WTF moments in gaming history.

Playing as the Arbiter in Halo 2. They tried to pull a Kojima stunt. At least you got to play some levels as Master Chief.

WTF was up with Paperboy? How can a game so simple be so difficult?

Lolz....I still love playing that game from time to time. Seriously, WTF??

WTF is up with Pitfall, jumping on alligators noses? and yet i was compelled to keep playing just to get and find the damn gold bars!

Forgot about this one. Another reason I didn't like that one so much.

Pretty much this whole game was wtf:

silent hill.

I can't remember which one it was, but it was on the first playstation.

It was the bit at the start of the game where you had to run through some back alley only to be cornered and killed by the monsters chasing you.

Ghosts and Goblins being the most frustrating game in the history of games. WTF, NES? WTF?

Never played that game, but it looks like fun. What system is it on??

I played it on Dreamcast, though it may have come out on PS2 as well, I'm not sure. Great game.

Here's another one that I admit playing at one point.. Pooyan, a NES game..
A group of babies fighting back an army of wolves who want to eat them. Babies shoot arrows & hotdogs.. Wolves parachute their way down using balloons, then they go up 'ladders' and use timing to devour the babies. Crazy idea! WTF!

OMG, that is so awesome! I'm going to have to track that down some time! And for some reason, reminded me of this very WTF game:

They're not babies, they're supposed to be pigs. As in the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. I think you're confusing the red super arrows for hotdogs, too. I actually loved Pooyan when it first came out in the arcades.

And while it's a novel concept, I think the winner for most "out there" game would have to be Burgertime. Why are eggs and weiners trying to stop me from making hamburgers?

LOL! Thanks for the clarification El Skutto! Never saw the NES case/box, just bought it before as a 2nd-hand cartridge.

Here's another WTF moment in gaming:

Game: Batman: Dark Tomorrow (X-Box)
WTF Moments:
- Batman falls off easily when you try to swing using the grappling hook
- AI is too good that thugs beat up Batman pretty easily!!!

WTF!!!!!!!!

Speaking of crappy comic video games, did anyone play that N64 Superman game. God, it sucked. The NES Superman was no masterpiece, either.

Crappy? That X-Men game on Genesis was INCREDIBLE! Might be the best X-Men game to date, imo.

Superman on N64, however, is often heralded as the worst game ever made.

Yup. I actually made the mistake of buying it back then too. Even the latest one sucked pretty badly.
