Ah, what a year 1993 was. Snoop Dogg released his debut album, cinema lovers were treated to the likes of Jurassic Park, Mrs. Doubtfire, and The Fugitive, and Earring Magic Ken became the best-selling Ken doll in history. It was also a great year to be a gamer, as players got to experience DOOM, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and Star Fox for the very first time. Where there was the good though, there was also the very, very bad, and so we’re back, yet again, to chronicle the most egregious games that the year 1993 had to offer. Here are the 10 Worst Games of 1993

People can call the cops on you for insulting them and you'll get a hefty fine, especially if it's tied to road rage. No, I am not kidding you. And they actually do that. The Krauts are crazy, man.

Holy cow, there are actually games I've played in this list! Several! - 7th Guest... I said it in a comment below, but my brother and I beat this one. It was legitimately satisfying. In a world dominated by point-and-click tosh, this really stood out in a good way. I feel like if it were re-released today with the technical issues fixed, it would score a lot higher than it did back then. - Battletoads vs Double Dragon... Again, I enjoyed this one. Ok, it was simplistic, and the difficulty was all over the place. But still a decently fun game. It loses points for not giving you the option to force-feed spinach to Abobo. - Columns 3... This was... fine. It was a pretty decent puzzler in the "Tetris" vein. There was a lot worse out there. - Mario is Missing... Ok, I never actually played this one. My friends did though. Wasn't this the game that taught kids to identify countries by shallow national stereotyping? Edutainment! - Mortal Kombat... Honestly this seemed fine at the time. I'm guessing it wouldn't hold up too well now though.

I played this on both NES and Genesis. I did not think it also had an SNES port. I thought the deal was the SNES got Battlemaniacs instead. Apparently they got that as an extra SNES exclusive. I really enjoyed this game and don't think it belongs on this list. I have played it single player and man is it a tough game, but it is very fun and very rewarding, particularly if you have an appetite for high-difficulty games and the learning curve required. I thought it was an excellent, successful crossover that worked really well. Only thing is I can't speak for the SNES port or if it's noticeably inferior to the other 2 ports. I beat both NES and Genesis versions on single player but it's quite the daunting task. Was really satisfying each time though.

I wonder if the criteria of needing seven professional reviews skews these earlier lists more than later lists because of how the internet developed. 1993 was the year Link: Faces of Evil came out and while I was young at the time I was aware of its existence.

But I do wish I could've played games like Doom, Duke Nukem 2, and Sim City 2000, but they weren't on the n64, but I do love that console anyways. It's how I got into series like Pokémon, Resident Evil, The Legend of Zelda(both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask), even other series like F-Zero X, Star Fox 64, Duke Nukem 3D(the n64 version), Kirby 64 and The Crystal Shards, DK64, Conker's Bad Fur Day(even though I never got a sequel), Banjo-Kazooie and; Banjo-Tooie, and most of all to me the, Super Smash Bros. series, but sorry for getting off track there. But I'm glad for the chance to go back and see what stuff I missed out on back then. It wasn't half bad of a list. But I guess games like the Zelda CD-I Games, and "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties", aren't bad enough for the list? Because I've heard of their infamy, I mean, the Zelda CD-I games were so bad, they created ytp's, and I love watching those. So at least the Zelda CD-I Trilogy did something right, after all?

Are you not aware that Columns III had a story mode, whereas the original 1990 Columns game did not? That's why you're fighting against the creatures in the middle of the screen, and their table is on the right side while yours is on the left.

Earring Magic Ken needs to be brought up. Mattel, the company behind Barbie was upset with the Ken attache rate. For every dozen Barbies sold, only 1 or less Kens were sold. So the higher ups sent their designers to clubs to find out what was cool and hip at the time to redesign Ken for the 90s... What they came back with was Ken wearing a mesh top, silky, roomy pants and a metal ring on a necklace. What they DIDN'T tell the CEOs/HIgher ups was the designers went almost primarily to GAY DANCE CLUBS, and the Ken they were selling was a very openly gay Ken wearing a cock ring necklace. Which is why he quickly became such a hot buy.

My mom wouldn't let me play SNES Mortal Kombat as a kid because if the violence, but got me Gameboy Mortal Kombat instead. I have played much more of that terrible game than anyone should. It is nearly impossible to execute any special moves.

I had a somewhat similar experience game boy was all I had as a kid and I played the heck out of that thing. But that game boy game will always be infamous to me because I remember buying it and regretted it instantly. But like you did in those days you kept playing it because it was what you had. I know I finally sold that game to a shop at some point but I couldn't tell you how much I got only that I got rid of it.

Hey now, I happen to really enjoy the Family Dog game. The physics are bizarre but there's a lot of weirdness

@jegr3398 Жыл бұрын

Oh my gosh, Megarace! Haha I used to play that on my Grandparent's computer, it was more powerful than the computer we had at home that my dad bought. Lance Boyle! Haha! I always wondered what the name of that game was, I had forgotten it's name a long time ago.

I actually had (still have actually) that Game Boy Mortal Kombat. I made it a point to learn the game when I found out there was a cheat to play as Goro...

About the German review: We call lackluster things "Gurke" (cucumber). This goes back to "Saure Gurken Zeit" (pickle time), which describes a time of sparsity - as in the time of the year, that only has preserved food.

I remember all these games so clearly! Specially the Gameboy MK. Had to play MK somehow. Did have a Genesis but mom was not going to let me play the controversial game so burrowing the Gameboy version was the only option I had.

I have fond memories of playing MegaRace on Christmas break after we got our first PC (a Packard Bell Pentium 60mhz). The announcer's name was "Lance Boyle" - a completely useless bit of trivia which I've always remembered! I'm sure the game got very little play after those first few weeks, though. It wasn't very good.

I used to work with a woman whose only claim to fame is that she used to know Chesney Hawks, and this was in 2005, years before his monumental comeback that I'm sure we all remember fondly.

The weird thing is that Paladins Quest was really intricate, with magic taking your HP actually being a thing to balance it out, as once you levelled your spirits, magic became incredibly overpowered. Granted, the game doesn't explain this at all, and you only really have 2 characters, everyone else is just there temporarily. Which was a weird choice.

Family Dog was based off an episode of Spielbergs Amazing Stories, a short lives but pretty good Sci-Fi series of the time. Sorta like Twilight Zone

You forget to mention that 1993 was also the year that moms everywhere rioted in the aisles of ToysRUs because they couldn't find a Dragonzord from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers line of toys for little Timmy.
