even KIND of succeeded at that game. What poor quality game did you love playing?

I really loved this Matrix game for PS2. It was really really hard but super fun to play but I don't think it actually really had much of a story and I went back to it a few years ago for nostalgia reasons and it's basically impossible to play now the controls are so so bad

I was obsessed with anything related to Mary-Kate and Ashley and idk if anyone else remembers but they had a PS1 game called Magical Mystery Mall?? You just kinda...walked around and played mini-games. Visually it was pretty rough but also little to no gameplay

Ah that's a good one. I played that a lot when I was a kid too. I definitely didn't know how to play at all, but I somehow still had fun

My first console was an Atari 2600.

I had the E.T. game, and I played it REPEATEDLY trying to figure it out, but it was such a buggy mess I never did. Didn't learn until an adult (when I had internet access) that it was considered one of the worst games ever.

Also wishing I could've kept the console and game, but we ended up selling it before I got my NES.

Alternatively, Dig Dug (again on the Atari). I actually figured out a method as a kid to always win every level, and played until the TV overheated.

Definitely old Lego games: lego Rock Raiders, Lego Island, Lego Racers, you name it
