This is the first time I've ever had that "I played this when I was a child and I loved it" experience that people often comment on Worst Games Ever. I played hours and hours of Winter Olympics 98 on the N64 when I was 7 or 8. I didn't even have a memory cartridge so I used to unlock the events again and again every time I played it.
Sega Touring Car has two bonus tracks, a strange half-throttle button option, and a Direct 3D graphics patch. The Saturn version has two unlockable Sega Rally cars, though I'm not sure if they made it to the PC port.
Nailed that, team. Funny and well researched script, Ashton's personal VO style is coming together *beautifully*, and the TJ edits these days are consistently top drawer. Minus one star for lack of war crimes.
Ashton is a great addition to the team! She’s doing fantastic! It does make me feel old to know she was born in ‘98 though. Lol. 🤣 I love these “Worst Games of” lists! Keep ‘em coming!
I agree she fits in well, i don't know if she has the personality or voice/tone/delivery for these lists or some of the video series as she's my least favorite to listen to by a good margin, but i think she does great on the podcast and just needs more time to hone her craft
@@colinpenn7702 yeah im not a huge fan of her voice/delivery she lacks the excitement and enthusiasm the boys seem to have. But she does have good chemistry with them in the videos with all of them and her voice and energy in those videos is whats needed in these
@@jimon8998 yeah she also talks a little too fast and it sounds like she is mumbling instead of annunciating her words. I agree about the delivery, while the guys change their tone and deliver the dry sarcasm well her voice or tone never changes throughout the entire video and it comes off like she's bored since she's so monotone and it diminishes her delivery of "one liners" but when she's on the podcasts and shows she's much better. Wish her all the best though
@@merlingstoss6332 hey no need to be mean with no constructive criticism. She's trying and although her ability to do the lists might not be great, she is doing her best and practice will only help her improve
I used to love watching Pret Xampras play when I was young. Also the C: Contra Adventure game looks cool as hell. Would like to see Worst Games Ever play that one and The Fifth Element game.
@@PsychomachineryEBM I'm a bit confused as to why you'd think I haven't seen the video when I commented saying I have. Of course she appears loads, she's presenting the video. 🤷♂️
Yeah... When we talk about old games, remember one thing: Old games are basically twice as many recent games, if it's good, it's REALLY good. But if it's bad... *Confused screaming*
"The only thing players are really after is the thrill of driving obscenely expensive cars" Not really - there's an insane amount of fun to be had taking regular cars, hot hatches and more, and taking them to limits you just can't reach on a road. One of my favourite things in Gran Turismo is taking an Alfa Romeo 147 or a Seat Ibiza Cupra and going 'round the track, improving it and customising it.
You know you are getting old when someone saying they were born in 1998 is 23; not a child like you sort of feel they should be. Zimmer frame and a warm blanket here I come.
I thought this too! ‘98 was a good year for games… I do remember playing the winter Olympic game on my mates N64 though and even as an impressionable 15 year old, it was still a bit rubbish!
All I know is that at absolutely NO POINT in the history of human existence has anyone ever uttered the statement "DUUUUDE!! You totally have to play 'Nagano Winter Olympics '98'! That game is the s**t, bro!" Nobody ever said that. Ever. At all.
with my birthyear complete, I will be collecting these videos until I have all the years of my siblings and friends’ birthdays, so I can send them over like terrible e-cards. “your birth was the best part of the year! don’t believe me? here’s 10 proofs!”
Wow I completely forgot G.A.S.P. I know I owned it but all I can remember is one of the characters was a gray zombie thing and one of the areas was a flooded office I think...
I knew Batman and Robin was gonna make to the list, while it perfectly captures the movies atmosphere and offers a large world for us to explore the controls are atrcious, the visuals are plain bad even for an early 3d open world game and the draw distance is so poor.
Batman and Robin is definitely not a horrible game, as everyone one makes it out to be, as a matter of a fact, this game is quite ambitious for it's open world concept and time which really matters.
Honestly i do not know this games, but i know where is the problem, it is strange to have a review from some kid born yesterday? that know nothing about that era of gaming. This changes a lot.
My fav gaming year! But yeah, of course there are also some bad games. I actually used to enjoy Industry Giant, but Industry Giant II is so, so much better. No Extreme Paintbrawl though? That is quite the surprise.
