I will admit, this game is awful. But it's often regarded to be the worst game of all time. Really? It might not even make it to my top 10, hell, chances are it wouldn't make it to my top 50.
Now why did I give this such a high rating? Well I'll tell you, this game is so awful, it's actually in a humorous matter. I actually played this game the most out of the Atari 2600 games, due to its addictive game-play.
I've actually heard from some cites that this game has broken controls...no it doesn't, they aren't special or anything, but compared to the ones in Superman 64 or Dark Castle, this game is like Contra (well, in terms of control).
Now, while I would never consider it the best Atari 2600 game, I don't consider it the worst either. Why am I in the minority that thinks this way? Any gamer with good taste would think the title to worst Atari game goes to Custer's Revenge (or any other porn game). The graphics in this game probably gets the title for worst graphics on the Atari 2600, but graphics don't always make the game, and even though they're bad, they at least don't pierce my eyes. I also feel like the crash is over- exaggerated, and happily, I'm not the only one, people treat this game like it was the only factor that caused it.
I will agree that this is probably the most notorious game, but that's about it.
So, now that I've been defending it so much, why didn't it get a higher rating? We'll...those inspectors are assholes, I hate those biologists, the colors are in different shades of green (besides Elliot, inspectors, and biologists), and don't even get me started on those god damn pits.
Overall, this game would've been much better if Howard Scott Warshaw was given more than 5 weeks to program it, but I've played much worse games (like Action 52, Superman 64, do I have to do this all day?). By all means will I agree to despise it, but I will never consider this the worst game.
