    Several years ago I got Police Quest: SWAT, thinking it would be a really in-depth game with realistic challenges. It was way too boring for me. It did not help that the game was bugged and only the first mission could be played. Sometimes the scripted events wouldnt even work, sticking the game in one spot. I think the developers knew that the only real fun in the game would come from goofing off and disobeying your orders, so they included numerous cutscenes of your superiors reading you the riot act every time you pointed your gun in the wrong spot. Oh well. I guess there are worse games I could have bought.

    Across the Rhine

    This was a WWII tank game from Microprose. It stank and Microprose sank.

    I can think of 3 off hand

    Age of Sail 2--- I spotted this game in the store the day it arrived. The box had a wonderful color depiction of a Napoleonic period naval battle, and the screenshots on the back of the box were just as impressive showing massive naval battles during the age of sail. I could not wait to get home and become Master and Commander.

    What a bug infested piece of virtual crap. Hardly anything functioned and the game crashed to desk top about every 5 minutes. This game had the distinction of being voted as one of the top 5 worst games of the year it came out by at least two major gaming magazines.

    Lords of the Realms 3 Already mentioned by several, but I'll add my comments to the list. What a disappointing sequel to a game (LOTR 2)that is usually mentioned in the top 100 game of all time, every time such a list is made. I can only describe the game play LOTR 3 as what it must be like to try to herd cats. It was on my hard drive all of two days.

    Combat Flight Simulator 3 Microsoft's 3rd entry in to what was a so so line of WW II combat filght sims. I have never thought the CFS series was great, but I did enjoy the first two sims for what they were. CFS 3 however stunk up my system--it was buggy as crap and a tweaker's nightmare. The terrain graphics were ugly to boot. It lasted 3 days on my system.

    Artillery adds dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Septerra core. Interesting concept. Flat battle system. Combat animations so unbelievably slow you could nap in between rounds.