Mmmmm.. I've noticed that a lot of golluf games have either too easy or too hard putting mechanics. My own personal favourite is still the Playstation version of 'Everybody's Golf.' That just seems to strike a good balance in every type of shot for me.
How does "The Fifth Element" make it to no. 1 here? I own that game for PS1 ever since I was a kid and I loved and still love it as much as the legendary movie. It is certainly no masterpiece, that's for sure, but it is very well playable and entertaining and even stays relatively close to the movies plot (a rarity for that time) and has some added in cutscenes directly from the movie. I'd say it's a solid 70%, maybe even cratching the 75, but that low and number 1 on the worst game list? Like WTF?!
I really like this series of videos. For some of these games, I think "Oh, this wasn't THAT bad, was it? Seems like the critics were off the mark here..." and then I'll go and try the game and it's always "Yikes... I guess I was the one off the mark here...".
My problem with 1998 wasn't the games listed here. Wasn't even due to any game released that year. 1998 was supposed to see the release of the amazing Thrill Kill. A 4 player beatem-up that got cancelled after EA bought out Virgin Interactive. Because as well as being assholes they're pussyholes too. I'm just grateful I managed to procure a finished copy of the game. If this had released it would've thrown even more shade at Deadly Art.
Also after reading through the comments, it appears that the lady who does the presenting is new.. which took me by surprise as I think she is very good
Hehehe that group shot…you guys are just puppies! I had to LIVE through weird games years like 9& and (yuck ) 2000. I am 44 as on last Saturday, yipes! The worst part of being a gamer back then was that the designers (and movie makers SPAWN you listening?!) knew what they wanted to do, but the technology just wasn’t reasonable JUST YET.
PS- The fixed camera in 3d games was a HUGE problem back then…we are spoiled by camera control in modern games, we really take it for granted. It’s so bad that when I go back to try to play PS1 level 3d games, I can’t do it. I just can’t do it with the fixed camera now that I’ve seen what’s on the other side of the mountain. Hell, I didn’t even REALIZE that Ninja Gaiden 1 on XBOX still had a fixed camera even that late. Ninja Gaiden 1 Sigma is hands down my favorite game of all time, but back when I tried it on Xbox, I couldn’t get much further than level three because the camera made the necessary jumps impossible.
This is the first time I've ever had that "I played this when I was a child and I loved it" experience that people often comment on Worst Games Ever.
I played hours and hours of Winter Olympics 98 on the N64 when I was 7 or 8. I didn't even have a memory cartridge so I used to unlock the events again and again every time I played it.
Hah me too
Please do more worst of yesteryear lists! It was really cool to see what awful games were coming out the year I was born
Yes. Please do 1982.
I agree. These lists are awesome.
No, please don't. Let one of the other 2 do it.
I wonder what the worst games of 1980 were 🤔.. oh wow I'm old 😐
I hope they do worst games of 1993 since I was born that year

@@akex9990 Thanks Alex.
Ashton's version of Simon's if you wanna get serious about it was spot on & down right hilarious. Wasn't expecting that at all. Just made my day!💯😂😁
Ashton is a great addition to the team! She’s doing fantastic! It does make me feel old to know she was born in ‘98 though. Lol. 🤣 I love these “Worst Games of” lists! Keep ‘em coming!
Makes me feel old as well lol time seems to be moving so fast at this point I can’t keep up
She'd be better if she wrote her own stuff.
@@currychips maybe.
Hell no lol
Perve alert
Ashton crushed it! She's fitting right in and sounds like she's been part of the Channel well beyond her years. Well done.
I agree she fits in well, i don't know if she has the personality or voice/tone/delivery for these lists or some of the video series as she's my least favorite to listen to by a good margin, but i think she does great on the podcast and just needs more time to hone her craft

Pretty awful, really. Monotonous delivery with poor wordplay.
@@merlingstoss6332 hey no need to be mean with no constructive criticism. She's trying and although her ability to do the lists might not be great, she is doing her best and practice will only help her improve
Here We Go Sports Time!! Ashton, that was incredible!
"Deadly Arts? More like.. Deadly Farts!" *farting sounds
The facepalming at the end really killed me
I was 13 in 1998 and Played a lot of crappy games in 1998 on PSX
I used to love watching Pret Xampras play when I was young.
Also the C: Contra Adventure game looks cool as hell. Would like to see Worst Games Ever play that one and The Fifth Element game.
