Well, Master of Orion III was crap, as was Civilization II: Test of Time (Civ II itself was awesome.) Beyond that, Tiberian Sun was depressing (yay for like 4 colors ) and I didn't really like Warcraft I too much (way too much parity between the two sides.)

Glad I could bring a little humor into your life, but I wasn't the one considering buying it, therefore didn't have the box to read. I just found it hard to believe that they'd do it that way and assumed it was analogous to Battlenet. AFA the guy who did buy it, he may have received it as a present, I can't remember right now.

Among the games that I actually paid for, I would pick Dungeon Siege. Was good to a point, but way too linear and basically amounts to click-click-click all the way through the game.
Bored me, and to this day I still haven't finished it.

I'm a fan of bargain bin games. Some times I'm lucky, some times I get burned bad. And some times I get the flesh seared off my arm for even touching the box. Secret of -something's- Reign was one of those games. My brain refuses to remember the title, it was so godawful. Needed the keyboard, the mouse, AND the joystick, ripped off the Zelda series, contained more typos than my creative writing packet and--get this--was a "Christian-based fantasy."
Not that the Christian-based part was the problem, but the designers obviously used a D&D-like system, but retitled EVERYTHING to make it seem less like D&D and more like an acceptable experience. Life points, training powers, miraculous saves...after a while, I was telling the (horrifically mispelled) screen to just go ahead and tip the hat to Gygax like everybody else. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Serves me right for picking up a $3 game at BigLots. Last month, I was gifted with NWN, and found out I'd need ~$300 of new computer equipment just so the game could run decently on my machine. The gift-giver didn't want to update my stuff. So I traded it for IWD2, which rules.

Exactly my philosophy, Pirengle. At least this way my girlfriend can't blame me to spend too much money on computer gaming, when it comes to dicussions about all the time I do spend on it.
I'm addicted to PC games since I first owned a Commodore 64 back in the mid eighties (but who do I tell that to on this forum?!). I've seen a lot of bad games since then, so I can't really name the worst. Latest bad game I bought was Stronghold (gets boring quickly due to limited player options + poor graphics). Someone mentioned Europa Universalis 2 to be bad. I've never played the sequel, but Europa Universalis 1 is one of my all time favourites. I'm playing it over and over again. Also the Ultima series is a real classic, though I agree that Ultima 8 (Pagan) is a little less compelling than the earlier ones.

Now Ultima 9, there was a loathshome waste of time and money! I think the complete and utter failure of Ultima 9 to live up to illustrious legacy of the previous installments is pretty much legendary these days so I won't go into the details...
