Some bad games of note:
Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing.
Just.. wow. You can drive through buildings, infinitely accelerate in reverse (and then stop on a dime when you let go of the button), and in the unpatched version the opposing drivers never moved off the starting line. Not to mention the fact that hills have no effect on acceleration, you can drive up near vertical mountains and off the edge of the world, you fall through bridges...
The Scroll
Slightly lesser-known game. I actually still have this on CD. It's probably abandonware actually. Not that you would want it up here.
Basically this was a point and click adventure type game, set in Egypt, where you are an archaeologist or something trying to uncover some mystery. It has a novel inventory management system. Basically, if you drop an object on a screen, it will stay there until you go and pick it up again. However, since the screens are simply static picture backgrounds, you can drop items in mid-air, on the ceiling, on people's heads, and they'll just sit there.
The graphics are also not very good. And the game is just.. mind numbing.
Frank Herbert's Dune
This game was based on the 'Frank Herbert's Dune' mini tv series. It's an action/adventure type game set in the world of Dune, where you control the main character, Paul Atreides.
Sounds great so far. But then you play it.
The controls are just... I don't know who came up with this but they are a joke. You can't even change the direction your character is looking. There are scenes in which you are running towards the camera and have no idea what is in front of you. The bad camera and shocking controls kill this game. It actually might have been ok otherwise.