The editing in these videos is the best thing ever.
Especially when a chick looks for some attention through the whole video with her pics 😂
@@PsychomachineryEBM I'm not sure I know what you mean?
@@zetandpeligaming watch the video, then you would maybe understand (count how many times she appears on screen)
@@PsychomachineryEBM I'm a bit confused as to why you'd think I haven't seen the video when I commented saying I have. Of course she appears loads, she's presenting the video. 🤷♂️
@@zetandpeligaming so you get it
Can we get a monthly compilation of every " oh yeah sports time" for the entirety of the channel at the end of every month
Deadly farts gag was 10/10 editing well played.
🤣🤣🤣
With THAT name I expected that joke as soon as the name dropped :D
Yeah... When we talk about old games, remember one thing: Old games are basically twice as many recent games, if it's good, it's REALLY good. But if it's bad... *Confused screaming*

'I'm not doing that twice in a list' loving it, keep it up Ashton! You're a brilliant addition to team triple jump, love your work.
OH YEAH, HERE WE GO, SPORTS TIME!!!!!
I'm gonna give it all I've got!
I love these worst games lists-please keep making them🙏🏾
I agree 😊
Ummm, the narrator was born in 1998? Is this the most qualified person to discuss this topic?
You know you are getting old when someone saying they were born in 1998 is 23; not a child like you sort of feel they should be.
Zimmer frame and a warm blanket here I come.
I was a temper-laden, greasy-haired 13-year-old when she was born ... I do feel old :B
I thought this too! ‘98 was a good year for games…
I do remember playing the winter Olympic game on my mates N64 though and even as an impressionable 15 year old, it was still a bit rubbish!
"More like deadly farts!" *pitch shifted farting*
Me, an adult nearing his 30s, laughing my ass off.
I laughed way harder at "Deadly Farts" than I had any right to
I liked the 98 Olympics for N64.
What is the song you use at the start of every song?
The obligatory Simon Miller impression made me giggle.
Simon Miller is awesome 😊
Honorable Mention: Blood 2
What a killer channel
Oh man. 1998 was a great year for great games. I played most of them in '99 though, when I finally had a PSX!
Can we have some early 90s please. Would be good to see some Amiga stinkers.
I wasn't ready for the SPORTS TIME but now Ben isn't lonely anymore!
All I know is that at absolutely NO POINT in the history of human existence has anyone ever uttered the statement "DUUUUDE!! You totally have to play 'Nagano Winter Olympics '98'! That game is the s**t, bro!" Nobody ever said that. Ever. At all.
wow I completely forgot about Deadly Arts! I remember seeing that one on the shelf all of the time, and being intrigued by the awesome cover art
After seeing it here, I'm pretty sure I had picked it up used from blockbuster. It was ok..
I love this idea! Worst games from the past, great fun to watch!
Me to. I also love bad game reviews 😊
Crazy that 1998 is going on 27 now.
I was butt hurt about the Sports Time line until I heard the Miller impression
with my birthyear complete, I will be collecting these videos until I have all the years of my siblings and friends’ birthdays, so I can send them over like terrible e-cards. “your birth was the best part of the year! don’t believe me? here’s 10 proofs!”
Wow I completely forgot G.A.S.P. I know I owned it but all I can remember is one of the characters was a gray zombie thing and one of the areas was a flooded office I think...
08:05 I knew it was coming, but it still have me a giggle!
Plot twist, these 10 games were the only 10 bad games that released the entire year 😂
yes the best TripleJump member finally
Yes! Ashton's first "if you want to get serious about this" was spot on.
The day I hear Ash uses Ben's catchphrase I'm going to die laughing
Yeah you just said that
Industry Giant actually doing really well and getting a sequel was such a great plot twist
Something feels different about the sports time in this video, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
Jeez, while I was looking away, that ending was as abrupt as a developer closure under EA
I knew Batman and Robin was gonna make to the list, while it perfectly captures the movies atmosphere and offers a large world for us to explore the controls are atrcious, the visuals are plain bad even for an early 3d open world game and the draw distance is so poor.
Can you imagine a remake of The Fifth Element in todays market with Leeloo crawling on the floor like that in that outfit. Fucking Multipass please.
I cringed so hard at the sports time gag. Other than that, awesome!
