Timeball is okay.  Simple puzzle game, kinda fun, not great.  It reminds me a lot of Pipe Dreams or whatever that I had on an old DOS computer a long time ago.  Honestly, I don't think that Timeball belongs on this list, but the people spoke, so, whatever.

Darkwing Duck and Deep Blue both seem to me like games that were almost okay but failed instead. 

As un-fun as it is to play, Yo Bro has the slightly redeeming feature of letting me listen to TG16 Chiptunes versions of the Beach Boys.  I can honestly say that's pretty cool.

The sports games suck, yeah, but even with no real redeeming qualities they still weren't offensively bad.

Falcon, Gunboat, and Ballistix though?  Man they were awful.  They got my votes.
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

I'm surprised Ballistix has so many votes. It's not great, but I don't think it's one of the worst. It's repetitive for sure, but it's not bad especially with two players. It's a futuristic air hockey, pinball... soccer... shooter game. How can you go wrong?  :wink:

You can go wrong by giving it pretty horrible play mechanics. Which they did.

I don't think Timeball (or pipe dream, or any similar game) is all that much fun personally, but it's not the worst.  Looks like Falcon is taking it so far.
