That Maiki is probably just a troll account. Note the bad Engrish and random thought structure of the posts. Go Go Gadget Ignore Button!

Best - Yar's Revenge, Adventure, Pitfall!, River Raid, Berzerk, Ms. Pac-Man, Kaboom!

Worst - E.T., Pac-Man, Airlock, any Mythicon or Froggo game.

Hated E.T. as a kid, will always and forever hate it. I played the FUCK out of Pac-Man after I got it, but realized after a while how bad it was. Went back to playing Yar and left Pac-Man to the dust bunnies.

Ok, so I have been in contact with Jesse. Everything is going as planned. Almost all the tables are spoken for, as well.

I will, once again, be back with a tournament. This year is the BAD GAME BEATDOWN 2 - THE REVENGE! Things are going to be a little different, though. I'll be joining forces with All Your Base Games and sharing a portion of his table space, and he will be sponsoring the tourney with prizes as well. Like last year, players will have to endure one of the worst games in my collection to win a prize. That game will not be revealed until the very moment of the tournament, though. It could be any game of any genre for any system. Yes, that includes the Virtual Boy or the CDi (oh, man, a CDi Zelda tourney...what fun that could be). I'll also be dressed up as the Angry Video Game Nerd, so if you see a nerd looking...well, angry, that'll be me.

Hope to see you all there!

Jesse is SUUUUPER busy right now. Haven't heard from him myself in over a month, but I know he's completely swamped right now.

But Defender, especially the arcade, took a HUGE amount of effort to be good at, and you'll likely not find many people who hate that game. It's not about how hard the game is to become good at, it's about how hard you have to fight the controls and bad game programming to get good at it. When a game is difficult or unplayable due to either shitty controls or just bad programming, then that's unacceptable. When a game is difficult because it's simply something you have to work at to play well, then that's another story.

For the record, I don't think E.T. is the worst game on the system. Not by a long shot. For the time he had, HSW did an amazing job at cobbling it all together. If he'd had another month of time to make it, I'd say it would have been an excellent game. It's just that there are other, far superior games on the system, and I'm not going to waste my time on playing a game that I have to try incredibly hard to squeeze even a modicum of fun out of when I could be playing something incredible like Yar's Revenge or Ms. Pac-Man.
