Horrible games that you couldn't resist. . .

Yep, Macho Women with Guns. Gets my vote. And for full disclosure, I bought all the sequels/expansions for it too!!! Batwinged Bimbos from Hell? I think that was one of them.

Thanks,
Rich

And Renegade Nuns on Wheels would be the other?

I'll admit that the Amazing Engine was disappointing, though I'm talking more about truly tasteless, unapologetic, romps into Bad, Wrong, Fun Land. Things like Senzar or, perhaps, the original Macho Women With Guns. The gaming hobby's own literary equivalents of Pink Flamingos.

Is F.A.T.A.L. what you are talking about? If you don't know about it read: http://atrocities.primaryerror.net/fatal.html and the defence here : http://forever_fatal.tripod.com/review.htm

Fortunatly the fatalgames home page and the fatal rpg pdf aren't avalible any more...

But it isn't fun, it is just horrible.

World of Synnibar fan (sort of) here. It's goofy. It's stupid. The system is screwy as all heck. It has a god of ninjas and rock'n'roll for the love of Pete.

But...I've enjoyed it every time I've played it.

For me the two worst games were Toon ... okay, after one session it got REAL boring ... and Clayorama (anyone remember the old Dragon Mag game writeup ... at least I think it was in there ). Clayorama could also be played once. That was it. :\

Must admit that I did enjoy the clayorama thing ... toon I did not.

That sounds right. They are stored in a box someplace. Would confirm if I knew which box.

Thanks

That is so sick, wrong and tasteless that I simply must have it. Where's that from?

• Flying bears that can shoot lasers out of their eyes (World of Synnibarr)
  
  
• Semen-blooded rape ogres (Promised Sands)
  
  
• Space-travelling sodomy bikers (HoL)
  
  
• Mutations that let your PC urinate napalm before they instantly die due to coming within three miles of a body of water (deadEarth)

And I know that I'm not alone. . . so. . . what hugely horrible games (or games widely held as being hugely horrible) have you gone out of your way to track down, procure, and/or play?

Hol, of course. Just for the art and to read the rules.

Pie Shop - The serial killer role-playing game. Dubious premise, bad Alice in Wonderland stock art, probably only a few thousand original words total, but novel enough for me to instantly buy when I saw it. it does contain the d20 Serial Killer class in the back though. Wonder if I'll ever find somebody to let me play that one?

Rifts, especially the munchkin, I mean source books. Giant Robots, Atlantean symbiote aliens, and godlings, oh my!

I ran a very successful Heroes & Heroines game, which is pretty much a miracle, considering what a mess it is mechancially, textually, and aesthetically.

... and Clayorama (anyone remember the old Dragon Mag game writeup ... at least I think it was in there ). Clayorama could also be played once. That was it.

You could play Clayorama more than once, but you had to get new Play Doh every time ... at least the way we played.

My pick would have to be the Men in Black roleplaying game. It's actually not terrible, and has a very simple game mechanic decent for one shots, but no one seemed to like it.