I always do. Annoys me in every video when a sports game comes up
Deadly Arts has a wicked soundtrack
I had gt 64. I played it for about 5 mins trying to race but finding out I had to qualify. Turned it off and never played it again.
That sucks 😕
Isn't Fox Sports Golf infamous for something besides bad quality? Like something people found in the files?
No, that was Tiger Woods 99 PGA golf tour. That had a South Park short on the disc.
Fox Sports Golf didn't have that pilot episode of South Park, that would be Tiger Woods PGA Tour '99
"oh yeah, here we go, sports time" doesn't hit the same if it's not said by Ben.
Batman and Robin is definitely not a horrible game, as everyone one makes it out to be, as a matter of a fact, this game is quite ambitious for it's open world concept and time which really matters.
More Ashton doing lists please :-)
So this was a rough year for racing/sports games 🥶
Way to make me feel old, telling me your 5 years younger than me XD
She's the same age as my high school diploma
1998 What A Year Powerpuff Girls First Aired I started 3rd Grade and Mulan was released by Disney good times
Have you played Extreme Paintbrawl?
I love how Tim Curry has become the meme saint of Capitalism and SPACE!!
Actually industry giant was a very good and innovative game and way ahead of his time. The second was also better.
Honestly i do not know this games, but i know where is the problem, it is strange to have a review from some kid born yesterday? that know nothing about that era of gaming. This changes a lot.
That game looked worse than Ridge Racer, which came out in 1993...
My fav gaming year! But yeah, of course there are also some bad games.
I actually used to enjoy Industry Giant, but Industry Giant II is so, so much better.
No Extreme Paintbrawl though? That is quite the surprise.
Unlistenable
Thanks for making me feel old Ash. 1998 was my first year of high school lol
Hold my beer - I was 32.
I was year from graduating 🎓 😭
I won the egg race that year, and I’m not talking about the egg and spoon race
Ah, the year I graduated high school. 🍿😅
She was born in 98?? Christ I’m old!
Born in 1998 ??? Fuck I’m old 1987 and still gaming strong
You were born in 1998? Jesus I feel old
Why did it just... end like that?
Ashton was not born in 1998. Nobody was. It's too young. Stop it! D:
Mmmmm.. I've noticed that a lot of golluf games have either too easy or too hard putting mechanics. My own personal favourite is still the Playstation version of 'Everybody's Golf.' That just seems to strike a good balance in every type of shot for me.
I rented Nagano Winter Olympics and instantly regretted it. I was stuck with it for a week
How does "The Fifth Element" make it to no. 1 here? I own that game for PS1 ever since I was a kid and I loved and still love it as much as the legendary movie.

600th like. Cool. You know what else helps a good racing game besides graphics, cars and courses? Half decent crashes.
I really like this series of videos. For some of these games, I think "Oh, this wasn't THAT bad, was it? Seems like the critics were off the mark here..." and then I'll go and try the game and it's always "Yikes... I guess I was the one off the mark here...".
Nice use of the 'jogging' scene from Steven Seagal's Hard to Kill!
Sega Touring Car Championship was too realistic? I remember it being insanely arcadey in terms of car handling even at the time.
More worst games of the years please. Thanks my dudes.
I agree 👍
Here's to all my fellow 1998 babies...Ashton included!
Batman big, Batman small, Batman big, Batman small, Batman big, Batman small
As I kid I used to think that the Batman and Robin Game was the Best thing ever
Love the sports time bit
I guess my birth year had it lucky in terms of trash games compared to other years
I don't know. Sega touring car looks pretty fun from the footage shown
Invasion from Beyond 🤢!
And
Rascal on PS1!(;
Until I started binging this channel I had never heard the British Slang word "naff". I had to Google it

Can't wait to see some of the worst of the worst get into the single digit scores.
Me too ✋
I enjoyed Deadly Arts 🥶🥶🥶
I need that background music
Give Ashley a raise
Also after reading through the comments, it appears that the lady who does the presenting is new.. which took me by surprise as I think she is very good
Thinking about it, Batman and Robin feels like a proto Batman: Arkham City
We all know which game is better
Oh my god that Simon Miller impression is everything!!!
Appaloosa Interactive: The Horses A$$ of Game Companies...
The worst Batman game was the one that came out on the super nintendo
No "Extreme Paintbrawl"?

really glover on the ps1 was supposed to be on the 1 on the list.you know why because glover on ps1 got 31% on gamerankings
