Play Beavis and Butthead for the Game Gear and then tell me it's worse than that. I'd gladly play E.T. for hours before that game.

Watched a Tool Assisted Speedrun for Hydlide and the most impressive part were when they changed the 5 tones used for music to 5 other tones, didn't look that good, mostly since it didn't seem that apparent what you were supposed to do.

Whatever the worst game ever is, I'm pretty sure we've never heard of it.
