THe buggiest game contest!

the buggiest games contest is now open ! please post the names of the buggiest games ever made ! (with pics if you have somes)

ive heard about a game one atari called mission imposible (or something like that) that was really imposible to finish because of a bug ...ive heard that this game was really rare too (because of is bug...) dont know if is true (i think i view this in a EGM issue) but if it is , this game is a big competitor!!!

not to mention the enter the matrix game.... damn! why theey choose shyny? WHY???!!! :smt022

post your games plz! :smt024

 

I have only found one bug in Enter the Matrix. However there are a LOT in KISS: Psyco Circus

 

I think Battlefield 1942 wins that contest without any doubt.

 

Club Drive

My vote goes to Club Drive for the Jaguar as per Seanbaby's review (as I've never actually played the game).

I love the game, but Goldeneye 007 on N64 is fraught with bugs.

 

Super Man 64, it has so many bugs that it is unplayable, and i have head some things about E.T. for the 2600 :smt040

 

Thief 3 has a serious bug

If you play on the highest difficulty and save it will revert to the default. Unfortunatly this applies to the Xbox and PC version. The Xbox version is not live enabled so a patch is doubtful. Most of the development team was canned after it was completed too.

 

Star Wars: KOTOR has to be one of the buggiest games in recent memory. It is also probably the best Star Wars game made. I'll cut Bioware some slack on this one though. When you have this much freedom in an RPG glitches are bound to come up.

 

I think my self-made Pong clone for the PSX is a winner in this category :smt024
I remember reading in one of Edge's retro issues about a Vectrex game (Minestorms I think) that just crashed after level 13... because the programmers thought noone would ever make it that far :smt043

Is it? I cant remember any from the top of my head (but its been a while since I played it) :smt017

 

One of the buggiest games I've played must be Evil Twin on the Dreamcast. That game has so many bugs from physical to graphical bugs. If you ever play it make sure that you save at every chance you get !!.

Buggie games ? lol (good topic)

Ok, let's begin...

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos /Saturn
First release of Croc - Croc without head :smt023 looool

Rockman X /SFC
First release of Rockman X - the first boss had infinitely energie, impossible to beat :smt043

But I think these games are very rare, today.

 

there's also an mastersystem game out there which has in the last level an door thats locked.. and the key for that door .... well is behind the door thats locked LOL

 

Hmm? Which. I don't recall such game on the SMS.

 

I vote Sonic Heroes on the 'cube. When as Tails doing the flying/drag thing he will frequently fall through the floor into the void underneath. As Shadow, if you run back the way you came on the levels, you can run through rings without picking them up. But you do have to run back quite a long way through the level.

Oh yes and I vote Broken Sword on the GBA, there are tons of bugs in that which prevent you progressing through the game without a GameFAQ's guide.

 

Sonic Heroes, never seen such a fucked up graphics engine with so many enviromental bugs (running into walls, hanging behind invisible walls, falling through solid floors etc )

 

Heard of a game ( cant remember wat is was) that had you trying to jump over a box or something that was way too high so you could never get to the next level.

 

- WW2 Online - PCOnline-Only Multiplayer game

The game was released, but after you installed it you could not play it. Bugs all over the place. The most curious was that you could not connect to the server. Since it's online only... :smt043

- Sonic Heroes

I tried to play it, even on the gamecube. it's terrible. If you like sonic, don't play it. :toimonster:

- Enter The Matrix

There are some weird bugs, like getting stuck. I hope Matrix Online it's better ( i just saw the Trailer on Matrix Revolutions DVD. It appears to be amazing! )

 

And here I thought I was just stupid and couldn't figure out what to do. :smt043

 

re

I'd have to say the original (unpatched) version of "Daggerfall" (precursor to Xbox's and PC's Morrowind), and Elite III (Frontier: First Encounters). Between these two I've never seen any buggier game.

 

Oh yes, I heard some *very* bad things about Daggerfall. Like the main quest not appearing before installing loads of patches :smt043
