Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Video gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry, and the production values of the latest console or PC titles usually show it. Of course, it didn't always used to be that way. Thanks to the folks at GamesRadar you can now enjoy (or suffer through) the most spectacularly bad openings of all time without even having to play them. Admittedly, it doesn't start too badly. "Zero Wing" led to one of the Internet's most endearing memes, for example, and there are plenty of movies out there with terrible acting to laugh at. But when a poor imitation of James Earl Jones narrates the long winded introduction to "Savage Skies," nothing really makes sense. And perhaps "Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance" lost something in the translation? The true winner (or loser) is "Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road," released back in 1998 for the NES. This one is so bad that even GamesRadar dares you to walk the entire victorious path: "Think you have the stones to watch it from start to finish? We dare you to try, punk."
