House of the Dead: Overkill on the Wii.

Genuinely has a great (and hilarious) soundtrack.

My friend and I saw an ad on TV for Dance Central for Xbox 360 and the kinect. We had a good laugh. He ended up buying it for me for Christmas. For the joke, we played it and next thing you know, I mastered most of the dances and they are legit. Definitely up'd my dancing game at the club.

I bought Ace of Seafood, in which you can play as many kinds of fish that all shoot lasers out or their mouths at other fish.

It's absolutely baffling but probably not how you'd expect.. I found it pretty technical and demanding. It's like a very serious game where you fly F16s and dogfight and destroy aircraft carriers except everything is fish. It's Japanese to the max.

I paid about £6 for it on the Switch, did not play it enough to get my moneysworth. But I think once you hear the concept, you will never stop thinking about it until you try it, so I was glad to be able to stop thinking about it.

Quite a few, I'm one of those people. In fact, I could answer this question in so many different ways. The game I feel is the "prize" of my collection, though, is Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude.

I like the classic point and click Leisure Suit Larry games; I think they have a certain charm about them, and though they're drenched in sleaze, Larry in his quests for sex more often than not ends up the butt of the joke. Raunchy, sexual, but most importantly, mainly making fun of our protagonist desperately trying to get laid. The gameplay was fun too, point and click games have a certain feel that you don't see too much today. On top of all that, when the series moved into a more higher resolution art for LSL 4, 6 and 7 the series genuinely beautiful with an unforgettable style

LSL: MCL does not have much of this. You play truly horribly designed minigames over and over to progress. These range from bad to worse, and you will become the best virtual quarters player of all time by the end of it, I promise you. The comedy is reduced to 2000s boner comedy level, and it seems as though Larry (or Larry's nephew, Larry, in this case) is an unironic protagonist on a real quest, rather than failing upwards, accompanied by the constant mockery of our witty narrator. What once was a series about a hopeless sleazeball constantly petitioning and getting rejected by women out of his league got turned into a unironic college boning simulator. To top it all off, our beautiful art has been replaced by the early-2000s-est of 3D models and textures

I played it for 22 hours or so. Couldn't stop. It's like a car crash. Not only does it If any game deserves "so bad, it's good" status, LSL: MCL is at the top of the list.

For those kind enough to read my rant, here are some runners up from my shelf in which I assume you'd also be interested:

BCFX The Black College Football Experience: A college football game where only Historically Black Colleges and Universities are selectable. Only part of the game is really about football, because you also play as the band at halftime in a Rock Band-style minigame. It's such a niche game, with such a niche audience. Who probably won't even like the game because it doesn't play well at all.

Sneak King: C'mon, we all know this one. Premium, refined jank.

Fight Club: A fighting game based on the movie based on the book, where you can play as Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and also Abraham Lincoln should you so desire.

MTV's Pimp My Ride: PBG fans out there, time to represent. Basically just a minigame collection with some driving between. It did, however, teach me how to Ghost Ride the Whip, for which I am eternally grateful.

When I was in high school I saw a game called "Prison Tycoon" in a shopping mall Babbages and bought it for my brother as a dumb Christmas gift. I was in the store with a friend and we were kind of in shock. I remember my friend making a comment like "The box cover is just a cop beating a black man with a baton, how many people are involved in getting a game stocked by shopping malls?"

Shhh, I downloaded a ROM.

Drakengard. Good lord. What a game. Just.. just watch a video.

Goat simulator. Which as we now know is pretty fun.

Not a bad video game, but I thought I had zero chance of liking it. I bought American Truck Simulator for $2 and it's such a good zone out video with something (radio/e-book/etc) on in the background. When I'm too exhausted to think, but want to be slightly more engaged than just throwing something on TV, it's now my go to right now. I bought it on the most recent steam summer sale and have 20 hours into already. All of it on the Steam Deck.

Among Us, Nintendo Switch, cause I had a $5 BestBuy gift card I wasn't sure what else to do with. Never even booted a session yet.

Not really for laughs because it was a Christmas gift. Donkey Kong Jr. Math on the NES. I actually played it a lot because it was fun and had multiple game modes.

Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death.

It’s not as bad as I expected.

Placid Plastic Duck Simulator. Best game I've ever played.

Bad Rats frequently goes on sale for $0.25 and is somehow worth less than that. But it's become a meme to gift it to our friends

Sonic '06

Didn't buy it perse but Chex Quest.

Hentai vs Furries on Steam. Exquisite game with deep lore and a narrative rich with turns and twists at every corner. 11/10 powers of friendships

I got a game where you play as a piece of bread. I think it was called Toast?

Yeah, that didn't last too long as an installed game.

Sharknado VR. Got it on sale for half a dollar. Not bad for the price. It was about what I expected and with a playtime of about 30 minutes it didn't have the time to get stale.

BTW check out this playlist (and the rest of the channel too)

Krzyżacy - Knights of the Cross. But then it turned out it's not only hilarious but actually also have good gameplay, so i can recommend.

I made Diarrhea 4 as a joke. Does that count?

I bought and played many a bad game but never as a joke.
